AI Firms Advise Pentagon on Risks of Next-Generation Models
Contracts obtained by The Intercept show OpenAI, Anthropic, and other frontier AI companies are doing more for the Pentagon than selling software licenses.
AI 'Civilizations' Emerge as Corporate Accountability Fades
Last week's reports on the OpenAI-Hugging Face hack were supposed to close the book on a July incident that already looked bad enough. Instead, they opened a new fight, this time over language.
Sotheby's Data Scientist Builds Algorithms to Predict Art Prices
Kelly Shen ’17 spends her days figuring out what a painting might sell for before it ever hits the block.
AI Agents Drive 14x Surge in Token Usage on OpenRouter
February 6, 2026, might mark a small milestone in AI history, the day humans stopped being the main users of their own technology.
Stanford's Karen Liu on Generalist AI's Large-Scale Robot Data Collection
A robot arm in Cambridge, Massachusetts, watched a short video of a person unzipping a purse and pulling out banknotes. Then it did the same thing to a different purse, one it had never seen.
DeepSeek's V4 Flash Agent Tasks Falter Amid Price Restructuring
DeepSeek's V4 Flash has spent the past few weeks sitting near the top of model leaderboards, with developers on X calling it a "total monster" for coding and agent work.
Writer says its new AI model cuts costs by 52% amid token spending surge
Writer put a number on the problem everyone in enterprise AI has been dancing around: token spending.
AI Labs' Breakthroughs Are "Pushing Us Further Away" From What People Need
Tim O'Reilly has been repeating the same line for three decades: create more value than you capture.
Kids Compare Current AI to the First Car or Airplane
Ask a room of teenagers about the last election or the price of concert tickets, and you'll get an earful.
NVIDIA NeMo Switchyard Routes AI Agent Workloads Across LLMs
NVIDIA released NeMo Switchyard, a library for routing AI agent workloads across multiple language models instead of locking an application into one.
OpenAI Slashes GPT-5.6 Luna AI Model Price by 80%
OpenAI cut the price of GPT-5.6 Luna by 80% this week, dropping the smallest model in its frontier lineup to $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens.
Brain Waves Could Guide AI on When to Learn, Neuroscientist Says
Andrew Ceja spent part of last week in a San Leandro warehouse pulling wooden blocks from a Jenga tower, slowly, one at a time, while wearing a headset that tracked his eyes and his brain waves.
Trump to Announce Utility Companies’ AI Energy Pledge Thursday
Nearly 200 utility companies and data center developers have signed on to President Trump's "rate payer protection pledge," a commitment his administration first floated in March to shield ordinary Americans from the rising cost of powering AI.
NVIDIA Decoding Cuts Color Code Error Rates by Over 300X
NVIDIA researchers say a new decoder built on Ising machine principles has knocked down logical error rates for color codes by more than 300 times compared to earlier methods.
Specialized Model Cuts ASR Errors With 15x Fewer Parameters Than LLMs
A team of six researchers, including Zijin Gu, Tatiana Likhomanenko and Navdeep Jaitly, is pushing back on the assumption that fixing speech-to-text errors requires a large language model.
Analytical AI predicts outcomes but isn’t agentic, experts say
The difference between an AI that predicts an outcome and one that makes a choice is what separates analytical AI from agentic AI.
Internet, cloud, and big data drive AI into large‑model era, but use stalls
Everyone is building AI brains. Now they's all shouting in different languages. The bet was simple: more data plus more computing equals smarter machines. It worked. Giants trained on internet-scale information can write, draw, and reason.
Ads Systems Include Eligibility Checks, Auctions, Budgets, Caps, Logging
Most machine learning projects die in production, throttled by the unglamorous infrastructure engineers often loathe building. Anyone can train a ranking model.
Meta to tighten AI token use with budgets, allocations and new AI Gateway
Meta’s engineers were gaming the system. The internal leaderboard called “Claudeonomics” tracked who could consume the most AI tokens, 73.7 trillion in just over a month.
Armstrong predicts 20% of AI workloads will stay on latest‑gen models
The demand for intelligence is effectively infinite, but the cost of delivering it is not. Armstrong’s calculus cuts through the hype: within 12 to 18 months, 80% of AI workloads will migrate to models that are 99% cheaper.
