AI reduces sensory hallucinations, even at night or in smoke
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs), which process multiple types of sensory information, such as text, images and audio, at the same time, are rapidly expanding the range of applications for artificial intelligence (AI). However, in real-world environments, these models can misinterpret the physical characteristics of sensors, mistakenly identify objects or claim to hear sounds that …

Modeling Device Capabilities for Analytics
by Aarti Laddha, Richard Diaz-Cool, Rishika Idnani, Venkatesh Selveraj Netflix supports a vast and evolving set of features and content types, ranging from 4K streaming and immersive audio to live streaming and cloud gaming, across a diverse ecosystem of devices. However, not all devices are created equal. Hardware limitations such as available RAM, CPU cores, …
Announcing the Agentic Catalog Experience in Amazon Quick
As organizations embrace AI-powered analytics, the value of a natural language (Text2SQL) answer is only as good as the business context behind it. We’re entering a phase where semantic richness (table and column descriptions, and relationships) must flow directly from where it’s authored in upstream data catalogs and semantic tools into the AI products that …

What’s new in AI infrastructure and orchestration this month
At Google, AI is a soup-to-nuts endeavor. Obviously, we make leading AI models like Gemini and Nano Banana. We incorporate AI into the tools you use every day (think Gmail, BigQuery, AlloyDB, Google Cloud Code and Google Cloud Assist). We make software frameworks to help you build with AI, like Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, JAX, …

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Rocket Is About to Crash Into the Moon—and It Could Be Visible From Earth
The impact will kick up a plume of debris so high, it’ll likely be visible through some telescopes. Astronomers will be watching.
The End-to-End Agentic AI Pipeline
In this article, you will learn the seven architectural components that separate a production-grade agentic AI system from a demo script, and how each one…
Dimensionality Reduction Meets Network Science: Sensemaking on UMAP’s kNN Graph
While UMAP is widely used for exploring high-dimensional data, typical workflows focus on its lower-dimensional embedding, largely overlooking the rich k-nearest-neighbor (kNN) graph that UMAP constructs internally. This graph encodes the data manifold in its original high-dimensional space, before the distortion that UMAP’s 2D projection introduces. We demonstrate the untapped potential of this internal representation, …

GenRec: Towards LLM-Native Recommendation at Netflix
Authors: Ying Li, Arjun Rao, Shradha Sehgal Introduction Recommendations sit at the heart of the Netflix experience. Our current production models rely on thousands of hand‑crafted features over users, items, and interactions, along with specialized architectures for sequence modeling, feature interactions, and multi‑task objectives. This stack has evolved over many years to support diverse content types …

Deploying Kimi K3 on AWS
Open weight models have become powerful enough to handle complex tasks such as multi-step agentic workflows, advanced reasoning, and long-horizon coding. However, as these models grow in capability, they also grow in size and hosting multi-trillion parameter architectures requires purpose-built infrastructure, high-end GPU compute, and optimized serving frameworks. On July 27, 2026, Moonshot AI released …
