The Recruitment Effort That Helped Build Elon Musk’s DOGE Army
At least three individuals associated with Palantir or its cofounder Peter Thiel were involved in an online recruiting effort for DOGE late last year, WIRED has learned.

The surge of AI in general — and large language models (LLMs) in particular — is thanks to numerous research groups and companies racing to develop their most advanced models and demonstrate their potential use cases across broad domains.
Time series forecasting helps predict future data using past information, useful in areas like finance, weather, and inventory.
As language models grow ever larger, so do their vocabularies. This has shifted the memory footprint of LLMs during training disproportionately to one single layer: the cross-entropy in the loss computation. Cross-entropy builds up a logit matrix with entries for each pair of input tokens and vocabulary items and, for small models, consumes an order …

Introduction Large language models present both massive opportunities and significant complexities for the insurance industry. Insurers can use AI to increase operational efficiency, improve the accuracy of underwriting decisions, enhance customer experience, and more effectively coordinate with partners. Yet in a heavily-regulated industry like insurance, ensuring objectivity and the appropriate level of human oversight in …

Data science teams often face challenges when transitioning models from the development environment to production. These include difficulties integrating data science team’s models into the IT team’s production environment, the need to retrofit data science code to meet enterprise security and governance standards, gaining access to production grade data, and maintaining repeatability and reproducibility in …
2025 is off to a racing start. From announcing strides in the new Gemini 2.0 model family to retailers accelerating with Cloud AI, we spent January investing in our partner ecosystem, open-source, and ways to make AI more useful. We’ve heard from people everywhere, from developers to CMOs, about the pressure to adapt the latest …

You just spent a lot of money on a new Samsung phone. Keep it safe with these cases and screen protectors.
Extraterrestrial landers sent to gather samples from the surface of distant moons and planets have limited time and battery power to complete their mission. Aerospace and computer science engineering researchers at The Grainger College of Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign trained a model to autonomously assess and scoop quickly, then watched it demonstrate its skill …
