Meet Biomni—an AI-powered biomedical co-scientist
In creating a comprehensive, AI-enabled research agent for the biomedical sciences, Stanford University researchers hope to speed innovation by eliminating the tedium of scientific legwork. Biomni, an AI-powered, multiskilled biomedical research agent, is no mere chatbot. It is a full-fledged “co-scientist” capable of designing and developing complex research workflows, said Jure Leskovec, the Alfred and …

Introducing Claude apps gateway for AWS
Enterprises deploying Claude Code and Claude Desktop across development teams need centralized control over access, cost, and policy. At scale, this is hard to manage: each developer needs an individual credential, settings must be distributed manually, and spend is difficult to track or cap. Without a centralized control point, governance is left to whatever tooling …

AI memory bottleneck may ease as ultrathin chip stacks quadruple high-bandwidth memory density
A Korean research team has developed a technology that enables the stable stacking of more than 10 ultrathin semiconductor chips, each only one-fifth the thickness of a human hair. A research team successfully achieved an integration density approximately four times higher than that of commercial high-bandwidth memory (HBM) through a novel process that simultaneously transfers …

Intelligence is Free, Now What? Data Systems for, of, and by Agents
… government of the people, by the people, for the people … — Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address (1863) The cost of AI is dropping rapidly. GPT-4-class capabilities cost roughly $30 per million tokens in early 2023; today the same runs under $1, and some providers are pushing costs below $0.10. Across benchmarks, inference prices have …

Taming Text-to-Sounding Video Generation via Advanced Modality Condition and Interaction
This study focuses on Text-to-Sounding-Video (T2SV) generation, which aims to generate a video with synchronized audio from text, with both modalities aligned to the text conditions. Despite progress in joint audio-video training, two critical challenges remain: (1) text conditioning is a bottleneck—shared captions (TV=TA) trigger modal interference, while a gap persists between dense training captions …

Enrich your datasets with business context: Migrating from legacy Topics to semantic datasets in Amazon Quick
If you’ve been managing Amazon Quick legacy Topics alongside your datasets, you know the challenge: two assets that must stay perfectly synchronized, each with its own permissions, lineage, and versioning. Column synonyms drift. Calculated fields diverge. A rename in the dataset breaks the Legacy Topic silently. You can now use Amazon Quick to embed that …
