Grok Says Its AI-Generated Version of ‘The Odyssey’ Is ‘Not Historically Accurate’
Months after Elon Musk declared that the xAI model would outclass Christopher Nolan’s mythological epic, the bot itself admitted defeat.
Tiny magnetic vortices could help computers work more like your brain
Scientists have filmed tiny magnetic vortices called skyrmions melting out of an organized lattice for the first time, revealing new ways to manipulate these unusual structures. The breakthrough could help make brain-like computers a reality, potentially enabling dramatically smaller and more energy-efficient technology.
AI framework cuts computing use by two-thirds while more than tripling success in virtual tasks
A research team led by professor Minhae Kwon of the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering has developed two core next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that enable AI systems to handle complex, long-horizon tasks more effectively while reducing computational costs and improving safety. The findings address key challenges that have hindered the commercialization of costly …
Scientists overcome a hidden obstacle to more powerful quantum computers
Scientists have discovered a way to operate multiple silicon qubits simultaneously with remarkable accuracy, overcoming a major challenge in scaling up quantum computers. Their new technique maintained accuracy of approximately 99.9% even when all five qubits were running at once, opening the door to larger and more powerful quantum processors.
Wallhack M-001 Review: When Fun Overrides Specs
With a tactile dongle for on-the-fly customization and a metal chassis, the Wallhack M-001 is the most fun I’ve had reviewing a gaming mouse in a long time.
The PHP Meltdown Shows How AI Makes Bugs More Exploitable
Security researchers used AI tools to help uncover years-old vulnerabilities in the PHP web scripting language. Then the AI-assisted attacks began.
Wearable system captures human activity data for robot training
Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a body shape that resembles that of humans, could tackle various chores and everyday manual tasks. To successfully complete these tasks, however, the robots should be able to reliably coordinate their movements, posture and how they touch or grasp different objects.
Speculative Decoding Explained: How to Get 3× Faster Inference from Any LLM
In this article, you will learn how speculative decoding works, why it produces real speed gains at the hardware level, and what modern implementations look…
Beyond API Compatibility: Building a Tool to Measure the Blast Radius of Library Changes
By Roberto Perez Alcolea, Java Platform Team Quasar connects a proposed API change with observed references in consumer repositories, giving the producer evidence for a release decision At Netflix, shared Java libraries support applications developed across a large, independently evolving repository ecosystem. A library change begins in one repository, but its impact can reach many others. Producers …

Multi-Turn Reinforcement Learning on Amazon SageMaker AI: A hands-on guide
Most fine-tuning teaches a model to produce a better answer to a single prompt. Agentic tasks are different. An agent that files an expense report or triages a support ticket takes a sequence of actions, and each step depends on what came before. There’s rarely one correct sequence to imitate, and the only reliable feedback …
