Thanksgiving can be daunting. Meal kit boxes from Sunbasket and Blue Apron offer the satisfaction of making a home-cooked feast with a lot less stress.

Robots that can sense and respond to the world like humans may soon be a reality as scientists have created an artificial neuron capable of mimicking different parts of the brain.

AI engineers often chase performance by scaling up LLM parameters and data, but the trend toward smaller, more efficient, and better-focused models has accelerated.  The Phi-4 fine-tuning methodology is the cleanest public example of a training approach that smaller enterprise teams can copy. It shows how a carefully chosen dataset and fine-tuning strategy can make …

In this episode of Uncanny Valley, we run through the top stories of the week and examine how some of the victories in the US November elections show the power of online fandom.

Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum conditions. Researchers identified how to tune these transitions and even discovered a bizarre “pinball” state where some electrons stay locked in place while others dart around freely. Their simulations help explain how these phases form and how …

Security researchers have developed the first functional defense mechanism capable of protecting against “cryptanalytic” attacks used to “steal” the model parameters that define how an AI system works.
