Everyone can now fly their own drone.
TL;DR Using Google’s new Veo 3.1 video model, we created a breathtaking 1 minute 40 second FPV drone flight through mountain valleys, and it took just 15 minutes to generate. Imagine soaring through alpine valleys, gliding between snowy peaks, and diving toward rivers that twist like silver ribbons below, all without leaving your desk. That’s …
CAR-Flow: Condition-Aware Reparameterization Aligns Source and Target for Better Flow Matching
Conditional generative modeling aims to learn a conditional data distribution from samples containing data-condition pairs. For this, diffusion and flow-based methods have attained compelling results. These methods use a learned (flow) model to transport an initial standard Gaussian noise that ignores the condition to the conditional data distribution. The model is hence required to learn …
Announcing BigQuery-managed AI functions for better SQL
For decades, SQL has been the universal language for data analysis, offering access to analytics on structured data. Large Language Models (LLMs) like Gemini now provide a path to get nuanced insights from unstructured data such as text, image and video. However, integrating LLMs into standard SQL flow requires data movement, at least some prompt …

Weibo’s new open source AI model VibeThinker-1.5B outperforms DeepSeek-R1 on $7,800 post-training budget
Another day in late 2025, another impressive result from a Chinese company in open source artificial intelligence. Chinese social networking company Weibo’s AI division recently released its open source VibeThinker-1.5B—a 1.5 billion parameter large language model (LLM) that is a fine-tuned variant of rival Chinese tech firm Alibaba’s Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B. It’s available now for free download …
DHS Kept Chicago Police Records for Months in Violation of Domestic Espionage Rules
The Department of Homeland Security collected data on Chicago residents accused of gang ties to test if police files could feed an FBI watchlist. Months passed before anyone noticed it wasn’t deleted.
When AI draws our words: Study finds image generators fail basic instructions despite aesthetic success
Can we really trust artificial intelligence to illustrate our ideas? A team of scientists has examined the capabilities of Midjourney and DALL·E—two Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) software programs—to produce images from simple sentences. The verdict is mixed… between aesthetic feats and beginner’s mistakes, machines still have a long way to go.

Expert-Level Feature Engineering: Advanced Techniques for High-Stakes Models
Building machine learning models in high-stakes contexts like finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure often demands robustness, explainability, and other domain-specific constraints.
Introducing agent-to-agent protocol support in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime
We recently announced the support for Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime. With this addition, agents can discover peers, share capabilities, and coordinate actions across platforms using standardized communication. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime provides a secure, serverless environment designed for deploying AI agents and tools. It works with any framework and model, supports …
