How to Read a Machine Learning Research Paper in 2026
When I first started reading machine learning research papers, I honestly thought something was wrong with me.
Veo 3.1 Ingredients to Video: More consistency, creativity and control
Our latest Veo update generates lively, dynamic clips that feel natural and engaging — and supports vertical video generation.
Securing Amazon Bedrock cross-Region inference: Geographic and global
The adoption and implementation of generative AI inference has increased with organizations building more operational workloads that use AI capabilities in production at scale. To help customers achieve the scale of their generative AI applications, Amazon Bedrock offers cross-Region inference (CRIS) profiles, a powerful feature organizations can use to seamlessly distribute inference processing across multiple …

A gRPC transport for the Model Context Protocol
AI agents are moving from test environments to the core of enterprise operations, where they must interact reliably with external tools and systems to execute complex, multi-step goals. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the standard that makes this agent to tool communication possible. In fact, just last month we announced the release of fully-managed, …
Salesforce rolls out new Slackbot AI agent as it battles Microsoft and Google in workplace AI
Salesforce on Tuesday launched an entirely rebuilt version of Slackbot, the company’s workplace assistant, transforming it from a simple notification tool into what executives describe as a fully powered AI agent capable of searching enterprise data, drafting documents, and taking action on behalf of employees. The new Slackbot, now generally available to Business+ and Enterprise+ …
The Fight on Capitol Hill to Make It Easier to Fix Your Car
As vehicles grow more software-dependent, repairing them has become harder than ever. A bill in the US House called the Repair Act would ease those restrictions, but it comes with caveats.
This AI spots dangerous blood cells doctors often miss
A generative AI system can now analyze blood cells with greater accuracy and confidence than human experts, detecting subtle signs of diseases like leukemia. It not only spots rare abnormalities but also recognizes its own uncertainty, making it a powerful support tool for clinicians.
AI ‘CHEF’ could help those with cognitive declines complete home tasks
In the United States, 11% of adults over age 45 self-report some cognitive decline, which may impact their ability to care for themselves and perform tasks such as cooking or paying bills. A team of Washington University in St. Louis researchers has integrated two novel vision-language models that create a potential artificial intelligence (AI) assistant …

10 Ways to Use Embeddings for Tabular ML Tasks
Embeddings — vector-based numerical representations of typically unstructured data like text — have been primarily popularized in the field of natural language processing (NLP).
Over-Searching in Search-Augmented Large Language Models
Search-augmented large language models (LLMs) excel at knowledge-intensive tasks by integrating external retrieval. However, they often over-search – unnecessarily invoking search tool even when it does not improve response quality, which leads to computational inefficiency and hallucinations by incorporating irrelevant context. In this work, we conduct a systematic evaluation of over-searching across multiple dimensions, including …
