Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview: even better coding performance
We’ve seen developers doing amazing things with Gemini 2.5 Pro, so we decided to release an updated version a couple of weeks early to get into developers hands sooner.
Classifier-Free Guidance is a Predictor-Corrector
We investigate the theoretical foundations of classifier-free guidance (CFG). CFG is the dominant method of conditional sampling for text-to-image diffusion models, yet unlike other aspects of diffusion, it remains on shaky theoretical footing. In this paper, we disprove common misconceptions, by showing that CFG interacts differently with DDPM (Ho et al., 2020) and DDIM (Song …

Use custom metrics to evaluate your generative AI application with Amazon Bedrock
With Amazon Bedrock Evaluations, you can evaluate foundation models (FMs) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, whether hosted on Amazon Bedrock or another model or RAG system hosted elsewhere, including Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases or multi-cloud and on-premises deployments. We recently announced the general availability of the large language model (LLM)-as-a-judge technique in model evaluation …

AWS report: Generative AI overtakes security in global tech budgets for 2025
New AWS report reveals 45% of global IT leaders now prioritize generative AI over cybersecurity in 2025 tech budgets as companies race to hire AI talent and implement AI strategies despite persistent skills shortages.Read More
The Signal Clone Mike Waltz Was Caught Using Has Direct Access to User Chats
A new analysis of TM Signal’s source code appears to show that the app sends users’ message logs in plaintext. At least one top Trump administration official used the app.
Gender characteristics of service robots can influence customer decisions
While service robots with male characteristics can be more persuasive when interacting with some women who have a low sense of decision-making power, ‘cute’ design features — such as big eyes and raised cheeks — affect both men and women similarly, according to new research.
Hybrid AI model crafts smooth, high-quality videos in seconds
What would a behind-the-scenes look at a video generated by an artificial intelligence model be like? You might think the process is similar to stop-motion animation, where many images are created and stitched together, but that’s not quite the case for “diffusion models” like OpenAI’s SORA and Google’s VEO 2.
