Simulated proving ground trains and assesses AI for actively controlling fluid dynamics

A platform for training and comparing machine learning models to actively reduce drag, improve lift, cut noise and manage heat has been launched by an international team that includes researchers at the University of Washington, University of Michigan Engineering, RWTH Aachen University and the Technical University of Munich.

STARFlow2: Bridging Language Models and Normalizing Flows for Unified Multimodal Generation

Unified multimodal models that understand, reason over, and generate interleaved text–image sequences remain structurally fragmented: existing approaches either sacrifice visual fidelity through discrete tokenization, impose structural asymmetry by combining causal text generation with iterative diffusion-based denoising, or degrade pretrained understanding when adapting vision-language models for generation. We observe that autoregressive normalizing flows are autoregressive Transformers—sharing …

Agentic observability with Amazon OpenSearch Service MCP Apps

Observability agents are fast. They query alerts, correlate logs with traces, and produce a root cause hypothesis in minutes. The part that still takes time is verification. You read the agent’s text summary, open your observability tools in a browser, navigate to the trace waterfall, check the service map to scope impact, and cross-reference what …

Now introducing Gemini Enterprise for Legal

Few professions are as exacting as the practice of law. A team reviewing a contract or building a case works inside strictly privileged information, firm-specific playbooks, and a body of law that changes constantly. The work thrives on nuanced, professional judgment — and the systems supporting it inherit real obligations: ethical walls that cannot be …

Time saver while learning how to prompt Minimax.

Rather than relying on Z-image, or a different program to wrangle up a first frame, I’ve been using Minimax for the whole process, and the results have been pretty instructive. It’s not a perfect system, but being able to take advantage of its understanding of people, references, and shot composition for the first frame produces …
