Google 2025 recap: Research breakthroughs of the year
Exploring the zero operator access design of Mantle
At Amazon, our culture, built on honest and transparent discussion of our growth opportunities, enables us to focus on investing and innovating to continually raise the standard on our ability to deliver value for our customers. Earlier this month, we had the opportunity to share an example of this process at work in Mantle, our …

The Best Unlimited Phone Plan: T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon Compared
We sifted through the fine print to figure out how to score the best deal on all the major carriers.
Lowering barriers to explainable AI: Control technique for LLMs reduces resource demands by over 90%
Large language models (LLMs) such as GPT and Llama are driving exceptional innovations in AI, but research aimed at improving their explainability and reliability is constrained by massive resource requirements for examining and adjusting their behavior.
Time-to-Move + Wan 2.2 Test
Made this using mickmumpitz’s ComfyUI workflow that lets you animate movement by manually shifting objects or images in the scene. I tested both my higher quality camera and my iPhone, and for this demo I chose the lower quality footage with imperfect lighting. That roughness made it feel more grounded, almost like the movement was …
Move Beyond Chain-of-Thought with Chain-of-Draft on Amazon Bedrock
As organizations scale their generative AI implementations, the critical challenge of balancing quality, cost, and latency becomes increasingly complex. With inference costs dominating 70–90% of large language model (LLM) operational expenses, and verbose prompting strategies inflating token volume by 3–5x, organizations are actively seeking more efficient approaches to model interaction. Traditional prompting methods, while effective, …

FDA Approves Pill Version of Wegovy
Novo Nordisk’s semaglutide will soon be available in a daily pill Americans can take for weight loss.
Feral AI gossip with the potential to spread damage and shame will become more frequent, researchers warn
“Feral” gossip spread via AI bots is likely to become more frequent and pervasive, causing reputational damage and shame, humiliation, anxiety, and distress, researchers have warned.
The Doomsday Glacier Is Getting Closer and Closer to Irreversible Collapse
An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the Thwaites Glacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be only a matter of time.
This AI finds simple rules where humans see only chaos
A new AI developed at Duke University can uncover simple, readable rules behind extremely complex systems. It studies how systems evolve over time and reduces thousands of variables into compact equations that still capture real behavior. The method works across physics, engineering, climate science, and biology. Researchers say it could help scientists understand systems where …
