Study of Buddhist Monks Finds Meditation Alters Brain Activity
Meditation isn’t thinking about nothing. New research reinforces that it’s a mind-altering, dynamic state that promotes focus, learning, and well-being.

A male fruit fly in a laboratory chamber extends his wings and vibrates them to produce his species’ version of a love song. A female fly stays nearby listening. Suddenly, a green light flashes across the chamber for a fraction of a second. The male’s song cuts off mid-note and his wings fold. The female, …

Imagine that you suddenly obtain a large collection of unclassified documents and are tasked with grouping them by topic.
Efficient large-scale inference of transformer-based large language models (LLMs) remains a fundamental systems challenge, frequently requiring multi-GPU parallelism to meet stringent latency and throughput targets. Conventional tensor parallelism decomposes matrix operations across devices but introduces substantial inter-GPU synchronization, leading to communication bottlenecks and degraded scalability. We propose the Parallel Track (PT) Transformer, a novel architectural …

Today’s reality is agentic – software that can reason, plan, and act on your behalf to execute complex workflows. To meet this moment, we are excited to open the Gemini Enterprise Agent Ready (GEAR) learning program to everyone. As a new specialized pathway within the Google Developer Program, GEAR empowers developers and pros to build …
The letter comes after Benioff joked at a company event on Monday that ICE was monitoring international employees in attendance, sparking immediate backlash.
Researchers at the University of Michigan have created an AI system that can interpret brain MRI scans in just seconds, accurately identifying a wide range of neurological conditions and determining which cases need urgent care. Trained on hundreds of thousands of real-world scans along with patient histories, the model achieved accuracy as high as 97.5% …
