OpenAI Rolls Back ChatGPT’s Model Router System for Most Users
As OpenAI scrambles to improve ChatGPT, it’s ditching a feature in its free tier that contributed to last summer’s user revolt.
New 3D benchmark leaves AI in knots
Today’s artificial intelligence models can’t even tie their own shoes.
The AI that scored 95% — until consultants learned it was AI
Presented by SAP When SAP ran a quiet internal experiment to gauge consultant attitudes toward AI, the results were striking. Five teams were asked to validate answers to more than 1,000 business requirements completed by SAP’s AI co-pilot, Joule for Consultants — a workload that would normally take several weeks. Four teams were told the …

Silicon Valley Is All About the Hard Sell These Days
Sam Altman’s appearance on The Tonight Show is part of a larger charm offensive currently being waged by the tech establishment.
AI headphones automatically learn who you’re talking to—and let you hear them better
Holding a conversation in a crowded room often leads to the frustrating “cocktail party problem,” or the challenge of separating the voices of conversation partners from a hubbub. It’s a mentally taxing situation that can be exacerbated by hearing impairment.
Z.ai debuts open source GLM-4.6V, a native tool-calling vision model for multimodal reasoning
Chinese AI startup Zhipu AI aka Z.ai has released its GLM-4.6V series, a new generation of open-source vision-language models (VLMs) optimized for multimodal reasoning, frontend automation, and high-efficiency deployment. The release includes two models in “large” and “small” sizes: GLM-4.6V (106B), a larger 106-billion parameter model aimed at cloud-scale inference GLM-4.6V-Flash (9B), a smaller model …
The Military Almost Got the Right to Repair. Lawmakers Just Took It Away
The final language of the annual bill that funds the US military is in. It removes provisions that would have helped ensure service members’ ability to fix their own equipment.
This tiny implant sends secret messages to the brain
Researchers have built a fully implantable device that sends light-based messages directly to the brain. Mice learned to interpret these artificial patterns as meaningful signals, even without touch, sight, or sound. The system uses up to 64 micro-LEDs to create complex neural patterns that resemble natural sensory activity. It could pave the way for next-generation …

Speech-to-reality system creates objects on demand using AI and robotics
Generative AI and robotics are moving us ever closer to the day when we can ask for an object and have it created within a few minutes. In fact, MIT researchers have developed a speech-to-reality system, an AI-driven workflow that allows them to provide input to a robotic arm and “speak objects into existence,” creating …

Why AI coding agents aren’t production-ready: Brittle context windows, broken refactors, missing operational awareness
Remember this Quora comment (which also became a meme)? (Source: Quora) In the pre-large language model (LLM) Stack Overflow era, the challenge was discerning which code snippets to adopt and adapt effectively. Now, while generating code has become trivially easy, the more profound challenge lies in reliably identifying and integrating high-quality, enterprise-grade code into production …
