Liquid AI Is Redesigning the Neural Network
Inspired by microscopic worms, Liquid AI’s founders developed a more adaptive, less energy-hungry kind of neural network. Now the MIT spin-off is revealing several new ultraefficient models.
Listening skills bring human-like touch to robots
Researchers give robots a sense of touch by ‘listening’ to vibrations, allowing them to identify materials, understand shapes and recognize objects just like human hands. The ability to interpret the world through acoustic vibrations emanating from an object — like shaking a cup to see how much soda is left or tapping on a desk …

New tool makes songs unlearnable to generative AI
Nearly 200 years after Beethoven’s death, a team of musicians and computer scientists created a generative artificial intelligence (AI) that completed his Tenth Symphony so convincingly that music scholars could not differentiate the music originating from the AI or from the composer’s handwritten notes.

Multimodal and reasoning LLMs supersize training data for dexterous robotic tasks
For robots, simulation is a great teacher for learning long-horizon (multi-step) tasks—especially compared to how long it takes to collect real-world training data.
A Lawsuit Against Perplexity Calls Out Fake News Hallucinations
In a new copyright lawsuit against AI startup Perplexity, Dow Jones and the New York Post argue that hallucinating fake news and attributing it to real papers is illegal.
User-friendly system makes it easier to verify an AI model’s responses
Despite their impressive capabilities, large language models are far from perfect. These artificial intelligence models sometimes “hallucinate” by generating incorrect or unsupported information in response to a query.
The AI edge in cybersecurity: Predictive tools aim to slash response times
AI’s ability to sift through massive amounts of data, identify patterns and constantly learn makes it invaluable in cybersecurity.Read More
GoPro Hero 13 Black Review: Interchangeable Lenses and Magnetic Mounting
The company’s latest action camera finally adds magnetic mounting and interchangeable lenses, but the processor and sensor haven’t changed in years.
Meta Introduces Spirit LM open source model that combines text and speech inputs/outputs
