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 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.

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 …

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 …

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 …

It’s a boring tool, but you need one. Here are the best home printers we have tested, from ink tank to lasers.

The V-JEPA system uses ordinary videos to understand the physics of the real world.

Three years ago, ChatGPT was born. It amazed the world and ignited unprecedented investment and excitement in AI. Today, ChatGPT is still a toddler, but public sentiment around the AI boom has turned sharply negative. The shift began when OpenAI released GPT-5 this summer to mixed reviews, mostly from casual users who, unsurprisingly, judged the …

In this episode of Uncanny Valley, we bring you the news of the week, then dive into how some DOGE operatives are still at work in the federal government—despite reports claiming otherwise.

OpenAI researchers have introduced a novel method that acts as a “truth serum” for large language models (LLMs), compelling them to self-report their own misbehavior, hallucinations and policy violations. This technique, “confessions,” addresses a growing concern in enterprise AI: Models can be dishonest, overstating their confidence or covering up the shortcuts they take to arrive …
