GOOGLE, SCALE AI'S LARGEST CUSTOMER, PLANS SPLIT AFTER META DEAL

Meta's $14 billion acquisition of a 49% stake in Scale AI prompted Google to pull its planned $200 million contract for human-labeled training data over fears of exposing sensitive data to Meta. Microsoft, xAI, and OpenAI are also backing away from Scale AI over the same competitive concerns. The exodus benefits Scale's competitors, with Labelbox expecting "hundreds of millions" in new revenue as AI labs seek neutral data providers or move operations in-house.

HAVE LLMS FINALLY MASTERED GEOLOCATION?

Open-source intelligence researchers tested 20 AI models on 500 geolocation challenges using unpublished travel photos to ensure models couldn't rely on memorized training data. OpenAI's latest models outperformed Google Lens by cross-referencing architectural styles, vegetation patterns, and partially visible text, while competitors like Claude often managed only continent-level guesses. However, all models still hallucinated. "Deep research" modes paradoxically performed worse than standard versions.

NEW INSIGHTS FOR SCALING LAWS IN AUTONOMOUS DRIVING

Research from Waymo confirms that, similar to language modeling, increased data and compute resources can enhance the performance of autonomous vehicles. The finding has exciting implications for the development of autonomous vehicles as researchers and developers now know with certainty that enriching the quality and size of the data and models will deliver better performance. It opens up the possibility of devising more adaptive training strategies for planning tasks in robots.

THE AI EVAL FLYWHEEL: SCORERS, DATASETS, PRODUCTION USAGE, & RAPID ITERATION

There was a surprising consistency in the general eval frameworks discussed at the 2025 AI Engineer World's Fair. Most of them involved structuring inputs and how outputs are evaluated and evolving these inputs and evals based on real production usage. The more they can iterate, the better the experience they can deliver, so they try to make eval flywheels as quick and frictionless as possible. One of the key ideas is to have 'playgrounds' to make it easy to tweak a feature and run it against datasets and evals.

HOW ANTHROPIC BUILT THEIR DEEP RESEARCH SYSTEM

In this engineering blog post, Anthropic details its findings in prompt design, tool coordination, and production reliability challenges when orchestrating multi-agent systems. Its design uses an orchestrator-worker pattern where a lead agent spawns specialized sub-agents that search in parallel, far outperforming a single-agent Opus-based method. Token usage alone explains 80% of performance variance, with multi-agent systems consuming 15x more tokens than a regular chat but enabling much more complex research tasks.

SELF-ADAPTING LANGUAGE MODELS

A new training approach enables LLMs to generate "self-edits" that produce persistent weight updates through supervised fine-tuning. The framework outperformed GPT-4.1 despite using a smaller model, but suffered from catastrophic forgetting and required 15x more tokens than standard inference. This addresses the looming data wall and limitations on personalization and memory by enabling models to bootstrap their own improvement through self-generated training material rather than relying on external human-generated text.
