Powerful AI tools are so readily available today that it's tempting to jump right in. But in the enterprise gaining consensus and momentum will help keep your AI initiative going, even after initial enthusiasm wanes.
Perplexity Max offers unlimited access to Labs, a report-generating tool, and early access to Comet, its forthcoming AI-powered browser.
OpenAI will rent 4.5 gigawatts of data center power from Oracle across multiple US states - enough electricity to power millions of homes - as part of a $30 billion cloud deal as part of the $500 billion Stargate initiative.
Google's latest video-generating model, Veo 3, could potentially be used for video games. World models are different from video-generation models - video-generation models synthesize realistic video sequences while world models simulate the dynamics of real-world environments. Veo 3 isn't quite a world model yet, but it could be used for cinematic storytelling and narrative prototyping. Google has plans to turn its multimodal foundation model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, into a world model.
Epoch AI tracked 201 models exceeding 10²³ FLOPs in 2024, up from just two in 2017, with training costs for the largest models now reaching tens of millions of dollars at the 10²⁵ FLOP threshold first crossed by GPT-4.
FutureHouse researchers detail the months-long battle against their chemistry reasoning model, ether0, which kept finding creative ways to game their reward systems—from proposing reactions that just "add water and call it a reaction" to generating explosive peroxide chains. Their iterative fixes using bloom filters and structure alerts reveal why domain expertise, not just ML engineering, has become critical for training reasoning models.

Delve ran 4 ads across 2 TLDR newsletters and brought in 66 leads, with a meaningful chunk from enterprise. The result: $1M in attributed pipeline and a 52x ROI.
PyTorch engineers reduced checkpoint sizes by 22% using a modular compression approach in Distributed Checkpointing (DCP). This post outlines practical integration steps and design choices to streamline storage and bandwidth during distributed training.
Gemini 2.5 models advance robotics with enhanced coding, reasoning, and multimodal capabilities rooted in spatial understanding. Developers can use Gemini 2.5 for complex scene queries, robot control through spatial reasoning, and interactive applications using the Live API for real-time voice commands. Trusted testers like Boston Dynamics showcase its potential in robotics.
A new predictor combines GNNs and transformers with a sibling-aware token mixer and a bidirectional graph isomorphism feed-forward network to better model DAG-based neural architectures.
Extending causal graph learning techniques to regression tasks, this work adapts intervention strategies via contrastive learning to better handle confounders in graph-level regression.
Microsoft AI's Diagnostic Orchestrator beats expert physicians by diagnosing 85% of New England Journal of Medicine cases four times more accurately. It achieved this faster and more cost-effectively through sequential diagnosis, mimicking real-world clinical decision-making. This advancement is supported by Microsoft AI's new Sequential Diagnosis Benchmark, which transforms complex medical cases into interactive diagnostic challenges.
OpenAI's request to overturn a court order requiring it to retain all ChatGPT logs 'indefinitely' has been denied. The company's user agreement specifies that its data can be retained as part of legal processes. OpenAI plans to keep fighting the order, but it seems to have few options left. In the meantime, it is negotiating a process that will allow news plaintiffs to search through the retained data.

Google promoted "AI Mode" via its homepage Doodle, exposing users to its latest AI search product.
Humanoid robots competed in an AI-powered three-a-side football match in China, highlighting the challenges they face in agility and coordination.
OpenAI clarified it's only doing early testing with Google's TPUs with no plans to deploy them at scale, contradicting reports from two days earlier that suggested the ChatGPT maker was turning to its competitor's AI chips to meet growing demand.
OpenAI distanced itself from Robinhood's new tokenized share offering, stating "these 'OpenAI tokens' are not OpenAI equity" and that it didn't partner with or approve any equity transfer.
