NVIDIA Releases Kumo Tabular: Open Tabular Foundation Models That Predict New Rows in a Single Forward Pass

NVIDIA has released Kumo Tabular, a new family of tabular foundation models (TFMs) for classification and regression. If you have followed TabPFN or TabICL, the setup will look familiar. The model takes labeled rows as context and predicts new rows in one forward pass. There is no training, no hyperparameter tuning, and no feature engineering. […]

Perplexity Releases pplx-embed-v2-context-9b-preview: A Contextual Embedding Model That Retrieves Answers and Their Supporting Evidence

Perplexity Research and turbopuffer have released pplx-embed-v2-context-9b-preview, a contextual embedding model for RAG pipelines. Each chunk is embedded with the full document in view. The real change is the training signal. The model learns to retrieve the answer along with the context needed to verify it, not one ‘gold passage.’ P Is it deployable? Yes,

OpenAI Releases GPT-6.1 Sol: Near-Astra Coding and Computer Use at One-Fifth of Astra’s Token Price

This week, OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Sol. It upgrades GPT-6 Sol, the mid-tier model in the GPT-6 family. OpenAI’s claim is specific: near-Astra results on agentic coding, computer use, and professional work. The price is one-fifth of GPT-6 Astra’s standard input and output rates. Cached input drops to $0.10 per million tokens, 50% below GPT-6 Sol.

NVIDIA Researchers Introduce Physis-Lang: Self-Evolving Physical Language That Lifts Cosmos 3 Past Veo 3.1 on Physics Benchmarks

Video world models can render convincing clips that still break physics. Butter spreads like paint. Balls pass through walls. A team from NVIDIA, MIT and the University of Oxford argues the fix can come from language itself, not from extra visual, latent or numerical signals. Their framework, Physis-Lang, treats physical language as a shared, optimizable

One Bad Prompt Took Down a Company’s Salesforce: RSA’s Jim Taylor on Agent ID and Taming the 4,000 Shadow AI Agents Hiding in Your Enterprise

AI agents are moving into production faster than security teams can track them. They hold credentials, carry entitlements, and act on systems of record, yet most enterprises cannot say which agents are running, who owns them, or whether anyone can stop them. Gartner expects a typical Global Fortune 500 enterprise to run roughly 150,000 AI

Liquid AI Releases d1: A Decision Model That Returns Calibrated Probabilities With Zero Output Tokens

Liquid AI has released d1, a decision model built for structured choices instead of text generation. You give it context and a set of typed questions. It returns calibrated probabilities across a fixed set of outcomes in a single call, with zero generated tokens. The target is the work many teams still send to general

Nebius Opens 2026 Physical AI Awards: Five $150K Compute Credit Prizes

Once a physical AI product is in the field, the compute problem changes shape. Fleet data starts arriving faster than a team can label it, every retraining cycle has to be validated before it ships to hardware, and the sim-to-real loop stops being a research exercise and becomes a release process. That is the stage
