Nebius Opens 2026 Physical AI Awards: Five $150K Compute Prizes, Nine Judges, and an October 25 Deadline

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 […]

Google Research Open-Sources RRSI: AI Agents That Improve Their Own Harness Without Overfitting

Google Cloud AI Research, with UNC-Chapel Hill, Stanford and Washington University in St. Louis, has released RRSI (Regularized Recursive Self-Improvement). It lets an LLM agent rewrite its own harness: prompts, tools, memory, control flow and sub-agents. Model weights never change. RRSI constrains the improvement loop itself, so gains hold on benchmarks the agent never optimized
