Nous Research Releases Contrastive Neuron Attribution (CNA): Sparse MLP Circuit Steering Without SAE Training or Weight Modification

Instruction-tuned language models refuse harmful requests. But which part of the model is actually responsible — and how does that mechanism get installed during training? A new research from Nous Research team takes a neuron-level look at this question. The Nous research team developed contrastive neuron attribution (CNA), a method that identifies the specific MLP […]

Perplexity Open-Sources Bumblebee: A Read-Only Supply-Chain Scanner for Developer Endpoints

Attackers increasingly target the packages, editor extensions, and AI tool configs on developer machines and not just production systems. Perplexity has open-sourced an internal tool it uses to address this problem. Perplexity released Bumblebee on GitHub. The tool is a read-only inventory collector for macOS and Linux developer endpoints. It is written entirely in Go

Microsoft Releases Fara1.5: A Family of Browser Computer-Use Agents (4B/9B/27B) That Outperform OpenAI Operator and Gemini 2.5 Computer Use on Online-Mind2Web

Microsoft Research’s AI Frontiers lab released Fara1.5. It is a family of computer-use agent (CUA) models for the browser. The release ships three sizes: Fara1.5-4B, Fara1.5-9B, and Fara1.5-27B. The models are integrated with MagenticLite, Microsoft’s sandboxed browser interface for these agents. Computer-use agents are pixel-to-action models that drive a real browser. They read screenshots and

Qwen Introduces Qwen3.7-Max: A Reasoning Agent Model With a 1M-Token Context Window

Most AI models today are not designed for sustained, multi-step autonomous execution. Tasks like running hundreds of iterative code modifications, or chaining tool calls across hours without human intervention, require a different kind of model architecture and training focus. Alibaba’s Qwen team formally announced Qwen3.7-Max at the 2026 Alibaba Cloud Summit on May 20. Although,

What is a Forward Deployed Engineer: The AI Role OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Are Hiring in 2026

What is a Forward Deployed Engineer? The term ‘Forward Deployed Engineer’ (FDE) sounds military. That is intentional. A Forward Deployed Engineer is a software engineer who works embedded with the customer’s technical and operational environment on-site, hybrid, remote, or inside a customer cloud or VPC, depending on the engagement. The FDE does not sit at

Meet Turbovec: A Rust Vector Index with Python Bindings, and Built on Google’s TurboQuant Algorithm

Vector search underpins most retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines. At scale, it gets expensive. Storing 10 million document embeddings in float32 consumes 31 GB of RAM. For dev teams running local or on-premise inference, that number creates real constraints. A new open-source library called turbovec addresses this directly. It is a vector index written in Rust

NVIDIA AI Releases Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion: A Tri-Mode Language Model with 6× Tokens Per Forward Over Qwen3-8B

NVIDIA researchers have released Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion, a language model family that unifies three decoding modes in one architecture. The model supports autoregressive (AR) decoding, diffusion-based parallel decoding, and self-speculation decoding. It is available in 3B, 8B, and 14B parameter sizes. The family includes base, instruct, and vision-language variants. Sequential Decoding Limits Throughput Standard autoregressive (AR) language

Alibaba Qwen Team Introduces Qwen3.5-LiveTranslate-Flash: Real-Time Multimodal Interpretation Across 60 Languages at 2.8-Second Latency

Simultaneous interpretation is one of the harder problems in applied AI. You’re asking a model to translate speech before the speaker has finished a sentence. Every extra second of delay breaks the illusion of real-time communication. Alibaba’s Qwen team has been chipping away at this with each release. Their latest model, Qwen3.5-LiveTranslate-Flash, brings that latency

Google Introduces Gemini 3.5 Flash at I/O 2026: A Faster and Cheaper Model for AI Agents and Coding

Google just released Gemini 3.5 Flash at Google I/O May, 2026. It is the first Gemini 3.5 model. The series combines frontier intelligence with action. Google calls it a major leap for intelligent agents. The Flash tier has historically been faster and cheaper. 3.5 Flash outperforms Gemini 3.1 Pro on challenging benchmarks. The previous premium
