New AI technique could make minimally invasive surgeries safer and more precise

Researchers created a new technique that accurately and rapidly matches X-rays captured during surgery with a patient’s preoperative 3D medical scan. This method could make it easier for clinicians to precisely pilot minimally invasive surgical tools, leading to faster and safer procedures.Clinicians perform many minimally invasive surgeries using real-time X-rays to help them steer devices […]

Google DeepMind Releases AlphaGenome Atlas With Precomputed Molecular Effect Predictions and AVI Scores for 9 Billion Human DNA Variants

Google DeepMind has released AlphaGenome Atlas, a catalogue of precomputed predictions for the molecular effects of every possible single-nucleotide variant in the human genome. That is roughly 9 billion single-letter changes. The release also introduces the AlphaGenome Variant Impact (AVI) score, a single number that ranks variants by predicted impact, plus per-variant feature attributions and

Reducto Releases r-1: A Single Pass Document Parsing Model That Cuts Errors 20% at 1 Cent Per Page

Last week, Reducto announced r-1. It is the first model in a new parsing family built on a rewritten architecture, and it replaces the company’s multi stage agentic OCR with one full page pass. Reducto says r-1 is more accurate than its most powerful legacy agentic models, faster, and up to 6x cheaper. Is it

Google DeepMind’s WeatherNext 3 Trains on Weather Station Observations to Deliver 5 km Global Forecasts, Refreshed Every Hour

AI weather models have spent three years closing the gap with physics-based forecasting, but two problems stayed open: resolution too coarse for local terrain, and initialization tied to numerical weather prediction (NWP) analysis that arrives about six hours late. WeatherNext 3, released by Google DeepMind and Google Research, attacks both. It takes a live global

Motional and MIT AI explains self-driving car decisions

Motional and MIT researchers have built a system that lets self-driving cars explain their decisions in real-time, tackling the black-box problem in autonomous vehicle AI. The work, published in Nature, comes from a team at Motional that includes CEO Laura Major, working alongside researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Their proposed method,

Hugging Face Unveils Microduck: A $399 Open-Source 25 cm Biped You Train with Reinforcement Learning

Most robotics launches ask you to trust a demo video. Pollen Robotics, the Bordeaux robotics team at Hugging Face, is instead shipping the training loop. This week it opened pre-orders for Microduck, a 25 cm bipedal robot in which every movement — walking, sitting, kicking, roller-skating, standing back up after a fall — is a

Cohere Releases Parse 5 (parse-v5.0): A 2.3B Vision Language Model That Turns Enterprise Documents Into Markdown

Cohere has released Parse (parse-v5.0), a document parsing model aimed at high-volume enterprise ingestion. It is a 2.3B-parameter vision language model with an 8,192-token context window and a ~4.6GB footprint, built on Cohere Labs’ North-Micro-Vision-Instruct architecture. Parse takes a PDF, PPT or JPEG page as a base64-encoded data URI and returns Markdown containing text in
