Stripe has agreed to acquire OpenRouter, an AI model-routing platform that gives developers access to hundreds of models through a single interface. The deal adds model selection and routing to Stripe’s existing work around AI usage and token-based billing. OpenRouter supports more than 400 models from over 80 providers, according to Stripe. Rather than requiring

Samsung Research America’s Digital Health Team has presented two AI foundation models designed to learn from wearable biosignals. The work centres on data captured by smartwatches, including heart activity, sleep, and physical activity. The company discussed its Connected Care vision at the Health Forum during Galaxy Unpacked in July 2026. Samsung described a future of

Okta says identity-scoped Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool lists can reduce AI agent token costs. Each model call made by an AI agent can include schemas, names, descriptions and parameters for every tool exposed by a MCP server. Okta calls the resulting prompt overhead the “tool tax”: tokens consumed as a model considers tools, including

Meta is releasing Muse Glimmer under an Apache 2.0 licence for local AI agents that can run on a consumer GPU. The company’s Superintelligence Labs has released the 30-billion-parameter model’s weights on Hugging Face. Meta says developers can use it for local coding, function calling, local agents, and LLM-as-a-judge evaluation. The release targets an operational

Physics AI can now explore thousands of design variations in the time it would take a traditional simulation to chew through a handful of them. Precisely up to 1,000 times faster, according to Siemens. What it cannot do is sign off a safety-critical part. On that, the technology has a firm limit, and Sam Mahalingam,

Alibaba has launched Qwen3.8-Max, its largest AI model to date, as DeepSeek’s latest V4-Flash model draws attention for inference pricing that is lower than several competing systems. Qwen3.8-Max has 2.4 trillion parameters and uses a mixture-of-experts architecture, which activates only part of the model for each request. Alibaba said around 95 billion parameters are active

Two dozen companies and organisations signed an open letter urging US policymakers to protect open-weight AI models. The letter, published today (PDF), carries signatures from a list that spans direct commercial rivals and organisations with little obvious overlap in business model: Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, IBM, Dell Technologies, CrowdStrike, Palantir, ServiceNow, Hugging Face, Perplexity, Mistral, Andreessen
Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, IBM, and others back open-weight AI Read More »
Nvidia’s new Medical Physics Simulation framework treats healthcare robots as physical AI systems that need embodied experience to learn, not just code. Physical AI is the term Nvidia and much of the robotics industry now use to describe machines that have to learn how the world behaves through contact, force, and consequence, rather than through
Nvidia bets physical AI can solve healthcare robotics’ data problem Read More »
AMD has agreed to invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic under an infrastructure agreement covering tens of billions of dollars’ worth of AI systems. Anthropic will deploy up to two gigawatts of capacity using AMD’s Instinct MI450-series accelerators, with deployment of the first gigawatt beginning in the first half of 2027. AMD’s investment will

SenseTime has launched the Galaxy Project, teaming with nearly 20 partners to scale domestic AI chip infrastructure in China. In a keynote titled ‘Intelligent Transformation and Symbiosis,’ Yang Fan – the company’s co-founder and president of its Large Device Business Group – laid out what SenseTime describes as a closed loop connecting chip-level technology, ecosystem
