3 Questions: Beyond data-driven aesthetics

“Beyond Data-Driven Aesthetics,” by MIT Architecture alumnus and researcher Alexandros Haridis, on view at the MIT Keller Gallery through June 30, examines 20th- and 21st-century efforts to transform computing into a medium for creative production and aesthetic judgment in architecture and the applied arts. Drawing on philosophy, mathematics, computer science, and design computation, the exhibition […]

OCRmyPDF Tutorial: Convert Scanned Documents into Searchable PDF/A Files with Sidecar Text Extraction and Batch Processing

In this tutorial, we build an advanced, self-contained OCRmyPDF workflow. We start by installing the required system and Python dependencies, then create a synthetic image-only PDF for scanning so we can test OCR without relying on external files. From there, we use OCRmyPDF’s real public API to convert scanned documents into searchable PDFs, generate PDF/A

Liquid AI Ships LFM2.5-230M with llama.cpp, MLX, vLLM, SGLang, and ONNX Support for On-Device Inference

Liquid AI shipped LFM2.5-230M, it’s the company’s smallest model to date. The release targets a specific job: running agentic tasks on phones, robots, and automation devices. Both the base and instruction-tuned checkpoints are open-weight on Hugging Face. The pitch is narrow on purpose. This is not a general reasoning model. It is built for data

LLMs help robots understand vague instructions and focus on key details

Imagine working at a warehouse or office sometime in the near future, and you’re asked to help a new trainee learn the basics of their job. The catch: It’s a robot. To teach them, you might want to play a game of “show and tell” — that is, physically showing how to do something a

Meet container: Apple’s Open-Source Swift Tool for Running Linux Containers as Lightweight VMs on Apple Silicon

Apple research team recently released the container project. It is an open-source command-line tool written in Swift. It creates and runs Linux containers as lightweight virtual machines on a Mac. The project ships under the Apache 2.0 license and targets Apple silicon. Containers are how you ship reproducible environments from a laptop to a datacenter.

DeepReinforce Releases Ornith-1.0: An Open-Source Coding Model Family That Learns Its Own RL Scaffolds

DeepReinforce has released Ornith-1.0, an open-source model family built for agentic coding. The lineup spans four sizes, from a 9B dense model to a 397B mixture-of-experts flagship. Every checkpoint ships under the MIT license on Hugging Face. The models are post-trained on top of pretrained Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5. Most coding agents pair a

Baidu Releases Unlimited OCR, a 3B Model That Keeps the KV Cache Flat for Long-Document Parsing

Most end-to-end OCR models slow down as output grows. Each generated token adds to the KV cache. Memory rises and generation drags. Parsing dozens of pages becomes impractical. Baidu’s Unlimited OCR addresses this directly. It swaps the decoder’s attention for a design that keeps memory constant. TL;DR Unlimited OCR is a 3B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model, with

Improving the speed and energy-efficiency of AI agents

Agentic workflows are artificial intelligence-powered software systems that chain together multiple models and external tools to tackle complicated tasks, like analyzing a video and answering questions about it.But the way these highly fragmented systems are designed and deployed often causes inefficiencies that can lead to wasted computation, energy, and cost. To improve efficiency, researchers from MIT

16 Best Generative AI Coding Tools in 2026 Compared: Features, and Best Fit

Generative AI has reshaped how software gets built. What began as line-by-line autocomplete now spans full application generation, multi-agent build pipelines, and natural-language interfaces to entire codebases. Large language models trained on code can read context, follow intent, and produce working frontends, backends, and infrastructure with little manual setup. For early-level AI engineers, software engineers,

DFlash Speculative Decoding Drafts Whole Token Blocks in Parallel for Up to 15x Higher Throughput on NVIDIA Blackwell

Autoregressive large language models generate text one token at a time. Each token waits for the one before it. This serial loop leaves modern GPUs underused and keeps inference slow. The cost grows worse with long Chain-of-Thought reasoning models. Their lengthy outputs make latency the dominant part of generation. Speculative decoding is the standard fix.
