OpenAI built an AI coding agent and uses it to improve the agent itself

With the popularity of AI coding tools rising among some software developers, their adoption has begun to touch every aspect of the process, including human developers using the tools to improve existing AI coding tools. We’re not talking about runaway self-improvement here; just people using tools to improve the tools themselves. In interviews with Ars

Enabling small language models to solve complex reasoning tasks

As language models (LMs) improve at tasks like image generation, trivia questions, and simple math, you might think that human-like reasoning is around the corner. In reality, they still trail us by a wide margin on complex tasks. Try playing Sudoku with one, for instance, where you fill in numbers one through nine in such

New method improves the reliability of statistical estimations

Let’s say an environmental scientist is studying whether exposure to air pollution is associated with lower birth weights in a particular county.They might train a machine-learning model to estimate the magnitude of this association, since machine-learning methods are especially good at learning complex relationships.Standard machine-learning methods excel at making predictions and sometimes provide uncertainties, like

OpenAI releases GPT-5.2 after “code red” Google threat alert

On Thursday, OpenAI released GPT-5.2, its newest family of AI models for ChatGPT, in three versions called Instant, Thinking, and Pro. The release follows CEO Sam Altman’s internal “code red” memo earlier this month, which directed company resources toward improving ChatGPT in response to competitive pressure from Google’s Gemini 3 AI model. “We designed 5.2

What Is Sociophonetics and Why It Matters for AI

You’ve probably had this experience: a voice assistant understands your friend perfectly, but struggles with your accent, or with your parents’ way of speaking. Same language. Same request. Very different results. That gap is exactly where sociophonetics lives — and why it suddenly matters so much for AI. Sociophonetics looks at how social factors and

Interview: From CUDA to Tile-Based Programming: NVIDIA’s Stephen Jones on Building the Future of AI

As AI models grow in complexity and hardware evolves to meet the demand, the software layer connecting the two must also adapt. We recently sat down with Stephen Jones, a Distinguished Engineer at NVIDIA and one of the original architects of CUDA. Jones, whose background spans from fluid mechanics to aerospace engineering, offered deep insights

From Transformers to Associative Memory, How Titans and MIRAS Rethink Long Context Modeling

What comes after Transformers? Google Research is proposing a new way to give sequence models usable long term memory with Titans and MIRAS, while keeping training parallel and inference close to linear. Titans is a concrete architecture that adds a deep neural memory to a Transformer style backbone. MIRAS is a general framework that views

Cisco Released Cisco Time Series Model: Their First Open-Weights Foundation Model based on Decoder-only Transformer Architecture

Cisco and Splunk have introduced the Cisco Time Series Model, a univariate zero shot time series foundation model designed for observability and security metrics. It is released as an open weight checkpoint on Hugging Face under an Apache 2.0 license, and it targets forecasting workloads without task specific fine tuning. The model extends TimesFM 2.0

Kernel Principal Component Analysis (PCA): Explained with an Example

Dimensionality reduction techniques like PCA work wonderfully when datasets are linearly separable—but they break down the moment nonlinear patterns appear. That’s exactly what happens with datasets such as two moons: PCA flattens the structure and mixes the classes together.  Kernel PCA fixes this limitation by mapping the data into a higher-dimensional feature space where nonlinear

Apple Researchers Release CLaRa: A Continuous Latent Reasoning Framework for Compression‑Native RAG with 16x–128x Semantic Document Compression

How do you keep RAG systems accurate and efficient when every query tries to stuff thousands of tokens into the context window and the retriever and generator are still optimized as 2 separate, disconnected systems? A team of researchers from Apple and University of Edinburgh released CLaRa, Continuous Latent Reasoning, (CLaRa-7B-Base, CLaRa-7B-Instruct and CLaRa-7B-E2E) a
