Prior Labs Releases TabPFN-3.5: A Tabular Foundation Model That Beats the Winning Otto Kaggle Solution With Default Settings

Prior Labs has released TabPFN-3.5, the newest version of its tabular foundation model. It predicts on a table in a forward pass, with no per-dataset training or tuning. Prior Labs reports first place across 7 tabular benchmarks. A separate demonstration shows it beating the winning solution of a famous 2015 Kaggle competition. Deployable? Yes, with […]

Google Releases Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking for Production Grade Voice Agents

Google has introduced Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking, its most advanced live dialogue models to date. Both are native speech to speech models built for real time voice agents. They extend the Gemini Audio family that Google expanded last month with Gemini 3.5 Transcribe. The release targets a specific gap: voice

Meta Introduces ZGateway: A Stateless Proxy Tier That Unifies ZippyDB Traffic and Handles Over 1 Billion Operations Per Second

Meta engineering team introduced ZGateway, a proxy tier that now sits between client applications and ZippyDB, the Meta’s most widely used key value store. ZippyDB backs product metadata, counters, and configuration at billions of operations per second. ZGateway started as a fix for connection sprawl across more than a million client hosts and grew into

Agent-net Open Sources Webagent: A Go Harness That Turns Any Website into a Guarded AI Agent

Agent-net, the team building an agent-to-agent marketplace where AI agents discover, trust, and pay each other, has released Webagent, an open source harness for standing up public-facing business agents. So, basically you give it your website, get an agent, and let it talk to other agents. Instead of writing orchestration code, a business fills in

Sakana AI Researchers Introduce PC-ALM, a Layer-Local Alternative to Backpropagation That Trains 1000-Layer Networks

Backpropagation is a global algorithm: a forward pass, then a backward pass, then a weight update, each locked behind the previous one. Brains have no known mechanism for that kind of network-wide phase locking, which is why local-learning alternatives such as predictive coding (PC) keep drawing research interest. Sakana AI researchers propose Augmented Lagrangian Predictive

NVIDIA Open-Sources OSMO: One YAML Orchestrates Physical AI Training, Simulation, and Robot Testing

Robot developers do not have one compute problem. They have 3. A policy is trained on GB200 or H100 clusters, tested in Isaac Sim on RTX GPUs, then validated on a Jetson mounted inside a real robot. Each tier has its own cluster, its own scheduler, and its own glue scripts. NVIDIA OSMO is NVIDIA’s

Anthropic’s 3-Step ‘Pace the Frontier’ Plan Wins OpenAI, xAI and Microsoft Support: Is It Too Late to Slow AI Down?

On September 12, 2026, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a writeup ‘We Must Pace the Frontier’. Its core message is blunt: ‘We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models.’ Within hours, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and xAI’s Elon Musk endorsed it. The next day, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella welcomed ‘deliberate

A Princeton Researcher Proposes Recurrent Looped Transformer (RLT) that Carries Decoder State across Every Token, Fixing 96 Blocks per Token with Unbounded Temporal Depth

In most decoder-only LLMs, nothing computed at the last layer of token t feeds the first layer of token t+1; positions communicate only through attention over cached keys and values. A Princeton researcher’s (Yifan Zhang) technical report, Recurrent Looped Transformer (RLT), proposes closing that loop. The decoder’s final hidden state and its layerwise sliding-window attention

AWS Introduces Pizza Bot: An Open Source Inbox for Background AI Agents

AWS introduced Pizza Bot, as a self-hosted application for AI tasks that continue while users work elsewhere. It organizes completed results and pending decisions into an email-style inbox. Earlier versions served more than 2,000 people inside Amazon, supporting meeting preparation, email drafting, Slack summaries, CRM logging, and research. The public application was rebuilt as an
