Education is at a crossroads, argues the author and academic. Should we embrace new technology in the name of efficiency, or is it time to fight back?If you set out to design from scratch a tool to facilitate authoritarian rule, it would look exactly like AI. You would cherish it for its ability to destabilise […]

Mistral AI has released Shieldstral 1.0 3B, an open-weights, policy-adaptive multimodal safety classifier that treats content moderation as a single yes/no question rather than a fixed taxonomy of harm categories. Most guardrail models bake their category list into the weights, so re-targeting one to a new deployment context means retraining — and the same content
Tencent Cloud has open-sourced TencentDB Agent Memory v2.0, a team-level memory hub for AI agents. The idea is super simple: if project context was already explained once, a new session should not need it repeated. The system turns conversations, documents and code into four reusable memory assets — Chat Memory, Skill, LLM-Wiki and Code-Graph —
In this tutorial, we build an advanced multimodal retrieval-augmented generation pipeline with NVIDIA NeMo Retriever. We begin by configuring a Python 3.12 environment, installing the required packages, and performing offline PDF text extraction without relying on a GPU or external API key. We then extend the workflow with hosted NVIDIA NIM endpoints to detect page
NVIDIA Labs has open-sourced NOOA (NVIDIA Object-Oriented Agents), a model-agnostic Python framework for building AI agents. Agent development today is split across prompt templates, tool schemas, callback code, and workflow graphs. NOOA collapses all of it into one Python class. Methods are the actions the model can take. Fields are agent state. Docstrings are prompts.
Responding to an article by China’s ambassador to the UK, Prof Paul H Cleverley advocates shared openness standards, while Dr Claire Jenkins says British AI can offer a distinctive pathAmbassador Zheng Zeguang rightly celebrates openly released AI models, and the Chinese labs behind Qwen, DeepSeek and Kimi have led the way – competition that benefits

A Trump administration framework on AI testing leaves a lack of transparency – and plenty of open questionsAfter months of talking with tech industry leaders, the Trump administration finalized a framework this week for how it will test new artificial intelligence models for safety and cybersecurity risks. So far, the White House is keeping details
