The backlash to what some dub ‘pervert glasses’ is growing – but people living with disabilities point out the new tech can also be life-changingGet our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcastOne summer day earlier this year, Rhys left a cafe in Melbourne where he had been working remotely, when his phone […]
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

Critics decry proposed hyperscale projects, fearing overuse of water and electricity, and ‘appropriating rural, Black-owned land for industrial purposes’There seems to be a fight over datacenters in nearly every city in the US right now. And amid the extreme polarization of today’s politics, the opposition tends to be bipartisan.“I would say it’s kind of the

Microsoft has open sourced code-testing-generator, a polyglot agent that writes unit tests and then proves they work. It ships in the dotnet-test plugin inside the MIT-licensed dotnet/skills repository. The agent targets a gap that coding assistants usually leave open. A prompt like ‘generate unit tests’ does not say which framework, file location or assertions to
What might a modern day equivalent of Isaac Asimov’s laws of robotics look like? Guided by the author, I propose the three laws of AITesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk predicted in July that legions of AI-powered robots would dominate the physical world and that AI might not take orders from people any more. He
Liquid AI released LFM2.5-2.6B, an agentic model that runs entirely on-device. It plans, calls tools, and works through multi-step tasks on phones, laptops, PCs, and robots. The model has 2.69B total parameters, a 131,072-token context window, and a 128,000-token vocabulary. Pre-training used approximately 34 trillion tokens. Two checkpoints shipped: LFM2.5-2.6B-Base for fine-tuning, and LFM2.5-2.6B post-trained
Ruling comes as part of second phase of landmark trial that found social media company enabled harm against usersA New Mexico court has ordered Meta, the parent company of Facebook, to pay $567m into a fund aimed at redressing adverse mental health impacts from the social media giant’s platforms.The Thursday ruling comes as a part

Cloudflare has released Kitesurf, a stateless web browser built specifically for AI agents. It runs entirely in V8 isolates on Cloudflare Workers, with no Chromium underneath. Browser engines like Chromium were built for humans, and their memory and compute overhead makes one-browser-per-agent prohibitively expensive. Agents do not need tabs, extensions, or pixel-perfect 60-fps rendering. They

In this tutorial, we explore adaptive experimentation using Meta’s Ax with the modern Client API. We work through a complete workflow where we tune a RandomForest model on a synthetic classification dataset while balancing predictive accuracy against model footprint. We begin by defining a mixed search space with integer, float, log-scaled, and categorical parameters, then
