Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman

As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon ValleyOpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is on track to lose $14bn this year. Its market share is collapsing, and its own CEO, Sam Altman, has admitted it “screwed up” an element of

Physical Intelligence Team Unveils MEM for Robots: A Multi-Scale Memory System Giving Gemma 3-4B VLAs 15-Minute Context for Complex Tasks

Current end-to-end robotic policies, specifically Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, typically operate on a single observation or a very short history. This ‘lack of memory’ makes long-horizon tasks, such as cleaning a kitchen or following a complex recipe, computationally intractable or prone to failure. To address this, researchers from Physical Intelligence, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and MIT have

Meet SymTorch: A PyTorch Library that Translates Deep Learning Models into Human-Readable Equations

Can symbolic regression be the key to transforming opaque deep learning models into interpretable, closed-form mathematical equations? or Say you have trained your deep learning model. It works. But do you know what it has actually learned? A team of University of Cambridge researchers propose ‘SymTorch’, a library designed to integrate symbolic regression (SR) into

How to Build a Stable and Efficient QLoRA Fine-Tuning Pipeline Using Unsloth for Large Language Models

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to efficiently fine-tune a large language model using Unsloth and QLoRA. We focus on building a stable, end-to-end supervised fine-tuning pipeline that handles common Colab issues such as GPU detection failures, runtime crashes, and library incompatibilities. By carefully controlling the environment, model configuration, and training loop, we show how

Google Drops Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite: A Cost-efficient Powerhouse with Adjustable Thinking Levels Designed for High-Scale Production AI

Google has released Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, the most cost-efficient entry in the Gemini 3 model series. Designed for ‘intelligence at scale,’ this model is optimized for high-volume tasks where low latency and cost-per-token are the primary engineering constraints. It is currently available in Public Preview via the Gemini API (Google AI Studio) and Vertex AI.
