Liquid AI has introduced LFM2-2.6B-Exp, an experimental checkpoint of its LFM2-2.6B language model that is trained with pure reinforcement learning on top of the existing LFM2 stack. The goal is simple, improve instruction following, knowledge tasks, and math for a small 3B class model that still targets on device and edge deployment. Where LFM2-2.6B-Exp Fits […]
Just months after releasing M2—a fast, low-cost model designed for agents and code—MiniMax has introduced an enhanced version: MiniMax M2.1. M2 already stood out for its efficiency, running at roughly 8% of the cost of Claude Sonnet while delivering significantly higher speed. More importantly, it introduced a different computational and reasoning pattern, particularly in how
Throughout history, the ambition of technological advancement has always been driven by the pursuit of human prosperity. But with AI, we are approaching a pivotal gut check to live up to this promise for the next generation. In my role as CTO at SAS, I talk with a lot of […] The post Human prosperity

When I first started as a data scientist, there was a gap. I met with dozens of organizations who would invest time and resources into building accurate and tuned models and then ask, “What now?” They had a fantastic model in hand but couldn’t get it into a place and […] The post There is

Meta researchers have introduced Perception Encoder Audiovisual, PEAV, as a new family of encoders for joint audio and video understanding. The model learns aligned audio, video, and text representations in a single embedding space using large scale contrastive training on about 100M audio video pairs with text captions. From Perception Encoder to PEAV Perception Encoder,
«AutoQML, self-assembling circuits, hyper-parameterized Quantum ML platform, using cirq, tensorflow and tfq. Trillions of possible qubit registries, gate combinations and moment sequences, ready to be adapted into your ML flow. Here I demonstrate climatechange, jameswebbspacetelescope and microbiology vision applications… [Thus far, a circuit with 16-Qubits and a gate sequence of [ YY ] – [ XX ] – [CNOT]

Machine learning covers a lot of ground but it is also capable of making bad decision. We’ve also reached a stage of hype that folks forget that many classification problems can be handled by natural intelligence too. This package contains scikit-learn compatible tools that should make it easier to construct and benchmark rule based systems
Google has released T5Gemma 2, a family of open encoder-decoder Transformer checkpoints built by adapting Gemma 3 pretrained weights into an encoder-decoder layout, then continuing pretraining with the UL2 objective. The release is pretrained only, intended for developers to post-train for specific tasks, and Google explicitly notes it is not releasing post-trained or IT checkpoints
Small language models like GLiNER provide an efficient, deterministic, and flexible solution for named entity recognition, bridging the gap between traditional NLP and large language models for enterprise information extraction. The post The rise of small language models for information extraction appeared first on SAS Blogs.

Generative AI has seen drastic improvement in image, video, audio, and text generation within the last few years. Humans, on the other hand, are still catching up on determining when it’s appropriate to use Generative AI and how to review the content generated by AI before sharing it with others.
