Rivian’s AI-powered voice assistant is ready to roll
Rivian's AI-powered voice assistant is rolling out today to the company's vehicle fleet. The assistant will be available through a software update to all compatible Rivian Gen 1 and Gen 2 vehicle owners who subscribe to the company's Connect Plus cellular service, which costs $15 a month or $150 a year, or are in an active trial. First announced at last year's AI and Autonomy Day, the Rivian Assistant is powered by the company's Rivian Unified Intelligence, "a shared, multi-modal AI foundation" that is "interwoven" throughout the entire company. The assistant is deeply embedded in the vehicle's operations, but will also pair with third-par … Read the full story at The Verge.

Thinking Machines shows off preview of near-realtime AI voice and video conversation with new 'interaction models'
Is AI leaving the era of "turn-based" chat? Right now, all of us who use AI models regularly for work or in our personal lives know that the basic interaction mode across text, imagery, audio, and video remains the same: the human user provides an input, waits anywhere between milliseconds to minutes (or in some cases, for particularly tough queries, hours and days), and the AI model provides an output. But if AI is to really take on the load of jobs requiring natural interaction, it will need to do more than provide this kind of "turn-based" interactivity — it will ultimately need to respond more fluidly and naturally to human inputs, even responding while also processing the next human input, be it text or another format. That at least seems to be the contention of Thinking Machines, the well-funded AI startup founded last year by former OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati and former OpenAI researcher and co-founder John Schulman, among others. Today, the firm announced a r

Turning AI cost spikes into strategic growth opportunities
Presented by Apptio, an IBM company AI spending is surging, but the full impact often remains an open question. Closing the gap requires clear answers to how AI is governed, measured, and tied to business outcomes. ROI uncertainty isn’t unique to AI: In the Apptio 2026 Technology Investment Management Report, 90% of technology leaders surveyed said that ROI uncertainty has a moderate or major impact on overall tech investment decisions, a 5-percentage point year-over-year increase. In other words, tech leaders are increasing their reliance on ROI – even if they don’t fully know how to measure it. And AI economics involves new and unpredictable costs, further complicating ROI calculations. Faced with increasing uncertainty and increasing budgets, technology leaders need a clear, reliable framework for evaluating AI ROI. Organizations increasingly expect scaled AI to pay its own way, at least partially. According to Apptio’s technology investment management report, 45% of organizations
Is your enterprise adaptive to AI?
Presented by EdgeVerve For most enterprises, AI adoption began with a straightforward ambition: automate work faster, cheaper, and at scale. Chatbots replaced basic service requests, machine‑learning models optimized forecasts, and analytics dashboards promised sharper insights. Yet many organizations are now discovering that deploying individual AI solutions does not automatically translate into enterprise‑level impact. Pilots proliferate, but value plateaus. The next phase of AI maturity is no longer about deploying more models. It is about adapting AI continuously to changing business objectives, regulatory expectations, operating conditions, and customer contexts. This shift is particularly critical for complex, globally distributed organizations such as Global Business Services (GBS), where outcomes depend on orchestrating work across functions, regions, systems, and stakeholders. From automation to adaptation AI can no longer be treated as a standalone tool to accelerate discret

Running Claude Code or Claude in Chrome? Here's the audit matrix for every blind spot your security stack misses
Between May 6 and 7, four security research teams published findings about Anthropic’s Claude that most outlets covered as three separate stories. One involved a water utility in Mexico, another targeted a Chrome extension, and a third hijacked OAuth tokens through Claude Code. In one case, Claude identified a water utility’s SCADA gateway without being told to look for one. These are not three bugs. They are one architectural question playing out on three surfaces. No single patch released so far addresses all of them. The common thread is the confused deputy, a trust-boundary failure where a program with legitimate authority executes actions on behalf of the wrong principal. In each case, Claude held real capabilities on every surface and handed them to whoever showed up. An attacker probing a water utility's network. A Chrome extension with zero permissions. A malicious npm package rewriting a config file. Carter Rees, VP of Artificial Intelligence at Reputation, identified the stru
Llama models: still valuable for finetuning or surpassed by everything new?
Hello there people. So I have noticed that people are pretty much ignoring Llama 3 plus 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 these days. They never mention how their experience goes with fine-tuning those models. But we haven't been getting many entries into the 70 billion space. So is, for example, Llama 3.3 70B the best thing available right now to be experimented with and fine-tuned? Or is it Qwen3 all the way? submitted by /u/Silver-Champion-4846 [link] [comments]
