Tennibot, the Alabama-based pioneer in AI-powered tennis training equipment, has launched the Partner V2, a next-generation smart tennis ball machine that combines artificial intelligence, a lighter form factor, and expanded shot capabilities to deliver the most advanced practice experience available to tennis players today. The Partner V2 tennis ball machine is available now at an […]

Niantic Spatial has launched two new products aimed at enabling artificial intelligence systems to operate more effectively in physical environments, as companies continue to explore so-called “world models” – AI systems designed to understand and interact with real-world spaces. The company says its new offerings – Scaniverse for businesses and an updated Visual Positioning System […]

Matei Zaharia has won the top honor from the Association for Computing Machinery. Now he's working on AI for research and says AGI is simply misunderstood.

We evolved for a linear world. If you walk for an hour, you cover a certain distance. Walk for two hours and you cover double that distance. This intuition served us well on the savannah. But it catastrophically fails when confronting AI and the core exponential trends at its heart. From the time I began…

Unionized staff at ProPublica, one of the country's leading nonprofit newsrooms, are walking off the job for 24 hours beginning Wednesday and asking the public to honor a digital picket line. The roughly 150 members of the ProPublica Guild are in the midst of negotiating a collective bargaining agreement after unionizing in 2023. The union says key issues are still in contention, including protections around the use of AI, "just cause" provisions around disciplining or firing an employee, layoff protections, and wages. "We've been working to resolve this quietly for over two years," says Katie Campbell, a ProPublica Guild member. "This is … Read the full story at The Verge.

Anthropic says its new model is too dangerous to release; there are reasons to be skeptical, but to the extent Anthropic is right, that raises even deeper concerns.

The goal of the company, which is preparing for what could be the first overseas listing by a K-pop agency, is to create content without the constraint of human performers.

The new model will be used by a small number of high-profile companies to engage in defensive cybersecurity work.

IREN (NasdaqGS:IREN) is back in focus after its pivot toward AI cloud infrastructure, anchored by a five year, multibillion dollar data center capacity deal with Microsoft, raised fresh questions about execution and funding. See our latest analysis for IREN. At a latest share price of $35.74, IREN has a 1 day share price return of 1.74% and a 7 day share price return of 4.26%. However, the 90 day share price return of 18.07% and year to date share price return of 16.30% point to fading short...

‘AI models have reached a level of coding capability where they can surpass all but the most skilled humans at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities,’ Anthropic says.

Private AI developer Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) is partnering with an array of Big Tech names for its Project Butterfly cybersecurity initiative that will help combat AI-empowered cyberattacks.Yahoo Finance Tech Editor Dan Howley joins Markets and Data Editor Jared Blikre to break down the headline.

On Tuesday, Spotify expanded its Prompted Playlists feature to include podcasts, an update that could make it easier for Premium users to find new shows to listen to. Prompted Playlists were originally launched as a beta feature in December, but previously only worked for music. You can use the feature to effectively generate customized Discover Weekly playlists using text prompts to "steer the algorithm" toward specific genres or themes. Tuesday's update allows you to do the same thing with playlists of podcast episodes. The feature is still in beta, though, and is currently only available in English for Premium users in the U.S., Canada … Read the full story at The Verge.

Anthropic launched a cybersecurity partnership with companies including Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft on Tuesday.

Google's new offline-first dictation app uses Gemma AI models to take on the apps like Wispr Flow.

The AI-powered musicmaker Suno is struggling to reach licensing deals with Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment. That's according to a report from the Financial Times, which says both sides can't agree on whether users should be able to share the AI-generated songs they create. "Universal wants AI-generated tracks to stay inside apps such as Suno and not spread freely across the internet. Suno, however, wants users to be able to share and distribute those songs more widely," the Financial Times reports. Suno, which lets users create AI-generated music with a text prompt, became the subject of a massive copyright lawsuit from U … Read the full story at The Verge.

OpenAI says it has raised $122 billion in a new funding round, valuing the company at approximately $852 billion, as competition to build large-scale artificial intelligence infrastructure intensifies. The round was backed by a group of major technology and financial firms, including Amazon, Nvidia, SoftBank, and Microsoft, alongside investment firms such as Andreessen Horowitz and […]

People close to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman privately questioned whether he could be trusted not only with running the powerful AI company, but as a leader of the transformative technology.

A select group of customers is testing the Claude Mythos Preview.

OpenAI is in a relatively precarious position. The company is and has been a funding behemoth - just over a week ago, it closed $122 billion in funding at a post-money valuation of $852 billion. It's potentially planning for an IPO later this year. ChatGPT's longtime lead in consumer-facing AI led it to name-brand status akin to "Kleenex" for tissues. But in recent months, a slew of executive reshufflings, discontinued projects, and other news has raised questions about how stable the company really is - and how long it may be able to stay on top. OpenAI's current batch of public controversies started early in the year. At the end of Febru … Read the full story at The Verge.

Anthropic is debuting a new AI model as part of a cybersecurity partnership with Nvidia, Google, Amazon Web Services, Apple, Microsoft, and other companies. Project Glasswing, as it's called, is billed as a way for large companies, and potentially even the government, to flag vulnerabilities in their systems with virtually no human intervention. Anthropic is offering its launch partners access to Claude Mythos Preview, a new general-purpose model that it's not currently planning to publicly release due to security concerns. Newton Cheng, the cyber lead for Anthropic's frontier red team, told The Verge that the model will ideally give cyber … Read the full story at The Verge.

Anthropic steps up the offensive vs OpenAI's upcoming IPO woes

Unlike static, rules-based systems, AI agents can learn, adapt, and optimize processes dynamically. As they interact with data, systems, people, and other agents in real time, AI agents can execute entire workflows autonomously. But unlocking their potential requires redesigning processes around agents rather than bolting them onto fragmented legacy workflows using traditional optimization methods. Companies…

arXiv:2604.05114v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a pipeline that curates reasoning data from initial structured data for improving long-context reasoning in large language models (LLMs). Our approach, $\pi^2$, constructs high-quality reasoning data through rigorous QA curation: 1) extracting and expanding tables from Wikipedia, 2) from the collected tables and relevant context, generating realistic and multi-hop analytical reasoning questions whose answers are automatically determined and verified through dual-path code execution, and 3) back-translating step-by-step structured reasoning traces as solutions of QA pairs given realistic web-search context. Supervised fine-tuning with \textsc{\small{gpt-oss-20b}} and \textsc{\small{Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507}} on $\pi^2$ yields consistent improvements across four long-context reasoning benchmarks and our alike $\pi^2$-Bench, with average absolute accuracy gains of +4.3% and +2.7% respectively. Notably, our dataset facilitates self-di
