George Clooney, Tom Hanks, and Meryl Streep back new ‘Human Consent Standard’ for AI licensing
Hollywood actors and producers are standing behind a new AI licensing standard that will tell AI systems whether they'll need to pay to use a person's likeness, creative work, characters, and designs. With the Human Consent Standard, people can set terms for the use of their work or likeness, including giving AI systems full permission to use their content, allowing access with certain requirements, or restricting access entirely. The Human Consent Standard builds upon the Really Simple Licensing (RSL) Standard, which launched last year as a way for websites to signal how AI systems use their work. RSL Media, a nonprofit cofounded by Cate B … Read the full story at The Verge.

Perceptron Mk1 shocks with highly performant video analysis AI model 80-90% cheaper than Anthropic, OpenAI & Google
AI that can see and understand what's happening in a video — especially a live feed — is understandably an attractive product to lots of enterprises and organizations. Beyond acting as a security "watchdog" over sites and facilities, such an AI model could also be used to clip out the most exciting parts of marketing videos and repurpose them for social, identify inconsistencies and gaffs in videos and flag them for removal, and identify body language and actions of participants in controlled studies or candidates applying for new roles. While there are some AI models that offer this type of functionality today, it's far from a mainstream capability. The two-year-old startup Perceptron Inc. is seeking to change all that, however. Today, it announced the release of its flagship proprietary video analysis reasoning model, Mk1 (short for "Mark One") at a cost — $0.15 per million tokens input / $1.50 per million output through its application programming interface (API) — that comes in a

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

New Qwen3.6 27b Autoround Quant (int4) Best Recipe
I've been using the int4 Autoround quant from "Lorbus/Qwen3.6-27B-int4-AutoRound" and it has been pretty good! Great quality and performance on an RTX 5090 vllm. I decided to use a similar Autoround recipe but use the "autorund-best" preset instead, it uses more iterations to increase the quality. I have created a default version and a code calibrated quant both at int4. Recipe and calibration dataset can be found within the model card. webhie/Qwen3.6-27B-int4-AutoRound (Best Recipe) webhie/Qwen3.6-27B-int4-AutoRound · Hugging Face webhie/Qwen3.6-27B-int4-AutoRound-Code (Best Recipe) webhie/Qwen3.6-27B-int4-AutoRound-Code · Hugging Face Token Generation: 60-80tps (w/o mtp) & 130-160tps (w mtp 3) Note: This model is extremely sensitive to chat template changes, if you encounter issues (looping, incomplete responses, etc.) with any other Qwen 3.6 model try v11 from here: froggeric/Qwen-Fixed-Chat-Templates · Hugging Face V11 is included with the HF quant. submitted by /u/Oth

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
Thinking Machines Lab ships its first model and argues interactivity is what OpenAI gets wrong about voice
