Microsoft to unveil new AI models and Windows improvements at Build

Microsoft to unveil new AI models and Windows improvements at Build

Microsoft is heading to San Francisco this week in a bid to win back developers at its Build conference. I've been attending Build since the days when Microsoft called it the Professional Developers Conference, and I can't remember a more pivotal moment. As Microsoft continues to reshuffle its entire business around AI, it's moving Build into a smaller, more intimate venue. Trust in Windows and GitHub is at an all-time low, and this is Microsoft's chance to reconnect with developers and outline the future. Sources tell me that we'll hear about new AI models in Windows, a new reasoning model from Microsoft AI, and a Copilot "super app." But … Read the full story at The Verge.

Transforming rare cancer research with Amazon Quick: Integrating biomedical databases for breakthrough discoveries

In this post, we walk through how to use Amazon Quick Research to integrate biomedical data sources for rare cancer research. The walkthrough uses pediatric sarcoma as the research domain and draws on publicly available datasets from PubMed and other open biomedical repositories. It covers the end-to-end workflow: defining a research objective, configuring data sources, reviewing the AI-generated research plan, running the investigation, and iterating on results using the revision and versioning system.

In an agent stack, where would you add heavy reasoning first: state corruption, tool-contract mismatch, or the last external action?

I keep thinking Ring-2.6-1T makes more sense as a containment layer than as a default model for every step. It is a trillion-parameter reasoning model for agent workflows with high and xhigh reasoning-effort modes. If I only added it to one failure-prone point first, I would choose state corruption, a tool-contract mismatch, or the final external action before the agent changes something outside the sandbox. Which failure point would you guard first? submitted by /u/Spirited_Friend_8428 [link] [comments]

Ignoring benchmarks, how do the newest local models (gemma 4 31B, 26BA4B, Qwen 3.6) “feel” to you? What do you think they compare to?

I use local ai mainly for creative writing, and benchmarks are a bit iffy on that I feel like. I’d like to compare Gemma mainly to Gemini as I like their writing the best, I do know that qwen 3.6 is amazing but mostly for coding and agentic work. I’d like to ask everyone how the new(er?) models feel to you personally rather than looking at benchmarks which they are likely optimised for. For me, I feel like Gemma 4 31B (even q4) still falls short of 2.5 pro, I’m most familiar with 2.5 pro since I used so much of it for free on ai studio when it was a preview. The style and prose are there but long context it still misremembers minor details. I think it’s actually better than gpt 4.5, but tha could be personal preference since, again, I do mostly only creative writing submitted by /u/opoot_ [link] [comments]

Nvidia’s New PCs for “Agentic AI Power Users” Are Here—And They’re Not Playing Around

Nvidia just launched the first consumer PCs explicitly designed for AI agents, and if you think this is just another marketing gimmick, you’re missing the bigger picture. This is the moment AI hardware stopped being niche. The Deep-Dive: According to the WSJ and Nvidia’s own announcements, these new machines are purpose-built for running multi-agent workflows—the kind that power customer service bots, code assistants, and autonomous research tools. Key specs: - RTX Pro boards with up to 48GB VRAM for local agent orchestration. - CPU + GPU hybrid architecture optimized for parallel task execution. - Enterprise-grade security and remote management for business users. This isn’t about gamers or creatives anymore. These are workstations for professionals who need to deploy, monitor, and scale AI agents daily. Companies like Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Microsoft are already integrating Nvidia’s stack into their agent frameworks. The implications are huge: - Democratizing agent deplo

Gemini’s new AI agent is about as good as Google’s demo

Gemini’s new AI agent is about as good as Google’s demo

Google's new "24/7" AI agent, Gemini Spark, can be shockingly good at doing things on your behalf. But I'm not sure it's worth the financial cost and potential privacy tradeoffs. The company gave me access to Spark last week. Google advertises Spark as an AI agent that can take on tasks and work on them in the background - even tasks that have multiple steps - allowing you to put your phone down or walk away from your computer. It also advertises at the very top of the Spark website that it's "always under your direction," that "you choose to turn it on," and that "it's designed to check with you before taking major actions." Given the moun … Read the full story at The Verge.

For AI agents, where should the heavier reasoning budget go first: before actions, after state changes, or before the final explanation?

One thing I find interesting about reasoning models is that the hard question is often budget placement, not headline capability. Ring-2.6-1T is a trillion-parameter reasoning model for agent workflows with high and xhigh reasoning-effort modes. If an AI agent only gets a heavier reasoning pass in one place, I would put it before it takes an external action, after it updates state, or before it gives the final explanation to a user. Where would you spend that budget first? submitted by /u/babyb01 [link] [comments]

For Ling-2.6-1T, what would make the size feel justified first: quality per token, local serving reality, or long context stability?

The first question I have about Ling-2.6-1T is not “is the model card impressive?” It is whether the boring trade-off makes sense. It is an open-sourced Ant/InclusionAI flagship with about 1T total params / 63B activated params, up to 1M native context, and 256K currently exposed through the official API. For a local-LLM crowd, I’d want one answer first: does the quality justify the active size, can the serving setup make sense, or does the long window stay stable enough deep into context? Which one would you need answered before caring about it? submitted by /u/Top_Training5738 [link] [comments]
