The AI fight brewing inside The New York Times

Yellow taxis pass in front of The New York Times newspaper building. | Alexandra Schuler/dpa (Photo by Alexandra Schuler/picture alliance via Getty Images) How newsrooms should use AI - or if they should at all - has been a recurrent debate within the media industry over the last several years. Increasingly, these rules are being hammered out at the bargaining table between unions and publishers. Right now, employees at The New York Times are gearing up for a fight. Unionized staff with the Tech Guild say Times management has refused to provide the union with information related to how the company has used AI, its plans for AI use in the future, and how it will affect employees' jobs and workflow. (The union filed an unfair labor practice charge earlier this month.) The Tech Guild, a NewsGuild … Read the full story at The Verge.

MiniMax teases upcoming M3 model with new sparse attention mechanism and 15.6X long-context response speed boost

MiniMax teases upcoming M3 model with new sparse attention mechanism and 15.6X long-context response speed boost

Among the many Chinese AI companies and laboratories vying for market share and attention (no pun intended) on the global marketplace, MiniMax stands out for its commitment to providing frontier-level intelligence across a range of modalities, including text, coding, and video (through its Hailuo model series) — often under permissive, enterprise-friendly, standard open source licenses. Now, MiniMax is again raising the eyebrows of AI power users and developers around the world by releasing a new, in-depth technical report on the making of its popular M2 series of language models (M2, M2.5, and M2.7) shedding light on its numerous engineering innovations and clever approaches — while the company and its leaders also teased a whole new sparse attention approach for its upcoming MiniMax M3 series of models, which it says yields up to 15.6 times faster decoding (or LLM response) speed at long contexts (a million tokens) by adopting a custom sub-quadratic framework. In so doing, MiniMax h

Merck and Mastercard are seeing real agentic AI results. Both say the plumbing came first

Merck and Mastercard are seeing real agentic AI results. Both say the plumbing came first

Merck is using AI agents to cut drug discovery cycles by a third and ship compliant marketing materials up to 80% faster — but VP of Digital Platforms Sean Finnerty says the only reason it's working is because they built the infrastructure first. And the pharmaceutical manufacturer is seeing promising early results: AI is generating marketing drafts that are “99% right” when it comes to compliance, shrinking review cycles from months to days and accelerating delivery by 70% to 80%. In the company’s medical research, meanwhile, one AI-assisted discovery cycle was reduced by 33%. Still, agentic AI only works if companies first build the underlying “plumbing,” Finnerty said of digital platforms and services at a recent AI Impact Series event. “If we do one-offs, we're gonna end up with thousands and thousands of things that are ultimately just gonna be debt that we'll have to deal with later,” he said. “And that's gonna be a drag on any further innovation.” Starting with the plumbing Me

Robinhood is opening its trading platform to AI agents. In an announcement on Wednesday, Robinhood says traders can now create a separate account for an AI agent and add a specific amount of money, allowing the agent to buy and sell stocks across the market. The company pitches the feature as a way for traders to automate investment decisions, such as having an agent monitor specific industries and make trades, or rebalancing an existing portfolio. But it comes with a big warning from Robinhood: Agentic trading involves significant risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment.

DataGrail report finds your vendor may be sending data to AI models you never approved

DataGrail report finds your vendor may be sending data to AI models you never approved

The data processing agreement (DPA) — the bedrock contract companies use to evaluate how vendors handle personal data — can no longer be trusted at face value. That is the central, and arguably most alarming, conclusion of DataGrail's Privacy and AI Trends Report 2026, released today. The San Francisco-based privacy platform analyzed 2,400 popular business software providers and found that 63.6% of vendors that prominently advertise AI capabilities do not disclose a third-party AI subprocessor in their legal documentation. The implication: the majority of companies purchasing AI-enabled software may be unknowingly exposing their customers' data to AI models and pipelines they never reviewed, never approved, and may not even know exist. "All software vendors are trying to move to become AI vendors, which makes sense, but the technologies are moving faster than AI governance can actually keep up," DataGrail co-founder and CEO Daniel Barber told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview ahead
