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

Thinking Machines wants to build an AI that actually listens while it talks
Right now, every AI model you've ever used works the same way. You talk, it listens. It responds, you listen. Thinking Machines is trying to change that by building a model that processes your input and generates a response at the same time, so it's more like a phone call than a text chain.

Fostering breakthrough AI innovation through customer-back engineering
Despite years of digitization, organizations capture less than one-third of the value expected from digital investments, according to McKinsey research. That’s because most big companies begin with technological capabilities and bolt applications onto them, rather than starting with customer needs and working backward to technology solutions. Not prioritizing the customer can create fragmented solutions; disjointed…

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]

AI tool poisoning exposes a major flaw in enterprise agent security
AI agents choose tools from shared registries by matching natural-language descriptions. But no human is verifying whether those descriptions are true. I discovered this gap when I filed Issue #141 in the CoSAI secure-ai-tooling repository. I assumed it would be treated as a single risk entry. The repository maintainer saw it differently and split my submission into two separate issues: One covering selection-time threats (tool impersonation, metadata manipulation); the other covering execution-time threats (behavioral drift, runtime contract violation). That confirmed tool registry poisoning is not one vulnerability. It represents multiple vulnerabilities at every stage of the tool’s life cycle. There’s an immediate tendency to apply the defenses we already have. Over the past 10 years, we’ve built software supply chain controls, including code signing, software bill of materials (SBOMs), supply-chain levels for software Artifacts (SLSA) provenance, and Sigstore. Applying these defe
AI agents are running hospital records and factory inspections. Enterprise IAM was never built for them
A doctor in a hospital exam room watches as a medical transcription agent updates electronic health records, prompts prescription options, and surfaces patient history in real time. A computer vision agent on a manufacturing line is running quality control at speeds no human inspector can match. Both generate non-human identities that most enterprises cannot inventory, scope, or revoke at machine speed. That is the structural problem keeping agentic AI stuck in pilots. Not model capability. Not compute. Identity governance. Cisco President Jeetu Patel told VentureBeat at RSAC 2026 that 85% of enterprises are running agent pilots while only 5% have reached production. That 80-point gap is a trust problem. The first questions any CISO will ask: which agents have production access to sensitive systems, and who is accountable when one acts outside its scope? IANS Research found that most businesses still lack role-based access control mature enough for today's human identities, and agents

Are we overusing AI in robotics where simpler solutions would work?
Ok so I was debugging someone's code last week. They replaced PID loop with neural network. Why?? It was slower, harder to debug, and not even better. I think just looked cool in the presentation lol I get it, ML is great for perception, manipulation, stuff you can't just write rules for. But for control loop? Come on. PID, LQR, MPC – predictable, you know what they do, you can fix them at 3am when everything is on fire. Also somebody will need to maintain this code in 3 years. Good luck explaining neural network to that person:) But maybe I am missing something here. Anyone actually replaced classical control with ML and was happy with result? submitted by /u/NickShipsRobots [link] [comments]
