Terence Tao argues AI could bring division of labor to math for the first time in history
Mathematician Terence Tao describes how AI could reshape math research by enabling division of labor for the first time. Until now, researchers had to master every step themselves, from framing problems to verifying results. Tao sees "industrial mathematics" emerging: large AI-supported teams instead of lone geniuses, with humans staying indispensable for "inspired guesses." The article Terence Tao argues AI could bring division of labor to math for the first time in history appeared first on The Decoder.

AI grifters are creating fake Black people to sell Shein junk
TikTok sellers that appear to be AI generated, in tears. | The Verge Aliyah, a light-skinned Black woman dressed in country-western gear, is struggling to sell metal buckles she handmade on TikTok. In a video for the social media platform from March, she cries to the camera and pleads for views: "Even as a black woman, I have more faith that white women will stay 13 seconds [on this video] to save my belt buckle business," the onscreen text reads. She wipes a tear off her cheek. But Aliyah isn't real, and neither are her supposedly handmade products - she's one of many AI-generated influencers created to sell mass-produced products via dropshipping on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram. Identical belt buckles … Read the full story at The Verge.
How one founder’s bet on ‘the old school web’ is paying off
A good time with old maps. | Image: Past Maps Craig Campbell walked away from the river of investor money flowing into AI to create, of all things, a website. Sure, Campbell probably could have started an AI company. He's a former engineer at Meta and an experienced tech founder who in 2022 sold his last venture - an e-commerce tool for businesses that use Shopify - right as the AI boom was booming. "I had my prior VC investors breathing down my neck, going 'start something else. We'll write you a blank check.'" He had other ideas. People generally aren't rushing to get into the website business, what with the Google Zero event horizon approaching. Campbell was undeterred and has gro … Read the full story at The Verge.

The biggest shift in AI right now is not better models. It’s better operational memory
Most AI systems are still great at reasoning inside a session but terrible at preserving evolving knowledge over time. Agents repeat mistakes, copilots forget architecture decisions, and RAG systems quietly go stale. It feels like the industry is shifting from “can the model think?” to “can the system remember, update, and operationalize knowledge reliably?” The next big AI advantage probably won’t just be smarter models. It’ll be systems that make intelligence compound instead of reset. submitted by /u/AdventurousLime309 [link] [comments]

Liquid AI releases LFM2.5-8B-A1B
Liquid AI released LFM2.5-8B-A1B, an edge model designed to power real-life applications. It builds on LFM2-8B-A1B with three major upgrades: an expanded 128K context window, 38T tokens of pre-training (up from 12T), and large-scale reinforcement learning. It also comes with a doubled vocabulary to improve tokenization for non-Latin languages. The result is a model that chains tool calls, completes complex tasks, and fits comfortably on an entry-level laptop.

Mistral AI launches Vibe, expands into industrial AI and announces data center push to challenge OpenAI
Mistral AI used its inaugural conference on Wednesday to announce a sweeping expansion into industrial manufacturing, a new inference data center south of Paris, and a rebranding of its consumer-facing assistant — moves that collectively signal the three-year-old French startup's ambition to become the enterprise AI provider of record for companies that refuse to hand their most sensitive data to American hyperscalers. At the AI NOW Summit, held at a venue in central Paris, co-founder and CEO Arthur Mensch took the stage alongside CTO Timothée Lacroix and Chief Scientist Guillaume Lample to lay out a strategy that stretches from bare-metal GPU clusters to physics simulations for aircraft wings. The company disclosed that it now employs 1,000 people and is targeting €1 billion ($1.17B USD) in revenue for 2026 — a figure that, if achieved, would be an extraordinary growth trajectory for a company that began with 15 employees collaborating with its first customer, BNP Paribas, in 2023.

Claude’s new model is more ‘honest’ when it messes up
Anthropic is releasing Claude Opus 4.8 on Thursday, and the company is touting the model's "honesty." According to Anthropic, it trains "all [its] models to be honest - for instance, to avoid making claims that they can't support." But it notes that "a general problem with AI models is that they sometimes jump to conclusions, confidently presenting their work as making progress despite thin evidence." The AI lab claims that early testers have found that Opus 4.8 "is more likely to flag uncertainties about its work and less likely to make unsupported claims." In the company's evaluations, Opus 4.8 is "around 4x less likely than its predeces … Read the full story at The Verge.
Anthropic releases Claude Opus 4.8 with improved agentic reasoning, honesty, and a new "dynamic workflows" feature in Claude Code
Anthropic just dropped Claude Opus 4.8 today, an incremental but meaningful upgrade over Opus 4.7. Here are the highlights: Model improvements Better performance across coding, agentic, reasoning, and knowledge work benchmarks Significantly improved honesty: the model is reportedly ~4x less likely to let flaws in its own code go unremarked compared to Opus 4.7 Alignment assessment shows lower rates of deceptive or misaligned behavior, on par with their Claude Mythos Preview model Scores 84% on Online-Mind2Web for computer use and browser agent tasks, ahead of both Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5 New features launching alongside it Dynamic workflows (Claude Code): Claude can now spin up hundreds of parallel subagents in a single session to tackle large-scale problems like full codebase migrations. Available for Enterprise, Team, and Max plans. Effort control: Users on claude.ai can now choose how much compute effort Claude puts into a response, from faster/cheaper to deeper/slower.
The AI agent bottleneck isn't model performance — it's permissions
Enterprise AI agents are stalling — not because of model performance, but because of permissioning. Every agentic workflow eventually hits the same wall: what is this agent allowed to touch, on whose behalf, and how does the system know? Workday's answer is to make its existing system of record the governance layer for agents. Gerrit Kazmaier, the company's president for product and technology, told VentureBeat in an interview that customers often struggle when they cobble together solutions for their agents. “Sana makes sure the integrity of the approvals and security model is always adhered to,” Kazmaier said. “Frankly, that’s where we see customers struggling when they try to build do-it–yourself AI by just accessing raw data, so the richness of the security model gets lost, and the results become overly broad.” Workday, which launched Sana in March, expanded its partnership with Google to bring its Sana agent system of record to the Gemini Enterprise — so agents built on Sana are
