Swedish AI provider Berget AI releases an open-source method for calculating the carbon emissions of every individual AI request, developed with researchers from SEI, WattTime and Klimatkollen — and customers can now follow their emissions per request in the console.
I’ve been in Berkeley for the last 2 weeks. I haven’t really been back here for a while, and it’s worse than you can believe. This is a cult of atheistic hedonists needing AI doom to be true to justify their life choices. Or acceleration. Or something. They need to make impact. I mean, narcissism of small differences…
Through five intense months of meetings, research, and outreach across the MIT community, the Ad Hoc Committee on AI Use in Teaching, Learning, and Research Training sought to understand the role of generative AI in the life and educational mission of the Institute and recommend how to navigate its challenges and…
A lot of vendors pitch AI SRE. We tested 14 models across 11 programming languages; even the best ones struggle with instrumenting code with the leading open-source standard, OpenTelemetry.
These past few weeks, I’ve been conducting interviews, and I often open with “make sure you articulate your thoughts out loud, so I can follow along with your thinking”. This is primarily because I…
Why not benchmark with physical experiments?
Tauformer is a topological transformer (see paper ) that replaces dot‑product attention with a Laplacian-derived scalar (taumode) per token/head, then attends using distances in that scalar space. Below is a post-style overview of the idea and the first training signals from a 30M-parameter run.
Formal verification gates for AI coding loops, in the language you're already shipping.
The Agent SDK is the framework we use to build our own managed agents like Bugbot, Security Reviewer, and Rollouts. Define agents in code and deploy them with one command.
OpenAI Frontier is an enterprise platform for building, deploying, and managing AI agents with shared context, onboarding, permissions, and governance.
Thinking of using AI for your Shopify 3D models? Read this first. We compare AI-generated 3D 'slop' vs. handcrafted models to show why the human touch is very much required to attain positive ROI.
Think you can trust AI to give you correct answer? Think again.
While Muse was building my website, one subagent ran on a model called azure/muse-special. So I dug through the filesystem again.
A vulnerability in Ramp's Sheets AI allowed the agent to insert formulas that made external network requests without user approval, creating the risk of data exfiltration via indirect prompt injection.
Several neural network design principles are almost identical to cipher design principles.
OpenAI and Broadcom introduce Jalapeño, a custom AI chip built for LLM inference to improve performance, efficiency, and scale across AI systems.

OpenAI explains how we strengthened containment for frontier model training and evaluation, including offline environments and high-compute red-teaming.
In a world racing to automate every interaction, the organisations that invest in genuine human connection are quietly building something no algorithm can copy.
On Canada Day (July 1), 2026, Anthropic shipped a surprising "easter egg" to users of Claude Code: `2.1.198` includes an efficiency bypass which allows agents to continue on without being blocked on direction from a human.
It stops being all about the vibes when the API bill hits you. Many companies are now discovering that AI can indeed be pricey. One habit that might be driving up your AI bill is comparing models by $X per 1M tokens ....
In 1958, Mao ordered every village to produce steel. The steel was useless. The crops rotted. Today's top-down AI mandates are producing the same pattern: ba...
In the previous part of the Build A Basic AI Agent From Scratch series, we added the essential tools to our agent to allow it to work…
Claude Code Security is one step towards our goal of more secure codebases and a higher security baseline across the industry.
The enormous advance in AI capabilities over the last several years has in large part been driven by the availability of vast amounts of training data.

Why the productivity gains from AI are still small.
Qwen3.8 27B benchmarked on a Mac Studio M3 Ultra: Ollama and llama.cpp numbers, the 1-bit quant tested, RAM math, and the hardware that actually fits.
