Cactus Compute has launched Needle 2, an open 45M-parameter mannequin for instrument calling, gadget use, and structured extraction. The complete mannequin ships as a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in about 28MB of RAM. Weights are educated and deployed at CQ2-bit utilizing Cactus Quants, and the mannequin is sealed inside the corporate’s…
In this tutorial, we construct an end-to-end workflow for working with the SupraLabs reasoning corpus. We stream a consultant subset instantly from the Hugging Face Hub, examine its supply distribution, token-length patterns, activity composition, and reasoning-to-answer ratios, and then apply a sequence of high quality filters to take away unsuitable coaching examples. We rework the…
Becoming Human AI Is Expanding — Here’s What’s Changing was initially printed in Becoming Human: Artificial Intelligence Magazine on Medium, the place persons are persevering with the dialog by highlighting and responding to this story.
Google has launched Gemini 3.7 Flash, the latest mannequin in its Flash tier, three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash. The model card describes it as a refinement of three.6 Flash with algorithmic enhancements to the core reasoning basis — not a brand new pretraining run. It accepts textual content, photographs, audio, and video throughout a…
Yesterday, Liquid AI launched LFM2.5-VL-3B. It is a 3.1B-parameter vision-language mannequin constructed for on-device deployment. The mannequin reads digital screens throughout cellular, internet, and desktop. It grounds objects to coordinates, parses paperwork and charts, and calls instruments from textual content or picture enter. Liquid AI experiences a mean of 69.4 throughout 28 imaginative and prescient…
Ask any AI engineer what ships quickest to a demo and slowest to manufacturing, and the trustworthy reply is nearly at all times the interface, forward of the mannequin, the retrieval pipeline, or the eval harness. A chat window that seemed intelligent within the pitch deck turns right into a bottleneck the second an actual…
Okta says identity-scoped Model Context Protocol (MCP) software lists can scale back AI agent token costs. Each mannequin name made by an AI agent can embody schemas, names, descriptions and parameters for each software uncovered by a MCP server. Okta calls the ensuing immediate overhead the “software tax”: tokens consumed as a mannequin considers instruments,…
Dyna Robotics has launched Dyna-2, a world-action mannequin for robotic manipulation. It was pre-trained on a couple of million hours of selfish human video. That is roughly 170 years of steady waking expertise. Robot studying has been bottlenecked by action-labelled information, which teleoperation should intentionally produce. Dyna-2 checks whether or not odd human video can…
SpaceXAI simply launched Grok 4.6. The launch is a post-training improve over Grok 4.5 quite than a bigger base mannequin. SpaceXAI held the inspiration fixed and spent the development on an extended supplemental coaching run, regenerated supervised fine-tuning trajectories, and reinforcement studying in agentic environments. Agents that keep on a job throughout many steps with…
