You just watched a colleague confidently present a code solution that solves an issue, but it changed 7 files for a simple CSS tweak. The…

Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) is a standard technique for adapting LLMs to new tasks by training them on expert demonstration datasets. It is valued for its simplicity and ability to develop expert-like behavior quickly, but often underperforms in generalization compared to reinforcement learning (RL). RL allows models to explore diverse strategies, which leads to stronger generalization….
Generative AI is entering a more mature phase in 2025. Models are being refined for accuracy and efficiency, and enterprises are embedding them into everyday workflows. The focus is shifting from what these systems could do to how they can be applied reliably and at scale. What’s emerging is a clearer picture of what it…
Google AI, in collaboration with the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute, has introduced DeepPolisher, a cutting-edge deep learning tool designed to substantially improve the accuracy of genome assemblies by correcting base-level errors. Its notable efficacy was recently demonstrated in advancing the Human Pangenome Reference, a major milestone in genomics research. The Challenge of Accurate Genome…
The Day AI Started Acting on Its Own #2 — Inside the Ultra Deep Layer (B3) SummaryAI is a machine — yet at times, it seems to act on its own. This second article in the three-part series explores what happens when AI reaches a “Ultra deep layer” of interaction. Based on real experiences with GPT, Claude, and Gemini, I…
Rethinking Audio-Based Human-Computer Interaction Machines that can respond to human speech with equally expressive and natural audio have become a major goal in intelligent interaction systems. Audio-language modeling extends this vision by combining speech recognition, natural language understanding, and audio generation. Rather than relying on text conversions, models in this space aim to understand and…
DeepSeek’s plan to train its new AI model, R2, on Huawei’s Ascend chips has failed and forced a retreat to Nvidia while delaying launch. For months, the narrative pushed by Beijing has been one of unstoppable technological progress and a march towards self-sufficiency. However, reality has a habit of biting back. The recent troubles of…
