DeepMind’s Talker-Reasoner framework brings System 2 thinking to AI agents

AI agents must solve a host of tasks that require different speeds and levels of reasoning and planning capabilities. Ideally, an agent should know when to use its direct memory and when to use more complex reasoning capabilities. However, designing agentic systems that can properly handle tasks based on their requirements remains a challenge. In a new paper, researchers at Google DeepMind…

Stable Diffusion 3.5 debuts as Stability AI aims to improve open models for generating images

Stability AI is out today with a major update for its text to image generative AI technology with the debut of Stable Diffusion 3.5. A key goal for the new update is raise the bar and improve upon Stability AI’s last major update, which the company admitted didn’t live up to its own standards. Stable Diffusion 3 was first previewed back in February and the first open model version became…

OpenAI researchers develop new model that speeds up media generation by 50X

A pair of researchers at OpenAI researchers has published a paper describing a new type of model — specifically, a new type of continuous-time consistency model (sCM) — that increases the speed at which multimedia including images, video, and audio can be generated by AI by 50 times compared to traditional diffusion models, generating images in nearly a 10th of a second compared to more than 5…

Arch-Function LLMs promise lightning-fast agentic AI for complex enterprise workflows

Enterprises are bullish on agentic applications that can understand user instructions and intent to perform different tasks in digital environments. It’s the next wave in the age of generative AI, but many organizations still struggle with low throughputs with their models. Today, Katanemo, a startup building intelligent infrastructure for AI-native applications, took a step to solve this…
