Enterprises seem to accept it as a basic fact: AI models require a significant amount of compute; they simply have to find ways to obtain more of it.
But it doesn’t have to be that way, according to Sasha Luccioni, AI and climate lead at Hugging Face. What if there’s a smarter way to use AI? What if, instead of striving for more (often unnecessary) compute and ways to power it, they can focus…
This researcher turned OpenAI’s open weights model gpt-oss-20b into a non-reasoning ‘base’ model with less alignment, more freedom
August 18, 2025
OpenAI’s new, powerful open weights AI large language model (LLM) family gpt-oss was released less than two weeks ago under a permissive Apache 2.0 license — the company’s first open weights model launch since GPT-2 in 2019 — but developers outside the company are…
Google unveils ultra-small and efficient open source AI model Gemma 3 270M that can run on smartphones
August 15, 2025
Google’s DeepMind AI research team has unveiled a new open source AI model today, Gemma 3 270M.
As its name would suggest, this is a 270-million-parameter model — far smaller than the 70 billion or more parameters of many frontier LLMs (parameters being the number of…
Gartner: GPT-5 is here, but the infrastructure to support true agentic AI isn’t (yet)
August 15, 2025
Here’s an analogy: Freeways didn’t exist in the U.S. until after 1956, when envisioned by President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s administration — yet super fast, powerful cars like Porsche, BMW, Jaguars, Ferrari and others had been around for decades.
You could say AI is at that same pivot point: While models are becoming increasingly more capable, performant and sophisticated, the critical…
A comprehensive new study has revealed that open-source artificial intelligence models consume significantly more computing resources than their closed-source competitors when performing identical tasks, potentially undermining their cost advantages and reshaping how…
OpenAI adds new ChatGPT third-party tool connectors to Dropbox, MS Teams as Altman clarifies GPT-5 prioritization
August 14, 2025
Today, many eyes are on OpenAI CEO and co-founder Sam Altman‘s ongoing public feud with Elon Musk on the latter’s social network, X.
But Altman’s recent statements regarding the ongoing rollout of his company’s latest and greatest large language model (LLM), GPT-5…
Physical AI, where robotics and foundation models come together, is fast becoming a growing space with companies like Nvidia, Google and Meta releasing research and experimenting in melding large language models (LLMs) with robots.
New research from the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) aims to challenge Nvidia and Google in physical AI with the release of MolmoAct 7B, a new open-source model that…
Google adds limited chat personalization to Gemini, trails Anthropic and OpenAI in memory features
August 14, 2025
Google is playing catch-up against Anthropic and OpenAI as it slowly adds customization, personalization and gives users more control over what data to reference to its Gemini app.
Personalization and data control in chat platforms make it easier for both individual and…
Liquid AI wants to give smartphones small, fast AI that can see with new LFM2-VL model
August 13, 2025
Liquid AI has released LFM2-VL, a new generation of vision-language foundation models designed for efficient deployment across a wide range of hardware — from smartphones and laptops to wearables and embedded systems.
The models promise low-latency performance, strong…
Russia’s APT28 is actively deploying LLM-powered malware against Ukraine, while underground platforms are selling the same capabilities to anyone for $250 per month.
Last month, Ukraine’s CERT-UA documented LAMEHUG, the first confirmed deployment of LLM-powered malware in the wild. The malware, attributed to APT28, utilizes stolen Hugging Face API tokens to query AI models, enabling real-time…
