What makes a robot gripper useful isn’t that it can pick up one object — it’s that it can pick up the next one, and the one after that, with a tool it’s never held before. What makes an autonomous vehicle system safe isn’t just that it can reason through a situation — it’s that […]
At CVPR, NVIDIA is unveiling new physical AI agent skills that help researchers and developers speed the development of autonomous vehicles, robots and vision AI systems. The core challenge in physical AI research isn’t simply developing stronger models. It’s building a full workflow around them —...
Describe a dataset in one sentence; Bigset's orchestrator and parallel sub-agents research the live web and return structured tables. The post TinyFish Launches BigSet: An Open-Source Multi-Agent System That Builds Structured Live Datasets from Plain-English Descriptions appeared first on...

The Next Era of Knowledge Work report explores how Codex is transforming productivity through AI-powered research, data analysis, workflow automation, and content creation.
Research: Running Python ASGI apps in the browser via Pyodide + a service worker Datasette Lite is my version of Datasette that runs entirely in the browser using Pyodide in WebAssembly. When I first built it four years ago I used Web Workers and code that intercepts navigation operations and...
While AI is helping coders produce code faster, it may not be producing better code, researchers warn. And that could cause problems down the road for them.
Robotics is entering a new phase: moving from controlled demos and scripted automation toward generalizable, reliable embodied autonomy in the real world. At the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), eight of NVIDIA Research’s 28 accepted papers show how simulation-to-real...
Human Archive, a startup founded by UC Berkeley and Stanford researchers, is paying gig workers in India to wear camera-equipped caps and sensor devices to collect the real-world physical training data that AI and robotics labs are racing to acquire.

Nous Research releases Contrastive Neuron Attribution (CNA), a method that identifies and ablates sparse MLP neuron circuits to steer LLM behavior — no sparse autoencoder training, no weight modification, and no degradation of general capability benchmarks. The post Nous Research Releases...
At NVIDIA GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX, the world’s developers, researchers and industry leaders are converging to dive into the latest breakthroughs shaping every industry, covering topics spanning AI factories and scaling infrastructure to agentic and physical AI and more.
NVIDIA researchers have released Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion, a language model family that unifies three decoding modes in one architecture. The model supports autoregressive (AR) decoding, diffusion-based parallel decoding, and self-speculation decoding. It is available in 3B, 8B, and 14B parameter...
Ocean, an agentic email security platform, claims its AI can thoroughly analyze the context of every incoming email to detect fraud and impersonation attempts.
As LLM-powered agents move from research to production, one design tension is becoming harder to ignore: the more useful cloud-hosted memory becomes, the more private user data it exposes. Researchers from MemTensor (Shanghai), HONOR Device and Tongji University have introduced MemPrivacy, a...

Calico Life Sciences uses Co-Scientist to connect scattered findings and generate new leads in aging research.
Last summer, Peter Degen's postdoctoral supervisor came to him with an unusual problem: One of his papers was being cited too much. Citations are the currency of academia, but there was something unusual about these. Published in 2017, the paper had assessed the accuracy of a particular type of...
Richard Socher's new $650 million startup wants to build an AI that can research and improve itself indefinitely — and he insists it will actually ship products.
When generative AI first moved from research labs into real-world business applications, enterprises made a tacit bargain: “Capability now, control later.” Feed your proprietary data into third-party AI models, and you will get powerful results. But your data passes through systems you do not own,...
