But why does the tech giant Nvidia want to take control of this platform? At the end of 2025, the Hugging Face platform had rejected a $500 million investment proposal from Nvidia, fearing that such a powerful investor could influence its decisions in the future. Today, The Information reports that Hug

You run a Python web server that displays the main interface, and then connect as many devices as you like as listeners using a QR code or link. In my case, they were two iPads, a phone, a MacBook Pro, and a Surface Ultra.The devices then play sounds to one another to determine where each one is located.It did not work very well, so I added a “coarse mode”: you can drag the device icons on the map to roughly where they are, and the system then refines thei

An overview of the multi-granular crew activity recognition framework. Credit: Automation in Construction (2025). DOI: 10.1016/j.autcon.2025.106428 Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed an AI system that recognizes construction activities at both the individual and crew levels using ordinary site videos. The approach reveals how teamwork shapes productivity and provides a foundation for future human–robot collaboration on construction si

If your boss asks why you haven’t integrated artificial intelligence tools into your workflow yet, tell them it’s because your faith forbids you from doing so. According to a report from the Religion News Service, a research administrator at the University of Kentucky successfully received a religious exemption from his employer, excusing him from any expectations to use AI for his work. The man, 45-year-old David Durman, identifies as a humanist and told

Elon Musk took too long to file his lawsuit that accused OpenAI of stealing a charity, a nine-person jury unanimously decided Monday. Musk sued OpenAI in 2024 for making a “fool” out of him after Musk donated $38 million to kick-start OpenAI as a nonprofit, only to later be blindsided when OpenAI created a for-profit arm that he felt gutted funding for the charity while enriching executives like Sam Altman and Greg Brockman. But the jury found that Musk wa

Before framing it, it’s better to look at what it actually counts—and especially who sets the rules. OpenAI cited an unprecedented figure in a conversation with the press earlier this week: the volume of searches handled by ChatGPT would reach around 20% of Google’s. The estimate comes from Adam Fry, who leads t

Anthropic publishes FlashProve, a cryptographic proof designed to unmask models in disguise. It then immediately shelves the tool in the research section. On Tuesday, November 3, Anthropic posted a research paper accompanied by its open source code: FlashProve, a system designed to prove that a response indeed comes from a given AI model

Xinzhiyuan reports On October 6, OpenAI released 722 mathematical manuscripts generated by internal AI models all at once. Just one day later, three of them were announced as withdrawn. The reason all three manuscripts failed turned out to be just a sign error: one contained a mistake, while the other two followed the same construction and were withdrawn as well. After AI turned in its exam papers en masse, two tech giants joined forces to pay for the “gra

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a November 6 filing that a majority of these reported incidents occurred after the company deployed a software update intended to fix the problem. Reuters was the first to report the filing. Waymo said last year that a software update was completed for all affected vehicles on November 17, 2025. However, NHTSA said the majority of the incidents occurred after the software update. NHTSA’s Of

We’re releasing a new class of reinforcement learning algorithms, Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), which perform comparably or better than state-of-the-art approaches while being much simpler to implement and tune. PPO has become the default reinforcement learning algorithm at OpenAI because of its ease of use and good performance.
