Stable Diffusion 2.0 model recipe: Out-of-the-box configuration for Stable Diffusion 2.0 in Colossal-AI enables low-cost training, fine-tuning, and inference, while also reducing GPU memory consumption by up to 5.6 times and hardware costs by up to 46 times. All of which can be achieved with just one line of code. BLOOM model recipe: The ready-made inclusion of the 175 billion parameter BLOOM model offers stand-alone inference with a 4-fold reduction in GP

That's the gamble of Showrunner, a new streaming platform launching this week with an amazing concept: it's the AI that generates episodes from users' ideas. Hollywood maintains a love/hate relationship with generative AI. The industry claims that technology is used to copy its creations without its consent, to reproduce the voice o

Published on August 1, 2025 at 16:23 Commenter 0 𝕏 Print © OpenAI « Too many risks »: OpenAI has ended an experimental feature of ChatGPT that allowed search engines — including Google — to index conversations with the bot. The concern was that these discussions could disclose personal information about users. Conversations with ChatGPT were indexed by Google and other search engines. Accessible under the domain https://chatgpt.com/share, some of these dis

A new research paper from Anthropic hypothesizes that there’s an internal “workspace” within the operations of the Claude LLM. The significance the paper is groping toward is that this so-called “J-Space” inside Claude is sort of like one leading idea about human consciousness—global workspace theory. The J-Space, according to my reading of the paper, is an ostensibly brain-like separation between something more like automatic data-crunching in the backgro

According to new reporting from the Financial Times, the company’s top AI scientist, Yann LeCun, is planning to leave his position there and start his own AI startup. It’s a genuinely startling decision. LeCun, who joined Meta in 2013, is a towering figure in the AI industry. A Turing Award winner, th

From text and proteins to audio, images, and state sequences, decoder-only generative models have proven their ability to generate new sequences across various modalities. However, integrating multiple generative foundation models, especially those trained on different modalities, into a cohesive and superior system presents significant challenges. In a new paper Zipper: A Multi-Tower Decoder Architecture for Fusing Modalities, a Google DeepMind research t

Source: Getty Images Lawyers across the country have been landing themselves in hot water for submitting botched court documents written with the help of AI, in blunders that were clear signs of the tech’s rapid inroads into the courtroom. But it was only a matter of time before AI wasn’t just producing clerical errors, but actual submitted “evidence.” That’s what recently played out in a California court ove

OpenAI’s upcoming AI model built 948 working Linux root exploits in a single run An automated system running on an upcoming AI model turned hundreds of Linux kernel bugs into working exploits that give an ordinary user root access, and wrote a patch for each underlying flaw, OpenAI revealed in a new research post.

Stolen Claude API keys can turn Claude Code into a remote-controlled implant Darktrace researchers turned Claude Code into a remote-controlled implant in a lab test, steering the coding agent through the memory stores feature of Anthropic’s Claude platform and pulling a 1 GB file out through the Claude Files API. Once the agent was set up, every job and every result traveled through api.anthropic.com, the endpoint the agent already calls for inference, so

Getty / Futurism The use of generative AI for creative purposes has spawned a major countermovement. From game developers reeling from a wave of criticism for using the tech to artists staging mass protests against AI, the backlash against what’s being hailed as a technological revolution grew massively last year. In a startlingly literal example of this growing fury, a University of Alaska Fairbanks undergraduate student was detained after ripping “artwor

Even better, technology creates new jobs, but long-term prospects are less optimistic. Contrary to common beliefs, the effects of AI on the job market remain positive so far, assert researchers from the BCE. A finding based on
