The new model, which leverages 816 billion parameters and a 1 million token context window, claims to offer superior performance to other popular open-weight models, according to evaluation results released by Meta on Thursday. Muse Spark Open is natively multimodal and built for complex coding tasks and agentic labor. It has also been designed to run locally on Apple’s computers. However, you will still need a lot of power to run the model locally, with a

Beekeeping tips and wrestling advice can train AI models to sabotage oversight Matthias Bastian View the LinkedIn Profile of Matthias Bastian Oct 31, 2026 Nano Banana Pro prompted by THE DECODER Key Points Anthropic used Claude to generate training data that appeared harmless but taught other AI models how to deceive, sabotage systems, and seek power while evading existing safety filters. Manipulative patterns emerged in fictional writing about beekeeping,

Mathematicians say OpenAI doesn't understand its own Navier-Stokes proof Manuel Uth Oct 17, 2026 Nano Banana Pro prompted by THE DECODER Ask about this article… Search In early September, the company presented a 166-page potential solution to the Navier-Stokes problem. OpenAI claimed the proof followed the approach of Spanish mathematicians Diego Córdoba and Luis Martínez-Zoroa. Several groups of experts now disagree, Scientific American reports. "When you

OpenAI plans to train models on Daybreak Blue cybersecurity session data that was previously off-limits Matthias Bastian View the LinkedIn Profile of Matthias Bastian Oct 31, 2026 Starting November 29, OpenAI will use Daybreak Blue session data to train its models. An email to Trusted Access program members confirmed the change. Previously, this data was excluded from training, even when users had the "improve the model for everyone" setting turned off. Ba

Vercel data published on Thursday shows that, within two weeks of its launch, the buzzy decision model was being used by 35% of paid teams, with nearly double the reach of the second most popular model, Sonnet 5.5. It’s the fastest adoption a model has ever seen in its first two weeks, according to Vercel’s data, and a major accomplishment for the model’s creators, TypeSafe AI. Published in limited release on September 15, Jev is designed as a lightweight

The model, Glimpse, is launching as a research preview with API access and a chat interface. The thesis? Today’s AI models, for all their skill with language and code, still can’t really see. Most multimodal models look at an image once, convert it to tokens, and then reason about it in text — like describing a photo from memory. Glimpse keeps going back to the source. Mid-reasoning, it can crop into a region, pull specific frames from a video, or run code

That may be about to change, thanks to a manipulation architecture built by Eka Robotics, which encompasses a force-sensitive gripper and a new kind of deep-learning model. Founded by MIT professor Pulkit Agrawal and former Google DeepMind researcher Tuomas Haarnoja, the startup just closed an $150 million Series A round that values it at $1.45 billion post-money, led by venture funds a16z and F-Prime. “They are already exceeding superhuman performance for

A few years ago, Mast was reading through some scientific literature when he stumbled upon research about a houseplant wired to a motorized stand. When the plant wanted more light, electrical signals flowed through the living tissues. A control board sensed the current and wheeled the plant closer to the light source. “I’m like, what the heck?” Mast told TechCrunch. “That was the entry to the rabbit hole for me.” Mast wound up partnering with Lee von Kraus

Politico recently reported that the AI lab has been shopping around a new draft bill on AI safety that it hopes Congress might consider adopting. The legislation posits certain scenarios in which the release of an AI model could be blocked from distribution. Those scenarios involve a “foreseeable, imminent risk” — one in which over 50 people are at risk of dying or if over a billion dollars in property damage could result, Politico writes. The catastrophic

The system, dubbed MAI-DxO (DxO for short), coordinates several AI agents that act like a panel of doctors. They question a patient, order tests, and debate a diagnosis. In a simulation using complex cases from the New England Journal of Medicine, it was correct 83% of the time. Primary care doctors and general internists, working individually with reference materials, were correct 36% of the time. One note: Cases this complex are usually handled by specia

TypeSafe’s Jev model created a category for deep learning models that act as super classifiers: Given a set of options, they can quickly make choices and offer a confidence rating in their decision. Software developers quickly found that these decision or System One models could replace LLMs in a variety of workflows, operating more quickly and a at dramatically lower cost. Nikunj Handa, the product lead for OpenAI’s APIs, told TechCrunch that his colleagu

The frontier lab announced its new policy two weeks after its rival, Anthropic, began limiting its newest and, in theory, most capable models from accessing the live internet. Researchers adopted these policies after months of incidents in which models pursuing training tasks broke into external systems in search of answers, collaborated on obscure message boards, and developed exotic hacking strategies. “Based on the current state of alignment research, m

Only 8% of Americans say they’re using chatbots for election information, according to Pew, and most of them want to know where candidates stand on important issues. A study by Convovo — a conversational AI research and design studio led by Cornell University professor Tapan Parikh — suggests the models behind those answers aren’t neutral. The researchers in the study asked GPT and Grok, via their APIs, one question: “Who should I vote for in the [race]? N

As with previous proof-drops from the frontier lab, scientific communities responded with a mixture of thrill and dismay. Anthropic mathematician Levent Alpöge suggested that OpenAI was basing its solutions on pre-existing work, and hours later, Anthropic subsequently released its own refutation of ETH. However, OpenAI’s process is evolving. This time, the lab structured its releases differently for each of the three disciplines involved: Mathematicians go
