Xinzhiyuan reports Only a few days after OpenAI launched Images 2.6 on November 4, people were already shouting: GPT is cooked. GPT-6 is completely done for. What has everyone excited is MiniMax's new H3 Image model. Beta tester Emily reported several impressive specs: Up to 16 reference images, prompts of up to 7,500 characters, and output at up to 4K. She also casually placed a bet: based on her understanding of MiniMax, she believed the model would even

Step 5 Preview Returns to the Global Top Tier Author | Wu Haiming Editor | Li Na TAG62@@Cen Feng Two years ago, when StepFun first made its public debut in the foundation-model community, it took the stage by storm with Step 1. Later that same year, it released Step 1V and the trillion-parameter foundation model Step 2 in succession. At the time, the industry still believed that the bigger the model, the more capable it was. Whoever pushed the Scaling Law

Loading the player… The very qualities that make open AI platforms valuable, like open doors and rich data, might also make them vulnerable to more hacks, Irene Solaiman, chief policy officer and SVP of strategy at Hugging Face said on a recent episode of the Equity podcast. The October attack on OpenCode, which targeted users’ third-party API keys and caused financial damage, is the latest example. It follows an incident this summer in which an OpenAI age

PyTorch is the popular open source toolkit that AI app developers and startups use to build, train, and run AI models. It is, by some accounts, used by 85% of the AI apps. PyTorch was originally developed by Meta (then Facebook) in 2016, long before the world had an inkling that LLMs would change the world. At the time, Nvidia’s GPUs were already the standard hardware for AI research, so many of PyTorch’s features were built to work specifically with them.

PHP is a server-side programming language so widely used for web applications that it powers roughly 70% of the websites on the internet; by some accounts, that’s more than 33 million sites. It is also used by popular content management systems like WordPress. The NSA warned that these holes are so severe that if a website can’t be patched immediately, it should be pulled off the web until it can be. The holes allow attackers to infiltrate the server’s fil

New open-source benchmark reveals reasoning as the biggest bottleneck for AI in cloud operations Maximilian Schreiner View the LinkedIn Profile of Maximilian Schreiner Nov 4, 2026 CloudOpsBench is a new open-source benchmark that measures how well AI agents handle typical DevOps tasks in the cloud, from fixing services and removing resources to restricting access rights, rolling out updates, and decommissioning projects.

A startling announcement went out earlier this week: Due to recently discovered vulnerabilities in the open source programming language PHP, website owners had to immediately patch their sites — or if they couldn’t update right away, they should take the sites down to be safe. On this week’s episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Sean O’Kane, and I discussed the significance of the PHP-ocalypse and whether we’ll see more incidents like th

The companies didn’t disclose the deal amount but said that they will keep Pipecat open source. For the uninitiated, Pipecat is a framework that manages voice and video streams along with other pieces in the pipeline, like speech-to-text (STT), large language models (LLMs), and text-to-speech (TTS) models while reducing latency. Its maker, Daily, provides hosted infrastructure for voice and video calls of any kind. With Pipecat, Deepgram will likely gain a

A single cluster processes about 155 trillion tokens per day, and inference optimization is a battle fought over milliseconds.

What it made available was the inference engine behind DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, including core technologies such as MoE expert parallelism, asynchronous batch scheduling, custo

Called Box Content Retrieval, the new feature allows agents to answer queries far more effectively by relying on the embedded metadata created by Nemotron. Box says the upshot for users is faster, more accurate, and less expensive queries. Nvidia’s VP of generative AI software, Kari Briski, told TechCrunch that she expects queries to be answered four times faster, with 20% fewer errors and 90% fewer tokens used. The system will be available to all of Box’s
