Australia’s lower house has voted to make AI chatbots stop building fake friendships with children. The Digital Duty of Care Bill passed the House of Representatives on Wednesday, with a late amendment aimed squarely at companion-style chatbots. Platforms that break the new duty could face fines of up to A$109.2 million. The bill still has […]

Each year, Climate Week NYC brings together more than 100,000 people in more than 1,000 events across the city to discuss climate challenges, explore solutions, and spur action. Participants come from industry, academia, philanthropy, nonprofits, government, and finance and venture capital. And this year, the mix included a strong, cross-campus presence from MIT. The MIT […]

In this article, we will discuss newly trending open sourced Anthropic’s sandbox-runtime (srt), the OS-level sandbox behind Claude Code’s sandboxed bash tool. The Anthropic sandbox-runtime limits which files a process can touch and which hosts it can reach. It does this without spinning up a container. It is also not tied to Claude Code. Your […]

Anthropic says Claude has mathematically proven that fuzz-tested code in 123 open-source libraries can’t crash on any input under 64MB, and it found bugs along the way that years of testing had missed. The work, published by Anthropic on October 22 with formal verification startup Theorem, covers 239 entry points from Google’s OSS-Fuzz project. Anthropic […]

To mimic creative thinking, these AI pioneers intentionally injected randomness into algorithms designed to deterministically solve problems, Lindquist writes in a new paper that appears in the journal Past and Present. In the paper, he traces the origins of AI hallucinations back to this early research and suggests there will be inevitable tradeoffs between creativity and […]

Google team have released llm-d 1.0, the first stable version of its distributed inference stack. This open-source, Kubernetes-native layer turns vLLM or SGLang model servers into one coordinated pool. They released it at the PyTorch Conference North America. It targets self-hosted agent and RL workloads, where round-robin load balancing breaks down. TL;DR A serving stack: […]

Despite millions of years of evolution, the development of the human fetus remains a complex process that is vulnerable to genetic, environmental, and metabolic disruptions. These disruptions could result in developmental abnormalities, starting with one of the first organs to begin developing in the fetus that continues to develop after birth: the brain. In a […]

Google Cloud AI Research has open-sourced Harness². It is a recursive agent harnessing framework that improves the code and files around a frozen model. For developers, the pitch is simple. Your agent may get better without a better model. TL;DR Size: A framework, not a model. 0 parameters trained; 8 editable harness components. Version 0.1.0. […]

Kendall Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is often cited as the most innovative square mile in the world. But when the Kendall Square Association gathered local stakeholders for its 18th Annual Meeting Thursday, the conversation focused on innovation primarily in the context of community. The event, which took place at the nonprofit startup incubator The Engine, […]

SpaceXAI just released Grok Voice 3.0. Grok Voice 3.0 is a SpaceXAI speech-to-speech model that listens, reasons, calls tools and speaks. It now ranks first on the Artificial Analysis Speech-to-Speech Index with a score of 86.9. For developers, the endpoint, events and $0.08 per minute price are unchanged from Grok Voice 2.0. TL;DR Runs on: […]
