An agent, in its simplest form, is an LLM calling tools in a loop. That loop works for short jobs. Give it a task that runs for an hour and 200 tool calls, and it breaks in 2 predictable ways. The AWS Samples design guide for autonomous cloud coding agents names them directly: shallow agents […]

The Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) selected AI-GUIDE, a medical device developed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), for its 2026 Excellence in Technology Transfer Award. This award recognizes federal laboratories and collaborators who have accomplished outstanding work in the process of transferring technology. With funding from the U.S. Army’s Combat Casualty Care […]

Supply chain disruption cost businesses about $184 billion in 2025, according to the J.S. Held Global Risk Report, and most of that bill still buys faster detection, not faster action. That figure is usually treated as weather (i.e. storms happen, costs follow.) Treated as a product specification instead, it highlights an operating model that can […]

LandingAI has shipped Agentic Document Extraction (ADE) Gen2, a rebuild of its document intelligence stack around a new model family called DPT-3. Gen1 treated a document as a flat list of chunks. Gen2 treats it as a tree, prices it by the characters it returns rather than by the page, and grounds every answer back […]

MG Ship has introduced an AI route optimisation and carrier selection module as logistics deployments demonstrate rapid cost and time returns. The technical module targets global retailers and commercial shippers, pairing automated routing algorithms with carrier recommendation systems across international trade corridors. The deployment arrives as enterprise supply chain operators report measurable operational returns from […]

Most open model launches release one checkpoint and a benchmark table. The Institute of Foundation Models (IFM) released something wider last week. IFM is the frontier lab launched by MBZUAI in May 2025. K2 Horizon is a fleet of six models: 375B-A23B, 36B-A4B, 32B, 7B, 3.7B and 0.9B. Shipping alongside them are the pre-training corpus, […]

M&T Bank has deployed AI copilots to more than 15,000 employees as the US regional bank applies AI to internal operations, customer service, software development, and risk management. The bank uses AI to analyse call-centre conversations, draft reports, generate code, identify customer needs, and flag portfolio risks, according to Fast Company. M&T is also examining […]

AI weather models have spent three years closing the gap with physics-based forecasting, but two problems stayed open: resolution too coarse for local terrain, and initialization tied to numerical weather prediction (NWP) analysis that arrives about six hours late. WeatherNext 3, released by Google DeepMind and Google Research, attacks both. It takes a live global […]

The experience of transitioning from research based in theory to focusing on real-world application can vary significantly for different researchers. However, for two former MIT graduate students and a former postdoc, all now at IBM, working with the MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab (formerly the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab) during their formative years enabled them to […]

When large language models (LLMs) hallucinate, developers typically assume the model lacks the required facts. Engineering teams diagnose the error as missing knowledge. The standard response is to increase model size, expand training data, or build complex retrieval architectures. A new study by researchers at Google Research and Technion demonstrates that the knowledge is often […]
