AI reshapes global labour market into two distinct paths, rewarding human skills

PwC's 2026 Global AI Jobs Barometer reveals AI is creating a 'two-track' labour market. Professionalised roles (AI amplifies experts) grow faster than democratised roles (AI makes tasks easier). AI-exposed companies see 52% headcount growth vs 36% for others. Wage premium for AI skills hits 62%. Entry-level roles in AI-exposed fields increasingly require senior skills.

The KV Cache Compression Race: TurboQuant vs OSCAR vs EpiCache

Long-context LLMs face a KV cache memory bottleneck. This article compares TurboQuant (data-oblivious, near-lossless at 3-4 bits), OSCAR (attention-aware, deployable INT2), and EpiCache (conversational memory management). They are complementary rather than competitive.

Microsoft sells OpenAI models in China. OpenAI and Anthropic won’t.

Microsoft has quietly become the main supplier of OpenAI models in China, selling the technology to the country’s largest internet companies even as OpenAI and Anthropic keep their own models out of the market on intellectual-property and misuse grounds. The arrangement, detailed this week by Bloomberg, hands Microsoft a position no other American AI vendor holds: it sells the GPT series to Chinese firms that the model’s own creator will not deal with directly.

The AI debate is about free will

This article argues that the core question behind whether AI will replace humans is the age-old debate between determinism and free will. The author shares personal experiences in data science to illustrate that real-world data is noisy and probabilistic. Quantum mechanics supports a non-deterministic universe, meaning AI cannot eliminate uncertainty. While AI will disrupt rule-based jobs, roles requiring handling uncertainty will remain valuable.

Admittance-Based Surface Alignment for Human-in-the-Loop Robotic Visual Inspection

This paper presents a real-time closed-loop robotic orientation control pipeline for precision visual inspection, using an admittance-based framework that unifies operator input and perception-driven surface alignment. The end-effector is modeled as a virtual sphere in a viscous medium, creating a mass-damper system for compliant motion. Validated on a 6-DOF manipulator with a mean orientation error of 0.4°.

Benchmarking Action Spaces in Reinforcement Learning for Vision-based Robotic Manipulation

This study evaluates four action spaces (pose increment, pose velocity, joint position increment, and joint velocity) in vision-based picking and pushing tasks. Training in simulation and deploying via sim-to-real transfer shows that joint velocity action space is best for smoothness and task success, with practical guidance for choosing action spaces.

DREAM-Chunk: Reactive Action Chunking with Latent World Model

DREAM-Chunk is a test-time scaling method that augments chunking-based policies with a lightweight latent world model, without additional policy fine-tuning. It samples multiple candidate action chunks, rolls out predicted latent futures, and selects actions from the chunk whose predicted state best matches observed rollout, improving robustness under stochastic dynamics. Validated on Kinetix benchmark and multiple robot platforms.
