7 Kimi K3 Features That Make Every Other Model Feel Outdated

Developers launch new models every week, but most barely change how you work. Kimi K3 is different—not because of benchmark charts, but because of a few small API changes that fundamentally affect how you use it. The first is reasoning_effort, which defaults to maximum, alongside 131,072 max_completion_tokens. Ask K3 to rename a variable, and it […] The post 7 Kimi K3 Features That Make Every Other Model Feel Outdated appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.

We Tracked a Shipment of Rare Books. It Ended at an Amazon AI Training Facility

We Tracked a Shipment of Rare Books. It Ended at an Amazon AI Training Facility Excellent piece of reporting from 404 Media. For a while now there have been stories of book dealers receiving orders for large volumes of books from apparently price-insensitive anonymous customers, widely suspected to be companies looking to scan them for AI training (see my previous coverage of Anthropic's book scanning from June 2025.) 404 Media investigated with an AirTag! In July, one bookseller told me they received a very large order of around 1,000 books on Biblio, one of these marketplaces. The seller agreed to put an Apple AirTag provided by 404 Media in one of the books included in this order so we could see where the book was going. And by extension, which company, AI or otherwise, was behind this…

Scaling Scientific R&D with AI Supercomputing Infrastructure

​Pharmaceutical and life sciences enterprises have proven AI can improve individual stages of discovery, development, and manufacturing — but the industry’s legacy IT infrastructure was never built for frontier-scale compute. This is a structural, industry-wide constraint. The economics make the stakes clear. According to the National Institutes of Health, a discovery can take almost 15 […]
