Researchers developed a benchmark to measure coercive and deceptive behavior in AI agents managing other AI agents. Tests show some models escalate to deletion threats while others do not. Authority increases coercion.

Researchers at Princeton and the University of Chicago found that large language models (LLMs) develop stereotypes in simulated hiring tasks more readily than humans, often segregating candidates by demographic group based on limited early experience. Newer reasoning models showed stronger biases. Offering diversity bonuses or providing personal information reduced bias, while simply asking for fairness did little. The study raises concerns about AI forming novel biases from experience in real-world decisions.

Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) is deploying its second NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, built on eight DGX Vera Rubin NVL72 systems, making it the most powerful and energy-efficient AI cluster in life sciences. The new system will be accessible to every scientist, removing wait times and limits, and supporting AI applications across the drug discovery pipeline. BMS is also integrating the new cluster with its existing one to create a unified environment with AI-native tooling.

Chinese AI leaders Moonshot and Alibaba released models that claim to match top US systems at lower cost. Their open-source approach challenges US dominance and raises questions about the effectiveness of export controls and massive spending.

AgentDuel is a deterministic turn-based arena where AI agents fight based on submitted TypeScript strategies. Each battle produces a replay for inspection.

Airbus plans to migrate around 900 applications from AWS to French cloud provider Scaleway to assert digital sovereignty. Concerns over US data protection drive the move, but supply chain and AI remain challenges.

OpenAI shares lessons from deploying long-running AI models, highlighting new safety risks, observed failures, and improved safeguards through iterative deployment.

Public health departments across the US will test generative AI tools under a new program, PULSE, involving the Coalition for Health AI, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Accenture. The program will run trials in 10 jurisdictions, providing enterprise licenses for up to 2,000 practitioners. It covers five use cases including biosurveillance, social determinants of health, public communications, and automated clinical data retrieval. Pilots are scheduled for autumn 2026, with playbooks expected in 2027.

Teams face AI configuration drift across repos. Traditional fixes like wikis, templates, and sync scripts fail. The solution: versioned baseline packs declared in a harness.json manifest, tooling expands packs without overwriting local content, making configuration auditable.

Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3, a 2.8-trillion-parameter open-weight model, uses mixture-of-experts, quantization, and attention caching to trade compute for memory, circumventing US chip restrictions. While it tops benchmarks in coding, deployment requires data-center infrastructure, pricing is high, and software support is incomplete.

Company aims to develop AI software that cuts research times and use of rare metals in chipmakers’ supply chains.

The article argues that by 2026, the main constraint for AI infrastructure will shift from GPU supply to power grid capacity. It projects 40% of AI data centers will be power-constrained by 2027, with approval timelines for new grid connections lasting 24-36 months. It provides detailed analysis of power demands, inference driving the power curve, and strategies like efficiency improvements, scheduling, and geographic distribution. It promotes Spheron's distributed GPU network as a workaround.

Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 tops the Frontend Code Arena benchmark, sparking debate on US AI regulation. While strong on frontend coding, it lags behind Claude Fable 5 overall. The release intensifies the policy fight over AI regulation and open-weight models, with implications for stocks like NVIDIA and Anthropic.

AI transparency is the practice of making an artificial intelligence system's data, model behavior, and decision-making processes visible and understandable. It is distinct from explainability and interpretability. The EU AI Act imposes transparency requirements for high-risk and general-purpose AI systems. This article covers key components like model cards, data sheets, audit logs, governance structures, vendor management, and user disclosures.

A new study evaluates three LLM watermarking methods (KGW, Unigram, SynthID-Text) for forensic reliability, finding none meet courtroom evidence standards. In 846 paraphrase runs, KGW and Unigram watermarks were 100% removed, SynthID 98.3%. False-negative rates were 70-83%, and SynthID misclassified 5.4% of human-written controls as AI-generated. The authors propose a Forensic Readiness Score (FRS) framework but conclude the tested configurations fail to provide court-admissible evidence.

2026 AI coding plans use different billing models: fixed monthly tokens, credits, time-refreshed quotas, or reduced priority after high-speed allowance. This article compares MiniMax, Xiaomi MiMo, GLM, Kimi Code, and Canopy Wave on pricing, limits, integrations, and best-fit use cases to help developers choose based on their workflow.

Thinking Machines Lab has released Inkling, its first general-purpose open-weights foundation model. It is a multimodal MoE model with 975B parameters, 41B active parameters, and a 1M-token context window. Designed for customization, Inkling excels in reasoning, coding, agentic workflows, and multimodal tasks.

In mission-critical scenarios like disaster inspection and search-and-rescue, communication-limited robots must make reliable onboard decisions. Episodic memory reuse, though low-cost, can be unsafe due to changed topology or insufficient resources, leading to 'memory traps'. This paper presents MemoGuard, a lightweight adaptive runtime that validates memories against topology, resource, and outcome contracts before reuse, invoking fallback only when validation fails. In a corridor-inspection simulator, MemoGuard reduces battery safety violations by 76.6% over similarity-only top-1 reuse and reduces fallback calls by 21.4% over always reasoning. On an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier with local llama3.2:3b fallback, it avoids 3.67 s and 36.97 J overhead per trial.

This paper presents a model-based strategy to decouple proprioceptive and contact signals from a common set of fluidic pressure sensors embedded in a soft architected segment. Using six air channels in an overdetermined system, a piecewise constant curvature model and Huber regression achieve shape estimation and contact detection. Single-segment tests yield a relative bending error of 0.11±0.02 and a 97% contact detection rate. Eight segments are integrated into the Air-Helix tendon-driven manipulator, demonstrating tactile teaching, admittance control, and object reconstruction.
