Release: llm-typesafe 0.1a0 I built this new plugin for LLM to add support for TypeSafe AI's new Jev model. Install it like this: llm install llm-typesafe Then set an API key (get one here, the waitlist seems to move pretty fast): llm keys set typesafe # Paste key And now you can ask yes/no "noul" questions like this: llm -m jev 'Please refund my last payment.' \ -s 'Does this message explicitly request a refund?' Output: {"type": "noul", "noul": 0.99} Or choice questions like this: cat message.txt | llm -m jev \ -s 'Which team should handle this message? If billing and technical issues both occur, choose billing.' \ -o answer_type choice \ -o criteria '{ "billing":"Charges, invoices, payments, or refunds", "technical":"Problems installing or using the product", "other":"Neither category…

Learn how Tata Elxsi built IRIS, a real-time industrial safety platform on AWS. IRIS filters camera video at the edge, streams metadata through Amazon Kinesis, runs computer vision on Amazon SageMaker AI, and correlates detections into high-confidence alerts, detecting unsafe conditions in seconds instead of minutes.
Public sector agencies process large volumes of unstructured evidence, such as body camera footage and scanned documents. This post shows how to combine Amazon Bedrock Data Automation with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to turn that data into structured insights and surface them through natural language queries in Salesforce Agentforce.

Have you ever read a paper in Science or Nature and thought, “Man, that research was so cool. I wish I could try that method on my own data”—only to spend a week wrestling with someone else’s undocumented repo, broken dependencies, and half-finished readme.txt? Well, now you can, more or less. Say hello to Paper2Agent, a new open-source framework that transforms academic reports into interactive AI agents you can talk to. Give it a paper along with the accompanying codebase, data or other supplementary material, and the system automatically extracts the core workflows, then spins up a tested, runnable toolkit that you can use on your own datasets. The concept may sound a little like Google’s NotebookLM (now called Gemini Notebook), which lets you upload documents and chat with an AI about…
Alongside warnings about its ability to destroy humanity, artificial intelligence is also hailed for its potential to revolutionise health treatment. Just how far can it take us? Her name was June. June would be the last month she ever knew. I remember the way her bed made her so small, swallowed her up in the middle of the room, turned as it was to face the window. With her liver failing, her skin was a ghostly apricot. June – I called her Nan – had been stalked by the king of terrors, the emperor of all maladies: cancer. That son of a bitch.

The former UK deputy prime minister is a board member of the UK-based company and owns 917,000 shares Nick Clegg could make approximately $40m (£30m) from the planned float of Nscale as the UK-based datacentre company prepares for a US stock market listing. The former UK deputy prime minister owns more than 917,000 shares in the startup, which is reportedly seeking a valuation of up to $35bn in a flotation. Based on Clegg’s stake of 0.12%, that could yield a valuation of about $42m for the ex-Liberal Democrat party leader. Continue reading...

António Guterres says humanity faces unprecedented convergence of threats but mechanisms for collective action are under growing strain The world’s fault lines have turned from cracks into canyons as superpowers show that they alone do not have the military, economic and technological power to guarantee security, or solve the world’s problems, the outgoing secretary general of the United Nations has said in his final address to the general assembly. In a speech laced with despair but also glimpses of defiant hope, António Guterres warned that over the last decade, largely spanning his eight-year period in office “wars erupted with devastating consequences and dragged on with despicable cruelty. Civilians were targeted. Human rights trampled. Hunger weaponised. Humanitarians killed. Intern…

A new AI control system lets MIT’s tiny flying robot move with insect-like agility, boosting its speed by about 450 percent and allowing it to pull off 10 somersaults in 11 seconds. The technology could eventually enable miniature robots to search earthquake rubble and navigate dangerous spaces that conventional drones cannot reach.

This article is brought to you by CoolIT. Beyond 250 kW a server rack can no longer be cooled by a hybrid approach of liquid and air. At this density a 70/30 liquid-air split leaves 75 kW of air load. The air cooling system needed to move it brings cost and complexity few operators will accept. The answer is near-total heat capture. Liquid takes effectively all the heat, air falls below 1 percent of the load, allowing the server to run fanless. CoolIT builds these loops today from modular coldplate blocks proven across six generations of fanless designs. Processor thermal design power (TDP) keeps climbing generation over generation. This rising heat load is now cascading into the memory, networking, storage, and power components that once ran comfortably on air. The heat escaped the chip…
As animal behaviorists increasingly use AI in their research, they grapple with how to wield the technology responsibly I’m sitting in a small boat in Shark Bay, Australia, eavesdropping on a conversation between some of Earth’s most intelligent beings. The motor is off, the turquoise sea is glassy, and Stephanie King and I are motionless, transfixed by the whistles, clicks and squeezy, whirring noises made by the dolphins swimming below us. If anyone could tell me what these big-brained social mammals are saying, it would be her. Based at the University of Bristol, she co-leads Shark Bay Dolphin Research, one of the longest-running wild dolphin research projects in the world. She has spent thousands of hours watching and listening to this population. Continue reading...

The zero-day exploit required local access to the user’s device, but gave potential attackers access to Muse accounts. | Image: The Verge Meta has issued a patch for its Muse macOS app following the discovery of a zero-day vulnerability that could allow someone to take control of the AI agent. The bug found by security researcher Patrick Wardle utilized an undocumented Muse setting that enabled potential attackers running local code to redirect transcription processing from Meta's servers to their own endpoint, Ars Technica reports, giving the attacker access to the Muse account. Several design decisions reportedly enabled this flaw, including having Muse dictation occur in the cloud instead of on-device, and allowing any app to control all of Muse's undocumented settings. Pr … Read the f…
