MIT Open Learning launches Universal AI, an online self-paced modular program covering AI fundamentals to industry applications, with the first course free. It features AI personalization via AskTIM and aims to make AI education accessible globally.
Dimitris Bertsimas and Megan Mitchell discuss the motivation behind Universal Learning, and what sets the new MIT Open Learning educational initiative apart.
Learn how one Hubber used GitHub Copilot CLI to build an extension that turns any codebase into a unique, roguelike dungeon.
Most AI discussions focus on technical tools, but the missing half is the operating model: how roles, management, team composition, and trust evolve. Without updating this operating stack, technical investments plateau after six months. This article details key areas like manager redesign, career architecture, team rebalancing, data-product partnership, trust-building, and communication norms.
MinIO introduces MemKV, a petabyte-scale caching system for Nvidia GPUs, built on its AIStor object storage. It leverages Nvidia's STX architecture to provide microsecond-latency shared context across GPU clusters, boosting utilization from 50% to over 90% in a 128-GPU deployment and yielding $2 million annual compute savings.
A video featuring our snarky agent reviewing the withone.ai website in a humorous tone.
The vendor is rolling out AI agents across its fixed network platforms to automate troubleshooting, improve customer support and accelerate fiber deployment.
The article reviews six common anti-AI arguments: big tech backlash, plagiarism, deskilling, environmental cost, impact on arts, and AI hindering learning. The author, who uses AI and works at an AI company, takes these criticisms seriously but finds many rely on biases or misunderstandings.
Statewright provides state machine guardrails for AI agents, controlling which tools they can use in each phase to improve reliability and performance, with significant results on local models.
AI IQ intelligently estimates the IQs of popular AI models by mapping benchmark scores onto a normalized scale through calibrated difficulty curves, covering abstract, mathematical, programmatic, and academic reasoning, along with emotional intelligence (EQ) from EQ-Bench and Arena Elo.
YantrikDB is an embedded memory engine for AI agents that goes beyond simple retrieval. It combines vector, graph, temporal, and decay indexes with cognitive operations like record, recall, think, and conflict detection. It uses a decoupled write path and CRDT-based sync to provide local-first, scalable memory that fits in under 100 tokens per query, even with thousands of memories.
This article argues that the key to effective agentic development is not full automation or specialized tools, but ensuring proper human handoffs and specification clarity. It builds on Brooks' distinction between essential and accidental complexity, suggesting that LLMs should be used to enhance communication and decision-making rather than replace developers. Bicameral's product tracks implementation decisions throughout the lifecycle.
Viewllm is a lightweight Go binary that lets you view and share HTML reports generated by AI agents (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) as easily as Markdown. It features real-time preview, instant sharing, search, and works in SSH, WSL, remote servers.
The Phantom MK-1, a humanoid robot by Foundation, is designed for combat, aiming to replace human soldiers. With military contracts and tests in Ukraine, it raises ethical and practical concerns about autonomous warfare.
Ytree v3.0.0-alpha is an AI-assisted rewrite of the classic Unix file manager, bringing feature completeness with split screens, file preview, archive-as-directory support, and more. It is a keyboard-first logger that scans entire drive hierarchies into memory for fast filtering and bulk operations. This alpha release invites community feedback.
A contest to port the classic game NetHack (over 440k lines of C code) to JavaScript. It features two phases: Phase 1 for parity against NetHack 5.0, Phase 2 for generalization to 5.1. Entries are categorized as agentic, transpiled, or other. Scoring is based on matching screen renders and PRNG with the official C version. The first transpiled solution has been submitted, and the contest runs through end of 2026.
Amazon employees are using automation to perform unnecessary tasks solely to improve their rankings on internal AI leaderboards, a practice known as 'tokenmaxxing.'
Employees are now whispering to AI voice dictation tools rather than clacking the keys. Will ‘voicepilling’ make everyone more productive – or just more annoying?
The Musk vs. Altman trial unveiled OpenAI's equity structure: former AI scientist Ilya Sutskever still holds $7 billion in OpenAI shares, while President Greg Brockman owns about $30 billion. The startup's employees collectively hold $164.9 billion in equity, making over 600 millionaires. OpenAI's tender offer allowed 75 employees to cash out $30 million each.
Ansvisor is an open-source platform that helps brands track and grow visibility across AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. It monitors mentions, citations, sentiment, prompt volumes, and competitor share-of-voice in real time, turning insights into content workflows. MIT licensed, self-hostable from GitHub.
A malicious Hugging Face repository imitating an OpenAI release delivered infostealer malware to Windows machines, amassing around 244,000 downloads before removal. Researchers warn that public AI model registries pose supply chain risks as developers clone models into corporate environments.
As President Trump prepares for a summit in China, his administration is sharply divided over a plan to give U.S. intelligence agencies a bigger role in evaluating AI models, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The author shares their 2025 Linux dev machine setup, moving from Fedora/KDE to vanilla Arch Linux with the niri scrolling tiling compositor, and achieving fully offline AI-assisted coding. The machine uses an ASUS ROG Flow Z13 with 128GB unified memory, running local models like Qwen3.6 27B and Gemma 4 31B via OpenCode and llama.cpp. The article details the hardware, OS, desktop environment, dev tools, and the local AI workflow.
AI enthusiasts are increasingly walking around with laptops cracked open to keep their coding agents running, from airports to ice rinks. The trend has become a meme, with OpenAI even joining in with a TikTok.
