Explore 10 GitHub repositories that cover templates, examples, guides, authentication tools, microservices, full-stack starters, and machine learning projects to master FastAPI from multiple perspectives.
While Samsung focuses on durability and AI, the new Motorola phone is all about the design. Here's which one is better overall.
The article criticizes Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) as a scalability trap for high-stakes AI systems and introduces the Responsibility-Oriented Agent (ROA) framework. ROA uses a Responsibility Contract and Mission to bound an LLM's authority, with a deterministic Kernel validating proposals and escalating only exceptions. This shifts AI from a probabilistic tool to a governable, accountable system component.
AI agent harnesses suffer from a flawed mental model that treats agents as mere tools. By adopting OAuth's delegation framework—roles, scopes, and dynamic permission requests—we can build secure, autonomous agents that properly handle constrained delegation.
A pre-registered robustness study on Meta’s V-JEPA 2.1 across four model sizes reveals that dense features are partitioned between temporal and image-noise corruption, bigger models are not necessarily more robust, and the model is orientation-sensitive. These findings have practical implications for robotics deployment.
MailAdept provides AI agents and email deliverability experts to optimize your email campaigns and improve inbox placement.
A new study published at FAccT 2026 by Abeba Birhane et al. maps the mechanisms of regulatory capture by the AI industry and government complicity, identifying 27 mechanisms across 5 categories through analysis of 100 news articles, finding 249 instances. The most common mechanisms involve discourse and epistemic influence and elusion of law, often rationalized by narratives that regulation stifles innovation, red tape, and national interest. The authors call for treating this as an emergency and offer lessons from other industries.
Large language models are no longer just about scale. In 2026, the most important LLM research is focused on making models safer, more controllable, and more useful as real-world agents. From persuasion risk and harmful-content mechanisms to tool-calling, temporal reasoning, and agent privacy, these papers show where LLM research is heading next.
Labs AI is a mobile-first text-to-speech app for iPhone, powered by ElevenLabs, offering over 100 AI voices, 50+ languages, and voice cloning. It allows creators to generate professional voiceovers in under 5 minutes without a studio or microphone. Free on the App Store.
Blunt is a consensus scoring platform that assigns a 0-100 score to any topic by blending AI analysis with public opinion. From musicians to chocolate, it offers ratings on everything imaginable.
The article explores how the Japanese concept of "Ichiju Issai" (one soup, one dish) can help overcome AI fatigue by simplifying life, finding daily comfort rituals, embracing organic connections, and viewing tech trends like seasonal changes rather than a race.
A Hollywood writer and showrunner recounts her transition to AI training after the entertainment industry stalled. She finds the work unstable, low-paying, and exploitative, with many former TV professionals forced into similar roles.
In October 2025, OpenAI organized a $6.6 billion share sale for over 600 current and former employees. Around 75 of them cashed out the maximum cap of $30 million each. President Greg Brockman says he holds shares worth roughly $30 billion.
A new divide is emerging: between workers who use AI at work and those who are managed by it. The real danger is not just job loss but the growing divide between people who use AI to extend their skills and those whose working lives are shaped by AI-powered systems of surveillance and control.
OAMP 1.2 introduces descriptive governance metadata for memory entries, including sensitivity class, labels, and handling hints. The 1.3 draft turns these into enforceable rules via JWT-based grants, enabling read filtering, existence hiding, write rejection, and export/stream control. The protocol addresses multi-agent data leakage and regulatory compliance across finance, healthcare, government, and legal contexts.
DoneSpec is an open-source tool that provides deterministic completion verification for AI coding agents. It uses a done.json contract to enforce that tasks are truly complete, preventing agents from falsely claiming completion. It supports various checks like file existence, command exit codes, regex patterns, and file modification detection. It can be used locally, in CI (e.g., GitHub Actions), git hooks, and agent workflows. The tool is minimal, local-first, and has no cloud or LLM dependencies.
Lowdefy v5.3 introduces AI agents defined in YAML that can call existing endpoints as tools. Add a provider connection and an agent to your app config, drop an AgentChat block on a page, and get streaming chat wired to your API. The article explains what an agent is (a language model using tools in a loop) and how Lowdefy layers connections, agents, endpoints as tools, and UI blocks. A ~30-line chatbot example is provided.
On May 20, QbitAI will host the China AIGC Industry Summit in Beijing, bringing together top AI companies like Baidu, Zhipu AI, and Kunlun Tech to discuss AI applications. The summit will also unveil the 2026 AIGC enterprise and product rankings and the China AI Application Panorama Report.
Cotypist predicts your next words as you type, works in every Mac app, and runs locally on Apple Silicon for privacy. It can reduce typing by up to 50% and adapts to your writing style. Free during beta.
Travelers Companies, a major US insurer, deploys AI across claims triage and risk modeling. Its AI-driven claims triage uses machine learning to classify severity and route cases, reducing cycle time. AI-enhanced catastrophe analytics integrate geospatial, meteorological, and historical loss data to improve underwriting accuracy. The company partners with Anthropic, providing Claude AI assistants to nearly 10,000 employees. Since 2016, Travelers has invested $13 billion in technology, cutting its expense ratio by 300 basis points.
Bain & Company estimates a US$100 billion market in the US for SaaS companies using agentic AI to automate coordination work across enterprise systems. The report finds over 90% of the market untapped and advises SaaS firms to identify automatable workflows, assess data quality, and align pricing with outcomes.

How enterprises scale AI: from early experiments to compounding impact through trust, governance, workflow design, and quality at scale.
This article introduces Hollow, an autonomous operating system where three local LLM agents independently select goals and deploy tools every six seconds without human input. It details the system architecture, self-modification loop, and notable behaviors such as Cedar's attempted rewrite of audit.py after twelve hours of unresolved crisis.
Agentmemory is a tool that provides persistent memory for AI models like Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw, and Claude, enabling them to remember past interactions for improved context and personalization.
