Plenitude built an agent-based system on Databricks Genie that converts unstructured PDFs for solar and wind maintenance into a unified, queryable data model, enabling natural-language questions and visualizations across plants.
Microsoft has created an open-source fork of Windows Terminal called Intelligent Terminal, which integrates an AI assistant to explain errors, draft commands, and fix problems without leaving the terminal. The agent stays aware of terminal activity and remembers sessions.
NotebookLM, Google's AI research assistant, receives major upgrades including advanced reasoning, new output formats (PDFs, spreadsheets, etc.), and easier research initiation. Built on Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity, it offers improved accuracy and analysis capabilities.
Xiaomi's MiMo team, with TileRT, released MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed, a serving mode for the MiMo-V2.5-Pro model. It decodes over 1000 tokens per second on a 1-trillion-parameter model using a single 8-GPU commodity node. The speedup comes from FP4 quantization, DFlash speculative decoding, and the TileRT runtime. API trial runs June 9–23, 2026.
Flowstate is an intelligent proxy that routes AI requests to the most cost-effective model and attributes spending to projects, potentially reducing AI bills by up to 42%. The article explains the two main leaks inflating AI costs: default flagship model usage and lack of spend attribution.
Microsoft Research introduces Lens, a 3.8B parameter text-to-image model that rivals much larger models by training on 800M detailed captions generated by GPT-4.1. It requires a fraction of the compute. Lens-Turbo generates images in under a second. Open source under MIT.
Two years after first unveiling Apple Intelligence and a smarter Siri that never fully materialized, Apple has used this year's WWDC to announce new AI features and a revamped Siri. The company recently settled a $250 million class action lawsuit over misleading claims about Apple Intelligence. Apple is partnering with Google Gemini to power its AI, focusing on products rather than underlying models.
Google has ordered more than three million AI chips from Intel for 2028. Nvidia is testing Intel's manufacturing tech for its upcoming Feynman architecture. Both moves come as TSMC can't keep up with AI chip demand. Intel's long-struggling foundry division is getting a rare second chance.
Gitdot is an open-source GitHub alternative written in Rust with a CLI-inspired interface. It currently supports user signups, org creation, repository management, and importing from GitHub. Missing features include issues, PRs, and CI. The design focuses on keyboard-driven navigation and aims for 100ms FCP.
Meta confirms hackers exploited a bug in its AI support chatbot to hijack over 20,000 Instagram accounts, including high-profile ones like Barack Obama's, without two-factor authentication. The company has fixed the issue and invalidated reset links.
AWS's cross-Region Inference (CRIS) on Amazon Bedrock helps European customers leverage model capacity across multiple AWS regions while adhering to GDPR and other data protection requirements. This post explores global and EU geographic inference profiles, security features, transparency tools, and how to check available profiles.
Google is rolling out comprehensive updates to NotebookLM, now powered by Gemini 3.5, offering more accurate responses. Users can start research by asking questions, with NotebookLM using Google Search to find sources. Each notebook connects to a secure cloud computer, enabling code execution and generation of various file formats. The update is available for AI Ultra plan and Workspace customers.
A recent study reveals that delegating tasks to LLMs can silently corrupt documents. The DELEGATE-52 benchmark tested 19 models and found that even top models corrupt 25% of content after 20 interactions. Causes include compounding errors, deletion by weak models vs. hallucination by strong ones, context overload, and domain unfamiliarity. Agentic AI tools offer little remediation.
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime gives each agent session its own isolated microVM with a persistent workspace, secure tool access through Gateway, and built-in observability—so you can run Claude Code, Codex, Kiro, and Cursor in parallel without sharing secrets, ports, or filesystems. Close the lid, go to dinner, and pick up where you left off tomorrow.
This post introduces mathematical optimization as a subfield of AI, explains how it differs from machine learning, and showcases real-world success stories from the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center that deliver concrete business results.
Learn how to build a real-time AI voice agent for emergency helplines using LangChain, AssemblyAI, and OpenAI. The agent listens to caller distress, triages the situation, dispatches emergency services, and keeps the caller calm—all without typing or menus.
This video demonstrates the ReARM framework for governing AI coding agents.
This post demonstrates how to use Amazon SageMaker AI with fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to run ML inference entirely in the encrypted domain. By leveraging the concrete-ml library (API-compatible with scikit-learn), you can train FHE models and deploy them to SageMaker endpoints, ensuring that queries, responses, and intermediate values remain encrypted and unreadable by any observer, including SageMaker itself. The article covers sensitive use cases in healthcare, energy, and telecommunications, and provides step-by-step implementation guidance.
