Laude Institute announces first batch of ‘Slingshots’ AI grants
On Thursday, the Laude Institute announced its first batch of Slingshots grants, aimed at “advancing…
Writing fast GPU code is one of the most grueling specializations in machine learning engineering. Researchers from RightNow AI want to automate it entirely. The RightNow AI research team has released AutoKernel, an open-source framework that applies an autonomous LLM agent loop to GPU kernel optimization for arbitrary PyTorch models. The approach is straightforward: give…
WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out a noise cancellation feature for voice and video calls to select Android beta users, aimed at improving call clarity in noisy environments. The feature, spotted in WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.26.14.1, is designed to filter out background noise such as traffic, wind, and ambient sounds during calls. According to…
Social media platform X swiftly backtracked on its announcement regarding new rules for creator monetization, which had focused on payouts based on engagement from a creator’s local audience. Late Tuesday, X Head of Product Nikita Bier announced that, starting Thursday, the platform will change its policy around payouts and will give more emphasis to impressions…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are the world’s best mimics, but when it comes to the cold, hard logic of updating beliefs based on new evidence, they are surprisingly stubborn. A team of researchers from Google argue that the current crop of AI agents falls far short of ‘probabilistic reasoning’—the ability to maintain and update a…
Nothing has officially launched the Nothing Phone (4a) in India, the company’s latest mid-range smartphone and the successor to the Nothing Phone (3a). The new device brings several upgrades, including a larger display, improved Glyph lighting, a more powerful processor, and a bigger battery. The Phone (4a) also introduces a new Glyph Bar design, an upgraded…
Sarvam, an Indian AI startup focused on building models for local languages and users, on Friday launched its Indus chat app for web and mobile users, entering a fast-growing market dominated by global players including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. The launch comes as India has become a key battleground for generative AI adoption. Recently, OpenAI…
Robots are entering their GPT-3 era. For years, researchers have tried to train robots using the same autoregressive (AR) models that power large language models (LLMs). If a model can predict the next word in a sentence, it should be able to predict the next move for a robotic arm….
ASUS has announced pre-bookings in India for its latest lineup of Zenbook and Vivobook laptops powered by AMD Ryzen AI processors. Headlining the portfolio is the ASUS Zenbook S16 (UM5606GA), alongside new Zenbook and Vivobook models aimed at AI-assisted productivity, creative workflows, multitasking, and everyday computing. The new range brings Copilot+ PC capabilities, dedicated NPUs,…
Meta’s Oversight Board is tackling a case focused on Meta’s ability to permanently disable user accounts. Permanent bans are a drastic action, locking people out of their profiles, memories, friend connections, and, in the case of creators and businesses, their ability to market and communicate with fans and customers. This is the first time in…
In this tutorial, we demonstrate a realistic data poisoning attack by manipulating labels in the CIFAR-10 dataset and observing its impact on model behavior. We construct a clean and a poisoned training pipeline side by side, using a ResNet-style convolutional network to ensure stable, comparable learning dynamics. By selectively flipping a fraction of samples from…
