By giving creators access to this AI companion app, Meta is looking to keep creators active on Facebook as it competes for their attention against rivals like…
Figma on Wednesday showed off an update that adds a new code layer, support for motion and shaders, and the ability to create custom plugins for various tasks using AI. The design platform has been working on bringing code integration into its tool for a while. Last year, it unveiled an AI prompt-based prototyping tool,…
Zoox has given its custom-built robotaxi a makeover — and not just to make it look sharper. The Amazon-owned company revealed Wednesday a series of upgrades to the comfort and function of its electric, autonomous vehicle based on rider feedback and ahead of what it hopes will be a commercial launch later this year. The…
Qualcomm will purchase the Silicon Valley chip startup Modular for almost $4 billion. The businesses introduced the acquisition on Wednesday; Qualcomm said it expects to subject as much as 19.2 million shares of widespread inventory within the deal, which works out to only below $4 billion primarily based on the corporate’s final closing share value….
Slate Auto, the EV startup backed by billionaire Jeff Bezos, has lastly revealed the beginning worth of its electrical truck: $24,950. That’s excluding taxes, title, license, registration, governmental charges, vacation spot expenses, documentation charges, and any non-compulsory gear, in line with the corporate. Slate began taking preorders for the truck on Wednesday. Crucially, Slate additionally…
Autoregressive large language models generate text one token at a time. Each token waits for the one before it. This serial loop leaves modern GPUs underused and keeps inference slow. The cost grows worse with long Chain-of-Thought reasoning models. Their lengthy outputs make latency the dominant part of generation. Speculative decoding is the standard fix….

Nous Research has expanded the Skills System inside Hermes Agent, its open-source self-improving agent. The new addition is /learn, a command that writes a reusable skill for you. Point it at a document page, a local SDK, a past conversation, or pasted notes. The live agent gathers the material, then authors a SKILL.md on your…
Generative AI has reshaped how software gets built. What began as line-by-line autocomplete now spans full application generation, multi-agent build pipelines, and natural-language interfaces to entire codebases. Large language models trained on code can read context, follow intent, and produce working frontends, backends, and infrastructure with little manual setup. For early-level AI engineers, software engineers,…
TechCrunch’s StrictlyVC evening in Los Angeles late last week brought together two of the more straight-talking investors working in AI right now.
