In the end, Android and iPhone customers will be capable of ship one another end-to-end encrypted textual content messages. On Monday, end-to-end encrypted messaging is beginning to roll out in beta for conversations between iPhone and Android customers working probably the most up-to-date software program. Finish-to-end encrypted (e2ee) messaging is a crucial privateness function that…
Elon Musk’s trial against OpenAI and Microsoft entered its final stretch on Monday, with testimony from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, and current OpenAI chairman Bret Taylor.

Simply two months after itemizing its first enterprise fund on the inventory market, Robinhood is making ready to launch a second. The corporate has filed a confidential registration for RVII, an ordinary regulatory step that enables it to work by the approval course of earlier than making particulars public. Unlike its first fund, which at the moment…
A team of researchers from Meta, Stanford University, and the University of Washington have introduced three new methods that substantially accelerate generation in the Byte Latent Transformer (BLT) — a language model architecture that operates directly on raw bytes instead of tokens. Byte-Level Models Are Slow at Inference To understand what this new research solves,…
Normal Motors has laid off greater than 10% of its IT division, or about 600 salaried workers — in a deliberate expertise swap: clearing out staff whose experience now not matches and making room for some with AI-focused backgrounds. GM confirmed to TechCrunch that it had performed layoffs; they had been first reported by Bloomberg…

The apparently insatiable demand for AI compute has information middle entrepreneurs seeking to the celebrities. There’s a key drawback: There aren’t sufficient rockets to place information facilities in orbit round Earth, and so they’re too costly. A lot of the gamers are hoping that SpaceX’s Starship — anticipated to make its twelfth check flight as…
Modern large language models are no longer trained only on raw internet text. Increasingly, companies are using powerful “teacher” models to help train smaller or more efficient “student” models. This process, broadly known as LLM distillation or model-to-model training, has become a key technique for building high-performing models at lower computational cost. Meta used its…
Digg is back from the dead. Again. Just months after launching, the reboot of Kevin Rose’s once-popular link-sharing site shut down in March, as the company shifted course.
