A proposed bill that would allow autonomous vehicles to operate in Washington, D.C. has become a test case for Uber’s broader robotaxi strategy. Instead of simply partnering with, and investing in, robotaxi developers, Uber is also trying to shape the rules that govern them, an effort that puts it in direct opposition with its business…
Agentic LLMs often fail the same way, again and again. A Stanford research team traced this to missing, reusable capabilities. Their system, TRACE, diagnoses those gaps and trains for them directly. TRACE stands for Turning Recurrent Agent failures into Capability-targeted training Environments. It was released open-source under an MIT license. What problem does TRACE solve?…
Prime Intellect launched verifiers 0.2.0. It previews a rewritten core, shipped under the new verifiers.v1 namespace. Modern evaluations now run coding agents with tools, compaction, and subagents. Accordingly, v1 rebuilds environments to run these agentic workloads at scale. What is verifiers v1? First, consider what verifiers is: Prime Intellect’s environment stack for agentic reinforcement learning…
Frontier models learn mostly from public internet data. However, clinical neuroimaging rarely appears there, because MRI and CT scans contain identifiable facial features. Consequently, general models underperform on brain-imaging tasks. A University of Michigan research team addresses this gap with NeuroVFM, published in Nature Medicine. What is NeuroVFM? At its core, NeuroVFM is a generalist…
Most people still use AI like a 2015 search box. You type, you read, you type again. A newer pattern replaces that manual back-and-forth with a loop. This guide explains loop engineering using two verified artifacts. The sources are Andrej Karpathy’s autoresearch repository and the Bilevel Autoresearch paper. The framing follows a write-up by @0xCodila….

Scientists have efficiently proven a quantum pc can enhance the accuracy and attain of generative synthetic intelligence drug discovery fashions. They usually did it utilizing their spare money and time leftover from different tasks. The Technical College of Denmark workforce ran their generative AI mannequin for predicting proteins along with a printer-sized quantum pc constructed…
Thinking Machines Lab published a report to build AI that extends human will and judgment. Most AI in use today is trained in a handful of places, then frozen. The report argues that this design excludes the people a model serves. Instead, the Thinking Machines lab researchers want AI that is distributed, customizable, and shaped…
Reed Jobs is easy to like. He’s motormouthed, self-deprecating, prone to video-game analogies, and clearly loves his work. He doesn’t particularly want to discuss the fact that he is Steve Jobs’s son, but he’s not uptight about it, either. When our producer, Maggie, asked if he was on a MacBook for our video call Thursday…
