India’s digital payment share has increased over the years, with the Unified Payment Interface (UPI) growing to over 750 million daily transactions. With an aim to reach over a billion daily transactions, Dilip Asbe, MD and CEO of the National Payments Corporation of India, which oversees UPI, thinks AI would be heavily involved in the…

Liquid AI shipped LFM2.5-230M, it’s the company’s smallest model to date. The release targets a specific job: running agentic tasks on phones, robots, and automation devices. Both the base and instruction-tuned checkpoints are open-weight on Hugging Face. The pitch is narrow on purpose. This is not a general reasoning model. It is built for data…

Instagram users could soon see more ways to tune their content, according to a recent post from Instagram head Adam Mosseri.

Not everyone is buying Elon Musk’s vision for orbital data centers.  Masayoshi Son, the founder and CEO of Softbank, argued at a recent shareholder meeting that building data centers in space won’t do much to cut costs and will take too long when “in the battle for AI, the next few years will be far…

DeepSeek released DSpark, a speculative decoding framework, with open-source checkpoints and training code. It is a serving optimization, not a new model. The checkpoints DeepSeek-V4-Pro-DSpark and DeepSeek-V4-Flash-DSpark reuse the existing V4 weights, with a draft module attached. The DeepSeek research team also open-sourced DeepSpec, an MIT-licensed codebase for training and evaluating speculative decoding drafters. The…

Conno Christou doesn’t leave things to chance. He tracks his sleep with a Whoop band, cross-references it with an Oura ring, and gets nearly 100 biomarkers checked every year. He had been doing the annual bloodwork for four consecutive years, following the protocols of longevity researchers like Peter Attia and Rhonda Patrick. He was optimizing…

Take a stroll around San Francisco and it won’t take long to spot an empty autonomous vehicle cruising the city’s streets, waiting to be hailed by a rider or heading off to a distant depot to be charged and cleaned. These deadhead miles — an industry term for miles driven without a paying passenger —…

On Wednesday, Chinese cybersecurity firm 360 reportedly unveiled Tulongfeng, an AI tool it says can go head-to-head with Anthropic’s Mythos. That’s the cybersecurity-focused AI model that is reportedly so powerful, the Trump Administration has currently banned it and its more restricted version, Fable 5, from the hands of non-Americans. Earlier the same week Sakana AI,…
