Earlier this week, at TechCrunch’s newest StrictlyVC event in El Segundo, Shinkei Systems founder Saif Khawaja and Founders Fund partner Delian Asparouhov sat down for a conversation that kept circling back to a question that doesn’t usually come up at a venture event: How do you know if a fish is stressed out? It’s a…
John Jumper, who shared a current Nobel Prize in chemistry, introduced Friday that he’s making the leap to Anthropic after “practically 9 years” at Google DeepMind. In a post on X, Jumper wrote that DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis “took an actual probability letting me lead the AlphaFold staff simply six months after ending my PhD,…
While Apple’s new Siri AI and Apple Intelligence announcements dominated the WWDC spotlight earlier this month, the tech giant also packed iOS 27 with a number of upgrades across its everyday apps and services, including smarter bill splitting in Apple Wallet, new ways to share locations in Find My, and improved Apple Maps features. Apple…

I rapidly discovered that Siri AI’s bite-sized replies don’t drone on endlessly like many up to date AI assistants, typically sticking to a single paragraph. Once I verbally requested for a pleasant seashore hike path to see the dawn close to the Golden Gate Bridge, it succinctly advisable a well-liked path within the Presidio neighborhood…
TLDR YaFF is Yandex’s open-source zero-copy wire format for Protobuf — Apache 2.0, currently C++, v0.1.0. The .proto file stays the source of truth; only the physical memory layout changes. On Yandex’s benchmarks, the Flat Layout reads hot data ~3.8× faster than FlatBuffers, within 1.2× of a raw C++ struct. Four layouts — Fixed, Flat,…
While recent breakthroughs in AI reasoning have largely been driven by massive scale, pouring in billions of parameters to cross complex cognitive thresholds—VibeThinker-3B is charting a completely different path. Created by researchers from Sina Weibo Inc (China), this 3-billion-parameter model proves that efficiency can punch far above its weight class. Released under an open-source MIT…
You’ve most likely used VLC Media Participant, the free video participant with the orange traffic-cone icon — it’s been downloaded greater than 6 billion occasions. However in keeping with its lead developer, Jean-Baptiste Kempf, robots will quickly be nearly as ubiquitous as his open supply video software program. Satisfied that “a whole lot of tens…
NVIDIA Research has released SpatialClaw, a training-free framework for spatial reasoning. It targets a persistent weakness in vision-language models (VLMs). These models still struggle to judge where objects are, how they relate, and how they move in 3D. SpatialClaw does not retrain the model. Instead, it changes the action interface the agent uses to call…
Last Friday, citing unspecified national security concerns, the White House ordered Anthropic to restrict the export of its powerful AI models Fable and Mythos to anyone outside of the United States, as well as foreign nationals inside the country. Shortly after, the AI giant hastily pulled the plug on both models, which have now been…
