Steve Yegge shut down Gas Town and said that despite spending thousands monthly on coding agent subscriptions, Gas Town was the only thing he built with it. Databricks reported a roughly 60% increase in overall coding spend after its AI engineers switched to Astra.
A rewrite this size wasn't affordable before agents. Here's what porting the Copilot agent runtime to 800,000 lines of production Rust actually took. The post Migrating the GitHub Copilot runtime to Rust, using Copilot appeared first on The GitHub Blog .
OpenAI for Law brings frontier intelligence for law, custom firm workflows, connected legal data sources, and legal-grade controls for confidential client work.
NVIDIA describes an agentic AI workflow that prepares Blender 3D scenes for robotics simulation, using Codex or Claude to coordinate subagents that add semantic labels, physics properties and sensors, then hand off OpenUSD scenes to Isaac Sim or Isaac Lab.
NVIDIA said TensorRT Edge-LLM ran Qwen3.6-27B on a single Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit in the MLPerf Inference v6.1 Edge Agentic benchmark at 52.33 tokens per second, completing 1,007 turns in 24 minutes 36 seconds. NVIDIA reported this as 6.4x faster than the llama.cpp reference run of 2 hours 37 minutes.
AIUC, the Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company, announced a $40 million Series A led by Ribbit Capital and First Harmonic. Cofounder Rune Kvist said the company works with Cursor, Harvey, Lovable and ElevenLabs on AIUC-1, its standard for AI agent security, safety and reliability.
NVIDIA describes an agent skill in its TileGym repository that translates cuTile Python and Triton-TileIR GPU kernels into cuTile Rust. All 24 public TileGym operators were ported, reaching 99.5% of cuTile Python performance on average on NVIDIA DGX B200 hardware.
System performance, efficient infrastructure scaling and continuous software optimization are key levers that determine AI inference economics. Higher system performance means more tokens generated, resulting in higher revenue. Efficient scaling means throughput grows proportionally as hardware gets added, requiring fewer resources to serve users at scale. Continuous optimization means generating more value from infrastructure investments. […]
MIT and collaborating researchers developed xvr, an AI technique that matches intraoperative 2D X-rays with a patient's preoperative 3D CT or MRI scan in seconds with sub-millimeter precision. A paper on the method appears in Nature.
AI factories are the infrastructure of the intelligence era. Scaling them responsibly will depend as much on innovation across the grid as inside the data center. Today, Emerald AI, Google and NVIDIA announced the launch of the AI Energy Management Alliance (AEMA), a first-of-its-kind coalition advancing data centers that can dynamically manage their electricity use […]
Open, private and multilingual AI is coming to your web browser. Mistral and Mozilla team up to put powerful, trustworthy AI where you already browse.
Air pollution is a serious public health risk, contributing to an estimated 30,000 deaths in the U.K. alone last year. Data-driven insights can help — but computing air quality with traditional chemistry-based models is expensive, which limits how detailed they can be and how regularly they can be run. David Topping, a professor in the […]
Naoki Egami has become a standout in political methodology, helping refine tools that give scholars durable results.
Know everything. Do anything. That was the message NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang brought to Salesforce Dreamforce Tuesday, joining CEO Marc Benioff onstage in an appearance that coincided with the announcement of Koa — Salesforce’s first CRM reasoning model, built on NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super. Huang didn’t just take the stage. He walked into […]
Good Start Labs trained an AI on a railroad game — and one version improved at financial research. The difference was the training design.
Algorithms & Theory
How can a 30B-parameter model activate only 3B parameters per token, and still use the capacity of the larger model? Nemotron 3.5 Lightning illustrates the...
On a sweltering August evening in Silicon Valley, as the sun dropped and air conditioning loads spiked, Silicon Valley Power sent a signal to an AI factory to adjust its power consumption. Varun Sivaram was watching on Zoom with about forty others — his team at Emerald AI in their San Francisco conference room, engineers […]
