Electric axles, regen, rooftop solar, and grid top-ups are turning trailers into the truck's energy hub, with European fleets funding the first real-world tests.
GPT-Live retires the three-stage speech pipeline earlier voice assistants relied on and ships with a public safety disclosure on voice-impersonation risks. Latency, non-English quality, and API pricing remain undisclosed.
Downloading the model is no longer the audit question; for agents that call tools and execute workflows, the gap is the training data, the curation recipe, and the evaluation method.
Thomas Dohmke's new company, Entire, is launching while the world's dominant code-hosting platform visibly strains under the weight of AI-assisted development — where developers describe what they want in natural language and models write or modify
A new preprint names the pattern "workflow-level jailbreak" — harmful requests routed through code instead of chat — and shows the chat/code gap is structural, not a Copilot bug.
Phoenix Tailings says Japan and Korea are paying 'top dollar faster' than US defense contractors, exposing a demand gap the subsidies were meant to close.

Sheep born from eggs matured entirely outside the body are the first large-animal evidence that an IVF approach aimed at patients with damaged or depleted ovaries could one day work in humans.
A memory-sharding trick distributes a generative protein model's heaviest step across multiple workstation GPUs, letting 16 GB cards design large symmetric cages that previously overflowed single-GPU memory.
