NHS AI blood test could reduce invasive womb cancer checks

Several NHS hospitals are preparing to use an AI-powered blood test to help assess women referred for possible womb cancer before invasive checks are carried out. According to The Guardian, around 90,000 postmenopausal women in England are referred by GPs each year for checks after experiencing heavy bleeding. About 10,000 women are diagnosed with womb […]

Robbyant Releases LingBot-VLA 2.0: An Open-Source 6B Vision-Language-Action (VLA) Model for Cross-Embodiment Robot Manipulation

Ant Group’s Robbyant has released LingBot-VLA 2.0, an Apache-2.0 vision-language-action model for cross-embodiment robot manipulation. The 6B checkpoint is pretrained on roughly 60,000 hours of data, spanning 50,000 hours of robot trajectories across 20 robot configurations and 10,000 hours of egocentric human video. It maps every embodiment into a single 55-dimensional canonical action space, covering arms, dexterous hands, waists, heads, and mobile bases. A token-level, auxiliary-loss-free Mixture-of-Experts action expert scales capacity without adding a load-balancing loss. Dual-query distillation from LingBot-Depth and DINO-Video adds geometric and temporal supervision for future-aware control. On the GM-100 generalist benchmark it outperforms π0.5 and LingBot-VLA-1.0 on both evaluated platforms.

Datalab Lift vs the Field: How a 9B Schema-First Extractor Compares with NuExtract3, LlamaExtract, Marker, and Docling

Datalab’s Lift is a focused document extraction tool with a specific promise: give it a PDF or image plus a JSON Schema, and it returns schema-shaped JSON directly. Instead of converting a document to Markdown first and then asking another model to extract fields, Lift reads rendered page images and attempts to emit the final […]

NVIDIA Releases Nemotron-Labs-3-Puzzle-75B-A9B: A Compressed Hybrid MoE LLM Delivering 2.03x Server Throughput at Matched User Throughput

NVIDIA has released Nemotron-Labs-3-Puzzle-75B-A9B, a compressed variant of Nemotron-3-Super. Iterative Puzzle alternates hardware-aware structural compression with short knowledge distillation recovery phases. The model drops from 120.7B total / 12.8B active parameters to 75.3B / 9.3B. On a single 8xB200 node it delivers 2.03x Super’s total throughput at 100 tok/s per user. On one H100, 1M-token concurrency rises from 1 request to 8.

Why this CEO thinks video games make better training data than the internet

When it comes to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), large language models just don’t have what it takes. Models like ChatGPT and Claude are great at text, but they’re less skilled at understanding how things actually move through space and time — an essential skill for producing intelligence that generalizes. That gap, it turns out, might be filled by gaming data. That’s the bet behind General Intuition, a […]

Netflix AI Team Cuts Wide-Partition Read Latency from Seconds to Milliseconds by Splitting Cassandra Partitions Per ID

Netflix engineers detailed how they handle wide partitions in Apache Cassandra for the TimeSeries Abstraction. Two approaches work together: Time Slice re-partitioning tunes future partitions at the table level, while dynamic partitioning detects and splits oversized partitions per TimeSeries ID on the read path. Detection runs via byte counting and Kafka, splits are checksum-validated, and Bloom filters route reads to parallel child partitions. Average read latency dropped from seconds to low double-digit milliseconds, with 500MB+ partitions staying available.

ChatGPT’s upgraded voice mode is better at shutting up

OpenAI is overhauling ChatGPT’s voice mode with a new model that it says is more like “talking to another person.” The new GPT-Live-1 is designed to interrupt you less and will also wait for you to continue speaking if you pause mid-conversation. During a press briefing, OpenAI research lead Kundan Kumar called GPT-Live-1 the company’s […]
