Palantir AI to support UK finance operations

UK authorities believe improving efficiency across national finance operations requires applying AI platforms from vendors like Palantir. The country’s financial regulator, the FCA, has initiated a project leveraging AI to identify illicit activities. The FCA is currently testing the Foundry platform from Miami-based software vendor Palantir. This three-month pilot costs upwards of £30,000 per week […]

How to Design a Production-Ready AI Agent That Automates Google Colab Workflows Using Colab-MCP, MCP Tools, FastMCP, and Kernel Execution

In this tutorial, we build an advanced, hands-on tutorial around Google’s newly released colab-mcp, an open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets any AI agent programmatically control Google Colab notebooks and runtimes. Across five self-contained snippets, we go from first principles to production-ready patterns. We start by constructing a minimal MCP tool registry from […]

Luma Labs Launches Uni-1: The Autoregressive Transformer Model that Reasons through Intentions Before Generating Images

In the field of generative AI media, the industry is transitioning from purely probabilistic pixel synthesis toward models capable of structural reasoning. Luma Labs has just released Uni-1, a foundational image model designed to address the ‘intent gap” inherent in standard diffusion pipelines. By implementing a reasoning phase prior to generation, Uni-1 shifts the workflow […]

Meta AI’s New Hyperagents Don’t Just Solve Tasks—They Rewrite the Rules of How They Learn

The dream of recursive self-improvement in AI—where a system doesn’t just get better at a task, but gets better at learning—has long been the ‘holy grail’ of the field. While theoretical models like the Gödel Machine have existed for decades, they remained largely impractical in real-world settings. That changed with the Darwin Gödel Machine (DGM), […]

Confronting the CEO of the AI company that impersonated me

Today, I’m talking with Shishir Mehrotra, who is CEO of Superhuman — that’s the company formerly known as Grammarly, which is still its flagship product.  Shishir also used to be the chief product officer at YouTube, and he’s on the board of directors at Spotify. He’s a fascinating guy, and we actually scheduled this interview […]

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says ‘I think we’ve achieved AGI’

On a Monday episode of the Lex Fridman podcast, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made a hot-button statement: “I think we’ve achieved AGI.” AGI, or artificial general intelligence, is a vaguely defined term that has incited a lot of discussion by tech CEOs, tech workers, and the general public in recent years, as it typically denotes […]

The Bay Area’s animal welfare movement wants to recruit AI

In early February, animal welfare advocates and AI researchers gathered in stocking feet at Mox, a scrappy, shoes-free coworking space in San Francisco. Yellow and red canopies billowed overhead, Persian rugs blanketed the floor, and mosaic lamps glowed beside potted plants.  In the common area, a wildlife advocate spoke passionately to a crowd lounging in…

Meet GitAgent: The Docker for AI Agents that is Finally Solving the Fragmentation between LangChain, AutoGen, and Claude Code

The current state of AI agent development is characterized by significant architectural fragmentation. Software devs building autonomous systems must generally commit to one of several competing ecosystems: LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, OpenAI Assistants, or the more recent Claude Code. Each of these ‘Five Frameworks’ utilizes a proprietary method for defining agent logic, memory persistence, and tool […]

Implementing Deep Q-Learning (DQN) from Scratch Using RLax JAX Haiku and Optax to Train a CartPole Reinforcement Learning Agent

In this tutorial, we implement a reinforcement learning agent using RLax, a research-oriented library developed by Google DeepMind for building reinforcement learning algorithms with JAX. We combine RLax with JAX, Haiku, and Optax to construct a Deep Q-Learning (DQN) agent that learns to solve the CartPole environment. Instead of using a fully packaged RL framework, […]

Crimson Desert dev apologizes for use of AI art

Reviews of Crimson Desert have been mixed, but the bigger issue for the game has been the discovery of what appeared to be AI-generated assets in the final release. Now the developer has acknowledged that AI art was indeed used during the game’s creation, but says that it was intended to be replaced before release. […]
