Artificial intelligence models have become increasingly powerful, but they have also grown larger, more expensive and more dependent on cloud infrastructure. Cactus Compute is taking a different approach with the launch of Needle 2, an open-source AI model designed specifically for tool calling, device control and structured data extraction while running entirely on low-power hardware. … Read more

Google has introduced Gemini 3.7 Flash, the latest addition to its Flash family of artificial intelligence models, with a strong focus on software engineering, AI agents, document processing and web development. The new model arrives only three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash and is positioned as an algorithmic improvement to its predecessor rather than an … Read more

Samsung is advancing the use of artificial intelligence in wearable health technology with two new health foundation models designed to understand biosignals collected from devices such as smartwatches. The research focuses on physiological data linked to heart activity, sleep and physical movement, with the broader goal of enabling more continuous, personalised and preventive health insights. … Read more

Grok 4.6 is the latest major model release from SpaceXAI, designed around a clear goal: making AI agents more capable of staying with difficult tasks for longer periods instead of simply producing a strong answer to a single prompt.

Among the platforms that led this revolution, Viggle AI became one of the most popular tools for creating dancing photos, … Read more

Google is taking another step toward AI-powered healthcare with AMIE (Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer) Video, a research system designed to conduct real-time clinical consultations through video. In a controlled study involving professional patient actors, Google reported that AMIE received clinical evaluation scores comparable to primary care physicians across several important measures. The research explores whether … Read more

Real-time voice AI is moving beyond the traditional pipeline of automatic speech recognition, large language models, and text-to-speech systems. NVIDIA is pushing that transition further with NemotronLabs VoiceChat 11B, an open 11-billion-parameter speech-to-speech model designed for natural, real-time and full-duplex conversations. Unlike a conventional voice assistant that first converts speech into text, sends that text … Read more

Large language models are rapidly changing the way recommendation and retrieval systems work. Instead of relying entirely on traditional embedding-based search and nearest-neighbor indexing, modern generative retrieval systems can use large language models (LLMs) to directly generate identifiers for recommended items. This approach has significant advantages, but it also introduces a major engineering challenge: how … Read more

The pharmaceutical industry is rapidly embracing artificial intelligence, and Novo Nordisk is taking another major step toward integrating AI into drug discovery and research. The Danish healthcare company is expanding its use of Amazon Web Services (AWS) artificial intelligence technologies to support scientific research, target identification, therapy design, biological analysis, and other research workflows. Under … Read more

OpenAI has expanded access to ChatGPT by introducing unlimited text conversations for users on its free plan, removing one of the most noticeable restrictions that users previously encountered when interacting with the AI assistant. The change could make ChatGPT considerably more useful for students, professionals, content creators, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and everyday users who depend on … Read more
