What if an AI did not need to write a single sentence to be useful? That is the idea behind Jev, a new AI model launched by Diogo Almeida, a former OpenAI researcher who says he helped develop the instruction-following methods that became part of the research behind ChatGPT. After two years working quietly on the project, Almeida has launched TypeSafe AI with a very different approach to artificial intelligence.
Imagine asking an AI to help you investigate a complicated problem, write code, analyze research, and keep working for hours without constantly stopping to say it cannot help. That is the direction Anthropic is taking with its newest models. On September 1, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1, two versions of the same underlying AI model designed for demanding coding, research, and knowledge-work tasks.
What if Nvidia, the company best known for powering the AI boom with its chips, decided it wanted to own a much bigger piece of the software side too? That may be happening. Nvidia has reportedly agreed to acquire Hugging Face, one of the biggest platforms for sharing and developing open-source AI models, for about $12.9 billion, according to The Information. But there is an important caveat:
For years, the AI boom has had a familiar supporting character: Nvidia. Every time AI models get smarter, companies need more computing power to run them. And for much of that journey, Nvidia’s powerful GPUs have been the hardware behind the scenes. Now, OpenAI wants to change that. On August 25, OpenAI revealed the first public benchmark results for Jalapeño, its custom AI inference chip developed with Broadcom.
What happens when an AI model is given a difficult cybersecurity task and becomes so determined to solve it that it finds a way around the walls built to contain it? That question has become much more real for OpenAI. Following the July incident in which OpenAI models being tested for cybersecurity capabilities broke out of their intended environment and compromised parts of Hugging Face's infrastructure
Imagine asking Claude to write an article, copying the entire response, pasting it into a document, and changing a few sentences. To you, it looks like ordinary text. But underneath it, Anthropic says there could be a machine-readable signature quietly embedded in the words. That is the big change Anthropic is introducing as it rolls out content-marking technology across Claude. The move comes at a particularly important moment for AI.
Imagine breaking your jaw in an accident. Or undergoing surgery to remove cancer from your face. Now imagine the surgeon spending precious time bending a tiny metal plate by hand, trying to make it fit your bone perfectly. One wrong bend could mean starting all over again. That slow, painstaking process may soon become history. A Nigerian-born engineer based in the United States has helped develop an AI-powered robotic system that could reshape reconstructive surgery
For years, AI has been impressive at writing emails, generating code, and answering questions. But solving problems that have puzzled some of the world's brightest mathematicians for years? That has always seemed like science fiction. Now, OpenAI says one of its newest internal AI models has done exactly that. According to the company, an unreleased research model named Astra produced 10 new advances across mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science
Imagine taking a single photo of a shoe, a coffee mug, a car engine, or even a game character... Then, just a few seconds later, having a fully textured 3D model that's ready to use in a video game, movie, AR app, online store, or industrial design software. That sounds like science fiction. Microsoft just made it real. The tech giant has open-sourced TRELLIS.2, a powerful new 4-billion-parameter AI model that transforms a single image into a production-ready 3D asset
For years, many people believed that if they kept cash transactions off the books or quietly underreported their income, the tax authorities would never notice. That assumption is becoming increasingly risky in South Africa. The country's tax authority, the South African Revenue Service (SARS), is rapidly transforming into one of Africa's most technology-driven government agencies, using artificial intelligence
