AI-generated films and ads are fooling millions of viewers as the line between real and artificial content rapidly disappears, putting Hollywood's $200 billion industry at a crossroads over a technology that now produces convincing cinema for just $4,000.
ZOZO launches ppf-contact-solver, a free open-source GPU-accelerated physics engine that handles over 180 million contacts, deployable on cloud platforms and Windows, with Blender integration, LLM-driven simulation support, and commercial-friendly Apache 2.0 licensing.
AI agents are revolutionizing software testing as autonomous systems with perception-action loops replace brittle scripted automation, helping engineering teams slash regression cycles, reduce production bugs, and ship faster as code generation outpaces human verification.
Frigate NVR, a free open-source AI security camera system using real-time object detection with OpenCV and TensorFlow, surges in popularity with over 33,000 GitHub stars and contributions from 745 developers worldwide.
A Waymo robotaxi ride to Google I/O turns into a $102.72 nightmare as the self-driving vehicle gets lost in a parking lot, takes a wrong turn, and arrives 37 minutes late, exposing critical limitations of autonomous vehicles in real-world, time-sensitive conditions.
Meta's SAM 3 is now live on GitHub, a groundbreaking AI model that detects, segments, and tracks objects across 4 million unique concepts in images and videos, achieving up to 80% of human performance — with an updated SAM 3.1 delivering even faster multi-object tracking via a new shared-memory approach.
GraphGlyph, a new open-source Python tool, encodes text into visually stunning, fully reversible unit-distance graph images — with every line of code written by GPT-4.5 — using Unicode normalization, UTF-8 encoding, and optional compression to produce customizable SVG and JSON outputs.
Luma AI CEO Amit Jain says viral AI video clips are no threat to Hollywood yet, as 10-to-16-second generated clips fall far short of real film production needs, prompting AI companies to pivot toward building full production pipeline tools instead.
Uber launches 'AV Lab,' deploying sensor-equipped vehicles across its ridehail network to collect real-world driving data for robotaxi partners, targeting 2 million miles of data per month by end of 2026.
Meta AI unveils WavFlow, a groundbreaking multimodal framework that generates synchronized, high-fidelity audio directly from video and text inputs, matching top latent-based models on major benchmarks while making its codebase publicly available on GitHub.
