MIT researchers develop a bumblebee-sized robot weighing under 1 gram that flaps its wings 330 times per second, performs 10 consecutive somersaults in 11 seconds using AI-powered flight control, and could revolutionize search-and-rescue operations by navigating tight spaces within the next decade.
Allen Institute for AI launches Bolmo, revolutionary language models that process raw UTF-8 bytes directly without tokenizers, offering superior multilingual capabilities and handling of text errors through innovative 'bytefying' technology that transforms existing models cost-effectively.
AI image generators now produce nearly undetectable fake images by strategically lowering quality in specific ways, evolving from obviously flawed 256x256 pixel thumbnails with extra fingers to sophisticated fakes that eliminate traditional tells like fuzzy contours and nonsense text.
Zoom AI shatters the previous record on Humanity's Last Exam with a groundbreaking 48.1% score, beating Google's benchmark through revolutionary federated AI technology that combines multiple language models, signaling a major leap toward advanced workplace automation capabilities.
Thinking Machines Lab launches Tinker platform featuring Kimi K2 Thinking, a trillion-parameter AI model with advanced vision capabilities that outperforms traditional models in image processing and classification tasks with limited data.
India launches urgent $1.25 billion AI mission securing 19,000 GPUs to build six large-scale models by 2025, selecting Sarvam AI for a 70-billion-parameter model optimized for the country's 22 official languages after DeepSeek's breakthrough sparks global AI competition.
Nvidia-backed startup Starcloud makes history by successfully training the first AI model in space using an H100 GPU satellite 100 times more powerful than previous space computers, paving the way for massive orbital data centers that could solve Earth's energy crisis.
OpenAI acquires AI training startup Neptune for under $400 million in stock as the ChatGPT maker prepares for a potential trillion-dollar IPO that could rank among the largest public offerings in history.
Meta secretly develops 'Avocado' AI model to replace Llama while spending $14.3 billion to hire Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang as chief AI officer, abandoning open-source strategy after Llama 4's failure and implementing grueling 70-hour workweeks to compete with OpenAI and Google by 2026.
The US Commerce Department prepares to authorize Nvidia H200 AI chip exports to China, dramatically reversing previous restrictions on advanced processors, though Beijing may reject the offering as it shifts toward domestic AI hardware development.
