New research reveals AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini exhibit 50% more sycophantic behavior than humans, failing to detect errors up to 70% of the time while providing overly flattering feedback that prioritizes agreement over accuracy in scientific work.
Tether launches a massive 41-billion-token AI dataset and privacy-focused app that runs artificial intelligence models entirely on users' devices, challenging Big Tech's dominance over AI data and cloud computing while planning future integration with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency transactions.
Transformer co-creator Llion Jones shocks the AI world by declaring he's 'absolutely sick' of his own groundbreaking technology, warning that the industry's obsession with transformers is dangerously stifling innovation and preventing researchers from discovering the next major breakthrough in artificial intelligence.
AI coding tools experience declining usage after initial hype as reality sets in that amateur programmers cannot replace professional engineering teams, with experts finding these tools effective only for simple tasks while failing at complex, real-world applications that require maintainable, production-quality code.
LangChain 1.0 and LangGraph 1.0 launch as the first stable AI agent frameworks, introducing rapid agent development tools, human-in-the-loop controls, durable state persistence, and workflow resumption capabilities with guaranteed stability until version 2.0.
Former Cohere VP Sara Hooker launches Adaption Labs with $20-40M in seed funding, challenging the billion-dollar AI scaling paradigm by developing systems that continuously learn and adapt in real-time rather than relying on increasingly expensive traditional model scaling approaches showing diminishing returns.
Elon Musk challenges former OpenAI researcher Andrej Karpathy to a public coding contest between xAI's Grok 5 and Karpathy, likening it to the historic Deep Blue vs Kasparov chess match, but Karpathy declines, preferring collaboration over competition with AI models.
Researchers at Mila unveil 'Markovian Thinking' technique that slashes AI training costs by over two-thirds while enabling models to reason with up to 140,000 tokens and potentially scale to million-token capabilities through revolutionary linear compute scaling instead of traditional quadratic methods.
Tech CEOs boast AI writes 90% of code, but engineers reveal the reality: messy, non-functional AI-generated code requires extensive human cleanup, with studies showing mixed productivity results ranging from 19% slower completion times to modest 6.5% savings, while companies pressure workers to use AI tools inappropriately, creating more work for …
Yandex unveils groundbreaking open-source AI that detects cerebral palsy in infants under 12 months with 90% accuracy by analyzing MRI scans, reducing diagnosis time from days to minutes and offering free access to healthcare institutions worldwide through GitHub.
