San Francisco startup Guide Labs has open-sourced Steerling-8B, an 8-billion parameter language model built with a novel architecture that makes every generated token traceable to its training data origins. Founded by Julius Adebayo and Aya Abdelsalam Ismail, the company aims to solve AI's black box problem by engineering interpretability directly into the model rather than analyzing it post-hoc.
Canva announced the acquisition of Cavalry and MangoAI to strengthen its animation and marketing capabilities as software stocks face pressure from artificial intelligence concerns. The deals mark Canva's fourth and fifth acquisitions in two years, expanding its professional creative suite with 2D animation tools and AI-powered video advertising optimization to compete directly with Adobe.
Researchers from Vanderbilt University and partners developed an AI model that predicts bone removal during cochlear implant surgery. The system analyzes CT scans to forecast mastoidectomy shape, achieving a 0.72 Dice score across 751 cases. This medical imaging technology could support robotic surgical tools and improve patient outcomes.
Bharti Airtel and cloud security provider Zscaler unveiled the AI & Cyber Threat Research Center at the India AI Impact Summit. The initiative aims to protect India's critical infrastructure from cyberattacks by leveraging telemetry data and AI technologies. The center will process over 500 billion daily transactions to identify threats targeting telecommunications, banking, and energy sectors.
Tech Mahindra and University College London announced a collaboration to advance joint research in emerging technologies including Generative AI and quantum computing. The partnership will develop domain-specific Small Language Models, world models, and quantum machine learning solutions across healthcare, telecommunications, and manufacturing sectors.
Ranvir Sachdeva, an eight-year-old coder, made history as the youngest speaker at India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi. He addressed global tech leaders about linking ancient Indian philosophies with modern Artificial Intelligence and met Google CEO Sundar Pichai and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman at the event.
ChatGPT solved a complex gluon amplitude problem that had stumped theoretical physicists for decades, proving that certain particle interactions previously thought impossible can actually occur. Working alongside Andrew Strominger and a team of researchers, the AI simplified complex mathematical expressions and generated a proof in just 12 hours—what might have taken humans indefinitely to solve.
Chinese tech giant ByteDance is hiring nearly 100 people for its US-based AI teams within its Seed division, expanding capabilities in large language models, video generation, and drug discovery. The move comes despite ongoing national security concerns and recent intellectual property disputes with Hollywood studios over its Seedance 2.0 video generation tool.
Former Google DeepMind scientist David Silver is raising $1 billion for his startup Ineffable Intelligence, led by Sequoia Capital at a $4 billion valuation. The London-based company aims to build superhuman intelligence using advanced reinforcement learning techniques, with potential backing from Nvidia, Google, and Microsoft despite having no product yet.
Microsoft's Project Silica has demonstrated a breakthrough in glass data storage technology that could preserve information for more than 10,000 years. Using femtosecond lasers to etch data into silica glass plates, the system offers a sustainable alternative to traditional data centres while withstanding extreme temperatures and environmental conditions.
Tempus AI shares climbed Wednesday following the launch of its new HRD-RNA algorithm, an AI-driven tool designed to detect homologous recombination deficiency in tumors. The algorithm analyzes gene expression to identify patients who may benefit from platinum-based chemotherapy or PARP inhibitors, offering a more dynamic assessment than traditional genomic methods.
Researchers used virtual reality to discover that AI-powered prosthetic arms feel most like part of the body when they move at a moderate pace of about one second. The study tested six different speeds and found that both overly fast and slow movements reduced body ownership and usability, revealing critical design insights for future autonomous prosthetics.
Google has released a major upgrade to Gemini 3 Deep Think, its specialized AI reasoning model designed for scientific research. The update achieves record-breaking scores on benchmarks like ARC-AGI-2 (84.6%) and Humanity's Last Exam (48.4%), outperforming OpenAI's GPT-5.2 and Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6. Real-world applications include identifying peer review flaws in mathematics papers and optimizing semiconductor fabrication methods.
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis forecasts artificial general intelligence arriving within 5-8 years, with impact 10 times greater than the Industrial Revolution. The Nobel laureate warns AI's 'jagged intelligence' must be fixed first, while predicting a renaissance in medicine, energy, and space exploration within 10-15 years.
Alibaba unveiled RynnBrain, an artificial intelligence model designed to power robots through enhanced understanding of the physical world. The model set 16 robotics records, surpassing achievements by Google and NVIDIA. RynnBrain addresses critical weaknesses in existing robotics systems through spatiotemporal memory, as China intensifies its push into physical AI to compete with the United States for technological leadership.
