Meta is making a big move to expand the capabilities of its display glasses by allowing third-party developers to create apps for them. Previously, only Meta-made apps were available, but now developers can experiment with display-powered apps that work with the device’s Neural Band controller. This opens up new possibilities for the glasses, which have

Scientists have developed a new type of sensor that sticks directly onto plant leaves. These tiny, flexible patches act like live sensors, measuring how much water the plant has. This could help farmers and conservationists monitor plant health in real time without damaging the leaves. How the Graphene Leaf Sensor Works The sensor is made
Isomorphic Labs, a London-based company focused on using artificial intelligence for drug discovery, has raised $2.1 billion in a Series B funding round. This significant investment aims to expand their AI-driven drug design engine and speed up the process of bringing new medicines to market. Founded by Nobel laureate Sir Demis Hassabis in 2021, the
Researchers from China have developed a new open-source medical language model called AntAngelMed. This model is designed to handle complex medical queries with impressive efficiency and size. It stands out because of its unique architecture, which allows it to be both powerful and resource-friendly. What Makes AntAngelMed Special AntAngelMed has a whopping 103 billion parameters,
Large language models (LLMs) are changing how artificial intelligence is built. Instead of training from scratch on endless data, companies now use a technique called model distillation. This method helps smaller, faster models learn from bigger, more powerful ones. The goal is to keep the impressive abilities of large models while making them easier and
In a recent move, Novo Nordisk has transferred its experimental Parkinson’s disease cell therapy program to Cellular Intelligence, a biotech startup backed by Mark Zuckerberg. The deal marks a shift in focus for Novo, which had been developing a stem-cell-based treatment called STEM-PD before shutting down its cell-therapy unit last year. The transfer allows Cellular
NVIDIA has introduced a new method called Star Elastic, which allows multiple sizes of language models to be stored and used from a single checkpoint. Instead of training and maintaining separate models for different sizes, Star Elastic embeds smaller variants within a larger one. This approach can save time, storage, and compute costs, making it
Reducing the size and increasing the speed of AI models is a key goal in today’s machine learning world. One effective way to do this is through model quantization, which minimizes the model’s memory footprint and boosts inference performance. This process is especially useful for deploying AI on resource-limited devices like gaming PCs or edge
Traveling by high-speed train from Hangzhou to Shanghai, Nathan Lambert reflects on his visit to China’s leading AI labs. The scenery includes dramatic mountains, wind turbines, and bustling cities. His trip offered a rare glimpse into the Chinese AI ecosystem and the people shaping its future. The Culture Behind Chinese AI Innovation Chinese companies working
The idea that artificial intelligence might someday improve itself has been around for decades. Researchers have long wondered if machines could become smart enough to design better versions of themselves without human help. Recently, new advancements suggest that this process is getting closer to reality, sparking both excitement and caution in the tech world. The
