Greer's Markets will run a six-month beta of Alpha Modus's ARIA retail intelligence platform in three Alabama grocery stores, linking camera, POS, inventory and pricing data to flag inefficiencies. Expansion to up to 29 stores will be assessed afterward.
A community release updated the Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-GSQ-RCO-Coder-GGUF model, changing about 25% of retained experts while leaving retained weights unmodified versus the base IQ3_S model. Due to a limited expert budget, the model remains English-only and multilingual capabilities were not preserved.
A rebound in major chipmakers lifted US stocks as dip buyers bet the AI investment boom will keep supporting earnings. The rally follows a prior selloff, signaling continued investor confidence in AI-driven growth.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker spoke with Decoder about AI, tech and privacy, saying AI could help people live to 100 or pose nuclear-scale threats. He framed some challenges as collective action problems requiring government, amid a political realignment ahead of the midterms.
inclusionAI released Ming-3.0-audio-flash, a native audio-language Mixture-of-Experts model with 126B total parameters and 6.5B activated per inference. It handles Chinese and English speech recognition, audio understanding and reasoning, with optional synthesized speech, and is available under the MIT license on Hugging Face and ModelScope.
AI security firm Norforge found that a hacker breached more than 100 websites using a swarm of largely autonomous AI agents; Reuters reported victims including John Deere, SharkNinja and Cummins. The case highlights the rising scale and automation of AI-powered cyberattacks and corporate security concerns.
doubleAI launched Maxwell, a so-called Code Execution Model that sits between code and hardware and speeds up programs without changing a single line. It adapts dynamically to hardware and inputs using traces, profiling data and data flow. Early access is open.
The Trump administration barred civilian US government agencies from using products or services from Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, whose cheaper open-weight models increasingly challenge Silicon Valley developers.
Peter Tchir, head of macro strategy at Academy Securities, said he is nervous about a potential selloff in AI-related debt and sees faux liquidity in markets. He made the remarks on Bloomberg Surveillance.
ASML's latest earnings show customers placing orders years in advance amid strong AI chip demand. Revenue grew over 55% last quarter and market cap exceeds $630 billion, but its P/E of 40 and forward P/E of 29 exceed the S&P 500 average, raising valuation questions.
Hacker News discussion covers a version of Qwen3-4B trained to remove AI writing tics. The post compares one sampled answer each from the original and released models on 40 held-out prompts, underlining passages counted by a slop detector.
Stripe says AI agents shopping via its Link service grew from about 70 to around 200, including Meta's Muse and Grok Bot. September transactions rose 38-fold and volume 20-fold, but from a small base and without disclosed totals. Most spend is about $100 per transaction; retail is 36% of transactions.
A Korea University team targeted DHPS, benchmarking 13 binding-score models and 10 molecule-generation methods, and experimentally validated AI-generated molecules. Published in the Journal of Cheminformatics, the work targets a host enzyme supporting HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 replication.
Microsoft and Nvidia published a joint paper warning that fine-tuning, quantization or configuration changes can weaken safeguards in open-weight AI models while task performance remains intact. The paper identifies 30 risk types across five categories, including cybersecurity, data protection, content, human-AI interaction and bias, and urges enterprises to verify provenance and reassess risks after changes.
Chinese AI company MiniMax released an updated model called M3.1 Flash, claiming major improvements in performance. Specific technical details and benchmark results were not disclosed.
The open-source book Harness Engineering 101 argues the LLM is the brain and the harness is the body, since stateless LLM APIs require a program to build and protect the conversation array. Its 16 chapters grow a ~300-line Python toy agent, with patterns fully developed in open-source coding agent One Code.
A Hacker News discussion thread highlights an obscure trust looming over Anthropic's IPO. The post itself offers no further details beyond linking to the Hacker News discussion page.
After CoreWeave's sell-off last week, investors are focused on returns from large AI investments. Earnings this week from Meta, Texas Instruments and Lam Research, among others, could move AI stocks based on management commentary on spending.
OpenAI introduced new evaluations covering software engineering, SQLite, and COBOL migration to improve ChatGPT's performance in low-resource programming languages, signaling that code-model competition is extending to niche languages and legacy-system migration.
