Researchers at Mass General Brigham built an AI system trained on over 40 million facial photos across ethnicities and ages that can estimate biological age and predict cancer survival from a single face photo. The tools, FAHR-FaceAge and FAHR-FaceSurvival, rely on facial features such as creases to make predictions. The study was published in Lancet Digital Health.
Anthropic said it will commit 5% of its shares to a new Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, with up to 2% more for every 50% increase in company value, totaling roughly 20% of shares for the public good. The company did not respond to questions about distributing shares directly to American children or families. Elon Musk urged giving shares directly to the public and pledged one SpaceX share to every US child next year.
The US is building fossil fuel infrastructure at the fastest pace in a decade as renewable growth slows. Power demand is rising with data centers, factories and EVs, while the Trump administration favors fossil fuels over wind and solar. A report by the Environmental Defense Fund and Atlas Public Policy shows the energy landscape is already shifting.
CoreWeave's bonds are trading at distressed levels, with yields 1,000 basis points above government debt, and its shares have fallen over 20% since Tuesday. This has raised concerns about an AI infrastructure bubble and private credit risks, affecting other AI companies.
A developer open-sourced adaptive-thinking, which uses per-word entropy and a JEV-like gate to decide when an LLM triggers extra thinking, selecting among parallel reasoning trees. It targets local models limited by RAM-speed decoding.
A r/LocalLLaMA user conducted an in-depth analysis of AI slop posts across Reddit subreddits over the years, published a blog post, and made predictions about its future. The author says the situation has improved recently and the study is not serious.
An amateur ML researcher working on drug repurposing for his wife's stage 4 colon cancer faces rising GPU costs. He trains NBFNet models on Google Vertex A100s but batch size drops to 64 due to memory limits, and he seeks cost-optimization strategies.
Researchers at MIT, Boston Children's Hospital and Inria built E(3)-Pose, a deep learning model that uses symmetry to correct misaligned slices caused by fetal movement in MRI scans, producing high-resolution 3D images for radiologists. The aim is to reduce missed or incorrect prenatal brain abnormality diagnoses; the paper was presented at ECCV 2026.
Anthropic revealed in a blog post that its team uses Claude Tag to create agents called 'superfans' that monitor the health of individual system components, detecting subtle issues that traditional alerts miss. This highlights the potential of agents in operations monitoring.
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.
Starting with v0.7.0, llama server's default port changes from 8080 to 9931. Users who did not explicitly set a port face a breaking change on upgrade, and tools hardcoding port 8080 will need adjustment.
That is everything
