Nvidia announces DGX desktop “personal AI supercomputers”

During Tuesday’s Nvidia GTX keynote, CEO Jensen Huang unveiled two “personal AI supercomputers” called DGX Spark and DGX Station, both powered by the Grace Blackwell platform. In a way, they are a new type of AI PC architecture specifically built for running neural networks, and five major PC manufacturers will build the supercomputers. These desktop… Read More »

Nvidia announces “Rubin Ultra” and “Feynman” AI chips for 2027 and 2028

On Tuesday at Nvidia’s GTC 2025 conference in San Jose, California, CEO Jensen Huang revealed several new AI-accelerating GPUs the company plans to release over the coming months and years. He also revealed more specifications about previously announced chips. The centerpiece announcement was Vera Rubin, first teased at Computex 2024 and now scheduled for release… Read More »

AI coding assistant refuses to write code, tells user to learn programming instead

On Saturday, a developer using Cursor AI for a racing game project hit an unexpected roadblock when the programming assistant abruptly refused to continue generating code, instead offering some unsolicited career advice. According to a bug report on Cursor’s official forum, after producing approximately 750 to 800 lines of code (what the user calls “locs”),… Read More »

Anthropic CEO floats idea of giving AI a “quit job” button, sparking skepticism

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei raised a few eyebrows on Monday after suggesting that advanced AI models might someday be provided with the ability to push a “button” to quit tasks they might find unpleasant. Amodei made the provocative remarks during an interview at the Council on Foreign Relations, acknowledging that the idea “sounds crazy.” “So… Read More »

OpenAI pushes AI agent capabilities with new developer API

Developers using the Responses API can access the same models that power ChatGPT Search: GPT-4o search and GPT-4o mini search. These models can browse the web to answer questions and cite sources in their responses. That’s notable because OpenAI says the added web search ability dramatically improves the factual accuracy of its AI models. On… Read More »

Why extracting data from PDFs is still a nightmare for data experts

“The biggest [drawback] is that they are probabilistic prediction machines and will get it wrong in ways that aren’t just ‘that’s the wrong word’,” Willis explains. “LLMs will sometimes skip a line in larger documents where the layout repeats itself, I’ve found, where OCR isn’t likely to do that.” AI researcher and data journalist Simon… Read More »

What does “PhD-level” AI mean? OpenAI’s rumored $20,000 agent plan explained.

On the Frontier Math benchmark by EpochAI, o3 solved 25.2 percent of problems, while no other model has exceeded 2 percent—suggesting a leap in mathematical reasoning capabilities over the previous model. Benchmarks vs. real-world value Ideally, potential applications for a true PhD-level AI model would include analyzing medical research data, supporting climate modeling, and handling… Read More »

CMU research shows compression alone may unlock AI puzzle-solving abilities

This new research matters because it challenges the prevailing wisdom in AI development, which typically relies on massive pre-training datasets and computationally expensive models. While leading AI companies push toward ever-larger models trained on more extensive datasets, CompressARC suggests intelligence emerging from a fundamentally different principle. “CompressARC’s intelligence emerges not from pretraining, vast datasets, exhaustive… Read More »
