Freight software provider Alvys has launched an agentic AI platform that allows carriers and brokers to automate operational tasks directly within its transportation management system (TMS). Called Alvys Foundry, the platform supports pre-built and custom AI agents that work with freight data and workflows already held within the TMS. Foundry includes more than 20 pre-built […] The post Alvys launches AI agents for freight TMS workflows appeared first on AI News.
The AI industry’s boldest promise right now is that AI will soon improve itself, with almost no need for human oversight. LLMs can already write code, generate synthetic data for training, and optimize the computer chips they run on. Forecasts of explosive AI progress predict that what researchers call recursive self-improvement is on the horizon. …
AI companies like Anthropic and OpenAI regularly publish reports on how people are using products like Claude and ChatGPT, but they only release the data they want us to see, AI researchers say.  “There is no independent source to corroborate it,” says Anka Reuel, a Computer Science PhD candidate at the Stanford Trustworthy AI Research…
Zhipu’s release note for GLM-5.3 contains a sentence that did not make it into most of the coverage. Describing its own cybersecurity results, the Beijing company writes that capability “is growing fastest exactly where we are furthest behind.” Zhipu, which also trades as Z.ai, is one of a handful of Chinese labs releasing models that compete with […] The post Reading Zhipu’s GLM-5.3 results past the headline number appeared first on AI News.
