DeepSeek has open-sourced DeepInfer, the inference framework that powers its API services, under the Apache 2.0 license, with support for both NVIDIA SM100 Blackwell GPUs and Huawei Ascend 950 NPUs.
Anthropic’s reported $80.7 billion net loss for H1 2026 is largely a non-cash accounting effect; stripping out $72 billion in valuation adjustments leaves about $8.7 billion in operating losses. The real story is accelerating infrastructure spending, rapid revenue growth, high customer concentration, and a planned IPO at a valuation of up to $2 trillion.
Before you share the Netflix documentary "AI Gone Rogue" take note. Clem Delangue, Hugging Face's co-founder who is featured in the film, says it went "full doomer mode" and isn't accurate.
The proposed policy seems to offer protections against AI run amok but actually forbids federal agencies from blocking a model's release without the permission of a judge.
The EU has selected MLPerf Training v5.1 and MLPerf Inference v5.1 as performance benchmarks for its AI Gigafactories tender, while MLCommons has opened submissions for MLPerf Endpoints v1.0 to evaluate real API-served AI services across performance, cost, and energy consumption.
MLCommons has updated its mission to focus on standardizing AI measurement and enabling informed decisions. It will continue building and operating industrial-grade benchmarks while evolving its organization and outreach.
MLPerf Endpoints evaluates inference systems as complete production endpoints under real workloads, presenting a Pareto front across concurrency levels and metrics directly tied to deployment decisions. The article explains what the benchmark measures, how it differs from other benchmarks, and how buyers should interpret its results.
MLCommons has been selected as the benchmark team for the STRIDE Ventures AI Efficiency Challenge and will use a two-year, $3.5 million NSF-supported grant to develop MLPerf Agents, a new benchmark for measuring the efficiency of agentic AI systems in completing real work.

The company says the feature is designed for situations where users might be discussing something personal or planning a surprise and want to keep those conversations private when handing their device to friends or family to show them something in another chat.
OpenAI says it's adding Orchestra's team and technology to work on Rosalind, its AI model for life sciences research, and to its related Rosalind Workbench tool, a harness that aims to help researchers plan experiments and analyze results.
SpaceX hit profitably in the third-quarter, with net income of $4.4 billion. AI was the engine.
Strokes leave 5 million people with long-term impairments each year, and a growing shortage of physical therapists makes it hard for them to get the care they need. A new approach tries to solve that problem by combining artificial intelligence and human therapy.  Johannes Lachner, a former MIT postdoc who is now an assistant professor…
A high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet can help some people lose weight, and some research has shown that it may protect against colon cancer. But a new study suggests that such a ketogenic diet may also increase the risk of cancer in the small intestine. This type of diet forces the body to burn fatty acids instead…
The average American throws out around 81 pounds of clothing each year, and there are few options for recycling it. MIT engineers hope to cut down on that textile waste with a new type of yarn.  The thermoplastic yarn mimics the properties of conventional elastic yarns, which typically combine spandex with polyester or nylon. Those…
When Tristan Brown, an associate professor of history at MIT, first examined a Chinese tea chest label displayed at Old South Meeting House, he had no reason to doubt its story. Descendants of the Boston blacksmith Thomas Wells had donated the label in 1987, saying it had been recovered after colonial protesters threw tea into…
