Deepseek has detailed a new AI training method called Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections (mHC). The technique promises more stable and scalable training without increasing compute costs, a key hurdle in the AI race.
Epic is closing out its annual holiday free game promotion with two final titles. Both Total War: Three Kingdoms and the space shooter Wildgate are free to claim right now.
Researchers are testing a method where large language models must provide a “confession” after each response, detailing their compliance with instructions. The goal is to expose dishonesty or unsafe reasoning, particularly when AI gives mental health guidance. But the confessions themselves can be m
In China’s tech hub, companies are building robots and AI apps with a unique strategy. A founder argues that lower energy costs and open-source models can compensate for using less advanced, more power-hungry semiconductor chips.
Cloud support is drowning in complexity, not a lack of staff. A new article proposes a three-layer AI framework to help engineers by handling knowledge retrieval, routing, and communication drafts, freeing them to solve harder problems.
According to VentureBeat, the data world is in for a major reset in 2026. RAG is getting a massive overhaul, purpose-built vector databases are facing an existential crisis, and the 40-year-old PostgreSQL is suddenly the hottest thing in AI. Billions in acquisitions are reshaping the entire market.
Chinese tech giants like ByteDance have ordered over 2 million Nvidia H200 AI chips. But with only 700,000 in stock, Nvidia needs TSMC’s help to meet 2026 delivery targets, all while navigating a political minefield.
A TechCrunch survey of enterprise VCs reveals a consensus that 2026 is the year AI starts cutting jobs. They predict budgets will shift from labor to AI, and automation will move beyond just making workers more efficient.
Nvidia just dropped a staggering $20 billion to license Groq’s technology and scoop up its engineering talent. While theories swirl about SRAM memory or killing a competitor, the real value likely lies in Groq’s unique “data flow” chip design. This could give Nvidia a new lever to pull for future AI
Nvidia is in advanced talks to acquire Israeli AI startup AI21 Labs, according to a new report. The deal could be worth up to $3 billion, with Nvidia primarily interested in the company’s 200-person team of AI experts.
