I’ve been so surprised by how fast individual builders can now ship real and useful prototypes. Tools like Claude Code, Google AntiGravity, and the growing ecosystem around them have crossed a threshold: you can inspect what others are building online and realize just how fast you can build today. O...
AI benchmarks are broken. Here’s what we need instead.
For decades, artificial intelligence has been evaluated through the question of whether machines outperform humans. From chess to advanced math, from coding to essay writing, the performance of AI models and applications is tested against that of individual humans completing tasks. This framing is ...
On February 10, 2026, Scott Shambaugh—a volunteer maintainer for Matplotlib, one of the world’s most popular open source software libraries—rejected a proposed code change. Why? Because an AI agent wrote it. Standard policy. What happened next wasn’t standard, though. The AI agent autonomously resea...
DNA robots could deliver drugs and hunt viruses inside your body
DNA robots are emerging as tiny programmable machines that could one day deliver drugs, hunt viruses, and build molecular-scale devices. By borrowing ideas from traditional robotics and combining them with DNA folding techniques, scientists are creating structures that can move and act with precisio...
Gemini 3.1 Flash Live: AI Conversations Now Feel Way More Human
Do you remember the very first AI voice conversation that you had? No doubt, it felt unreal getting live answers from a talking bot. But the one thing largely missing from the interaction was the feel of a human responding to your queries. Years on, we now see AI models have evolved largely in this ...
Alibaba Qwen Team Releases Qwen3.5 Omni: A Native Multimodal Model for Text, Audio, Video, and Realtime Interaction
The landscape of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) has shifted from experimental ‘wrappers’—where separate vision or audio encoders are stitched onto a text-based backbone—to native, end-to-end ‘omnimodal’ architectures. Alibaba Qwen team latest release, Qwen3.5-Omni, represents a significant...
Neuro-Symbolic Learning for Predictive Process Monitoring via Two-Stage Logic Tensor Networks with Rule Pruning
arXiv:2603.26944v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Predictive modeling on sequential event data is critical for fraud detection and healthcare monitoring. Existing data-driven approaches learn correlations from historical data but fail to incorporate domain-specific sequential constraints and logical ...
Multiverse: Language-Conditioned Multi-Game Level Blending via Shared Representation
arXiv:2603.26782v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Text-to-level generation aims to translate natural language descriptions into structured game levels, enabling intuitive control over procedural content generation. While prior text-to-level generators are typically limited to a single game domain, ex...
arXiv:2603.26765v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The efficiency of game engines and policy optimization algorithms is crucial for training reinforcement learning (RL) agents in complex sequential decision-making tasks, such as Tetris. Existing Tetris implementations suffer from low simulation speeds...
A Step Toward Federated Pretraining of Multimodal Large Language Models
arXiv:2603.26786v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The rapid evolution of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) is bottlenecked by the saturation of high-quality public data, while vast amounts of diverse multimodal data remain inaccessible in privacy-sensitive silos. Federated Learning (FL) offers...
TED: Training-Free Experience Distillation for Multimodal Reasoning
arXiv:2603.26778v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Knowledge distillation is typically realized by transferring a teacher model's knowledge into a student's parameters through supervised or reinforcement-based optimization. While effective, such approaches require repeated parameter updates and large-...
Learning to Select Visual In-Context Demonstrations
arXiv:2603.26775v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) adapt to visual tasks via in-context learning (ICL), which relies heavily on demonstration quality. The dominant demonstration selection strategy is unsupervised k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) search. While simple, t...
Boundary-aware Prototype-driven Adversarial Alignment for Cross-Corpus EEG Emotion Recognition
arXiv:2603.26713v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG)-based emotion recognition suffers from severe performance degradation when models are transferred across heterogeneous datasets due to physiological variability, experimental paradigm differences, and device inconsistencie...

AI Weekly Issue #477: Jensen Huang says we've achieved AGI. The benchmarks say 0.37%.
💡 Insights
AI is superhuman at exams but can't figure out a simple game. ARC-AGI-3 gave frontier models interactive environments with no rules and no goals — just figure it out. Humans solve 100%. The best AI scored 0.37%. Current architectures can pattern-match anything in their training data but c...
15% of Americans say they’d be willing to work for an AI boss, according to new poll
According to a Quinnipiac University poll, 15% of Americans say they'd be willing to have a job where their direct supervisor was an AI program that assigned tasks and set schedules.
Microsoft AI Releases Harrier-OSS-v1: A New Family of Multilingual Embedding Models Hitting SOTA on Multilingual MTEB v2
Microsoft has announced the release of Harrier-OSS-v1, a family of three multilingual text embedding models designed to provide high-quality semantic representations across a wide range of languages. The release includes three distinct scales: a 270M parameter model, a 0.6B model, and a 27B model. T...
