Are AI tokens the new signing bonus or just a cost of doing business?
Maybe tokens really will become the fourth pillar of engineering compensation. But engineers might want to hold the line before embracing this as a straightforward win.
A Coding Implementation for Building and Analyzing Crystal Structures Using Pymatgen for Symmetry Analysis, Phase Diagrams, Surface Generation, and Materials Project Integration
In this tutorial, we explore the capabilities of the pymatgen library for computational materials science using Python. We begin by constructing crystal structures such as silicon, sodium chloride, and a LiFePO₄-like material, and then investigate their lattice properties, densities, and composition

Safely Deploying ML Models to Production: Four Controlled Strategies (A/B, Canary, Interleaved, Shadow Testing)
Deploying a new machine learning model to production is one of the most critical stages of the ML lifecycle. Even if a model performs well on validation and test datasets, directly replacing the existing production model can be risky. Offline evaluation rarely captures the full complexity of real-wo
A Coding Implementation to Build an Uncertainty-Aware LLM System with Confidence Estimation, Self-Evaluation, and Automatic Web Research
In this tutorial, we build an uncertainty-aware large language model system that not only generates answers but also estimates the confidence in those answers. We implement a three-stage reasoning pipeline in which the model first produces an answer along with a self-reported confidence score and a
Publisher pulls horror novel ‘Shy Girl’ over AI concerns
Hachette Book Group said it will not be publishing “Shy Girl” over concerns that artificial intelligence was used to generate the text.
Why Wall Street wasn’t won over by Nvidia’s big conference
Despite investor fears of an AI bubble, Nvidia's latest conference shows that most in the industry aren't concerned by that possibility.
New court filing reveals Pentagon told Anthropic the two sides were nearly aligned — a week after Trump declared the relationship kaput
Anthropic submitted two sworn declarations to a California federal court late Friday afternoon, pushing back on the Pentagon's assertion that the AI company poses an "unacceptable risk to national security" and arguing that the government's case relies on technical misunderstandings and claims that

NVIDIA Releases Nemotron-Cascade 2: An Open 30B MoE with 3B Active Parameters, Delivering Better Reasoning and Strong Agentic Capabilities
NVIDIA has announced the release of Nemotron-Cascade 2, an open-weight 30B Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 3B activated parameters. The model focuses on maximizing ‘intelligence density,’ delivering advanced reasoning capabilities at a fraction of the parameter scale used by frontier models. Nem
Microsoft rolls back some of its Copilot AI bloat on Windows
The company is reducing Copilot entry points on Windows, starting with Photos, Widgets, Notepad, and other apps.
What happened at Nvidia GTC: NemoClaw, Robot Olaf, and a $1 trillion bet
CEO Jensen Huang took the stage at Nvidia’s GTC conference this week in his signature leather jacket to deliver a two-and-a-half-hour keynote, projecting $1 trillion in AI chip sales through 2027, declaring that every company needs an “OpenClaw strategy,” and closing with a rambling Olaf robot that
Nvidia has an OpenClaw strategy. Do you?
CEO Jensen Huang took the stage at Nvidia’s GTC conference this week in his signature leather jacket to deliver a two-and-a-half-hour keynote, projecting $1 trillion in AI chip sales through 2027, declaring that every company needs an “OpenClaw strategy,” and closing with a rambling Olaf robot that
A Coding Implementation Showcasing ClawTeam’s Multi-Agent Swarm Orchestration with OpenAI Function Calling
In this comprehensive tutorial, we present the core architecture of ClawTeam, an open-source Agent Swarm Intelligence framework developed by HKUDS. We implement the fundamental concepts that make ClawTeam powerful: a leader agent that decomposes complex goals into sub-tasks, specialized worker agent
WordPress.com now lets AI agents write and publish posts, and more
New AI agents on WordPress.com could lower barriers to publishing while increasing machine-generated content across the web.
The Download: OpenAI is building a fully automated researcher, and a psychedelic trial blind spot
This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. OpenAI is throwing everything into building a fully automated researcher OpenAI has a new grand challenge: building an AI researcher—a fully automated agent-base
OpenAI is throwing everything into building a fully automated researcher
OpenAI is refocusing its research efforts and throwing its resources into a new grand challenge. The San Francisco firm has set its sights on building what it calls an AI researcher, a fully automated agent-based system that will be able to go off and tackle large, complex problems by itself. Open
Mind-altering substances are (still) falling short in clinical trials
This week I want to look at where we are with psychedelics, the mind-altering substances that have somehow made the leap from counterculture to major focus of clinical research. Compounds like psilocybin—which is found in magic mushrooms—are being explored for all sorts of health applications, inclu
LlamaIndex Releases LiteParse: A CLI and TypeScript-Native Library for Spatial PDF Parsing in AI Agent Workflows
In the current landscape of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), the primary bottleneck for developers is no longer the large language model (LLM) itself, but the data ingestion pipeline. For software developers, converting complex PDFs into a format that an LLM can reason over remains a high-laten
The Download: Quantum computing for health, and why the world doesn’t recycle more nuclear waste
This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. A $5 million prize awaits proof that quantum computers can solve health care problems In a laboratory on the outskirts of Oxford, a quantum computer built from a
Can quantum computers now solve health care problems? We’ll soon find out.
I’m standing in front of a quantum computer built out of atoms and light at the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre on the outskirts of Oxford. On a laboratory table, a complex matrix of mirrors and lenses surrounds a Rubik’s Cube–size cell where 100 cesium atoms are suspended in grid formation b
Why the world doesn’t recycle more nuclear waste
The prospect of making trash useful is always fascinating to me. Whether it’s used batteries, solar panels, or spent nuclear fuel, getting use out of something destined for disposal sounds like a win all around. In nuclear energy, figuring out what to do with waste has always been a challenge, since
