More young girls sue X over Grok CSAM; X accused of shielding child predators.

In June, we experienced six incidents that resulted in degraded performance across GitHub services. The post GitHub availability report: June 2026 appeared first on The GitHub Blog .

Elon Musk's tech company released the newest version of Grok on Wednesday, promising a cheaper, more efficient alternative to other powerful AI models.

General Intuition is betting millions of hours of video game data can train the foundation models for physical AI, making it easier to build smarter robots with minimal real-world data.

Have you ever wondered how AI engineers fine-tune and align large language models? Under the hood, they run Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), optimize parameters using direct preference gradients (DPO), filter out low-quality pre-training corpuses (Pruning), and mitigate catastrophic drifts. To help you visualize how LLM alignment and parameter optimization work in a highly strategic way, I built a cyberpunk card battler inspired by Gwent: 🤖 Epoch Duel: Cyberpunk LLM Alignment Battle Play in Fullscreen Mode (if the embed sizing is tight) 🛠️ Tune Your Model Parameters Your mission as an alignment engineer is to play optimizer cards to outscore the adversarial baseline AI across 3 training Epochs: ⚙️ Logic & Coding: Run SFT code snippets, compile theorem provers, and deploy Python scripts to build your coding benchmark scores. 📖 Language & Speech: Train on multilingual datasets and summarization corpuses to maximize reading comprehension. 🛡️ Safety & Alignment: Implement red-team safeguards, configure RLHF preference pairs, and run DPO tuning to protect your model's outputs. ⚡ regularizers & Drifts: Deploy Regularization cards like Gradient Clipping (Scorch) and Model Pruning to destroy anomalies, or exploit Anomalous Drifts to collapse the AI's rows. 🧬 Playable ML Concepts Explained Here is how the card battle mechanics map to production machine learning pipelines: 1. ✂️ Model Pruning (Weight Compression) In-Game: Playing the Model Pruning card triggers a glitchy dissolution animation that purges the lowest-value card from the targeted board row, cleaning up noise. 💾 The Real-World Counterpart Model Pruning removes unimportant weights (often those closest to zero) from a trained neural network. It shrinks the memory footprint of the model, allowing it to run faster on edge devices. ⚠️ How it affects LLMs By stripping out low-impact weights, pruning compresses models by 30-50% with minimal loss in benchmark accuracy, making deployment significantly cheaper. 2. 🔀 DPO vs RL

AI coding agents are becoming good enough to touch real codebases. They can refactor files, write tests, change architecture, move logic around, and sometimes modify more code in ten minutes than a human would in an afternoon. That is powerful. But it creates a new debugging problem. Git can tell you what changed . When an AI agent was involved, you often need to know something deeper: Why did this change happen? Which prompt caused this line? Which model produced it? What files did the agent read before writing it? What later changes depended on this agent action? That is the problem I wanted to solve with Causari . Causari is a local CLI for intent-addressable code . It records AI agent actions as causal events: prompts, models, reads, writes, diffs, reasoning, cost, and relationships between actions. The goal is simple: Git tracks bytes. Causari tracks intent and causality. Repository: https://github.com/croviatrust/causari Website: https://causari.dev The problem When a human developer changes code, there is usually some context. A commit message. A pull request. A ticket. A discussion. A design decision. With AI coding agents, the workflow is different. You ask something like this: Refactor the auth flow and add JWT refresh logic. The agent reads files, makes assumptions, writes code, maybe fixes tests, maybe changes something unrelated, then moves on. At the end, you have a diff. But the diff does not tell the full story. A suspicious line appears in auth.ts . Git can show when the line appeared. But Git cannot answer: which prompt produced this exact line? what completion did it come from? did the agent read the right files first? was this part of the original request or an accidental side effect? if I revert this, what downstream work am I also undoing? That gap becomes bigger as agents become more autonomous. The more work agents do, the more we need provenance. Not only code provenance. Intent provenance. The idea: intent-addressable code Causari treats an

As part of Microsoft's big Xbox "reset," which includes layoffs affecting 3,200 staffers, jettisoning studios, and shifting investments to focus on "higher priority projects," Obsidian Entertainment is changing its plans. The studio, behind games like Grounded and The Outer Worlds, is starting work on a new Fallout title and has canceled "multiple projects," including a […]

The feature can do things like apply cinematic relighting to brighten up a dark clip, swap out a plain background for something fun, or add artistic styles to videos.

Bad nextjs folder structure does not show up on day one. It shows up at month six when three developers search for the checkout form hook and find four copies. I reorganised a client dashboard after exactly that — this guide is the tree I use now on large App Router projects, why each folder exists, mistakes from my first Next.js apps, and the 10-second findability rule .

OwO What's this? 💨✨ A tiny but mighty Mac mini M4 🍎⚡ with 16GB RAM, lots of local AI models 🤖🧠, and a BIG question… 🫣❓ -- an intro by Gemma 4. I have a Mac mini M4 with 16 GB of RAM, a pile of local models, and a very specific dream: Can I run a useful local AI agent that actually does things, but still feels nice to talk to? Not just "can it chat." Not just "can it write a haiku about Kubernetes." I mean: can it inspect the machine, patch files, search current information, use tools, avoid infinite loops, and still keep the cute assistant vibe? That last part turned out to matter more than I expected. My first round of testing was mostly about models. I compared gemma4:latest and ornith:9b inside OpenClaw, my local agent harness. Ornith won because it acted more like an agent. But after another day of testing, the story changed. The model still matters. Ornith is still the local model winner for me. But the harness matters just as much. And right now, my favorite setup is: Ornith + Hermes Agent The Original Question The original question was simple: Can a free local model behave like a useful agent on a small Mac? The machine is modest by AI workstation standards: Mac mini M4 16 GB RAM local model inference local agent harness Telegram or chat-style interface real files, real commands, real web/API checks This was never meant to be a scientific benchmark. No leaderboard. No synthetic score. No fake "reasoning" tasks. I tested practical things I actually care about: Find junk on disk and suggest what is safe to clean. Patch a Python script that fetches Bybit futures data. Search current web/API information and answer a crypto API question. My first conclusion was: Ornith beat Gemma. That is still true. But it was incomplete. The Thing I Missed: Gemma Had the Kawaii Soul ✨ I focused too much on tool use. That was fair, because agents need to act. But I missed something important: Gemma was much better at keeping the kawaii writing style ✨🌸. Gemma's messages were genu

When it comes to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), large language models just don’t have what it takes. Models like ChatGPT and Claude are great at text, but they’re less skilled at understanding how things actually move through space and time — an essential skill for producing intelligence that generalizes. That gap, it turns out, might be filled by gaming data. That’s the bet behind General Intuition, a […]

Meta is adding a new safeguard to stop people from secretly recording others with its AI glasses. But the update comes as the company continues to expand how much personal data its AI products collect and use.

This week, Microsoft took a huge ax to its Xbox business. The company announced that it would be laying off 1,600 workers now, 1,600 more over the next fiscal year, and that it would be shedding four studios. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma hasn't been shy about why she's making such dramatic cuts, saying in a […]

OpenAI's new voice mode for ChatGPT will acknowledge you as you speak, and slow down if you ask it to.

OpenAI says its new voice mode can speak and listen at the same time, a key ability for live translation.

OpenAI is overhauling ChatGPT's voice mode with a new model that it says is more like "talking to another person." The new GPT-Live-1 is designed to interrupt you less and will also wait for you to continue speaking if you pause mid-conversation. During a press briefing, OpenAI research lead Kundan Kumar called GPT-Live-1 the company's […]
