API credits benefit for eligible ChatGPT subscriptions Earlier this month Anthropic announced a generous new benefit for their Max and Team subscriptions: $100, $200, and $500 per month subscribers would get the equivalent quantity of (expiring) credits to use with the Anthropic API.

The UK Amazon Quick User Group's 2026 roundup: three quarterly meetups, 150+ attendees, and customer stories from Arriva, Carsa, and Propulse Lab on using agentic AI and Amazon Quick to turn data into faster decisions, higher satisfaction, and scalable growth.

Spawn is a massively multiplayer gaming environment where players can use prompts (to the in-game agent, Savi) to modify the game world. I fired it up on my phone for a few minutes and was able to prompt a castle into existence, then a dragon, then ride the dragon to fly around that castle.

OpenAI’s updated Model Spec outlines five core values to guide more capable AI toward sound judgment, human agency, and faithfulness to human intent.

This post explores its architecture and use cases, then shows how to deploy it on Amazon EKS, EKS Auto Mode, and Amazon SageMaker HyperPod EKS with NVIDIA Dynamo and vLLM.

Granite Switch 4.1.1 is a patch release. The version number means what it means in software: fully backwards compatible with 4.1, no migration, incremental improvements under the hood.

Built by clinicians at Google, the new Google AI for Healthcare Professionals Certificate helps healthcare professionals prioritize patients.

Earlier this month, we released Mistral Large 4 (Le Chonk), our flagship 1-trillion-parameter, natively multimodal model, in public preview. The response to the preview has exceeded our expectations, and we're grateful to our developer community, early-access customers, and partners for their support, collaboration, and feedback.

New studies from the UK and Italy show how Gemini can boost student learning and help teachers facilitate more active learning in the classroom.

OpenAI uses layered monitoring to detect frontier model misalignment and unauthorized agent behavior so responders can intervene before incidents escalate.

Ropes & Gray is developing AI for transactional diligence with OpenAI. Lawyers review grouped documents, summaries, and reports before advising clients.

We present the systematic study of Grad-CAM explanation faithfulness under federated deepfake detection, evaluating an EfficientNet-B4 detector on FaceForensics++ across five federated clients under varying degrees of data heterogeneity.

However, ML predictors couple short histories with fixed horizons, fitting the training trace's node layout rather than learning transferable graph patterns. We propose LoCoMAP, a long-context representation-learning framework for memory-access prediction with independently controlled observation history and prediction horizon.

AI coding agents now do long, multi-step and multi-session software work with little supervision. When a developer comes back to that work, the useful question is not what the model said but what was actually done, by whom, and whether it is finished.

However, most under-sampling approaches fail to differentiate their sampling of boundary samples across datasets of varying complexity.

A learned ensemble is a natural way to combine these outputs, but heterogeneous models typically require each output to be converted into a binary decision, probability, confidence score, or fixed-length feature vector.

We study first-order and best-of-both-worlds regret guarantees in multi-armed bandits. However, a logarithmic gap remains between this loss-dependent term and the optimal first-order scale.

Recent work introduces parameter-efficient fine-tuning, such as LoRA, into AT, but this constraint induces a notable robustness gap relative to full-parameter AT. In this work, we revisit parameter-efficient adversarial fine-tuning from a parameter space perspective.

Planning at run time, as in robots that re-plan while they act, needs a planner that reads the PDDL its users write (durative actions, numeric resources, time windows, continuous change), answers quickly, and delivers only validated plans. Specialised planners are strong on individual fragments of PDDL, but they differ in coverage, latency and in what their failures mean.

Google announced a new research hub and initiatives to support clinicians, advance research, and help Singaporeans live healthier lives.

We present REALM (Required Execution Assets Linked to a Mission), an approach to identifying and maintaining a task's required assets and their permitted uses. The approach represents required assets as Dependency Graph nodes, resolves prerequisite relationships, and admits newly discovered assets through source-scoped selection.

We investigate whether self-evolution degrades the robustness of personal agents to IPI. To study this question, we design a controlled two-phase methodology.

AI bots flooded a government consultation with tens of thousands of fake responses in a failed attempt to stop the UK’s ban on disposable vapes.

There's no guarantee of a fixed ordering where the model that is best at math is also the model that's best at jokes. Despite that complexity, much of the variation in performance is explained by just a single variable: model size.

Google is expanding AI Mode ads to 10 new countries, including Canada and India. See how these relevant sponsored results improve your search experience.

Automated jailbreak discovery aims to find prompts that elicit prohibited behaviors from safety-trained language models, helping developers identify vulnerabilities before deployment. One class of approaches uses reinforcement learning to train an investigator model to generate prompts that elicit a specified behavior from a target model.

Stand up a governed, multi-account Agentic AI Platform on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. This post walks through the architecture and an open-source reference blueprint: the operating model, control plane, per-Workstream cells, separate inference and tool gateways, and a CI/CD evaluation pipeline that gates each agent before production.

The Ray Train Deep Learning Container ships the full CUDA-through-EFA stack, so you build no image. This post walks through a reproducible sample that fine-tunes Qwen2.5-1.5B with PyTorch FSDP across eight GPUs on two EFA-enabled g6.12xlarge instances on Amazon EKS, using the container exactly as published.

Today, we are rolling out immersive explorations in the new Gemini student hub.

Chrome now pulls flight bookings and order numbers from Gmail to autofill forms. See how Gemini in Chrome simplifies your data entry today.

XREAL AURA, the first wired XR glasses powered by Android XR, lets you work, watch, and play anywhere with Gemini by your side.

I think we've reached a new inflection point in October 2026, and this time it's for vibe coding computer games . Tree Appreciator Emberwick Battle Drones Pumpkin Farmer, aka Quarter Sun Cove Four times as insulting What happens if someone actually puts the work in?

How AI might enter the org chart—beneath, beside, and between us.

We introduce Heads of Security (HoS), a prompt injection defense that enforces instruction-data separation via a small set of learned per-head attention gates. HoS learns how each head should redistribute attention between trusted and untrusted tokens, enabling models to reason over untrusted content without following injected instructions.

Backward passes were added to the dense and grouped FP8 matmuls, and `is_trainable` is now `True`. Backward also dequantizes experts in chunks and skips autograd at inference, which cuts peak memory in the MoE layer backward from about 28.9 GiB to 2.8 GiB at 8k tokens.

On 7 October, I paid €180 to renew Claude Max 20x for another month. On 13 October, they cut off my access.
