Judges around the world have made headlines for illicitly using generative AI in their work. But in Pakistan, a large-scale trial of a specially designed AI tool for judges found the technology—together with appropriate training–boosted the number of cases resolved by 6.3 percent with no obvious drop in the quality of judgments. With a backlog of 2.26 million cases and fewer than two judges per 100,000 people—compared to 22 in the EU and eight in Brazil—Pakistan’s judiciary was in sore need of h

Deploying secure, real-time Edge AI on Raspberry Pi is now simplified using LiteRT and lightweight Gemma open models. LiteRT optimizes CPU and GPU performance, delivering fast token speeds for models like Gemma4, enabling real-time local reasoning for robotics. Developers can quickly convert, quantize, and run these models using the lightweight LiteRT CLI tool. Support for Hailo AI accelerators is also coming very soon.

This seems to work : Researchers from Tracebit on Monday said they found that placing prompt injections alongside passwords, cryptographic keys, and other secrets stored on Amazon Web Services was often all that was needed to shut down attacks from AI hacking agents. The prompts direct the attacking LLM to perform an action forbidden by its guardrails, the safety barriers AI developers erect to prevent it from taking harmful actions. The LLM responds by shutting down. Examples are a prompt that

Hey HN, we're Advaith and Akash from Discovered Materials ( https://discoveredmaterials.com/ ). We build AI agents that discover new materials for the semiconductor industry. GPUs today have a heat problem. Nvidia & AMD are almost doubling the TDP (Thermal Design Power) in every chip they release - the H100 (released 2022) has a TDP of 700W, Blackwell (2024) gives out 1.2 kW and Rubin (2026) gives out at 2.3 kW of heat. This trend is expected to continue, and getting rid of this heat is one of t

You may know the anegdote of Henry Kissinger. He asked Winston Lord to prepare a document. Each time Winston handed him the document, he asked, “Is this the best you can do?” He finally started to read it only when Winston said "yes". With AI it is easy to work like that, but hard to decide when to stop and we can fall in an infinite loop. Curious to know what your approaches on that point?

I’m 18, and I’ve recently solved my 823rd problem on LeetCode with a 430+ day streak. After a year of doing this every single day, I can confidently tell you: LeetCode is a dry platform for micro-optimization, and it has almost nothing to do with real software education. It shouldn't, but it's a problem. The biggest flaw is the learning loop. When you encounter a new architectural or algorithmic concept, you are forced to break your flow. You have to leave the platform, read abstract documentati

DeepSeek V4 Pro now runs on updated weights on AI Gateway. They are used by default when you call deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro , so existing requests pick them up with no change to the model ID or your code. To use the updated DeepSeek V4 Pro, set model to deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro-0813 in the AI SDK . AI Gateway will route to providers with the new weights: To run V4 Pro in a coding agent, use vercel ai-gateway coding-agents setup to connect your agents to AI Gateway, then select deepseek/deepseek-v

If your product has variable or spiky compute requirements, how do you secure capacity when you know you may need a large GPU block in a few weeks or months, but are uncertain about the timing or quantity? The apparent choices are to reserve capacity in advance and risk underutilizing it, or wait and accept price and availability risk in the on-demand market. I’m curious how inference providers, enterprises running fine-tunes or evals, and teams with batch or seasonal workloads handle this in pr

Where each Array element is a numerical value that corresponds to the order of TCAG chemicals on the crossbar of the helix of a DNA strand? Has anyone modeled many DNA strands in this way? If it was done, what kinds of problems could we solve using AI - assuming we could model any known DNA, and predict out generations? ----- I guess there are at least a couple options: 1) Model an entire DNA strand as 1 model, with each gene (section of DNA) being a vector. So you'd have, say, a C. elegans mode

Exa web search is now free on AI Gateway through August 31, and it's now the default web search for eve agents. The tool works with any AI Gateway model, with no separate Exa API key. When the model calls it, AI Gateway routes the request to Exa's Search API, returning web results and extracted page content with support for domain filters, date filters, and token-efficient excerpts. The built-in web_search tool in eve now uses Exa by default when the model is served through AI Gateway. See other

The AI SDK is one of the most popular open-source AI projects in the world. It serves over 20 million npm downloads a week and the repo has over 26,000 stars. Maintaining the codebase means tracking four moving targets at once: Model providers: new providers, new capabilities, and new bugs UI frameworks: bindings for React, Next.js, Svelte, Vue, and others Sandboxes: the execution environments agents run code in Harnesses: adapters for Codex, Claude Code, Pi, and others After multiple years of g

Grok 4.6 from SpaceXAI is now available on AI Gateway . The model has a 500K token context window and accepts text and image inputs. Grok 4.6 supports low, medium, high, and xhigh reasoning levels and defaults to high. To use Grok 4.6, set model to xai/grok-4.6 in the AI SDK : To use it in a coding agent , run vercel ai-gateway coding-agents setup to connect Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Pi, then select xai/grok-4.6 inside the agent. To try Grok 4.5 with no code, try the model in the model pl

Frontier AI is no longer one market with one scoreboard. This week's release wave exposed a contest between three kinds of leverage: controlling access to intelligence, owning the model outright, and deciding which model receives each job. That changes what winning means. The lab with the highest benchmark score may not control deployment. The model installed most widely may not collect the most revenue. And the most powerful company may be the intermediary quietly directing demand. This issue f

Using coding agents means setting up multiple accounts, provisioning API keys, and scattering observability and billing. Now, you can route them through AI Gateway to centralize all of this and add controls, with set up in one command: Any of 200+ models in any agent , including models the agent has no native support for. The gateway routes the request to whichever model you picked, with automatic fallbacks. One dashboard for agent traffic : spend, performance, tokens and more, across the models
