Babies are tremendous learning machines, and key advances for AI may soon be found in the architecture of their little brains.

As AI assisted coding can be pretty divisive some SEs don't use any of the tools and some use them heavily. I'm curious to hear do you notice a difference in performance of team members using the tools vs not? Are the ones using them blowing past the rest of the team in terms of features shipped, bugs fixed, productivity? Are faster promotions/higher ratings going to these people?

We’re launching BenchmarkList: one place to track AI benchmarks, models, and capabilities. It’s surprisingly hard to get a complete picture of what AI can and can’t do. Most of the attention goes to a handful of benchmarks focused on coding, math, and reasoning abilities. Meanwhile, researchers, companies, and domain experts are building incredible benchmarks and evals across healthcare, law, trades, and more. But this work is scattered across research papers, GitHub repos, model cards, websites

Built partnered with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center (GenAIIC), AWS Partner AND Digital, and AWS account teams to create a scalable, AI-powered document processing engine that can classify, split, extract, evaluate, and reason over complex real estate finance documents. It reduces workflows that previously took days to minutes, supports hundreds of document types, and gives technical teams and industry experts a shared environment for building and improving document processors.

In this post, we walk you through the Computer Vision MCP Server, which illustrates this approach, representing how AI systems can process visual information and make intelligent decisions through a single, standardized interface. This convergence transforms what was once a complex integration challenge into a streamlined process, making AI capabilities accessible to a broader range of applications and developers.

A University of Pennsylvania statistics professor used OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Pro to disprove a central open conjecture about the Benjamini-Hochberg method in roughly 90 minutes. The predecessor model, GPT-5.5, couldn't find a solution even after 20 hours. The answer combines known methods in a new way, keeping the bigger question alive: can AI produce genuinely new knowledge, or does it just recombine what it already learned? The article GPT-5.6 Sol reportedly disproves a 30-year-old statistics c
