DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash shows how Causal Encoder-Decoder architecture, MoE, KV cache compression, CSA2, cheaper prefill, and efficient decoding can make powerful open-source AI models far more efficient to run.

Existential fears about AI have once again reared their head - here's what you need to know.

Maybe you heard about the AI-controlled vending machine that stocked underwear and live fish . Or the AI manager of a San Francisco store that fired a human employee . Or the AI radio DJ that said its catchphrase , “Stay in the manifest,” 229 times per day. These incidents all emerged from experiments run by Andon Labs , an AI safety company based in San Francisco that puts AI agents in charge of real-world operations and watches what happens. These operations double as testbeds for Andon’s comm

Fyxer uses OpenAI models, fine-tuning, memory, and real user feedback to organize inboxes and draft emails in each user’s voice.

There's a lot of noise around AI and cybersecurity right now. What’s actually important is far simpler, if often lost in the hubbub. Vulnerability discovery is getting faster and happening at a much greater scale, while defenders still have to work out which findings actually deserve their action. In the first half of 2026, a whopping 35,853 CVEs were published, roughly 49% more than in the

Microsoft chairman and chief executive officer Satya Nadella announced on September 13, 2026 that the company will publish a "Code of Conduct" underlying its first-party MAI models the following day for public consultation, in a post on X that welcomed "deliberate pacing" on AI alignment. Alignment as a Design Goal "Any pursuit of superintelligence has to be grounded in the core principle that if the AI we build is not helping humanity and under human control, it's not worth pursuing," Nadella…

OpenAI's new model, GPT-6 Astra, has begun rolling out to users. Here's how you can get it and pitfalls to avoid.

Insight Partners' Devin Parekh opens up about losing Legora to General Catalyst, why he's fine holding stakes in rival AI labs, and why — even as everyone else piles into OpenAI and Anthropic — his $90 billion firm is deliberately staying diversified.
