At the AI Engineering World's Fair a big part of the conversation was to nail the self improvement loop. Our take on this is to record state of the agent execution with a durable runtime, then allow users to replay from state checkpoints and run 'what-if' experiments. It's OSS and free to use. Would love some feedback from the community. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48807786 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

OpenAI's GPT-4 led the Epoch Capabilities Index for about a year, far longer than any model since. Since Claude 3 Opus took the top spot in February 2024, the lead has changed hands 17 times, with a median stay of just seven weeks. Competition is fiercer now, but the capability gains between models are shrinking. The article GPT-4's dominance lasted a year while today's top models barely survive seven weeks at the top appeared first on The Decoder .

PSA: A change to Google's privacy settings let it train its AI on more of your data. Here's how to opt out.

In this post, we walk through how to get started with MiniMax models on Amazon Bedrock, including the capabilities supported by these models, the service tiers available, how on-demand inference scales to handle your workloads, and the different APIs you can use to access them. Using these models, customers can build agentic applications, long-context document analysis pipelines, and software engineering workflows, all backed by the security and operational guarantees of AWS.

In this post, you deploy a two-phase infrastructure for multi-turn RL using Amazon Nova Forge on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod. By the end, you have an event-driven pipeline that starts training when you upload data to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). The training job teaches the model to play Wordle, a placeholder for your own RL task.

In this post, we present a multi-step pipeline directed by Amazon Nova, which uses its contextual vision reasoning to coordinate complementary tools, including Meta’s open-source Segment Anything Model (SAM 3) deployed on Amazon SageMaker AI for pixel-level segmentation, and Amazon Textract for optical character recognition (OCR). This pipeline is designed to provide comprehensive and compliant PII redaction even for challenging edge cases such as fingerprints, ID cards, or license plates in arb

<p>Thousands of gaming jobs will be shed over the coming fiscal year as Microsoft continues to invest heavily in AI</p><p>Microsoft said on Monday it was eliminating about 4,800 jobs – roughly 2% of its global workforce – in a cost-cutting move that will deliver a sweeping restructuring of its struggling Xbox gaming division.</p><p>The cuts include the deepest overhaul in Xbox’s history, with approximately 3,200 gaming jobs to be shed over the coming fiscal year, four game studios being spun off

In this post, you learn how to use the new MLflow integration with Amazon SageMaker AI optimized inference recommendation jobs and Amazon SageMaker AI benchmark jobs to automatically stream experiment data into a unified tracking interface. This integration streams metrics, parameters, and charts into your serverless Amazon SageMaker MLflow App in real time and you get a unified experiment tracking experience.

Get excited for a feature film starring an AI character that doesn't exist in any real way.

One morning in 2019, Adebayo Alonge was in a Cape Town hotel room, preparing to demonstrate his startup’s AI answer to a serious problem in African health care: Counterfeit medication, which kills thousands of people across the continent every year. The Rxscanner is a handheld spectrometer that scans a pill with infrared light, then sends the item’s molecular profile to an AI model equipped with a pharmaceutical database. In seconds, the AI identifies the medication from its molecular profile—or

Claude Code finally has an official Linux desktop app. It's a great option, but trying to use local AI is where things get tricky.

The role is shifting from building models to managing them.

Every year, the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) reveals where thousands of AI researchers have decided to put their work. This year’s accepted papers reveal a clear direction: open frontier models and open AI infrastructure have become foundational to how modern AI science gets done. NVIDIA had 74 papers accepted at ICML 2026. Approximately […]

I have a broad but shallow technical background (longtime management consultant) and use agents (a variety of services and models in VS Code) extensively for my own projects. I know I'm hitting a ceiling. My workflow is naive and nonpro, a lot of tinkering and bashing my way through code generation, context drift, manual fixes, etc. I want to learn how senior engineers treat these tools. Processes, systems, guardrails, must-dos, etc. If you write code for a living and have integrated agents into

A couple of editions ago I wrote about what I find so energizing about working with startups. Last week I got a fresh dose of it: I spent a few days with the AWS Startups team, listening to stories of founders talking about the problems they’re actually solving. One story that stayed with me came […]

This is just something I've been thinking about. My experience is that agents aren't useful if you view them as programmers, because you still have to audit all the code until we get to the point where you don't, which may be quite far off. But if you view them as a replacement/driver for the Unix shell, as much as I have loved it for many years, it does seem like you can move faster.

Microsoft cut around 4,800 roles, or 2.1% of its global workforce, on Monday — the latest in a series of layoffs that’s stoking fears of AI replacing jobs. The layoffs will hit Xbox and commercial sales the hardest.

In the AI era, platforms have no choice but to fight fire with fire to cull spam.

On this page there are two complete recreations of the original Gameboy Tetris game based on the commented assembly code. On the top level there is a C version that compiles to WASM but on every pixel of that version there is a GLSL shader also implementing the complete original code with a AI player making virtual inputs! Everything was planned by me and coded by Claude Fable. Brazilian tileset generated by Gemini so I'm not technically using any copyrighted assets. Link to repo: https://github

I had the idea for Keyhole while bootstrapping a bunch of small services and apps. I'm trying to prototype fast, and sometimes these need a variety of secrets. I use Doppler to remove myself from the loop, but once in a while I still need to provide a secret. AI agents will suggest you rotate a secret once it's been shared in a chat. I thought it would be a cool experience to let your agent ask for secrets without having them dumped in the context. The agent runs a command, a form pops up in my

genuinely, who do you think wants to read it? why do some of you wait to disclose that it's AI-written until the footer? what kind of internet are you interested in creating or experiencing, or do you just not even think about this?
