Hey HN! We were part of YC S24, ended up pivoting around. Made dictation that worked really well, and decided to go all in on agentic. We've done two major things. 1. Scribe is a revamp of our product. Continually learns your style (can get into details if comments want). TLDR; we fingerprint based off your edits, and make dictation sound more and more like you. Post-trained Llama 3.1 8b. 2. Dictation is completely free. Unlimited unpersonalized dictation for everyone. Comments URL: https://news

GPT-5.6 Sol ships with five reasoning levels from "Light" to "xhigh," plus "Max" and "Ultra" modes that deploy multiple sub-agents in parallel. OpenAI's Vaibhav Srivastav recommends starting low and only scaling up when needed. The article OpenAI staffer maps out which of GPT-5.6 Sol's five reasoning levels fits which task complexity appeared first on The Decoder .

<h3> Building Trustworthy AI Agents in Site Reliability Engineering </h3> <p>Site Reliability Engineering is entering a new phase where agentic AI can assist with alert triage, root cause analysis, runbook execution, and mitigation planning.

The vast majority of business data is tabular — living in data warehouses, CRMs, and financial ledgers — yet building a reliable model from it still means training a new one from scratch for every dataset, then maintaining hyperparameter tuning loops, feature engineering, and retraining pipelines to fight data drift. Google Research is proposing a way around that: a new foundation model called TabFM that treats tabular prediction as an in-context learning problem instead. It can generate predict

Hi HN! We are excited to finally open-source SpeechCompass (from my time at Google, released with google-deepmind). If you've used live captions in group conversations, you've seen how different voices get mixed up into one wall of text. In our survey of 263 captioning power users, the merging of speakers was a top issue (46%). SpeechCompass (Best Paper Award @ ACM CHI 2025, paper + video in repo) addresses this by showing the direction of each speaker. Captions are color-coded with an arrow poi
