"Count Anything" is intended to be the first AI model capable of counting objects in any type of image, from crowds to cell samples under a microscope, using nothing more than a text prompt. In a comparative test, it cuts the error rate in half compared to previous systems. However, the approach still struggles with extremely dense objects and ambiguous terms. The article New AI model called "Count Anything" does exactly what it says, and that's harder than it sounds appe

The type of food that increases hyperactivity, anxiety, fearfulness, and aggression in preschool children.

Increasing context size in RAG systems doesn’t improve accuracy for aggregation tasks—it makes errors harder to detect. In this article, I benchmark retrieval-based pipelines against a deterministic full-scan engine across 100,000 rows and show why computation queries must be routed away from RAG entirely. The post Larger Context Windows Don’t Fix RAG — So I Built a System That Does appeared first on Towards Data Science.

I’ve struggled with insomnia since I was very young. Like many chronic overthinkers, I tend to fall asleep best when my mind is occupied by something else, such as podcasts, YouTube compilations, or my personal favorite: rain sounds. But earbuds can be uncomfortable, and playing audio out loud isn’t exactly considerate when I’m staying at […]

If you’re planning on traveling anytime soon, Bose’s second-generation QuietComfort Ultra headphones are a great companion for long flights and train rides.

I turned off Siri on the Mac years ago and never looked back. Similarly, I found Apple Intelligence so fruitless I never engage with it. But the new Siri AI coming to macOS 27 Golden Gate has at least got me slightly rethinking things. I'm still early in testing Siri AI, as I've only had […]

The Trump administration has forced Anthropic to disable its latest, most powerful AI models.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is warning against "token-maxing," throwing the most powerful AI models at every problem. Frontier models shouldn't be wasted on everyday tasks, he says. The marginal cost of productivity gains has to match the token cost. Still, Nadella admits, "I'm like a token-maxer too. So it is addictive."

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. As robots advance in terms of dexterity and other physical capabilities , it becomes more likely that humans may find themselves working alongside them. If that happens, how will robots’ emotional capabilities need to advance for them to successfully work with people? In a recent study, researchers trained collaborative robots to read human emotions by not only accounting for facial expressions, but
