<p>Agentic applications can fail mid-run: a network call drops, a server process crashes, an LLM request times out. Without durability built in, these failures mean lost progress and repeated (wasted) LLM calls when the process has to start over.</p> <p>Pydantic AI provides a native integration with <strong>Temporal</strong>, a durable execution engine. Temporal records each step of a workflow's execution as an event history, so if a process crashes, it can resume from where it left off instead

<p>There is a specific moment, the first time you slip on a pair of AI smart glasses, when the world acquires a faint second skin. The lenses look ordinary. The frames are heavier than the acetate you are used to, but not by much. A small LED on the rim glows for a second and then settles into something almost imperceptible. You catch your reflection in a shop window and you look, more or less, like yourself. And yet the air around your face has changed. Somewhere between the bridge of your nose

<h2> What Changed </h2> <p>Traditional computer vision models process entire images in a single, global computation, a stark contrast to the human visual system's sequential, foveated glimpses. Recent research, inspired by length generalization issues in language models, reveals that this global processing in vision models leads to a critical failure in generalizing to tasks with increased complexity or length beyond their training distribution. The core finding is that strictly local, sequentia

At the World AI Conference in Shanghai, Xi Jinping announced 5,000 AI training slots for Global South countries and the launch of the "World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization." Cooperation centers with ASEAN, the African Union, BRICS, and other alliances are planned to follow. China is systematically building a parallel AI governance structure outside Western influence. The article China's new World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization is President Xi's clearest play y

The British AI Security Institute warns that open-weight models like GLM-5.2 and DeepSeek V4-Pro now trail closed frontier models in cyber capabilities by four to seven months. At the start of 2025, the gap was still six to ten months. It also found that safety measures on open models are largely ineffective, leaving defenders less time to prepare. The article Open-weight models now match frontier cyber performance from just four months ago at a fraction of the cost appeared first on The Decoder

So, over-simplified, Oracle has agreed to build 7GW of data centres (costing about 300bn) in order to sell them to OpenAI who will pay 300bn over 5yrs. But if they don’t build the DC they don’t get cash, and if something something AI bubble then openAI cannot pay and so S&P500 just marked them down as one rung above junk (if they hit junk huge numbers of portfolios have to drop them etc etc) So basically it’s not likely but not impossible the Oracle can collapse under the weight of capex costs f

Hi all, I wanted to reshare this after some time. I've been working on evolving my service framework into an agent harness. As all of this AI tooling has evolved its become clear to me that agents, services and workflows are part of a core system of operations which would benefit from a single framework. Previously Go Micro only enabled service development. But now it includes Agents and Workflows. What does that mean? Well firstly services which are registered in a central registry automaticall

Github currently doesn’t let you unstar repositories in bulk. To resolve that let me introduce Workaround : a web app where users can not only unstar GitHub repos in bulk but also use AI filters and discover and star repos with AI. https://github.com/Ayush0054/workaround Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48956548 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Hey everyone, I don’t use social media much. I spend around 30 minutes a day on X and sometimes Reddit. I stopped using Instagram a few months ago because my feed had become repetitive, distracting, and full of content I never intentionally asked for. And I usually have a purpose of scrolling, but this is getting harder day by day because of so much brainrot content. Whereas my partner is very found of scrolling, and I have noticed heat in our relationship when she take relationship advice from

Today, I was asking Ai about the Canadian Wildfires and forest management. Instantly, the ai resorted to following the common narrative, and pushed macro human-caused climate change as an “objective fact.” I wanted to push back on the logic of this, because this narrative goes against core principles of scientific transparency. I wanted to highlight scientific principals: we are unable to run a double blind, controlled laboratory experiment on a duplicate of earth, that our historical proxy data

The US Department of the Navy has signed a strategy to "weaponize" data and AI and build an "AI-first" fleet. Large language models would run directly on warships, and an AI war council would prioritize mission scenarios. The core message is that moving too slowly carries greater risks than "imperfect alignment." The article The Pentagon's new AI playbook treats slow adoption as a bigger risk than "imperfect alignment" appeared first on The Decoder .

Anthropic will include Claude Fable 5 in Max and Team Premium plans starting July 20, but at just 50 percent of regular limits, which themselves drop by a third that same day. Pro users get a one-time $100 credit, then pay API rates. The reversal from Anthropic's original plan to pull Fable from subscriptions entirely likely comes down to competitive pressure from OpenAI's cheaper GPT-5.6 Sol.
