Training a foundation LLM from scratch costs millions and requires internet-scale data — which is why most enterprises don’t bother. Sapient thinks it has a cheaper path.To overcome this brute-force scaling dogma, researchers at Sapient developed HRM-Text, which replaces standard Transformers with a highly sample-efficient Hierarchical Recurrent Model (HRM), an architecture they first introduced last … Read more

Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley’s Center for Responsible, Decentralized Intelligence (RDI), alongside an advisory committee of over 300 domain experts, have launched Agents’ Last Exam (ALE)—a grueling new benchmark built to measure whether artificial intelligence can actually execute economically valuable, long-horizon professional workflows.In a shocking upset, OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 from April, operating through the … Read more

Enterprise AI teams face a dilemma: The best models today might not be the best models a year from now. MassMutual’s answer is to stop making long-term bets — and build infrastructure that can swap models as the market shifts.“The world of AI today is extremely dynamic,” Sears Merritt, MassMutual CIO, explained in a new … Read more

In a sweeping new essay titled “Policy on the AI Exponential,” Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei publicly calls for new government regulations governing the release of powerful AI models — specifically comparing AI industry to commercial aviation, which follows regulations enforced by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) — arguing that this is necessary … Read more

Guest Post by American News Group. Every technological revolution arrives with a shadow. Electricity brought the electrocution hazard and, eventually, the entire safety industry built to contain it. The automobile brought the traffic fatality, and with it seatbelts, airbags, and a century of regulation. The internet brought the data breach, and an entire cybersecurity economy … Read more

Insider Brief Quantropi and Nokia have launched an integrated solution combining D-QKD and Nokia’s Security Management Server to provide quantum-safe out-of-band key distribution. The offering is designed to help organizations mitigate Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) risks through quantum-safe key generation, delivery, and rotation. The integrated solution has been deployed in the Kirq quantum communications … Read more

Insider Brief Researchers at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory and Johns Hopkins University developed a unified noise-modeling framework for superconducting quantum processors that improved predictive accuracy sevenfold compared with existing approaches. Using cloud access to 39 qubits across seven superconducting devices, the team characterized both coherent and incoherent errors without requiring low-level hardware access, reflecting … Read more

Insider Brief U.K. Science Minister Lord Vallance said the country’s quantum strategy is shifting from research leadership toward commercialization, with a focus on scaling companies, creating demand and retaining businesses domestically. The government is using procurement, regulation, skills development and industry partnerships to accelerate quantum adoption, including a previously announced £1.2 billion commitment to procure … Read more

Insider Brief Diamond Quanta announced the publication of a peer-reviewed study describing a laser-processing technique for reducing strain fields in single-crystal diamond without detectable graphitization. The research found that sub-melt nanosecond pulsed-laser processing produced measurable densification and strain-field relaxation at device-relevant depths of approximately 2-3 microns. The findings support Diamond Quanta’s engineered-diamond development roadmap and … Read more
