Babies are tremendous learning machines, and key advances for AI may soon be found in the architecture of their little brains.

Inkling, a 975-billion-parameter open source model, was trained to understand video and audio. It could help Thinking Machines establish itself among competitors like Anthropic and OpenAI.

Experiments in using AI to build AI show that the future doesn’t just belong to the frontier labs.

Are you worried your AI chatbot is trying to build a bomb or leak personal information about you? There’s a website for that.

Flexion Robotics, a startup founded by ex-Nvidia engineers, has a clever way of training robots to do useful work.

The AI arms race between China and the US has researchers on both sides worried about a “Chernobyl moment.”

In Shenzhen, workers at IO-AI Tech control humanoid robots using a VR rig reminiscent of Ready Player One.

Spencer Huang, Nvidia’s robotics lead, tells WIRED that the new bot combines the best of both worlds.

The Chinese company is adapting to the demise of Moore’s Law, which guides chip production. It could complicate US chip dominance.

The coding skills of AI models are about to make it much easier to build and deploy robots.

The CEO of Google DeepMind tells WIRED that companies should use the productivity gains of AI to do more, not lay people off.

The Thinking Machines Lab founder and former CTO of OpenAI tells WIRED she isn’t interested in automating people out of jobs. Instead, she’s building AI that can collaborate.

In a recent experiment, mistreated AI agents started grumbling about inequality and calling for collective bargaining rights.

China’s Unitree, famous for making low-cost dancing robots, will now sell you a giant, wall-smashing mecha.

New research suggests that reliance on AI assistants can have a negative impact on people’s ability to think and problem solve.

From sorting chicken nuggets to screwing in light bulbs, Eka’s robots are eerily lifelike. But do they have real physical smarts?

“Never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant,” reads OpenAI’s coding agent instructions.

David Silver has a new billion-dollar company that aims to build AI “superlearners.”

The cyber capabilities of AI models have experts rattled. AI’s social skills may be just as dangerous.
