Phi-4 proves that a 'data-first' SFT methodology is the new differentiator

AI engineers often chase performance by scaling up LLM parameters and data, but the trend toward smaller, more efficient, and better-focused models has accelerated. The Phi-4 fine-tuning methodology [...]

Nous Research's NousCoder-14B is an open-source coding model landing right in the Claude Code moment

Nous Research, the open-source artificial intelligence startup backed by crypto venture firm Paradigm, released a new competitive programming model on Monday that it says matches or exceeds several la [...]

Microsoft-Tsinghua team trains 7B coding model that beats 14B rivals using only synthetic data

Researchers show that an AI model trained on synthetic programming tasks alone can beat larger competitors. A key finding: task variety matters more than the number of solutions.<br /> The artic [...]

Meta’s DreamGym framework trains AI agents in a simulated world to cut reinforcement learning costs

Researchers at Meta, the University of Chicago, and UC Berkeley have developed a new framework that addresses the high costs, infrastructure complexity, and unreliable feedback associated with using r [...]

Market research is too slow for the AI era, so Brox built 60,000 identical 'digital twins' of real people you can survey instantly, repeatedly

In a world where a viral TikTok video can cause a brand to trend globally in mere hours, the traditional market research cycle — often spanning 12 weeks — is becoming a liability. The lag between [...]

AI synthetic audiences are already here and poised to upend the consulting industry

There is a war brewing between AI and consulting. Akin to an armies slow march towards the castle, a new technology is coming to dethrone the expert guessers of Mckinsey, Nielsen, Gartner, Publicis an [...]

Americans can’t spot a deepfake, and that’s a business crisis, not just a consumer problem

Presented by Veriff Americans can’t reliably distinguish real from AI-generated content, and that’s not just a media literacy problem; it’s a direct threat to how businesses verify identity onli [...]

An eval harness found what qualitative review couldn't: AI models are most confident when wrong

There is a step in the development process for large language model (LLM)-assisted tooling that most teams skip because it's tedious, time-consuming, and doesn't produce results visible to e [...]

The 11 runtime attacks breaking AI security — and how CISOs are stopping them or can stop them

Enterprise security teams are losing ground to AI-enabled attacks — not because defenses are weak, but because the threat model has shifted. As AI agents move into production, attackers are exploiti [...]
