The sellers of AI spent most of May making ads, and pushing their way to almost all categories here. But it is not the only story that is worth seeing. Doctors have used CRISPR to correct a baby’s DNA with a rare and previously not treatable condition. We will not know if the treatment worked for years, but the baby seems to be thriving. And a startup is now selling the latest in neuronal networks. It is made of living (cultivated) neurons and includes a life support system that will keep the neurons for a few weeks. I am not completely convinced that this is real, but I still want to know when you can overcome Alphago.
Artificial intelligence
- Anthrope has launched the first two models in the Claude 4 series: Sonnet and Opus. These are models of hybrid reasoning that provide users to control the amount of time dedicated to “think.” You can use parallel tools and (if you are given access to local files) remember information through a series of applications.
- The new Claude 4 models have a surprising “agent” property: they could Contact the application of the law If you think you are doing something illegal. Who needs a back door? As far as we know, this behavior has only been seen in Anthrope’s investigation into alignment. But we can imagine that training a model to eliminate this behavior could have its own legal consequences.
- Stitch It is an experiment in the use of LLM to help design and generate user interfaces. You can describe the ideas of the user interface in natural language, generate and iterate in some brands, and eventually generate code or paste your design in Figma.
- Google Deepmind is experimentation With diffusion models, which are typically used for the generation of images, in Gemini. They claim that diffusion models can be faster and give users more control. The model is not publicly available, but there is a waiting list.
- Mistral has announced DevstralA new optimized language model for agent coding tasks. It is open source and small enough (24b) to work with a well -equipped laptop. Try to cross the gap between simply generating real -world software code and development.
- Goal has announced its Flame starting programwhich will give new companies of up to $ 6,000/month to pay the use of flame services housed, in addition to providing technical assistance from the flame equipment.
- Langchain has announced Open agent platform (OAP), a platform without code to build intelligent agents with AI. OAP is open source and is available in Github. You can also experiment with him online.
- Google has announced Gemma 3n, a new multimodal model in its Gemma series. GEMMA 3N has been specifically designed for mobile devices. Use a technique called inlays for the layer to reduce its memory requirements to 3 GB for a model with 8B parameters.
- The United Arab Emirates will use AI to help write their laws. Bruce Schneier has an excellent discussion. The use of AI to write laws is not new or necessarily antihuman; AI can be (and has been) designed to empower people instead of concentrating power.
- Deepmind has built AlphaevoleA new general purpose model that uses an evolutionary approach to create new algorithms and improve old. We are not the only ones who ask: “Is it a model? Or is it an agent?” Alphaevolve is not available for the public.
- For some time, Xai’s Grok Llm was turning almost all conversations into a conversation about white genocide. This is not the first time that Grok has delivered a strange and unwanted exit. Instead of being “impartial”, it seems to be reflecting the obsessions of Elon Musk.
- Things that are easy for humans but difficult for AI: Lego You can design a Lego structure based on a text message. The structure can be built with real Lego pieces and can stand when it is assembled. Now we just need a robot to assemble it.
- Microsoft has announced Reasoning versions of its Phi-4 models. There are three versions: reasoning, mini reasoning and more reasoning. All these models are relatively small; The reasoning is 14b parameters, and the mini-condesconization is only 3.8b.
- Google has released GEMINI 2.5 PRO view (I/O edition). It promises improved performance by generating code and has a code video capacity that can generate applications from YouTube videos.
- If you are confused by Openai’s name conventions (or lack of them), the company aware A useful summary of all its models and recommendations on when each model is appropriate.
- A new Automated translation system It can track multiple speakers and translate several languages simultaneously. A model tracks the location and voice characteristics of the individual speakers; Another makes the translation.
- Mistral has announced Le Chat Enterprise, a business solution for AI based on the chat. The chat can be executed in the facilities and can connect to the documents of a company, data sources and other tools.
- Semantic cache storage It is a way to improve performance and reduce the cost for AI. Essentially it is a storage in cache and responses and returns a response from the cache whenever the message is similar.
- Anthrope has announced Claude integrations. Integrations use MCP to connect Claude to existing applications and services. Compatible integrations include consumption applications such as PayPal, tools such as confluence and suppliers such as Cloudflare.
- Google has updated Your AI Sandbox music with new models and new features. Unlike musical generators such as Suno, Music AI Sandbox is designed as a creative tool for musicians to work: edit, extend and generate musical clips.
- Video Deepfakes can now have a beat. A way to detect deep defenders has been to look for subtle changes in skin color caused by a heartbeat. Now Deepfakes can move through that test simulating a pulse.
- Google has built DelfingemmaA model of language trained in dolphins vocalizations. While the model can predict the following sound in a sequence, we still do not know what they are saying; This will help us learn!
- He SHADES The data set has been designed to help model developers find and eliminate harmful stereotypes and other discriminatory behavior. Shades is multilingual; It was built observing how models respond to stereotypes. The data set is available in Hugged face.
Programming
- Microsoft has of open origin The Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL).
- Jules It is Google’s entrance to the enabled coding space. He uses Gemini and proclaims: “Jules does the coding tasks you don’t want to do.” Of course, it is integrated with github, prove your code in a VM in the cloud, create and execute tests and show your reasoning.
- Hardware description languages are difficult and opaque; They look little like any higher level language in use. Shovel It is a new HDL that was designed with modern high -level programming languages in mind; It is strongly influenced by oxide.
- OpenAi has released Codex, a coding agent based on a new version of O3 that has received specialized training for programming. You can extract a code base from a git repository, write a new code, generate extraction requests and use a test sandbox. It is only available for professional subscribers.
- When generating code, LLMs have a problematic tendency to write too much, to favor detailed and too designed solutions. Fred Benenson Discussions The problem and offers some solutions.
- Nothing He is a dependency manager who can do a lot to improve the safety of the supply chain. Its objective is to demonstrate the integrity of the sources used to build software, track all the sources and chains of tools used in the compilation and export the sources used in each launch to facilitate third -party audits.
- OpenAi has announced A connector that allows the Chatgpt’s deep research function to investigate the code in Github. How will deep investigation be carried out in the inherited code bases? We’ll see.
- There is a proposal to Explicit Resources Management In JavaScript. wearing and wait The statements ensure that resources are eliminated when they leave.
- Deepwiki It is a “free encyclopedia of all Github rests.” He obtains a summary (apparently) generated by the AI of the repository, in addition to a chatbot on how to use the repository.
- A catalog of “code smells” It is a pleasant and useful job. The website is a bit uncomfortable, but you can search and have detailed explanations of software antipatrones, complete with examples and solutions.
- For those who do not remember their terminal commands: Zev It is a command line tool that uses AI (Openai, Google Gemini, Azure OpenAi or Ollama) to take a verbal description of what you want to do and turn it into a command. You can copy/paste the command or execute it through a menu.
- Docker has introduced Docker models runnerAnother way to execute large language models locally. Executing a model is as simple as executing a container.
Web
- CSS Minecraft it’s a Minecraft Clone that runs in the browser, completely implemented in HTML and CSS. There is no javascript involved. Here is an explanation of How it works.
- Microsoft has announced NLWEBA project that allows websites to integrate MCP support easily. The result: any website can become an AI application.
- 10Web It has built a generative application without code to build electronic commerce sites. What distinguishes it is that it generates code that can be executed in WordPress, and allows customers “white brands” new sites exporting that ability to request.
- What would happen if your browser had a fully integrated agent? What happens if it was built around AI from the beginning, not as a complement? It could be like Strawberry.
- TO survey Web developers says that while most developers are using AI, less than 25% of their code is generated by AI. A solid majority (76%) says that more than half of the code generated by AI must be referred to before it can be used.
Security
- The safe messaging signal has aggregate A feature that prevents Microsoft withdrawal from taking screen screenshots. It is an interesting trick that uses Windows built -in DRM to disable screenshots per application.
- How do you distinguish good bots and agents from the malicious? Cloud frame suggestions Use of cryptography, specifically, the HTTP message signature standard. Operai is already doing it.
Quantum computing
- Researchers have demonstrated Correction of quantum errors for Qudits, such as qubits, but with three or more states instead of two.
Biology
- Cortical cloud He claims to be a programmable biological computer: laboratory neurons with a digital interface and a life support system in a box. When can you play chess?
