Stockholm-based Lovable has raised $400 million in Series C funding at a $13.3 billion valuation, the company announced on August 12, 2026, following its Series B in December 2025 (valuation not disclosed in the company’s announcement). Menlo Ventures led the round, with the Scaleup Europe Fund, managed by EQT, co-leading. The round draws a deliberately…
SpaceXAI, the artificial intelligence company formerly known as xAI, released Grok 4.6 on August 12, 2026, a new flagship model built for long-running agents and more ambitious interactive and visual work. The model is available the same day in the Cursor code editor and the company’s own Grok Build tool, as well as through its…
DeepSeek has released the production version of its flagship model, DeepSeek V4 Pro, ending a preview period that ran nearly four months. The build, designated V4 Pro 0813, appeared on August 12, 2026, as the general-availability release on OpenRouter’s model page, and DeepSeek’s own API documentation now lists DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 as the model version behind the…
Why it matters: See how a semantic knowledge graph for LLM agents slashes hallucinations, adds memory, and lifted answer accuracy from 17 to 54 percent in tests.
Why it matters: Cut AI training energy without losing accuracy: compare mixed precision, quantization, pruning, distillation, and carbon aware scheduling with real numbers.
Meshy has released Meshy 7, its new image-to-3D foundation model, pairing the launch with something the 3D generation field has largely lacked: a geometry benchmark that scores a generated model directly against a known correct answer. In the company’s announcement, published August 12, 2026, Meshy says Meshy 7 leads every model tested on all three…
Google DeepMind has shipped a sign-language-to-text model, SL2T, inside two consumer Android products, the first time sign language AI has reached a shipping phone feature. The model powers sign-to-text dictation in Gboard and Live Transcribe on Pixel 11 phones, launching with American Sign Language to English translation on August 12, 2026. The feature works anywhere…
New research suggests that sci-fi’s most popularly-depicted method of interfacing with AI may actually produce worse results than even badly-typed prompts. From HAL to Deep Thought, from C3P0 to Wall-E, the idealized form of human/AI relations has always centered around voice-control; and this has manifested in the real world, from early assistant systems such as…
Liquid AI released LFM2.5-VL-3B on August 12, 2026, a 3.1-billion-parameter open-weight vision-language model built to run on phones, laptops, and single GPUs rather than in a data center. The model, announced on the company’s blog and posted to Hugging Face with weights available immediately, extends last year’s LFM2-VL-3B with stronger screen understanding, object grounding, multi-image…
Healthcare providers and payers have begun to adopt AI technology; now they need to make the leap to AI orchestration. In the field, we see this disconnect manifest in patient access. Providers made the investment, deployed the solutions, but patients still face friction accessing care. We’re often asked – how do we, and our populations,…
