This week, leaders of Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, xAI and Nvidia signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence. The companies committed to four layers of oversight for frontier models: internal controls, an internal team that verifies them, an independent external auditor or evaluator, and an independent board committee. The commitments are voluntary for now,…

The cloud experience is becoming something enterprises can buy and operate in their own facilities. Oxide Computer Company has raised a $445 million Series D to expand that proposition: an integrated computing system that combines hardware and open-source software into infrastructure its customers own. The October 9 announcement identifies Eclipse as the lead investor, with…

A longtime AI researcher, inventor, and entrepreneur, Hodjat previously co-founded Sentient Technologies, where he helped build one of the world’s largest…
Without the ability to benchmark Large Language Models (LLMs), it is difficult for consumers and businesses to understand what progress a model has made over recent versions, and how it stands up to its competitors: Since LLMs are non-deterministic (i.e., they will not always produce consistent outputs given the same inputs), evaluating them is tricky….
For years, cybersecurity has been obsessed with visibility. We wanted to see more of the network, collect more telemetry, correlate more events, and detect threats earlier. So we built dashboards. Then we built better dashboards. Then we added machine learning to those dashboards. Now we are adding AI. But at some point, we have to…
Why it matters: Prompt injection attacks explained and how to defend against them: real incidents, measured results, and a 7-step layered plan with working code.
The bias-variance tradeoff describes tension between models that are too rigid to capture real structure and models that react too strongly to the particular training sample. This guide explains the mechanism, trade-offs, evaluation, and controls that matter in practice.
Students are engaging with AI faster than schools can respond. Districts need a real literacy strategy, not just a usage policy. New York City gave 600,000 elementary and middle school students an answer to the AI question, and it’s no. The nation’s largest school district announced a one-year moratorium on student-facing generative AI through eighth…
People interrupt. They laugh over someone else’s last sentence, offer a quick agreement before a speaker has finished, and keep talking while music or traffic fills the background. For a voice AI developer, that everyday messiness creates a difficult data problem: a recording can contain exactly the conversational behavior a model needs to learn, yet…
