We present Qwen-Audio-3.1-ASR, a family of audio-language models that builds upon its predecesor Qwen-Audio-3.0-ASR with improved speech recognition and expanded capabilities in speaker-diarized transcription and general audio understandin…
Training coding agents typically updates the policy while keeping the harness fixed. During training, trajectories reveal flawed repair strategies and interaction problems that vary across tasks and change as the policy learns. We introduc…
Continuous flow language models offer a path to parallel generation with tools for control and acceleration unavailable to discrete diffusion, yet effective techniques for building them at the billion-parameter scale remain less establishe…
Nature Machine Intelligence, Published online: 20 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s42256-026-01318-5 Sharp et al. investigate the implications of unequal access to AI agents and of differences in their quality and number, developing a conceptual…
Geometric Relative Positional Encoding has become the primary mechanism for injecting spatial inductive biases into multi-view transformers. Existing designs condition attention on camera-level frustums or ray-marched depth, associating cr…
In a hierarchical multi-agent system, a Leader assigns tasks and subagents carry them out. Jointly training the Leader and the subagents is difficult because a final answer gives only indirect feedback to the subagents. An LLM judge can sc…
My obituary for programming Jeremy Scheff poignantly captures the key loss caused by coding agents for career programmers who enjoyed the puzzle of developing code: Programming turned into one of the greatest jobs you could imagine. You go…
Amazon Bedrock now supports structured outputs for all Anthropic Claude models on both the bedrock-runtime and bedrock-mantle endpoints. Receive schema-compliant JSON that conforms to a defined structure, without custom parsing, retry logi…
The idea of embedded evaluators — in which supposedly "neutral" third-party observers are placed inside AI organizations — has been popularized over the last several months, as AI labs grapple with a rash of safety incidents that have spur…
New Amazon SageMaker AI customers can now land in a fully configured SageMaker Studio environment in only a few steps. Sign up with an identity you already have, such as Amazon, Apple, GitHub, or Google, with no advanced AWS account or cre…
The US is building more fossil fuel infrastructure than it has in a decade while renewable energy growth slows down, a new report shows. Electricity demand is also climbing faster than it has in more than a decade with more data centers, f…
CoreWeave had a bad week last week. Its bonds slipped into distressed territory by a common definition - when investors demand 1,000 basis points more in yield than they'd get from government bonds. Last Tuesday Chamath "SPAC King" Palihap…
Amazon SageMaker JumpStart onboarded over 100 new models from 30 providers in the first three quarters of 2026. This recap covers the model-onboarding highlights and JumpStart enhancements, including the simplified Model Hub, pre-configure…
