Large language models largely remain black boxes in terms of what is happening inside them to produce the outputs that they do. They have also been a bit of a black box in terms of who is using them and what they are doing with them. OpenAI, with some help from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), set out to figure out what exactly its growing user base is getting up to with its chatbot. It found a surprising amount of personal use and a closing “gender gap” among its frequent users. In an NBER working paper authored by…

The home of filmmaker, musician, and artist David Lynch could be yours for $15 million. Prior to his death this past January, Lynch lived on a compound that spanned 2.3 acres. The Hollywood Hills home was built in 1963 by Lloyd Wright, son of the modernist architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and Lynch expanded it to include the two neighboring lots. He lived there for more than 35 years, using the space as both a living quarters and a workspace, with an editing space and a private screening room on site, according to the Zillow listing for the home.

The companies seeking to build larger AI models have been increasingly stymied by a lack of high-quality training data. As tech firms scour the web for more data to feed their models, they could increasingly rely on potentially sensitive user data. A team at Google Research is exploring new techniques to make the resulting large language models (LLMs) less likely to “memorize” any of that content. LLMs have non-deterministic outputs, meaning you can’t exactly predict what they’ll say. While the output varies even for identical inputs, models do sometimes regurgitate something from their training data—if trained with personal data, the…

Y Combinator hosted its Summer 2025 Demo Day last week, showcasing the latest batch of over 160 startups. As with recent batches, the majority of startups presented AI-centric solutions. However, a clear evolution was evident. Instead of  “AI-powered” products, many companies are now building AI agents or the infrastructure and tools needed to develop them. For instance, this batch had a flurry of voice AI solutions and new businesses focused on helping others monetize the “AI economy” with ads and marketing tools. We spoke with a handful of YC-focused  investors to learn which startups they found most interesting and which…

Share prices of IBM have nearly doubled in just three years. Investors are excited by the company’s shift into hot technologies. International Business Machines (IBM 1.15%), which is usually referred to by its ticker IBM, is a global icon in the technology sector. The company has a surprising ability to change with the times, and it’s been doing so for more than 100 years now. Indeed, when IBM was founded back in 1911, it made things like scales and clocks. Today, it makes all sorts of equipment, including quantum computers, and it supports the cloud computing industry, which is the…

At one point in the past, the phrase “When GM sneezes, the US catches a cold” was bantered around to signify how much of the economy was dominated by car manufacturers. The phrase was a modification of an older version, “When America sneezes, the world catches a cold.” Setting aside the idiom “catch a cold” for now, the phrase recognized the disproportionate economic influence the United States has on the rest of the world. At this point in the current AI cycle (there have been others in the past), Generative AI (GenAI) has certainly taken over a significant portion of…

Today, we are excited to announce a new capability of Amazon SageMaker HyperPod task governance to help you optimize training efficiency and network latency of your AI workloads. SageMaker HyperPod task governance streamlines resource allocation and facilitates efficient compute resource utilization across teams and projects on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters. Administrators can govern accelerated compute allocation and enforce task priority policies, improving resource utilization. This helps organizations focus on accelerating generative AI innovation and reducing time to market, rather than coordinating resource allocation and replanning tasks. Refer to Best practices for Amazon SageMaker HyperPod task governance for…

Tesla CEO Elon Musk purchased roughly $1 billion in Tesla shares on Friday, and analysts are now breaking down the move as the stock is headed upward. One of them is William Blair analyst Jed Dorsheimer, who said in a new note to investors on Monday that Musk’s move should send a signal of confidence to stock buyers, especially considering the company’s numerous catalysts that currently exist.
