Big quote: Nvidia has been raking in record-breaking revenue from its AI data center business. But this time it was the gaming division that unexpectedly stole some of the spotlight. For Q1 FY26, Nvidia’s gaming revenue surged to a record $3.8 billion, up 42% year-over-year and 48% quarter-over-quarter. That’s the fastest growth rate the gaming GPU segment has seen in years, and even exceeding Wall Street’s expectations by over 30%. As for what’s behind the surge, analysts says it’s all got to do with Nvidia’s “Blackwell ramp.” The new GPUs may be rolling out faster than any generation before, which…

According to Business Insider, only three of the 14 researchers credited on the 2023 Llama paper remain employed at Meta. Five of the Llama paper’s co-authors have joined Mistral in the past 18 months, intensifying scrutiny around Meta’s…

Anthropic released the Claude 4 family last week, just a few months after making Claude 3.7 available to users.Claude 4 is so powerful that Anthropic had to increase security for the model. Tests showed that Claude 4 would otherwise make it easier for people with nefarious intentions to obtain help creating bioweapons or new viruses. Also, safety tests proved that Claude 4 will attempt to do whatever it takes to save itself from deletion, including blackmailing staff tasked with the job. The most controversial Claude 4 feature is the AI’s intention to notify authorities and the press if it thinks…

[Submitted on 2 Feb 2025 (v1), last revised 1 Jun 2025 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled LLM Safety Alignment is Divergence Estimation in Disguise, by Rajdeep Haldar and 4 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:We present a theoretical framework showing that popular LLM alignment methods, including RLHF and its variants, can be understood as divergence estimators between aligned (safe or preferred) and unaligned (harmful or less preferred) distributions. This perspective explains the emergence of separation in the latent space between safe and harmful prompts after alignment. As an application of our general divergence framework,…

Will AI automate human jobs, and — if so — which jobs and when? That’s the trio of questions a new research study from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), out this morning, tries to answer. There’s been many attempts to extrapolate out and project how the AI technologies of today, like large language models, might impact people’s’ livelihoods — and whole economies — in the future. Goldman Sachs estimates that AI could automate 25% of the entire labor market in the next few years. According to McKinsey, nearly half of all work will be AI-driven by 2055.…
