Determining how best to incorporate AI in your reporting can be daunting. For journalists and small newsrooms navigating tight deadlines and limited resources, harnessing AI tools to carry out time consuming tasks can be pivotal. For students developing a foundational skill set for future reporting careers, the technology can’t be ignored. Think of AI tools similarly to how you do common applications like Microsoft Excel or Adobe Photoshop: AI can help free up time, which you can in turn dedicate to more in-depth reporting, and more creative writing, visuals and marketing, among other perks. However, a 2024 survey by the…

Recent advances in reinforcement learning (RL) have strengthened the reasoning capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs). However, enhancing policy exploration to more effectively scale test-time compute remains underexplored in VLMs. In addition, VLMs continue to struggle with imperfect visual perception, which in turn affects the subsequent reasoning process. To this end, we propose NoisyRollout, a simple yet effective RL approach that mixes trajectories from both clean and moderately distorted images to introduce targeted diversity in visual perception and the resulting reasoning patterns. Without additional training cost, NoisyRollout enhances the exploration capabilities of VLMs by incorporating a vision-oriented inductive bias. Furthermore, NoisyRollout…

Robert Legato – the respected VFX innovator who won Oscars for “Titanic,” “Hugo” and “The Jungle Book” – has joined Stability AI at chief pipeline architect. In doing so, he reteams with James Cameron, an influential board member for the AI firm. Legato is credited with creating the virtual cinematography pipeline for Cameron’s “Avatar,” which went on to surpass the director’s “Titanic” as the highest grossing film of all time with $2.8 billion at the worldwide box office. Legato’s pioneering work has also included “Apollo 13,” “The Aviator,” and the virtual production of “The Lion King.” He’s also held roles…

One pressing question at the artificial-intelligence (AI) summit in Paris this week was this: is Mistral AI’s assistant a cat, or a chat? Called Le Chat and developed by a French startup as a competitor to ChatGPT, it launched as a smartphone app on February 6th. To the English speaker, Le Chat looks like a French twist on AI chat, which it conducts in English (and other languages). Yet at the jamboree President Emmanuel Macron plugged it using a soft “sh”, rendering Le Chat distinctly feline. Arthur Mensch, Mistral’s 32-year-old boss, says his baby is indeed four-legged. Look carefully at…

Learn More It is tough to remove bias, and in some cases, outright censorship, in large language models (LLMs). One such model, DeepSeek from China, alarmed politicians and some business leaders about its potential danger to national security.  A select committee at the U.S. Congress recently released a report called DeepSeek, “a profound threat to our nation’s security,” and detailed policy recommendations.  While there are ways to bypass bias through Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and fine-tuning, the enterprise risk management startup…

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE BABA) co-founder Jack Ma appeared at Alibaba Cloud’s campus in Hangzhou on Thursday to celebrate its 15th anniversary, SCMP reports. On Wednesday, Alibaba’s cloud unit showcased its Blossom project, which aims to accelerate AI adoption by providing its clients with infrastructure, AI models, data, and other services. The company upgraded global AI tools with Qwen-Max, a new reasoning model, and $1/year developer kits.

NVIDIA’s Wade Vinson during his keynote at Data Center World 2025. Image: Drew Robb/TechnologyAdvice NVIDIA kicked off the Data Center World 2025 event this week in Washington, D.C., with a bold vision for the future of AI infrastructure. In his keynote, Wade Vinson, NVIDIA’s chief data center engineer, introduced the concept of AI-scale data centers; these massive, energy-efficient facilities would meet the soaring demand of accelerated computing. NVIDIA envisions sprawling “AI factories” powered by Blackwell GPUs and DGX SuperPODs, supported by advanced cooling and power systems by Vertiv and Schneider Electric. “There is no doubt that AI factories are a…

A high-profile legal case has unearthed a trove of internal Meta communications, and one particular document has caught the eye of some AI researchers.This reveals new insights into how models are built and could influence who gets to share in the spoils of this new technology.Buried in these court filings is a description of how Meta researchers used a process called ablation to identify which data helped improve the company’s Llama AI models.Ablation is a medical technique that purposely destroys tissue to improve things like brain function. In AI, it involves removing parts of a system to study how those…
