Image: Anthropic Anthropic has introduced a new Research function in its Claude artificial intelligence model, enabling the system to autonomously perform multi-step investigations. Claude can deliver a well-reasoned response with verifiable citations in just minutes, aiming to strike a “balance of speed and quality.” The AI startup says Claude responds to prompts “agentically,” independently working out what information it needs to grab next to build the correct response. It “explores different angles of your question automatically and works through open questions systematically,” Anthropic said in its press release. The Research feature is currently in early beta and can be accessed…
Alphabet Inc.’s GOOG GOOGL Google’s DeepMind is diving into marine science with a new AI model designed to help researchers decode dolphin communication. What Happened: Earlier this week, Google DeepMind introduced DolphinGemma, an AI model trained to generate and interpret dolphin-like vocalizations. Built on Google’s open-source Gemma architecture, DolphinGemma was developed in collaboration with the Wild Dolphin Project (WDP), a nonprofit that studies Atlantic spotted dolphins in their natural habitat. Using data collected from decades of dolphin field recordings, the model can produce sequences that mimic real dolphin sounds. See Also: Google Implements Layoffs In HR And Cloud Divisions As…
Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More OpenAI launched two groundbreaking AI models today that can reason with images and use tools independently, representing what experts call a step change in artificial intelligence capabilities. The San Francisco-based company introduced o3 and o4-mini, the latest in its “o-series” of reasoning models, which it claims are its most intelligent and capable models to date. These systems can integrate images directly into their reasoning process, search the web, run code, analyze files, and even generate images within a single task flow.…
Tesla Sweden is still dealing with a number of strikes due to its conflict with IF Metall, but the electric vehicle maker seems to be getting better at overcoming the unions’ efforts. Tesla’s clever workarounds have resulted in network owner Telge Nät apologizing to the unions after two new Superchargers were opened despite the sympathy strikes of the Elektrikerna union and Seko. Tesla Sweden’s New Superchargers While Tesla’s main conflict in Sweden is with trade union IF Metall, a number of other unions have initiated sympathy strikes against the company. These include the Elektrikerna union and Seko, both of which…

[Submitted on 14 Apr 2025 (v1), last revised 16 Apr 2025 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled Self-Controlled Dynamic Expansion Model for Continual Learning, by Runqing Wu and 3 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Continual Learning (CL) epitomizes an advanced training paradigm wherein prior data samples remain inaccessible during the acquisition of new tasks. Numerous investigations have delved into leveraging a pre-trained Vision Transformer (ViT) to enhance model efficacy in continual learning. Nonetheless, these approaches typically utilize a singular, static backbone, which inadequately adapts to novel tasks, particularly when engaging with diverse data domains, due…
Coding agents are now available in VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, expanding developer tool choices as the AI agent trend gains mainstream momentum. GitHub Copilot agent mode became generally available April 4, including a tie-in with Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code integrated development environment (IDE). This week, JetBrains made its Junie coding agent available to users of its IDEs, which include IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, PhpStorm, GoLand and RubyMine. Coding agents were already available from vendors such as Windsurf and Cursor. Atlassian also introduced a coding agent with an update to its Rovo product this month. JetBrains and Atlassian both…
Researchers from Stanford University early today published the latest edition of their annual AI Index Report, detailing the growing influence of artificial intelligence technologies on our society and the global economy. The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, known as Stanford HAI, has been publishing its annual reports on the state of the AI industry since 2017. This year’s edition, the eighth, is the “most comprehensive” report to date, spanning more than 430 pages. The authors say it’s arriving at a critical juncture as the influence of AI across society rapidly accelerates with the emergence of increasingly capable and sophisticated…
