Large reasoning models have achieved remarkable performance through extended chain-of-thought sequences, yet this computational freedom leads to excessive token generation even for simple problems. We present Length-Adaptive Policy Optimization (LAPO), a novel framework that transforms reasoning length control from an external constraint into an intrinsic model capability. Unlike existing approaches that impose rigid limits or rely on post-hoc interventions, LAPO enables models to internalize an understanding of appropriate reasoning depth through a two-stage reinforcement learning process. In the first stage, models learn natural reasoning patterns by discovering the statistical distribution of successful solution lengths. The second stage leverages these patterns…

PerformLine operates within the marketing compliance industry, a specialized subset of the broader compliance software market, which includes various compliance solutions like anti-money laundering (AML), know your customer (KYC), and others. Specifically, marketing compliance refers to adhering to regulations and guidelines set by government agencies that make sure a company’s marketing, advertising, and sales content and communications are truthful, accurate, and not misleading for consumers. PerformLine is the leading service providing comprehensive compliance oversight across marketing, sales, and partner channels. As pioneers of the marketing compliance industry, PerformLine…

References to “gpt-5-reasoning-alpha-2025-07-13” have already been spotted on X, with code showing “reasoning_effort: high” in the model configuration. These sightings suggest the model has entered final testing phases, with testers getting their hands on the code and security experts doing red teaming on the model to test vulnerabilities. Unifying OpenAI’s model lineup The new model represents OpenAI’s attempt to simplify its increasingly complex product lineup. As Altman explained in February, GPT-5 may integrate features from both the company’s conventional GPT models and its reasoning-focused o-series models into a single system. “We’re truly excited to not just make a net new…

Researchers from Stanford University today published an update to their Foundation Model Transparency Index, which looks at the transparency of popular generative artificial intelligence models such as OpenAI’s GPT family, Google LLC’s Gemini models and Meta Platforms Inc.’s Llama series. The FMTI, which was first published in October, is designed to assess the transparency of some of the most widely used foundational large language models or LLMs. The aim is to increase accountability, address the societal impact of generative AI, and attempt to encourage developers to be more transparent about how they’re trained and the way they operate. Created by…

TTS-VAR, a test-time scaling framework for visual auto-regressive models, improves generation quality by dynamically adjusting batch sizes and using clustering and resampling techniques. Scaling visual generation models is essential for real-world content creation, yet requires substantial training and computational expenses. Alternatively, test-time scaling has garnered growing attention due to resource efficiency and promising performance. In this work, we present TTS-VAR, the first general test-time scaling framework for visual auto-regressive (VAR) models, modeling the generation process as a path searching problem. To dynamically balance computational efficiency with exploration capacity, we first introduce an adaptive descending batch size schedule throughout the causal…

Legal teams spend bulk of their time manually reviewing documents during eDiscovery. This process involves analyzing electronically stored information across emails, contracts, financial records, and collaboration systems for legal proceedings. This manual approach creates significant bottlenecks: attorneys must identify privileged communications, assess legal risks, extract contractual obligations, and maintain regulatory compliance across thousands of documents per case. The process is not only resource-intensive and time-consuming, but also prone to human error when dealing with large document volumes. Amazon Bedrock Agents with multi-agent collaboration directly addresses these challenges by helping organizations deploy specialized AI agents that process documents in parallel while…

Open-source AI sounds like an open door. Developers can grab code for models like Meta’s Llama, Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion, or anything from Mistral, and start building. The tools are free to download and use. The idea is to give everyone – from solo programmers to small teams – the same tools big companies have. But things aren’t that simple. Hardware isn’t free As detailed in an article on Substack, Cambridge University’s Dr. Saffron Huang uses Stable Diffusion for her computer vision research with a custom rig that comprises of eight NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPUs, at a cost of over…

Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba’s latest release, Qwen3-Coder, strengthens the case that open-source models are now capable of matching proprietary AI systems, at least when it comes to software engineering tasks.  Featuring a 480B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts design and support for extended context windows, the model aims to tackle long-horizon agentic tasks that require planning, tool use and iterative feedback. Alibaba has also released an open agentic CLI tool, Qwen Code, to showcase how the model performs in practice. The model also leads open-source performance on tasks like agentic tool use and browser automation, hinting at broader ambitions beyond pure code generation. The…

Ryan Haines / Android AuthorityTL;DR Samsung is reportedly looking to expand its AI offerings. The company is said to be in talks with multiple vendors, including OpenAI and Perplexity. The aim is to give Galaxy S26 users more choice over what AI model they use. Samsung has long been partnering with Google to bring Gemini to its Galaxy phones. While this partnership has served Samsung well, a new report suggests the company doesn’t want to be tied to only one outside AI model. The firm is said to be in talks with some of Google’s biggest rivals in the AI…

An intricately carved grasshopper made of ivory and wood “from the Age of Tutankhamun” is set to be sold by a small auction house on July, reports the New York Times. However, Egyptian art historians have raised concerns that the cosmetic vessel was possibly stolen by Howard Carter, the British archaeologist who discovered King Tutankhamen’s tombs. Carter spent years cataloging thousands of items found inside the tomb, a number of which, some allege, illicitly entered his own collection. Apollo Art Auctions has listed the insect-shaped artifact intended to hold kohl or perfume as the “Guennol Grasshopper” with an estimate of…
