After testing the various models in Google’s new Gemini 2.0 family, something interesting becomes clear: Google is exploring the potential of specialized AI systems working in concert similar to OpenAI. Google has structured their AI offerings around practical use cases – from rapid response systems to deep reasoning engines. Each model serves a specific purpose

A new study from researchers at LMU Munich, the Munich Center for Machine Learning, and Adobe Research has exposed a weakness in AI language models : they struggle to understand long documents in ways that might surprise you. The research team’s findings show that even the most advanced AI models have trouble connecting information when

Small manufacturers are increasingly using AI in manufacturing to streamline operations and remain competitive. AI can significantly improve manufacturing functions like production scheduling, maintenance, supply chain planning, and quality control.  Below are some of the best AI-driven tools (a mix of cloud-based and on-premise solutions) that cater to small-sized manufacturers, highlighting their features, benefits, and

AI is quietly (or not so quietly depending on personal experience) embedding itself into our daily lives, influencing the job market, media, governance, and even our cultural narratives. While much of the discussion around artificial intelligence focuses on sudden, dramatic threats—like rogue artificial general intelligence (AGI) or deepfakes—there is another, more insidious risk at play:

Imagine taking a single photo of a person and, within seconds, seeing them talk, gesture, and even perform—without ever recording a real video. That is the power of ByteDance’s OmniHuman-1. The recently viral AI model breathes life into still images by generating highly realistic videos, complete with synchronized lip movements, full-body gestures, and expressive facial

AI-powered collaboration tools are essential for productivity today. Prior to the big AI boom, teams spent over 85% of their time each week collaborating (meetings, emails, chat, etc.)​, leaving little time for deep work.  The following tools use artificial intelligence to streamline teamwork – from summarizing long message threads to auto-generating project plans – so

Most AI training follows a simple principle: match your training conditions to the real world. But new research from MIT is challenging this fundamental assumption in AI development. Their finding? AI systems often perform better in unpredictable situations when they are trained in clean, simple environments – not in the complex conditions they will face

The US Copyright Office just released their most significant guidance yet on AI and copyright. This report cuts through the confusion about who owns what when it comes to AI-created content. The law still centers on human creativity. The Copyright Office makes this crystal clear – copyright protection stems from human creative input, not from

Telemedicine platforms have improved healthcare delivery by enabling remote medical consultations, mental health support, and ongoing patient care through digital technologies. As healthcare needs evolve and patients seek more convenient ways to connect with providers, especially with AI healthcare, these platforms have become essential tools for modern medical practice. From comprehensive enterprise solutions used by

The headlines keep coming. DeepSeek’s models have been challenging benchmarks, setting new standards, and making a lot of noise. But something interesting just happened in the AI research scene that is also worth your attention. Allen AI quietly released their new Tülu 3 family of models, and their 405B parameter version is not just competing
