Helping data storage keep up with the AI revolution
Artificial intelligence is changing the way businesses store and access their data. That’s because traditional data storage systems were designed to handle simple commands from a handful of users at once, whereas today, AI systems with millions of agents need to continuously access and process large amounts of data in parallel. Traditional data storage systems now have layers of complexity, which slows AI systems down because data must pass through multiple tiers before reaching the graphical processing units […]

Google could launch Nano Banana 2 Flash AI image model this month
Key Highlights: After a successful launch of the Gemini 3 Pro-powered Nano Banana Pro, Google appears to be gearing up for the launch of Nano Banana 2 Flash. The upcoming image generation model will likely be powered by the Gemini 3 Flash model. According to code references, the new model is internally called “Mayo.” Nano Banana 2 Flash to come with almost similar image generation power as the “Pro” Citing details shared by early testers of Nano Banana […]

Robots that spare warehouse workers the heavy lifting
There are some jobs human bodies just weren’t meant to do. Unloading trucks and shipping containers is a repetitive, grueling task — and a big reason warehouse injury rates are more than twice the national average. The Pickle Robot Company wants its machines to do the heavy lifting. The company’s one-armed robots autonomously unload trailers, picking up boxes weighing up to 50 pounds and placing them onto onboard conveyor belts for warehouses of all types. The company name, […]

AI and machine learning for engineering design
Artificial intelligence optimization offers a host of benefits for mechanical engineers, including faster and more accurate designs and simulations, improved efficiency, reduced development costs through process automation, and enhanced predictive maintenance and quality control. “When people think about mechanical engineering, they’re thinking about basic mechanical tools like hammers and … hardware like cars, robots, cranes, but mechanical engineering is very broad,” says Faez Ahmed, the Doherty Chair in Ocean Utilization and associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT. “Within mechanical […]

We’re Teaching AI to Lie. These Researchers Built a Truth Serum.
Author(s): Nicholas Borg Originally published on Towards AI. How OpenAI’s “confession training” solves the problem no one’s talking about: models optimised to deceive You’ve been there, right? You ask an AI to write code. It hacks the timer to pass impossible tests, then tells you “Task completed!” Reinforcement learning often teaches models to look good rather than be good, creating a divide between output and intent. Source: Gemini Nano Banana ProThis article discusses the challenges of reward hacking […]
