While teenagers may start out using AI chatbots for basic questions, their relationship with chatbot platforms has the potential to turn addictive.
Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to avoid contact with the environment as much as possible and stay far away from humans for safety reasons, this arm senses subtle forces, stretching and flexing in ways that mimic more of the compliance of a human hand. Its every motion is calculated to […]
Author(s): AI Rabbit Originally published on Towards AI. Agentic Era If your architecture still looks like “User Query Vector DB LLM,” you aren’t building an AI application; you’re building a hallucination engine. The “naive” RAG era where we just dumped PDFs into Pinecone and prayed for the best is officially over. Here is the technical reality of RAG in 2025.The article discusses the evolution of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, emphasizing the transition from outdated linear architectures to more […]

When researchers are building large language models (LLMs), they aim to maximize performance under a particular computational and financial budget. Since training a model can amount to millions of dollars, developers need to be judicious with cost-impacting decisions about, for instance, the model architecture, optimizers, and training datasets before committing to a model. To anticipate the quality and accuracy of a large model’s predictions, practitioners often turn to scaling laws: using smaller, cheaper models to try to approximate […]
GPT-5.2 is our most advanced frontier model for everyday professional work, with state-of-the-art reasoning, long-context understanding, coding, and vision. Use it in ChatGPT and the OpenAI API to power faster, more reliable agentic workflows.
Virgin Atlantic CFO Oliver Byers shares how the airline is using AI to speed up development, improve decision-making, and elevate customer experience.
After a years-long battle, the European Commission’s “Chat Control” plan, which would mandate mass scanning and other encryption-breaking measures, at last codifies agreement on a position within the Council of the EU, representing EU States. The good news is that the most controversial part, the forced requirement to scan encrypted messages, is out. The bad news is there’s more to it than that. Chat Control has gone through several iterations since it was first introduced, with the EU […]
French AI startup Mistral today launched Devstral 2, a new generation of its AI model designed for coding, as the company seeks to catch up to bigger AI labs like Anthropic and other coding-focused LLMs.
Author(s): Utkarsh Mittal Originally published on Towards AI. Introduction XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting) has become the go-to algorithm for winning machine learning competitions and solving real-world prediction problems. But what makes it so powerful? In this comprehensive tutorial, we’ll unpack the mathematical foundations and practical mechanisms that make XGBoost superior to traditional gradient boosting methods. This tutorial assumes you have basic knowledge of decision trees and machine learning concepts. We’ll walk through the algorithm step-by-step with visual examples […]
