Microsoft has released VibeVoice-Realtime-0.5B, a real time text to speech model that works with streaming text input and long form speech output, aimed at agent style applications and live data narration. The model can start producing audible speech in about 300 ms, which is critical when a language model is still generating the rest of its answer. Where VibeVoice Realtime Fits in the VibeVoice Stack? VibeVoice is a broader framework that focuses on next token diffusion over continuous […]
When it comes to artificial intelligence, MIT and IBM were there at the beginning: laying foundational work and creating some of the first programs — AI predecessors — and theorizing how machine “intelligence” might come to be. Today, collaborations like the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, which launched eight years ago, are continuing to deliver expertise for the promise of tomorrow’s AI technology. This is critical for industries and the labor force that stand to benefit, particularly in the […]
OpenAI researchers are testing “confessions,” a method that trains models to admit when they make mistakes or act undesirably, helping improve AI honesty, transparency, and trust in model outputs.
Check out this comprehensive guide to building production-ready features that actually work.

In this article, we rebuild Logistic Regression step by step directly in Excel. Starting from a binary dataset, we explore why linear regression struggles as a classifier, how the logistic function fixes these issues, and how log-loss naturally appears from the likelihood. With a transparent gradient-descent table, you can watch the model learn at each iteration—making the whole process intuitive, visual, and surprisingly satisfying. The post The Machine Learning “Advent Calendar” Day 12: Logistic Regression in Excel appeared […]
We’re already feeling the excitement building across the continent as top industry leaders, innovators, and revolutionary partners prepare for the 12th Annual BiG Africa Summit 2026, taking place from 16 –19 February 2026 at The Grand Palm Hotel Casino Convention Resort in Gaborone, Botswana. The coming edition is set to redefine standards in its sector and reciprocate the experience among an assemblage that comprises tens of the region’s finest talents, and a few visionaries as well.

For patients with inflammatory bowel disease, antibiotics can be a double-edged sword. The broad-spectrum drugs often prescribed for gut flare-ups can kill helpful microbes alongside harmful ones, sometimes worsening symptoms over time. When fighting gut inflammation, you don’t always want to bring a sledgehammer to a knife fight. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and McMaster University have identified a new compound that takes a more targeted approach. The molecule, called enterololin, suppresses a […]
