Meta’s upcoming ‘Avocado’ AI model could be a part of effort to rebalance its open-source vision
Key Highlights: Meta is among the few tech giants that advocate open-source AI (like its Llama models) for innovation, security through community testing, cost-effectiveness for businesses, and preventing gatekeeping. But it seems Meta has realized the future with open-source AI isn’t worth it, as that goodwill won’t pay the bills for its $600 billion investment pledge in the US infrastructure. Meta is reportedly working on a “closed” model, codenamed “Avocado” Well, this comes after disappointment around Meta’s recent […]

Printable aluminum alloy sets strength records, may enable lighter aircraft parts
MIT engineers have developed a printable aluminum alloy that can withstand high temperatures and is five times stronger than traditionally manufactured aluminum. The new printable metal is made from a mix of aluminum and other elements that the team identified using a combination of simulations and machine learning, which significantly pruned the number of possible combinations of materials to search through. While traditional methods would require simulating over 1 million possible combinations of materials, the team’s new machine […]

Checking the quality of materials just got easier with a new AI tool
Manufacturing better batteries, faster electronics, and more effective pharmaceuticals depends on the discovery of new materials and the verification of their quality. Artificial intelligence is helping with the former, with tools that comb through catalogs of materials to quickly tag promising candidates. But once a material is made, verifying its quality still involves scanning it with specialized instruments to validate its performance — an expensive and time-consuming step that can hold up the development and distribution of new […]

It’s a Sign: AI Platform for Teaching American Sign Language Aims to Bridge Communication Gaps
American Sign Language is the third most prevalent language in the United States — but there are vastly fewer AI tools developed with ASL data than data representing the country’s most common languages, English and Spanish. NVIDIA, the American Society for Deaf Children and creative agency Hello Monday are helping close this gap with Signs, an interactive web platform built to support ASL learning and the development of accessible AI applications. Sign language learners can access the platform’s […]

Cisco Released Cisco Time Series Model: Their First Open-Weights Foundation Model based on Decoder-only Transformer Architecture
Cisco and Splunk have introduced the Cisco Time Series Model, a univariate zero shot time series foundation model designed for observability and security metrics. It is released as an open weight checkpoint on Hugging Face under an Apache 2.0 license, and it targets forecasting workloads without task specific fine tuning. The model extends TimesFM 2.0 with an explicit multiresolution architecture that fuses coarse and fine history in one context window. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.19841 Why observability needs multiresolution context? Production metrics […]

How I Screwed Up Sales Hiring
I founded Moonshine back in 2022, together with Manjunath, another engineer and researcher. My entire career up until that point had been working on consumer products, so I felt very comfortable with how those are sold, and I thought to myself “How hard can B2B sales be?”. The answer, of course, is very hard! My investors knew that before I did, and pushed me to hire a senior sales person to make up for my lack of experience. […]

Unveiling the BLEU Score: Your Guide to Judging Machine Translation Quality
Author(s): VARUN MISHRA Originally published on Towards AI. Unveiling the BLEU Score: Your Guide to Judging Machine Translation Quality Machine translation has come a long way, from clunky rule-based systems to sleek neural models like Transformers. But how do we know if a machine’s translation is any good? Enter the BLEU score — a go-to metric for evaluating machine translation quality. Short for Bilingual Evaluation Understudy, BLEU is like a judge that compares a machine’s output to human […]
