Live Event: Discussing the Fight for Educational Freedom
The fight for educational freedom is as old as America itself and rooted in a deep and enduring tradition of parents and communities shaping how children learn. lead , On December 9th, you can join Cato scholar Neal McCluskey for a live online book forum as he and the Head of Education at the Liberty Branch of the Institute for Governance and Civics at Florida State University, James Shuls, discuss their new book, Fighting for the Freedom to Learn, which […]

AI Maps Titan’s Methane Clouds in Record Time
Methane clouds on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, are more than just a celestial oddity — they’re a window into one of the solar system’s most complex climates. Until now, mapping them has been slow and grueling work. Enter AI: a team from NASA, UC Berkeley and France’s Observatoire des Sciences de l’Univers just changed the game. Using NVIDIA GPUs, the researchers trained a deep learning model to analyze years of Cassini data in seconds. Their approach could reshape […]
Google LiteRT NeuroPilot Stack Turns MediaTek Dimensity NPUs into First Class Targets for on Device LLMs
The new LiteRT NeuroPilot Accelerator from Google and MediaTek is a concrete step toward running real generative models on phones, laptops, and IoT hardware without shipping every request to a data center. It takes the existing LiteRT runtime and wires it directly into MediaTek’s NeuroPilot NPU stack, so developers can deploy LLMs and embedding models with a single API surface instead of per chip custom code. What is LiteRT NeuroPilot Accelerator? LiteRT is the successor of TensorFlow Lite. […]
I Built an AI That Understands My Team’s Emotions From Our Commits and Messages
Author(s): Manash Pratim Originally published on Towards AI. I Built an AI That Understands My Team’s Emotions From Our Commits and Messages I built an AI that analyzes commits, PR reviews, and Slack messages to detect emotional drift and burnout in engineering teams. Using vector-drift embeddings and a fine-tuned LLaMA model, it learned to read the subtext beneath our communication and the results shocked me. Image generated using AIThe article discusses the creation of an AI designed to […]
New tool makes generative AI models more likely to create breakthrough materials
The artificial intelligence models that turn text into images are also useful for generating new materials. Over the last few years, generative materials models from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have drawn on their training data to help researchers design tens of millions of new materials. But when it comes to designing materials with exotic quantum properties like superconductivity or unique magnetic states, those models struggle. That’s too bad, because humans could use the help. For example, […]
3 Questions: The pros and cons of synthetic data in AI
Synthetic data are artificially generated by algorithms to mimic the statistical properties of actual data, without containing any information from real-world sources. While concrete numbers are hard to pin down, some estimates suggest that more than 60 percent of data used for AI applications in 2024 was synthetic, and this figure is expected to grow across industries. Because synthetic data don’t contain real-world information, they hold the promise of safeguarding privacy while reducing the cost and increasing the […]
