Thinking Machines Lab announced a research preview of interaction models that process real-time dialogue natively, enabling continuous back-and-forth collaboration between users and AI without external scaffolding.
Agentic inference differs fundamentally from today's language model inference, shifting computational priorities away from speed since human latency constraints no longer apply.
Baidu's new Ernie 5.1 model achieves competitive performance with just six percent of typical pre-training costs by using a third fewer parameters than its predecessor. The model ranks fourth globally on Search Arena leaderboards, behind Claude Opus variants and GPT-5.5 Search.
Novo Nordisk has handed over an experimental Parkinson's disease therapy to a Mark Zuckerberg-backed AI startup. The deal aims to accelerate the treatment's development.
