I live in a dense city with plentiful public transportation options and limited parking, so I don’t own a car. I’m often utterly clueless about the current price of gasoline. But as the conflict in Iran has escalated, fossil-fuel prices have been on a roller-coaster, and I’ve started paying ...

The best snow-forecasting app for skiers and snowboarders isn’t from any of the federally funded weather services. Nor from any of the big-name brands. It’s an independent app startup that leverages government data, its own AI models, and decades of alpine-life experience to offer better snow (and ...

My main complaint with AI solutions is that they are largely dependent on my presence for any task. Even with agentic AI now in the mix, complete automation of any complex process still seems like a myth. Tools like n8n and make.com need a considerable setup time and do not really function as ...

In this tutorial, we explore MolmoWeb, Ai2’s open multimodal web agent that understands and interacts with websites directly from screenshots, without relying on HTML or DOM parsing. We set up the full environment in Colab, load the MolmoWeb-4B model with efficient 4-bit quantization, and build the ...

Listen to the session or watch below Whether it’s the race to find life on Mars, the campaign to outsmart killer asteroids, or the quest to make the moon a permanent home to astronauts, scientists’ efforts in space can tell us more about where humanity is headed. This subscriber-only discussion ...

Qichao Hu doesn’t mince words about how he sees the state of the battery industry. “Almost every Western battery company has either died or is going to die. It’s kind of the reality,” he says. Hu is the CEO of SES AI, a Massachusetts-based battery company. It once had aims of making huge amounts of…

Now that we know AI is inevitably a part of our workflow, the more relevant question today is not “should I use AI?”, but “how to use AI?”. With the AI tools market more crowded than ever, each passing week sees a new assistant, generator, or automation. The struggle then is of choice from a The ...

Post-training Large Language Models (LLMs) for long-horizon agentic tasks—such as software engineering, web browsing, and complex tool use—presents a persistent trade-off between computational efficiency and model generalization. While Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) is computationally inexpensive, it ...

The scaling of Large Language Models (LLMs) is increasingly constrained by memory communication overhead between High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and SRAM. Specifically, the Key-Value (KV) cache size scales with both model dimensions and context length, creating a significant bottleneck for long-context ...

There are messaging apps, and then there are messaging apps… With over 1 billion users worldwide, Viber is the dominant messaging platform across
