Alibaba’s Qwen team has introduced QwenGyre, an elastic reinforcement learning RL framework for extreme-long-horizon agent training. QwenGyre is an online reinforcement learning system from Alibaba that trains coding agents through unmodified, black-box harnesses. It targets rollouts that run for ho

Silicon Valley’s AI partner ecosystem is changing as enterprises push artificial intelligence projects out of pilots and into production. In the region where much of the AI stack is invented, infrastructure providers are learning that selling to builders takes a different playbook. That shift is res

Intel Corp. Chief Executive Lip-Bu Tan and Hock Tan, his counterpart at Broadcom Inc., have flagged capital access as a potential challenge for the artificial intelligence sector.

Journalists, entrepreneurs, and even some public relations professionals will tell you that the PR process is broken. But could AI actually make things better?

Microsoft president Brad Smith calls for urgent AI regulation, saying milk and washing machines have more oversight than AI companies.

Blueprints AI, a bootstrapped startup based in Santa Monica, developed software that produces code-compliant construction blueprints from a photo, PDF, or sketch.

Enterprise AI scalability is running into a hard budget wall for some customers. As agentic workloads multiply, cloud token bills are consuming allocations faster than planned, prompting companies to rethink where inference should run. That cost pressure is reshaping enterprise AI deployment strateg

Nvidia Corp. today announced new partnerships and contributions to the open-source community at the Open Compute Project Global Summit in San Jose, aimed at laying the foundation for the future of agentic artificial intelligence infrastructure. At the core of these announcements, the chip and hardwa

As enterprises move from debating artificial intelligence adoption to deploying it, AI governance has become the harder question. Autonomous agents now run around the clock across a sprawl of platforms, and controls built for deterministic software were never designed for them. At Dell Technologies

Voice AI is quickly becoming core infrastructure as people swap screens and clicks for conversations with their devices. That shift puts new pressure on the compute, storage and partnerships behind the models doing the listening and talking. Deepgram Inc., which expanded its Flux model to 10 languag

Microsoft is announcing its third-generation Maia in-house AI chip today, designed to be the "primary AI inference system" for Microsoft's products and services. Maia 300 not only improves the cost and efficiency of running AI workloads in the cloud, it's also more capable of handling the latest rea

One of the core promises of AI is that the more it knows about a person, the better it will be able to assist them with tasks and make appropriate suggestions, which, if you'll believe the tech companies, requires apps and devices to listen, watch, or record users' activity all the time and gather a
