When the app detects a person, or a group of people, have their eyes closed in a photo it will automatically present users with a […]
Weld the memory natively into the Transformer
The current narrative around artificial intelligence in the workplace is largely driven by Silicon Valley. But treating the tech sector as an island misses the actual trends in technology adoption–tech is just the first industry in line. As generative AI and automation tools mature, the shifts currently reshaping software engineering and product management will inevitably…
Meeting note-taking tool Otter.ai announced on Tuesday that it has raised $320 million from General Catalyst’s Customer Value Fund (CVF), which provides capital to startups without diluting equity and gets returns on the results of marketing spend.

A three-year AI pause could buy 1000 years' worth of AI safety work. See: https://1000yearsofaisafety.com How much AI safety work a pause produces, in years of the whole 2025 AI safety field's work . The government bans new large training runs and gets the top three US labs to redirect their GPUs and researchers to safety research. We developed a model of an AI pause that estimates how much AI safety research it produces.
Terminal X’s Eval Agent grades outputs against a 54-criterion rubric, catching 25% more deviances from a fund’s mandate with GPT-6.1 Sol.
