Anyone who sends private data to an AI model or service deserves a clear answer to three questions: (i) Where do they store it? (ii) How long do they keep it? and (iii) What, if anything, will they do with it (such as train on it, show to humans, etc.)

With Llama, Meta marked itself as an open alternative to OpenAI. With its new closed models, Meta now positions itself as a low-cost, high-value competitor.
Machine Learning Research
Google built a low-cost, high-throughput pipeline for developers working with media, combining Gemini’s fastest image model yet with a similarly speedy multimodal model that can turn images into video with synchronized sound.

Claude Fable 5 and the more powerful Claude Mythos 5 are back, three weeks after Anthropic suspended the models due to an export control directive from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Machine Learning Research
Microsoft, once OpenAI’s exclusive partner and still a major reseller of other companies’ AI models, built its own reasoning model from scratch.
Machine Learning Research
Models that orchestrate the activities of other models and agents achieved state-of-the-art performance on a variety of benchmarks, outperforming the best individual models working alone.
