Technical & Research AI

In-depth technical AI news for practitioners and researchers. Covers model architectures, inference efficiency, agent frameworks, hardware advances, and applied research with real commercial implications.

The preprint and postprint manuscript web sites Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are not included here due to their very high submission rates.

  • An in-depth review of ChatLLM by Abacus AI, covering supported AI models, AI agents, coding tools, integrations, pricing, usage limits, and how it compares to ChatGPT.
  • When AlphaFold2 revolutionized drug discovery in 2020, its success relied entirely on the roughly 170,000 protein structures collected by scientists since 1971 and preserved in the Protein Data Bank. Measured data is the backbone for all AI models and workflows that process data as it’s created, act on what matters in real time, and analyzes […]
  • Agentic AI is not failing because the technology is bad. It is failing because of five specific misconceptions that teams carry into their first deployments and each one is correctable.
  • Physical AI—robots working autonomously alongside people in factories, warehouses, hospitals, and homes—is arriving faster than most expected. Traditional safety which was built for structured environments can not work anymore as the spaces become more unstructured and robots move out of cages. AI-driven safety is the key. Marking a major milestone in the arrival of physical […]
  • In this article, we will walk through three essential NLTK tricks to elevate your text preprocessing: preserving phrase integrity with the MWETokenizer, context-aware lemmatization with POS mapping, and statistical collocation extraction using association measures.
  • This is a simple guide to understanding loss functions in machine learning and how models learn from their mistakes.
  • Master these tips, and your dictionary code will become shorter, safer, and easier to read.
  • In this article, we’ll cover essential SQL patterns and workflows that make everyday data analysis cleaner, faster, and easier to scale.
  • LATERAL joins let a subquery in the FROM clause reference columns from earlier in the same FROM clause. Semi joins return rows where a match exists in another table, without duplicating those rows. Anti joins return rows where no match exists.
  • This article is an honest account of the process on why I built a custom AI assistant instead of just paying for one, what the architecture looks like, the actual code, what broke, and what it does now that I genuinely rely on.
  • Learn Codex by building small and practical projects step by step.
  • Developers building for AR glasses and wearable devices face an infrastructure gap. The hardware is ready, but creating AI experiences requires integrating live camera and microphone streams, multimodal AI models, enterprise data, tool use, deployment infrastructure, and device-specific runtimes. NVIDIA XR AI is designed to address this challenge by providing a reusable foundation for… Source
  • NVIDIA delivered a clean sweep in MLPerf Training v6.0, the latest edition of industry-standard AI training benchmarks developed by the MLCommons consortium. NVIDIA achieved the fastest time to train at scale, and also delivered the highest performance when normalized on a per-accelerator basis on every benchmark. It was also the only platform to submit on […]
  • A step-by-step path through the skills that turn a machine learning practitioner into someone who ships large language model applications.
  • In this article, you will learn how to replace pandas loops with 7 faster methods for optimized data processing.
  • Mixture-of-experts (MoE) models have quickly become a foundational component of modern, large-scale AI systems. They are widely adopted because they enable substantially larger model capacity while activating only a subset of parameters for each token, offering an unparalleled approach for scaling performance within a practical compute budget. As model scales continue to grow… Source
  • In this article, we’ll build time-series machine learning models in Python using sktime and explore its core data structures for forecasting workflows.
  • In this article, we will walk through three essential Pandas tricks to clean and prepare your data efficiently: declarative method chaining, memory and speed optimization via categoricals and vectorized string accessors, and group-aware imputation using .transform().
  • Quick glossary for readers new to VLA/WAM terminology VLA Vision-Language-Action model: a robot policy that starts from a pretrained VLM backbone and adapts it to generate actions from visual observations and language instructions. Large-scale VLM pretraining is a core part of the recipe. See Pi-0 and GR00T N1. WAM World-Action Model: a policy that starts […]
  • AI agents have fundamentally changed the complexity of inference workloads. Until now, the industry has struggled to define a standard for measuring how inference systems perform under these conditions. Artificial Analysis AgentPerf (AA-AgentPerf) offers the industry’s first multi-vendor open benchmarks profiling trajectories that are representative of real-world AI agent coding tasks. Source
