RLSD blends verifiable rewards with self-distillation to train models more stably and avoid the collapse seen in naive self-supervision.

High-performance SQL isn’t about clever queries—it’s about helping the optimizer minimize data movement. Use predicate pushdown, maintain table statistics, avoi

Stablecoins are creating a parallel financial system, offering faster payments and global access while challenging traditional banks. Unlike deposits, they’re b

Most frontend apps become slow and complex because developers overengineer them. This guide shows how to build lean apps using simple tools like Vite, Preact, a

Start with prompt engineering for speed, flexibility, and lower cost, it solves most problems early on. Only move to fine-tuning when you have clear, repeated f

LLMs aren’t failing because they’re small—they’re failing because scale is mistaken for intelligence. Benchmarks don’t reflect real-world use, alignment remains

Ada Lovelace said machines can't originate anything. She wrote that in 1843. Modern AI doesn't exactly prove her wrong, it just makes her statement genuinely di

Not every workflow needs an AI agent, many tasks are better solved with deterministic automation. Use agentic systems only when reasoning, ambiguity, or decisio

- If your Skills feel “slow and flaky,” you probably built documentation, not capabilities. - Progressive disclosure is the only scalable pattern: keep `SKILL.m

Researchers improved AI models by “instruction finetuning” them on 1,800+ tasks and adding chain-of-thought reasoning data. The result: Flan-PaLM significantly

Anthropic built Claude Mythos, a model that found thousands of zero-days in every major OS and browser, broke out of a sandbox unprompted, and showed signs of c

I spent almost two years at Spacecode in Moscow before joining VALK. Lead UX/UI, team of five or six designers, somewhere over fifty apps shipped across my time

Customers don’t experience CX and compliance separately. They experience outcomes. Most companies fail because teams operate in silos, and metrics like NPS miss

Researchers found that giving AI examples that include step-by-step reasoning (“chain-of-thought”) dramatically improves its ability to solve complex problems.

This article explores the evolution of an AI agent built on Claude Code that developed persistent memory, identity, and the ability to self-improve over time. T

Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) offers a simpler, more stable alternative to traditional RLHF for aligning large language models with human preferences. By

AlphaFold is a breakthrough AI system that predicts the 3D structure of proteins from their amino acid sequences with near-experimental accuracy. By combining e

We're offering over $1,500 in free tools and credits to participants of the Proof of Usefulness hackathon. Developers can claim credits for Bright Data ($250),

Electrical engineer Diego Landi is integrating AI-driven budgeting, NSF-recognized innovation training, and systems thinking into large-scale affordable housing

Pharos Network, a financial-grade Layer 1 built by former Ant Group engineers, has closed a $44M Series A bringing total funding to $52M. Backed by Sumitomo Cor

The rise of generative AI has created a "dark pool" for counterfeit labor, where the lack of material disclosure devalues human craftsmanship and threatens the

Foundry, the largest mining pool at the time, mined several blocks in quick succession, overtaking a competing chain. Foundry didn’t "force" the outcome—it simp

LiteLLM versions 1.82.7 and 1. 82.8 were backdoored with credential-stealing malware through a stolen PyPI token. Full technical breakdown, incident response pl

Customer experience isn’t just about front-end innovation—it’s driven by the quality of your data. Poor governance leads to broken interactions, flawed AI outpu
