Traversal-as-Policy uses Gated Behavior Trees (GBT) derived from execution logs to control LLM agents. This method enhances safety, efficiency, and reliability, reducing violations and computational costs. Results show significant improvements on sta...
A novel approach to medical imaging based on AI agents that learn and adapt autonomously. MACRO, the proposed system, dynamically evolves its capabilities by combining specialized tools and operational sequences, improving diagnostic accuracy and cro...
New research reveals that AI reasoning models struggle to control their 'chains of thought' (CoT). The ability to manipulate the CoT is low, especially compared to the control over the final output. This study explores 'CoT controllability' and its i...
The increasing shipments of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are intensifying the pressure on Taiwanese printed circuit board (PCB) suppliers. The growing demand is straining production capacity and supply chains.
Foxconn is strengthening its position in the AI server market thanks to its close collaboration with Nvidia. Full-stack integration and deep synergies between the two companies allow Foxconn to compete in the rapidly growing artificial intelligence s...
Nvidia has halted production of H200 GPUs bound for China, reallocating TSMC production capacity to the Vera Rubin project. The decision impacts the availability of advanced AI hardware in the Chinese market, as Nvidia focuses on other initiatives.
Advantech envisions a solution to the challenges associated with deploying artificial intelligence solutions on dedicated hardware by 2026. The company aims to simplify the management and orchestration of physical resources for AI workloads, reducing...
The Arch Linux powered CachyOS distribution releases its March 2026 ISO refresh for new installations and upgrades. The release includes a switch to Wayland and the removal of Bcachefs from the installer.
AI data center developers are increasingly adopting a style of modular housing, inspired by remote work camps, to accommodate specialized technical staff. This trend raises questions about the social impact and working conditions in the sector.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is set to receive a bonus of approximately $4 million. While substantial, this amount represents a small fraction of his estimated $164 billion net worth.
The new release candidate of Linux 7.0 includes significant patches and changes for Intel and AMD CPUs. The updates include bug fixes and low-level optimizations, improving resource management and system stability. A particular focus has been placed ...
The use of large language models (LLMs) to rewrite significant portions of code and publish them under different licenses is raising concerns in the open-source community. A recent case involved a Python project being rewritten via AI and republished...
According to Microsoft, AI agents allow cybercriminals and nation-state hackers to outsource the planning and execution of cyberattacks. North Korea is reportedly already taking advantage of these technologies to automate repetitive tasks.
