NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super: 120B Parameters, 12B Active — the Math Behind the Fastest Open-Source Reasoning Model
NVIDIA dropped a bombshell at GTC on March 10: Nemotron 3 Super, a 120-billion-parameter open model that only activates 12 billion parameters at inference time. The result? Throughput numbers that make competing open models look sluggish — 2.2x faster than GPT-OSS-120B and 7.5x faster than Qwen3.5-122B — while scoring competitively on reasoning, coding, and long-context… Continue reading

50 Million Visits in One Week: How a Anti-AI-Slop Game Turned Internet Frustration into a Global Movement
The internet is drowning in AI-generated content, and people are fed up.

$600 Million for 16 Engineers: Why Netflix Made Its Second-Largest Acquisition on Ben Affleck’s AI Startup
Netflix has never been big on acquisitions. In its 28-year history, the company has made only a handful of notable purchases.

An AI Agent Broke Into McKinsey’s Internal Platform in 2 Hours — Using a Decades-Old SQL Injection
SQL injection was supposed to be a solved problem. It’s been in the OWASP Top 10 since the list existed. Every CS student learns about it. Every framework has built-in protections. And yet, in late February 2026, an autonomous AI agent built by a startup called CodeWall.ai exploited exactly this vulnerability to gain full read-write… Continue reading

A Fruit Fly’s Entire Brain Has Been Uploaded to a Computer — and It Can Walk, Groom, and Forage
A startup called Eon Systems PBC claims to have achieved something neuroscience has been chasing for decades: a complete brain emulation of a living organism, connected to a virtual body, producing real behaviors. The organism is a fruit fly. The brain has 125,000 neurons. And the behaviors — walking, grooming, foraging — emerged entirely from… Continue reading

Google Releases Gemini Embedding 2 — One Vector Space for Text, Images, Video, and Audio
Building a search system that handles text is straightforward enough. Adding images makes it harder. Throw in video and audio, and suddenly you’re maintaining three or four separate embedding pipelines, each with its own model, its own vector index, and its own set of headaches. Google’s answer to this problem is Gemini Embedding 2, its… Continue reading

Hume AI open-sources TADA — an LLM-based TTS with zero hallucinations and 0.09 RTF
LLM-based text-to-speech systems have a dirty secret: they hallucinate. Words get skipped, phrases get invented, and entire sentences sometimes come out garbled. The root cause is a fundamental mismatch — text and audio operate on completely different timescales, and when you force a language model to bridge that gap with hundreds of audio tokens per… Continue reading
