Fine-tuning a large language model (LLM) is the process of taking a pre-trained model — usually a vast one like GPT or Llama models, with millions to billions of weights — and continuing to train it, exposing it to new data so that the model weights (or typically parts of them) get updated.

Google DeepMind has unveiled AlphaEvolve, an evolutionary coding agent designed to autonomously discover novel algorithms and scientific solutions. Presented in the paper titled “AlphaEvolve: A Coding Agent for Scientific and Algorithmic Discovery,” this research represents a foundational step toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and even Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). Rather than relying on static fine-tuning or […]

As more businesses adopt AI, understanding its security risks has become more important than ever. AI is reshaping industries and workflows, but it also introduces new security challenges that organizations must address. Protecting AI systems is essential to maintain trust, safeguard privacy, and ensure smooth business operations. This article summarizes the key insights from Cisco’s […]

Real estate is the world’s oldest and largest asset class. Yet, the sector has a heavy tech debt. Agents still process documents manually, schedule viewings via calls or texts, and rely on spreadsheets or outdated CRMs to manage critical operations. While other industries are being completely disrupted by AI, many real estate businesses are still […]

Axelrod has negotiated and structured deals totaling over $5 billion and led three successful exits. XPANCEO is developing […]

If you rely on AI to recommend what to watch, read, or buy, new research indicates that some systems may be basing these results from memory rather than skill: instead of learning to make useful suggestions, the models often recall items from the datasets used to evaluate them, leading to overestimated performance and recommendations that […]

In a bold leap forward for semiconductor technology, Cognichip has launched out of stealth with $33 million in seed funding to build what it calls Artificial Chip Intelligence (ACI®) — a foundational shift in how chips are designed, developed, and brought to market. The funding round was led by Lux Capital and Mayfield, with participation […]

The AI startup Perplexity AI is reportedly in late-stage talks to raise $500 million at a staggering $14 billion valuation. That figure – first highlighted by The Wall Street Journal – would mark a meteoric rise for a company barely three years old, valuing it on par with well-established tech firms. Is this sky-high valuation […]

As engineering organizations scale, they inevitably accumulate layers of processes that slow down development. Any engineering leader who has grown an organization beyond a certain size knows the pattern: first comes basic Scrum, soon cross-team dependencies require coordination meetings, and eventually, you find yourself considering frameworks like SAFe to manage it all. I once found […]
