Developers building video analytics applications across large spaces must track the same object as it moves between camera views. Single-camera 2D tracking... Developers building video analytics applications across large spaces must track the same object as it moves between camera views. Single-camera 2D tracking lacks reliable depth information and typically loses track of the object when it leaves the frame, limiting applications such as warehouse safety, retail analytics, and smart-building monitoring. Current 3D tracking methods require manual… Source

Across 101 enterprises, agent orchestration is consolidating onto model-provider platforms — Anthropic’s Claude leads by a wide margin — chosen for the gravity of the underlying model and judged on reliable multi-step execution. But the ambition runs well ahead of the reality: most deployed “agents” are still chatbot wrappers, the control plane enterprises expect is deliberately hybrid to avoid lock-in, and real-time fiscal control over token burn remains the exception. This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines enterprise agent orchestration: which platforms enterprises run on, what dr...

OpenUSD is an open, extensible framework that provides a common scene description language for physical AI. It enables teams to bring CAD data, simulation assets, and real-world telemetry into a shared, physically accurate view of the world. Until now, building a USD implementation has typically required adapting a large existing codebase— even for teams that need a specific memory footprint… Source

The Elon Musk-owned xAI is suing a South Carolina man who allegedly used the company's Grok AI chatbot to generate child sexual abuse material (CSAM). In a lawsuit reported earlier by Reuters, xAI claims Terry Wayne Harwood "knowingly and intentionally used Grok to circumvent safeguards, alter nonconsensual images, and generate and distribute CSAM," breaching the company's policies. Harwood was arrested in February for allegedly possessing and distributing CSAM and is facing eight felony charges. The lawsuit claims "at least some" of the images related to Harwood's criminal charges "were gene...

This weekend, cinephiles across the world will march to their local theaters to feast their eyes on Christopher Nolan's new adaptation of The Odyssey. It's on track to rake in anywhere between $80-$100 million in just a few days. People are clearly excited to see how Nolan uses cutting-edge filmmaking tech to make the Homeric classic feel fresh. But another director is trying to capitalize on the buzz around Nolan's project to drum up interest in an Odysseus-focused movie of his own. On Tuesday, film studio Fountain 0 announced that it is working on an AI-generated reimagining of The Odyssey ...

OpenAI, which is in the middle of a legal battle with Apple over hardware trade theft allegations, just released a light-up keyboard designed to be paired with its agentic coding app.

The stock has steadily fallen from the euphoric post-IPO high, showing that markets may be sobering up to the promises CEO Elon Musk made before and after SpaceX went public.

It's the company's first public proof point after a year and a half spent building AI infrastructure largely out of public view.

MOJO framework enables unsupervised pretraining for spike-tokenized neural decoders via masked autoencoders, improving brain-computer interface generalization.

Wasserstein distance replaces negentropy in linear ICA optimization for recovering independent source signals from mixtures.

So when is fair use actually just stealing? | Cath Virginia / The Verge | Photo from Getty Images Suno data obtained in a hacking incident has exposed that the AI music generator was trained by scraping millions of songs and lyrics from online audio platforms, including YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius, 404 Media reports. Given that Suno has avoided revealing what's in its training datasets and how they were acquired, this a rare glimpse into what Suno has actually been taking from online platforms. That's relevant because Suno has been the subject of several lawsuits that allege it used cop...

For over fifteen years, x86 CPUs have shipped with a dedicated hardware instruction for carryless multiplication. It’s a small but stubborn primitive that sits underneath authenticated encryption, error-correcting codes, and modern zero-knowledge proofs. Until now, NVIDIA GPUs lacked native support for this operation. NVIDIA CUDA 13.3 closes that gap with , a new PTX instruction available on… Source
