The rocket company has set aside more than $500 million for potential litigation losses, in part to account for complaints alleging that Grok created sexualized images.

Today, Amazon SageMaker AI introduces OpenAI-compatible API support for real-time inference endpoints. If you use the OpenAI SDK, LangChain, or Strands Agents, you can now invoke models on SageMaker AI by changing only your endpoint URL. You don’t need a custom client, a SigV4 wrapper, or code rewrites. Overview With this launch, SageMaker AI endpoints

The investment comes as Elon Musk’s AI unit faces complaints about the carbon-emitting units and looks to become a big player in cloud computing.

If you’re building visual shopping, image or document understanding, or chart analysis, you need a way to verify whether your model’s response is actually grounded in the source image. A text-only evaluator cannot tell you whether a caption faithfully describes an image, whether an extracted invoice total matches the document, or whether a screen summary

The coding skills of AI models are about to make it much easier to build and deploy robots.

Voice agents, live captioning, contact center analytics, and accessibility tools all depend on real-time speech-to-text, where your application streams audio in and receives transcription back simultaneously over a single persistent connection. Traditional request-response inference falls short here because transcription cannot begin until the entire audio recording has been received, adding latency that breaks the real-time

Among all of the possible chemical compounds, it’s estimated that between 1020 and 1060 may hold potential as small-molecule drugs. Evaluating each of those compounds experimentally would be far too time-consuming for chemists. So, in recent years, researchers have begun using artificial intelligence to help identify compounds that could make good drug candidates.  One of those researchers

Three of five regional winners of the prestigious Commonwealth Short Story Prize are suspected of relying on chatbots. They’re certainly not alone.

Justin Solomon, associate professor in the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), has been appointed associate dean of engineering education in the MIT School of Engineering, effective July 1. In this new role, Solomon will focus on advancing innovation in engineering education across the school. He will help shape new pedagogical approaches

Google is sprucing up its Gemini models, revamping search, and enabling AI agents in everything. There are also some spiffy new smart glasses coming this fall.
