How Open Models Are Driving AI Research
Every year, the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) reveals where thousands of AI researchers have decided to put their work. This year’s accepted papers reveal a clear direction: open…

A Brief Overview of Gender Bias in AI
AI models reflect, and often exaggerate, existing gender biases from the real world. It is important to quantify such biases present in models in order to properly address and mitigate…

Nous Research's NousCoder-14B is an open-source coding model landing right in the Claude Code moment
Nous Research, the open-source artificial intelligence startup backed by crypto venture firm Paradigm, released a new competitive programming model on Monday that it says matches or exceeds several larger proprietary…

The 2026 Agent Confidence Index: Where 300 builders see real momentum
A couple of months ago, I sat across from my nine-year-old daughter’s teachers at a parent-teacher conference. They were kind but concerned. She takes her time on assignments, they said,…

LLM Orchestration Frameworks Compared: LangChain vs. LlamaIndex vs. Raw API Calls
In this article, you will learn how LangChain, LlamaIndex, and raw API calls each solve a different layer of the LLM application stack, and how to choose among them based…

Behind the Scenes of Distributed Training and Why Your GPU Wiring Matters as Much as Your Strategy
is straightforward. You load the weights, load the data, and wait for it to finish. For most models, that’s fine, and the only real cost is time. When the wait…

Native-speed vLLM transformers modeling backend
TL;DR: The transformers vLLM backend is now as fast (or faster) than custom vLLM implementations for many LLM architectures. Model authors can automatically leverage their transformers implementations to get ultra…

Information-Driven Design of Imaging Systems – The Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Blog
An encoder (optical system) maps objects to noiseless images, which noise corrupts into measurements. Our information estimator uses only these noisy measurements and a noise model to quantify how well…
