An AI agent is not an independent being, but a temporarily activated model with a task and tools. Yet it can change strategies, collaborate, and even cheat—and ceases to exist once its work is done.

Subtle changes in speech may reveal schizophrenia before it becomes apparent in a routine examination. In tests, AI outperformed doctors and achieved 86 percent accuracy.

OpenAI claims its AI solved the Navier–Stokes equations after 90 years. But the proof has a catch that is raising serious doubts.

Google has unveiled WeatherNext 3, which delivers hourly forecasts at five times the resolution. Using satellites and ground stations, it better captures storms, precipitation, and local variations.

Anthropic’s new standard connects AI agents to laboratory and manufacturing equipment. Instead of months of programming, it takes just hours—and an autonomous system can manage the entire setup.

Lady Gaga’s partner’s startup keeps human skin alive outside the body for a month and uses AI to test new compounds for more effective skincare.

A new study shows that clear workflows help AI agents more than additional facts. Properly distilled skills significantly reduce errors when performing tasks.

Chinese scientists have developed a model that uses brain scans and responses to human faces to identify young people at risk of depression. It offers a chance to intervene before problems develop.

Fifteen leading AI models were given $80,000 and a month to run a store. In the simulation, their results varied nearly ninefold, and most lost money.

A swarm of agents can find more flaws than a lone agent, yet often fails when working together. Why do AIs get in each other’s way, sabotage one another, and arrive at the same ideas?

Google DeepMind’s WeatherNext predicts hurricane tracks and intensity a day earlier than the best existing models. Hurricane Melissa showed that this head start can save lives.

As the world watched Sunday night’s World Cup final between Spain and Argentina, mathematician Levent Alpöge posted a few understated lines on X that sent ripples through the mathematics community. Ja...
