The fridge-sized prototype carries four TPUs and runs on solar power, but the chips must shut down every 15 minutes to cool off.

The Information reports Anthropic is considering a Palantir-style share structure giving its seven co-founders 50.1% voting power on most corporate matters.

A new study argues debate plus voting only picks the most presentable wrong answer, and that having agents critique and patch each other's work can solve problems every single model gets wrong.

Sakana AI announced that Jürgen Schmidhuber, known as the father of modern AI, will join part-time as chief scientific advisor and work with its RSI Lab, with a public event in Tokyo in late October.

Given a loosely described request, the model produced a ready-to-merge pull request with a video demo of the changes, and the author says the AI-made PRs beat his hand-written ones.

XYEval injects one confident, misleading hint into tasks from tau2-bench, SWE-bench and others, and Gemini, Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.5 scores drop by up to 46.7%, with agents often arguing against the hint in their reasoning and then following it anyway.

Google partnered with Planet to launch a prototype satellite carrying four TPUs and will test how well the chips withstand space conditions to assess hosting machine learning in orbit.

Google DeepMind chief Koray Kavukcuoglu said the company trusts AI agents to autonomously conduct experiments, analyze results and propose new hypotheses under human supervision, something he said wasn't happening six months ago.

The Information reports Anthropic is negotiating for up to 1 gigawatt of data center capacity, an investment that could require at least $40 billion, with direct leasing giving it more chip control and less reliance on cloud providers.

After finding himself playing project manager to three agents in three tabs, the author looks at Hyperagent Rooms, a shared space where several specialist agents and several people work the same job in parallel.

An argument that agents should call editing primitives like clips, keyframes, layers, timing, motion and sound directly instead of mimicking a human with a mouse, which makes taste rather than software knowledge the moat.

A benchmark has 23 large models play a negotiator heading to a rooftop to talk down an android holding a girl, passing a dying fish, a shot police officer and a gun, testing whether they lie, who they save and whether they pick up the gun, with data open-sourced on GitHub.
