Microsoft AI Introduces Magentic-UI: An Open-Source Agent Prototype that Works with People to Complete Complex Tasks that Require Multi-Step Planning and Browser Use
Modern web usage spans many digital interactions, from filling out forms and managing accounts to executing data queries and navigating complex dashboards. Despite the web being deeply intertwined with productivity and work processes, many of these actions still demand repetitive human input. This scenario is especially true for environments that require detailed instructions or decisions…

The sweet taste of a new idea
Behavioral economist Sendhil Mullainathan has never forgotten the pleasure he felt the first time he tasted a delicious crisp, yet gooey Levain cookie. He compares the experience to when he encounters new ideas. “That hedonic pleasure is pretty much the same pleasure I get hearing a new idea, discovering a new way of looking at…
A Step-by-Step Coding Guide to Efficiently Fine-Tune Qwen3-14B Using Unsloth AI on Google Colab with Mixed Datasets and LoRA Optimization
Fine-tuning LLMs often requires extensive resources, time, and memory, challenges that can hinder rapid experimentation and deployment. Unsloth AI revolutionizes this process by enabling fast, efficient fine-tuning state-of-the-art models like Qwen3-14B with minimal GPU memory, leveraging advanced techniques such as 4-bit quantization and LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation). In this tutorial, we walk through a practical implementation…
AI’s Struggle to Read Analogue Clocks May Have Deeper Significance
A new paper from researchers in China and Spain finds that even advanced multimodal AI models such as GPT-4.1 struggle to tell the time from images of analog clocks. Small visual changes in the clocks can cause major interpretation errors, and fine-tuning only helps with familiar examples. The results raise concerns about the reliability of…
Targeting early-onset Parkinson’s with AI
Impact Published 21 September 2022 AlphaFold predictions are paving the way towards new treatments that can impact over 10 million people worldwide It was a source of hard-earned satisfaction after what had often felt like an uphill battle. David Komander and his colleagues had finally published the long-sought structure of PINK1. Mutations in the gene…
With AI, researchers predict the location of virtually any protein within a human cell
A protein located in the wrong part of a cell can contribute to several diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, cystic fibrosis, and cancer. But there are about 70,000 different proteins and protein variants in a single human cell, and since scientists can typically only test for a handful in one experiment, it is extremely costly and…
This AI paper from DeepSeek-AI Explores How DeepSeek-V3 Delivers High-Performance Language Modeling by Minimizing Hardware Overhead and Maximizing Computational Efficiency
The growth in developing and deploying large language models (LLMs) is closely tied to architectural innovations, large-scale datasets, and hardware improvements. Models like DeepSeek-V3, GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and LLaMA-3 have demonstrated how scaling enhances reasoning and dialogue capabilities. However, as their performance increases, so do computing, memory, and communication bandwidth demands, placing substantial strain…
