MBZUAI Researchers Release K2 Think: A 32B Open-Source System for Advanced AI Reasoning and Outperforms 20x Larger Reasoning Models

A team of researchers from MBZUAI’s Institute of Foundation Models and G42 released K2 Think, is a 32B-parameter open reasoning system for advanced AI reasoning. It pairs long chain-of-thought supervised fine-tuning with reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards, agentic planning, test-time scaling, and inference optimizations (speculative decoding + wafer-scale hardware). The result is frontier-level math performance…

A Code Implementation to Build a Multi-Agent Research System with OpenAI Agents, Function Tools, Handoffs, and Session Memory

A Code Implementation to Build a Multi-Agent Research System with OpenAI Agents, Function Tools, Handoffs, and Session Memory

In this tutorial, we begin by showcasing the power of OpenAI Agents as the driving force behind our multi-agent research system. We set up our Colab environment with the OpenAI API key, installed the OpenAI Agents SDK, and then defined custom function tools, web_search, analyze_data, and save_research, to harness the agents’ capabilities. We instantiate three…

Robot, know thyself: New vision-based system teaches machines to understand their bodies

Robot, know thyself: New vision-based system teaches machines to understand their bodies

In an office at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), a soft robotic hand carefully curls its fingers to grasp a small object. The intriguing part isn’t the mechanical design or embedded sensors — in fact, the hand contains none. Instead, the entire system relies on a single camera that watches the robot’s…

AI-enabled control system helps autonomous drones stay on target in uncertain environments

AI-enabled control system helps autonomous drones stay on target in uncertain environments

An autonomous drone carrying water to help extinguish a wildfire in the Sierra Nevada might encounter swirling Santa Ana winds that threaten to push it off course. Rapidly adapting to these unknown disturbances inflight presents an enormous challenge for the drone’s flight control system. To help such a drone stay on target, MIT researchers developed a…
