Artificial Intelligence News
AI tools help people write software, search information, create content and automate parts of their work. Find news on developer tools, coding assistants, open-source projects and software for running AI locally. Our coverage explains what each tool does, how access and pricing work, and which practical limits or security considerations matter before you add it to a workflow.
Lead story
Higgsfield has published a practical guide to automating AI video creation, from batching clips in ChatGPT or Claude to scheduling recurring work and building generation into a product. The useful distinction is how much happens without you: two routes still need a person to start each request, while…
Read the report & discussion ↗Meta AI Watch
Meta has unveiled new networking designs for AI data centres, including a liquid-cooled switch rack and a fabric intended to connect larger GPU clusters with fewer network hops. The announcement also includes open implementations and a new standards initiative, putting infrastructure choices that are usually buried in the…

AI can help media teams sort, tag and find video, but many organisations struggle to turn that promise into measurable results. Veritone CEO Ryan Steelberg argues that the sticking points are often the unglamorous work around the tools: data, legacy systems, governance and staff readiness.

Businesses scaling AI should track what it costs, what value it creates and where each task should run, argues HP executive Neil Sawyer. His case for combining cloud and local AI offers a practical alternative to sending every task to the cloud by default.
Unsloth Watch
Unsloth’s new beta lets local and hosted models browse the web, while adding several useful tools for training and running models on personal hardware. The browser controls and performance changes make this a substantial update for people building local AI workflows, not just another dot on a release…
DeepSeek Watch
A community plugin called DeepSeek Bot adds multiple bots, persistent memory and group chats to DeepSeek Harness, with its data stored on the user’s own computer. It offers Harness users a practical way to experiment with AI teams, though the project is independent of DeepSeek itself.
Advantech Watch
Advantech and Leopard Imaging are showing a machine-vision system that runs camera capture and AI inference locally on an edge computer. The demo combines four live camera feeds with person detection across eight additional video streams, without sending the video to the cloud.

TypeSafe AI has raised $870 million in a Series A round at a reported $7.5 billion valuation, backing its push to build AI models that return structured decisions inside software rather than simply chat. The company says about a third of Fortune 500 firms are already using its…

Korean job postings mentioning generative AI tools rose 170% year on year in the third quarter, with listings naming Claude up 770%, according to JobKorea data reported by The Korea Times. The figures suggest employers are increasingly asking for familiarity with specific AI tools, not just general digital…
AWS AI Watch
AWS has released Strands Box, an open-source sandbox that checks what AI agents do, not just what they can access. It is in developer preview for Macs with Apple silicon, with Linux support planned, and offers a practical way to put rules around agents that run commands, call…
Meta AI Watch
Meta has released an open-source SDK that connects its Muse AI agent to ESP32 boards and Linux devices such as Raspberry Pi computers. It gives developers a way to link Muse with screens, audio, sensors and other connected hardware, extending the agent beyond a phone app and into…

AI decision models are spreading from startups to major cloud and AI companies, offering a faster, cheaper way to make defined choices than asking a general-purpose model to write an answer. The catch: a neatly formatted decision can still be the wrong one.

Accenture and Dell have formed a dedicated business group to help organisations deploy AI on private infrastructure, including in regulated industries. The expansion pairs Accenture’s industry and services work with Dell’s AI-ready systems, and Accenture plans to train more than 3,000 practitioners on Dell’s portfolio.

Elecrow’s CrowPi 3 is a Raspberry Pi learning station with 41 built-in sensors and lessons in computer vision, speech recognition and chatbots. The useful catch: its larger language models connect to online services, rather than running locally on the Pi.
AMD Watch
AMD’s GAIA 0.25.0 release candidate brings a larger local model, a much leaner Windows desktop install and tighter checks around agent permissions and files. It is a substantial preview for testers, not the finished release, and several changes may require users to rebuild data after upgrading.
Nous/Hermes Watch
Nous Research has raised $90 million to expand its work on open AI models and agents, including a planned enterprise offering built around Hermes Agent. The financing gives the open-source AI developer fresh backing and a stated route into business use, though the enterprise product is still a…
Moonshot AI/Kimi Watch
DoorDash and Airbnb are using models from China’s Moonshot AI, according to Coinpaper, which attributes the detail to an 11 October Washington Post investigation. The reported shift points to a practical challenge for US AI firms: competitive models can travel across borders even when chip exports are restricted.

Global PC shipments fell by about 20% year on year in the third quarter of 2026, according to figures cited by Windows Latest. The report points to soaring memory and storage costs, with AI data-centre demand part of the pressure, while the industry’s AI pitch has yet to…

A cryptomining campaign has compromised more than 3,400 servers, including systems running AI services such as LiteLLM and Ollama, according to research from Lumen’s Black Lotus Labs. Operators should check exposure and patch affected software: the campaign was still infecting new victims when Lumen published its findings.
