Oracle announced plans to offer Google TPU accelerators in its own public cloud; this is the first time Google has supplied chips to another hyperscale cloud provider, with deployment set to begin next year and gradually scale up. Oracle will also deploy Cerebras' wafer-scale accelerators and OpenAI's Jalapeño inference chips, and use OpenAI models to power new cloud services. The two sides are also launching AI Workspace, which lets ChatGPT perform tasks on users' behalf within Oracle applicati

Google previews the Genie 4 world model, which can generate realistic three-dimensional environments based on natural language descriptions and supports editing operations such as changing the weather and adding objects with follow-up prompts. Compared with the previous generation, Genie 4 is better at rendering complex details such as fluid motion, can also generate accompanying audio such as crashing waves, and makes virtual characters move naturally and be controllable through real-time inter

Ai2 released the "Old Ideas, Novel Problems" study and a companion benchmark, testing the reliability of six models—GPT-5.1, GPT-5.2, GPT-5.4, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Opus 4.5, and Claude Opus 4.6—at judging the novelty of research ideas. The results show that small changes to the evaluation setup produce drastic differences: after switching GPT-5.4 to a simpler prompt on the Human+Generated data, its accuracy dropped from 93.5% to 40.9%, below chance level. The study also found that retrieval

Liquid AI has released the LFM3 series of open-weight models, all branched from LFM3-1.7B-Base, covering text, vision, audio, Omni, and the d1 decision model. LFM3-1.7B-Base adopts a three-hybrid-layer architecture, is pretrained on 22T tokens, and in the mid-training stage over the final 3.5T tokens incorporates more agent trajectories and tool-calling data, with the context window extended to 256K tokens. The company says LFM3-1.7B is about 25% faster than LFM2-1.2B at an 8K context, and score
