NVIDIA Kumo Relational Outperforms Supervised Machine Learning on Relational Data, No Training Required
NVIDIA Kumo Relational is a pre-trained relational foundation model that makes predictions directly on enterprise databases. Given a predictive query, it gathers up to 10,000 historical examples as context and predicts outcomes such as churn, demand, or fraud in a single forward pass. It needs no task-specific training, no feature engineering, and no flattening of tables.

[AINews] DeepSeek DeepInfer: Open Source SOTA Inference running 155T toks/day/cluster making $22m/day at ~80% margin for a 81 day payback
DeepSeek has open-sourced DeepInfer, the production inference engine behind V4.1 Flash, and released the companion deepseek-recipe protocol conversion library, with support for NVIDIA SM100 and Huawei Ascend 950.
OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol and Google's Gemini 4 Argon found critical PHP flaw affecting millions of websites
OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol discovered a critical PHP vulnerability as part of the Patch the Planet initiative that could affect millions of websites. Security firm Wiz independently found the same flaw using Google's Gemini 4 Argon. OpenAI warns that the same AI capabilities that find vulnerabilities can help attackers too.
GTC Berlin 2026: Live Updates From NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s Keynote
Founded in a tent near the Berlin Wall in 1980, the Tempodrom moved several times before settling near Anhalter Bahnhof in 2001. Its permanent home has since hosted concerts, galas and political events. Today, it hosts a different kind of spectacle.
OpenAI models are coming to Google Cloud
OpenAI and Google Cloud are bringing frontier models and Codex workflows to Gemini’s Model Garden, available through Google Cloud Marketplace.

Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture
For decades, a fundamental question about the difficulty of computing in high-dimensional spaces has resisted proof. New research resolves this question, removing a major theoretical obstacle to understanding the efficiency of randomized algorithms used across science and computing. The Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits (KLS) conjecture was proposed in 1995.
Empowering frontline maternal care with AI-assisted ultrasound
Google Research has published a study in JAMA Network Open evaluating how well an AI model that estimates gestational age from blind-sweep ultrasound generalises across different clinical settings and hardware.

How Specializing the Vocabulary of SLMs Can Cut Inference Cost by 77% in Real Applications
Models specialized for a domain or a task by fine-tuning general open-source models, such as Qwen and Gemma, inherit a vocabulary built for many domains and general applications. In an essay grader we run in production, that vocabulary split the text the model writes most into many tokens.
