"A simple question was tested with a 100-day, 10-stock backtest: "Which is stronger for short-term prediction of Japanese stocks: a time-series foundation model (Kronos) or a Large Language Model (Claude Sonnet/Opus)?" The result was the somewhat surprising conclusion that the LLM showed a clear advantage over the dedicated time-series model."

"Here we introduce an evolution of that benchmark, LABBench2, for measuring real-world capabilities of AI systems performing useful scientific tasks."

"Claude Code is expanding the role of 'making simple tools' to all employees, just as Excel macros changed the work of non-engineers."

"SoftBank and its partners aim to develop a 1-trillion Parameter foundation model to advance Physical AI, targeting the linkage of robots and autonomous driving models by 2030."

"This is not an ordinary corporate collaboration, but a last stand for Japanese AI—abandoning the race to catch up with China and the US in general large models, betting on physical AI and sovereign AI, and making a national effort to fill the gaps."

"Baidu AI Cloud announced the 'Embodied Intelligence Data Supermarket', a standardized data distribution platform designed to accelerate the commercialization of humanoid robots."

"In the long-term pursuit of Physical AGI, SynapX adheres to first-principles thinking, consistently viewing the home scenario as its North Star goal and the ultimate testing ground closest to the 'Turing Test' of Physical AI."

"It seems openai has model of Mythos benchmarks and may release soon"

"TRIBE v2's development is focused on the in-silico neuroscience use case."

"Despite operating in a purely zero-shot setting, JointFM reduces the energy loss by 14.2% relative to the strongest baseline when recovering oracle joint distributions generated by unseen synthetic SDEs."

"According to Cao Tongyi at GTC, YuanRong Qixing is reconstructing the next-generation advanced driver-assistance system technology with a Foundation Model, defining it as a physical world AI base model."

"The main goal of Stage 2 is to leverage the development results and challenges of Stage 1 and challenge the realization of a foundation model that can generalize to multiple tasks."

""[GPT-5.4] excels at creating long-horizon deliverables such as slide decks, financial models, and legal analysis, delivering top performance while running faster and at a lower cost than competitive frontier models.""

"Joining Meta seven months after, Pang Ruoming has already gone to the next stop—OpenAI."

"Our approach successfully mitigates robustness issues of foundation models for computational pathology without retraining the foundation models themselves, enabling development of robust computational pathology models applicable to real-world data in routine clinical practice."

"They join us to unpack the new financing playbook for AI: why today’s rounds are really compute contracts in disguise, how the “raise → train → ship → raise bigger” flywheel works, and whether foundation model companies can outspend the entire app ecosystem built on top of them."
