Google DeepMind is pushing the boundaries of generative AI again. This time, the focus is not on text or images. It is on music. The Google team recently introduced Lyria 3, their most advanced music generation model to date. Lyria 3 represents a significant shift in how machines handle complex audio waveforms and creative…

Google is moving beyond the rectangular screen. For over 10 years, Google designers have explored how to build interfaces for transparent displays. The result is Jetpack Compose Glimmer, a design system built specifically for display AI glasses. For devs and data scientists, this is a shift from designing for pixels to designing with light.…

Cohere AI Labs has released Tiny Aya, a family of small language models (SLMs) that redefines multilingual performance. While many models scale by increasing parameters, Tiny Aya uses a 3.35B-parameter architecture to deliver state-of-the-art translation and generation across 70 languages. The release includes 5 models: Tiny Aya Base (pretrained), Tiny Aya Global (balanced instruction-tuned),…

Many of the latest large language models (LLMs) are designed to remember details from past conversations or store user profiles, enabling these models to personalize responses.But researchers from MIT and Penn State University found that, over long conversations, such personalization features often increase the likelihood an LLM will become overly agreeable or begin mirroring…

In this article, you will learn how to choose between PCA and t-SNE for visualizing high-dimensional data, with clear trade-offs, caveats, and working Python examples. Topics we will cover include: The core ideas, strengths, and limits of PCA versus t-SNE. When to use each method — and when to combine them. A practical PCA…

Top 7 Small Language Models You Can Run on a Laptop (click to enlarge)Image by Author Introduction Powerful AI now runs on consumer hardware. The models covered here work on standard laptops and deliver production-grade results for specialized tasks. You’ll need to accept license terms and authenticate for some downloads (especially Llama and Gemma),…
