Can AI shopping agents move beyond sending product links and actually complete trusted purchases end to end inside a chat? Universal Commerce Protocol, or UCP, is Google’s new open standard for agentic commerce. It gives AI agents and merchant systems…
How do you design an LLM agent that decides for itself what to store in long term memory, what to keep in short term context and what to discard, without hand tuned heuristics or extra controllers? Can a single policy…
What does an end to end stack for terminal agents look like when you combine structured toolkits, synthetic RL environments, and benchmark aligned evaluation? A team of researchers from CAMEL AI, Eigent AI and other collaborators have released SETA, a…
In this tutorial, we demonstrate a realistic data poisoning attack by manipulating labels in the CIFAR-10 dataset and observing its impact on model behavior. We construct a clean and a poisoned training pipeline side by side, using a ResNet-style convolutional…
In this tutorial, we demonstrate how we use Ibis to build a portable, in-database feature engineering pipeline that looks and feels like Pandas but executes entirely inside the database. We show how we connect to DuckDB, register data safely inside…
How far can a mid sized language model go if the real innovation moves from the backbone into the agent scaffold and tool stack? Meta and Harvard researchers have released the Confucius Code Agent, an open sourced AI software engineer…
Artificial intelligence has captured headlines recently for its rapidly growing energy demands, and particularly the surging electricity usage of data centers that enable the training and deployment of the latest generative AI models. But it’s not all bad news — some AI…
Every autumn, as the Northern Hemisphere moves toward winter, Judah Cohen starts to piece together a complex atmospheric puzzle. Cohen, a research scientist in MIT’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), has spent decades studying how conditions in the…
A team of Stanford Medicine researchers have introduced SleepFM Clinical, a multimodal sleep foundation model that learns from clinical polysomnography and predicts long term disease risk from a single night of sleep. The research work is published in Nature Medicine…
The James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Center on Inequality and Shaping the Future of Work officially launched on Nov. 3, 2025, bringing together scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to explore critical questions about economic opportunity, technology, and democracy. Co-directed by MIT…
