Increasing speed of discovery Cyril Zipfel, professor of Molecular & Cellular Plant Physiology at the University of Zurich and Sainsbury Lab, saw research timelines shrink drastically. They used AlphaFold alongside comparative genomics to better understand how plants perceive changes in their environment, paving the way for more resilient crops. AlphaFold has been cited in more…

Tired of duct-taping scripts, tools, and prompts together? The Claude Agent SDK lets you turn your Claude Code “plan → build → run” workflow into real, programmable agents, so you can automate tasks, wire up tools, and ship command line interface (CLI) apps without tons of glue code.…
Black Forest Labs has released FLUX.2, its second generation image generation and editing system. FLUX.2 targets real world creative workflows such as marketing assets, product photography, design layouts, and complex infographics, with editing support up to 4 megapixels and strong control over layout, logos, and typography.

I have been hearing stories about Claude Code or Cursor "deleting the database" or wiping out files that people have spent days building while vibe coding. The real issue is usually not the artificial intelligence (AI) itself but the lack of version control. If you are not using…
How do you reliably find, segment and track every instance of any concept across large image and video collections using simple prompts? Meta AI Team has just released Meta Segment Anything Model 3, or SAM 3, an open-sourced unified foundation model for promptable segmentation in images and videos that operates directly on visual concepts instead…

The next frontier in artificial intelligence (AI) is agentic AI, systems capable of planning, acting, and improving themselves without constant human intervention. These autonomous agents denote a shift from static models that respond to inputs to dynamic systems that think and operate independently. The infographic below illustrates what…
In this tutorial, we implement an advanced Optuna workflow that systematically explores pruning, multi-objective optimization, custom callbacks, and rich visualization. Through each snippet, we see how Optuna helps us shape smarter search spaces, speed up experiments, and extract insights that guide model improvement. We work with real datasets, design efficient search strategies, and analyze trial…
Google DeepMind has released SIMA 2 to test how far generalist embodied agents can go inside complex 3D game worlds. SIMA’s (Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent) new version upgrades the original instruction follower into a Gemini driven system that reasons about goals, explains its plans, and improves from self play in many different environments.

As a data engineer, you're probably responsible (at least in part) for your organization’s data infrastructure. You build the pipelines, maintain the databases, ensure data flows smoothly, and troubleshoot when things inevitably break. But here's the thing: how much of your day goes into manually checking pipeline health,…
How can we get large model level multimodal reasoning for documents, charts and videos while running only a 3B class model in production? Baidu has added a new model to the ERNIE-4.5 open source family. ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B-Thinking is a vision language model that focuses on document, chart and video understanding with a small active parameter budget.…
