… But a variety of other Chinese models from big companies like Alibaba, as well as startups like Moonshot AI, Z.ai, and MiniMax, have also become popular in the West. Alibaba’s model Qwen, which is easy to use and modify and is well maintained, is widely used by researchers and startups. …
… Meta’s self-reported benchmark scores for Muse Spark suggest the model is better at some tasks than the latest models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI. “Muse Spark is the first step on our scaling ladder,” Meta said in a blog post, referring to its goal of building AI that far outstrips huma… …
… But the model’s main selling point is its ability to generate images much faster than all of those models. …
… Alexander Kirillov, a founding team member of Thinking Machines and an expert on multimodal AI, meaning models that handle audio and video as well as text, says the lab’s new interaction models also have the potential to enable more customized and personalized AI. “The model constantly perceives wh… …
… OpenAI is combining a model where it partners with certain organizations on limited releases with an automated system introduced in February, known as Trusted Access for Cyber or TAC. …
… The tool casts different AI models in the roles of attacker and target. This makes it possible to run hundreds or thousands of tests and see how convincingly AI models can carry out involved social engineering schemes—or whether a judge model quickly realizes something is up. …
… Beyond the early-access framework, the order directs the Pentagon to shore up its classified networks within 30 days and directs the Justice Department to bring criminal cases against people who use AI models to hack computer systems.

… Rather, in his view, these AI models are simply the tech industry’s latest promising trend, and their success has created a “kind of delusion” among the people who build them. “It's true that LLMs are becoming really good at generating code, and it's true that they are probably going to become even… …
… It defines a frontier model as any AI model trained using more than $100 million in computational costs, which likely could apply to America’s largest AI labs, like OpenAI, Google, xAI, Anthropic, and Meta. “We support approaches like this because they focus on what matters most: Reducing the risk … …
