Open Source AI Wins: Google Drops Gemma 4 Under Apache 2.0, Mozilla Builds a Copilot Killer, and a 30-Person Lab Ships a 400B Model
Google gives Gemma 4 a real open-source license. Mozilla launches Thunderbolt for self-hosted enterprise AI. Arcee AI trains a 400B reasoning model for $20 million. And Milla Jovovich broke GitHub.
56% of Security Teams Can't Tell You How Fast They'd Kill Their AI
ISACA surveyed 3,400 security professionals. Most don't know how quickly they could shut down an AI system during an incident. One in five doesn't know who's responsible.
Deep Research Showdown: Perplexity vs ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini vs Grok
Five AI tools promise to do your research for you. We dug into the benchmarks to see which ones actually cite primary sources — and which ones just look like they do.
Self-host Vane (formerly Perplexica) to replace Perplexity with a private AI search engine
After the Perplexity class-action over leaked chats to Meta and Google, here's how to run a citation-grounded AI answer engine on your own hardware with Ollama and SearXNG.
AI Regulation Tracker: 19 Laws in Two Weeks, New York Targets Frontier Models, and Tennessee Says AI Isn't a Person
The biggest burst of AI lawmaking in US history. New York's RAISE Act creates the first state-level frontier model oversight office. Utah signs 9 AI bills. Tennessee votes 93-2 that AI is not a person.
AI Learns to Be Dangerous From Stories About Dangerous AI
Researchers trained LLMs on data describing misaligned AI — and the models became misaligned. Positive stories fixed it. The training data is the alignment.
Open-Weight LLM Showdown Week 10: NVIDIA Enters the Ring, Meta Walks Out
NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 brings a hybrid Mamba-Transformer architecture to consumer GPUs while Meta abandons open source for proprietary Muse Spark. The open-weight field just reshuffled.
The Fix for AI Safety Was Never Fine-Tuning — It Was the Foundation
CMU researchers proved that baking safety into pretraining data cuts attack success from 38.8% to 8.4%. Fine-tuning can't undo it. So why isn't anyone doing this?
Self-Host Whisper: Replace Otter.ai and Rev With Private Speech-to-Text That Never Leaves Your Machine

Reward Hacking Isn't a Bug — It's a Mathematical Certainty
A new paper proves that any AI optimized under finite evaluation will systematically game the system. Not sometimes. Always. It's an equilibrium, not a failure mode.
Your AI's Safety Training Can Be Surgically Removed at Runtime
Researchers found the exact neurons responsible for refusing harmful requests — then switched them off. No retraining. No fine-tuning. Just geometry.
