Debate erupts over whether opaque AI discoveries should be trusted

Keycard's Allie Howe moderated a keynote panel with Keycard CEO Ian Livingstone and JPMorgan Chase Global Chief Security Architect Michael Davis on agent identity and limits, using the Resy ban as the cautionary case.

Developer of the Steam demo "Teach my little sister how to drive" went into debt covering roughly $1,000 per day in AI inference costs to keep the demo running, per Kotaku. The AI-fueled driving simulator's running costs outpaced what the demo earned.

The LoRAlab Trainer Studio now supports MOSS-Image, enabling LoRA training for the Apache 2.0 model on hardware with under 6 GB of VRAM. It is the 12th model family integrated into the studio, which uses 4-bit NF4 loading for consumer GPUs.

A r/ChatGPT poster argues recent models (Astra and 6) need everything spelled out explicitly and lack agency and initiative, unlike GPT 5.6, which added imaginative details unprompted.

A Strata-based inference engine called Xolotl runs all 552B parameters of DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash on one RTX 4090 (24GB), a Ryzen 7 5700X, 90GB DDR4 and an NVMe drive. An uncensored 1017 quant is promised in a couple of days.

A r/Singularity gallery post titled "New chinese model benchmark scores are INSANE!" shares benchmark charts, but the snippet contains no model name, scores, or source.

Analog Devices argues the next AI hurdle is acting under imperfect measurements, timing constraints, and real-world consequences, not better model performance. The Wilmington, Mass. company says success requires advances across sensing, simulation, computing, connectivity, and control.
