## AI;DR

- The US restored the UK AI Safety Institute’s access to unreleased models from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic. The move lets British regulators test frontier systems before launch and supports the UK’s AI oversight ambitions. ([story](https://aidr.today/4be1348a?lang=en))
- Former DeepMind scientist David Silver is building Ineffable, pursuing a reinforcement-learning “super learner” as an alternative to standard LLM scaling. He says advancing self-teaching machines carries a moral responsibility. ([story](https://aidr.today/8df89d65?lang=en))
- Moonshot AI is negotiating a settlement potentially worth $700 million before its Hong Kong IPO. Resolving allegations over transferred model data and deleted information could remove a major listing obstacle. ([story](https://aidr.today/edc50b74?lang=en))
- Amazon is discussing a roughly $7 billion purchase of Decart after Anthropic abandoned a $6 billion bid. Decart’s chip-switching software could reduce Nvidia dependence and accelerate Amazon Trainium adoption. ([story](https://aidr.today/47c63dff?lang=en))
- VisionWeave gives multimodal LLMs elastic visual representations, allocating fine or coarse detail by region. Its gated pooler and granularity router aim to cut token costs without losing important visual information. ([story](https://aidr.today/0f610a9e?lang=en))
- Anthropic is accelerating data-center leasing, including a reported cloud deal with IREN, as analysts model enormous revenue from large sites. The push reflects the infrastructure demands behind its expanding AI operations. ([story](https://aidr.today/70b9737c?lang=en))
- Palantir attributed the deaths of 123 children in an Iran strike to human error, rejecting claims that operators over-relied on Maven AI. It has added verification agents, while the military replaced Claude with other providers. ([story](https://aidr.today/a8f17b9e?lang=en))
- Tesla added Grok @Bot to Cybercab, letting riders send emails, manage calendars and place orders by voice. Automatic logout on exit is designed to protect privacy while personalized bots remain available on future rides. ([story](https://aidr.today/9b570010?lang=en))
- RSI-Anything uses predictive world models to choose learning data and guide recursive policy improvement. Tests improved code repair, GUI completion and laboratory planning, with lab scores more than doubling across five versions. ([story](https://aidr.today/5c7b0037?lang=en))
- CacheScope accelerates diffusion inference without training by detecting risky cache-reuse steps online. It selectively restores exact denoising where needed, improving fidelity without extra networks, gradients or offline schedules. ([story](https://aidr.today/e6f511c2?lang=en))
- TII released Falcon-ASR, a 1.6B Arabic speech-recognition model focused on Emirati usage. It reports a 20.92% average word-error rate across six tests, though weights and an API are not yet available. ([story](https://aidr.today/1c5581f6?lang=en))
- SoloQ introduces calibration-free quantization for diffusion language models by normalizing weights and activations into a rotated basis. Its design supports data-independent deployment and hardware-native NVFP4 despite shifting denoising states. ([story](https://aidr.today/26a29307?lang=en))
- Algebraic integer quantization compresses LLM inference into configurable integer arithmetic with error-free multiply-accumulate operations. Results show accuracy competitive with MX formats at equivalent bit-per-parameter budgets. ([story](https://aidr.today/f5987825?lang=en))
- Hospital-operations platform Vitalize raised $31 million in Series A funding led by Oak HC/FT, with Y Combinator and others participating. Its software helps hospitals manage labor and capacity in real time. ([story](https://aidr.today/a252a94f?lang=en))
- StereoBind links moving visual sources to spatially changing stereo audio for immersive generation. Its StereoWorld-29K dataset and benchmark target stronger audiovisual consistency for AR, VR and interactive games. ([story](https://aidr.today/bf4a6533?lang=en))
- Odyssey released Odyssey-3, a free research-preview world model that generates interactive environments from text in real time. The 14B-parameter system reportedly controls robots, drones and GTA V, though benchmark claims have limitations.
