How to Report for 100+ Clients With One Semantic Model

Configuration-driven reporting: one semantic model, one metric catalog, and a few lines of configuration per audience The post How to Report for 100+ Clients With One Semantic Model appeared first on Towards Data…

OpenAI Found 948 Ways to Get Root Access in Linux. That’s Progress.

Enormous vulnerability counts look alarming. But AI is helping defenders expose and repair weaknesses that were already there and giving them a head start is worth some patience.

How We Built NASA's Zero-Shot Detector for Gas Leaks from Space

We trained one model on methane. Without retraining, it also maps carbon monoxide, ammonia and nitrogen dioxide plumes, including the first automated CO detections from NASA’s EMIT. The post How We Built NASA's…

How GEO, WebMCP, and Bot Paywalls Are Building the AI-Native Internet

The internet of the future will look much different than the one today. Businesses are already transitioning. The post How GEO, WebMCP, and Bot Paywalls Are Building the AI-Native Internet appeared first on Towards Data…

Why a Tiny GPT Can Know Two Facts and Still Not Connect Them

A tiny GPT memorized every fact I gave it, then couldn’t answer a single question that needed two of them. I tested the one-line fix from a recent paper, and it only half worked. The post Why a Tiny GPT Can Know Two…

😺 OpenAI launched Images 2.6 with GIFs

Claude Helped Scientists Investigate a 40-Year-Old Cell Mystery. Here's What It Found

Claude helped Anthropic researchers investigate a 40-year-old cell mystery and cut a three-day lab process to 90 minutes. Its mistakes also delayed the project, raising questions about AI's reliability in scientific…

I Tested ChatGPT’s New GIF Feature. Here's What Happened

ChatGPT can now create animated GIFs from prompts or photos. I tried the workflow with a strawberry-wearing cat and checked what happened between the still image and the finished loop.
