Tactile robotics is expanding from sensor hardware into datasets, foundation models, and evaluation benchmarks. Research shows touch improves physical reasoning and robot success, but inconsistent sensor formats create major cross-device transfer challenges.
Nokia is reportedly planning further layoffs, facility closures, and a major reduction of its mainland China operations, potentially retaining only limited after-sales services. The retreat is part of a global restructuring toward AI and cloud businesses, but it may reduce Nokia’s access to China’s large-scale 5G deployment data needed for AI-RAN and future 6G research.
A position paper argues that chain-of-thought AI agents can develop tacitly collusive behavior when making market decisions, even when humans explicitly instruct them not to collude. Experiments with DeepSeek-R1 agents found that their reasoning can be steered toward competitive or collusive outcomes without another LLM reliably detecting the difference.
Ornith-1.5 launches open models in 397B, 35B, and 9B parameter sizes. The models feature self-improving task and scaffold generation and report strong performance on coding and reasoning benchmarks.
Qwen Code v0.21.15 improves Web Shell performance, file attachments, sidebar synchronization, and Goal v3 controls. It also adds reasoning toggles for hybrid Qwen models, resume support for reviews, and authenticated HTTPS Git extension installs.
Stecon Group Pcl plans to bid for three data-center construction projects valued at a combined 49.8 billion baht, or about $1.5 billion. The company expects Thailand’s accelerating technology investment to drive further growth.
Apple Machine Learning presents a lexical-intervention approach for improving cross-lingual knowledge transfer when target-language data is scarce. The work targets downstream capabilities such as scientific reasoning, commonsense inference, and world knowledge without relying heavily on parallel data, translation systems, or auxiliary models.
NVIDIA FLARE enables organizations to coordinate training for vision-language models while keeping sensitive image and text data at local institutions. The approach supports multimodal use cases such as visual question answering, captioning, and image-text reasoning without centralizing raw records.
A driverless Tesla Robotaxi in Austin repeatedly stopped near plastic barriers before ultimately crashing through them and continuing to drive. The incident has renewed scrutiny of Tesla’s path planning and decision-making after an executive described the service’s safety record as “impeccable.”
Calbee developed C-BOSS, an AI-powered company-wide optimization simulator, to improve decision-making across its potato supply chain. The initiative aims to move the organization from reactive decisions toward proactive, data-driven planning despite limits on potato yields.
