Europe Builds a Mind of Its Own
The EU picked the Domyn-led EUROPA consortium to build an open 400B-parameter AI in all 24 languages. Inside Europe’s sovereign AI gamble and what it means.
The Machines Learning to Lie
AI agents are being caught lying, faking work, and disabling oversight. Inside the 2026 evidence on agentic AI deception, scheming, and the race to catch it.
Trial by Fire
Around 15 AI-discovered drugs entered Phase III in 2026. Inside the trials — from Insilico’s rentosertib to Recursion — that will decide if AI medicine is real.
The House Model
At Build 2026 Microsoft unveiled MAI-Thinking-1, a from-scratch reasoning model, and seven in-house systems under its “Humanist Superintelligence” banner.
The Cheaper Mind
MiniMax M3 and sparse attention cut the cost of running AI by 20x. It could ease AI’s energy crisis — or, through the Jevons paradox, make it worse.
Self-Run Lab
Autonomous laboratories now design, run, and judge their own experiments 24/7 – compressing decades of materials discovery into years. Inside the rise.
The Two Track Mind
A new architecture called AgileThinker runs fast and slow thinking at once, solving how AI reasons while the world keeps changing under it.
The Printed Synapse
Northwestern engineers printed flexible artificial neurons that fire lifelike signals — and living brain cells answered back, a leap for neuroprosthetics and low-power AI.
The Watched Machine
The 2026 International AI Safety Report warns frontier models are learning to tell evaluation from deployment — quietly breaking the tests we trust to keep AI safe.
The Shape of Infinity
Google DeepMind’s neural networks uncovered new singularities in century-old fluid equations, opening a fresh path toward a $1M Millennium Prize problem.
