A University of Warwick team applied a new machine-learning pipeline called RAVEN to four years of TESS observations, statistically validating 118 short-period planets and surfacing roughly 1,000 candidates not previously catalogued.
A Princeton-led reanalysis of 83.7 million TESS light curves used random forest classifiers to surface 11,554 planet candidates, including one confirmed hot Jupiter, by reaching stars 16 times fainter than prior searches.
OpenAI open-sources a 1.5B-parameter PII detection model under Apache 2.0, enabling local redaction of names, emails, and secrets without sending data to external servers.
MLCommons' April 2026 inference benchmark round adds text-to-video and vision-language tests while NVIDIA posts a 2.7x jump on DeepSeek-R1 through software alone.
A decade after the NFL embedded its first RFID chips, professional sports tracking has evolved into a real-time AI pipeline generating thousands of statistics per play, with 4K optical systems now capturing full 3D skeletal data.
Google DeepMind shipped four Gemma 4 model variants on April 2 under the OSI-approved Apache 2.0 license, replacing the restrictive Gemma Terms of Use and removing all barriers to commercial deployment, modification, and redistribution.
A 630-line Python script by Andrej Karpathy that lets AI agents autonomously run and iterate on ML experiments has become one of the fastest-growing open source projects of 2026, with Shopify's CEO among early adopters reporting double-digit performance gains.
The French AI startup ships its first text-to-speech model under open weights, offering enterprises voice cloning from three seconds of audio and 70-millisecond latency across nine languages.
Google Research unveils TurboQuant, a training-free compression algorithm that reduces LLM key-value cache memory by 6x and boosts inference throughput up to 8x, sending SK Hynix and Samsung shares down 5-6 percent.
GDC 2026 revealed a game engine industry converging on neural rendering: Microsoft added ML to DirectX shaders, Unreal shipped production Nanite foliage, Unity previewed unified GI, and Godot battled AI-generated pull request spam.
Los Alamos and University of New Mexico researchers built THOR, an open-source tensor network framework that computes configurational integrals for crystalline solids 400 times faster than molecular dynamics simulations.
Alibaba releases Qwen3.5, a 397-billion-parameter open-weight model that activates only 17B parameters per pass, beats rivals on instruction-following benchmarks, and ships at 1/18th the cost of Gemini 3 Pro.
