Surprise: Mojo 1.0 is officially in beta! Modular’s 26.3 release includes new features and modalities, but the headline is that we’ve officially hit beta for Mojo 1.0, with a clear plan to finalize Mojo 1.0 in the coming months. We share details below, alongside other key announcements in our 26.3 release including video generation in…

China’s answer to AI’s growing appetite for computing power may involve moving data with light instead of adding more GPUs. Peking University researchers developed an optical interconnect system that reportedly made distributed AI inference more than 100 times faster while using one-ninth of the usual computing resources, according to the South China Morning Post. The…
application we build is a RAG app. The recipe is simple: chunk, embed, retrieve, then answer. It looks clean on paper. But once you use it on real cases, things get messy very quickly: similarity search finds similar wordings but not necessarily useful chunks, the right evidence never shows up in the retrieved context as…
13th July 2026 – Link Blog DOOMQL (via) Peter Gostev built this using GPT-5.6 Sol. This is a lot of fun: DOOMQL started with a deliberately unreasonable question: what if SQLite were the game engine, not merely the place where a game stores data? The result is a small, original Doom-like game in which SQL…
Unity Catalog was designed for interoperability at scale. Enterprises have the flexibility to run any engine on a single copy of data with governance enforced centrally. Today, we are taking interoperability a step further. We’re excited to announce that external access to Unity Catalog (UC) managed Delta tables is now in Public Preview. Over the…
Ed’s stories explore prescription drug pricing, affordability and access, as well issues surrounding patents, litigation, and legislation. He is also the author of the morning Pharmalittle newsletter and the afternoon Pharmalot newsletter. After more than a year of squabbling, a group of AIDS activists obtained an R&D agreement that was at the heart of a…
Introduction The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has marked a significant advancement in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). During this period, Cloud Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) offered by Paperspace + DigitalOcean have emerged as pioneers in providing high-quality NVIDIA GPUs, pushing the boundaries of computational technology. NVIDIA, was founded in 1993 by three…
To understand AI capabilities across these cognitive abilities, we propose a three-stage evaluation protocol that benchmarks system performance in relation to human capabilities: Evaluate AI systems across a broad suite of cognitive tasks covering each ability, using held-out test sets to prevent data contamination Collect human baselines for the same tasks from a demographically representative…
Useful quantum computers will require fault tolerant logical operations. Researchers are actively exploring many different quantum error correction (QEC) codes to enable this, improving the Logical Error Rates (LER) of Quantum Processing Units (QPUs). While it is well understood how to run logical operations with surface codes (which belong to the topological code family) via…
