Today, we are introducing Gemma 4 12B, our latest model designed to bring agentic multimodal intelligence directly to laptops. Bridging the gap between our edge-friendly E4B and our more advanced 26B Mixture of Experts (MoE), Gemma 4 12B packages powerful capabilities inside a reduced memory footprint. It is also our first mid-sized model to feature…
In pharmaceutical research, scientists face a fundamental challenge: accessing and connecting the vast amount of scientific knowledge scattered across disparate systems. From published literature and internal lab notes to genomics databases, critical insights remain trapped in silos, making it difficult for researchers to form comprehensive connections and generate promising hypotheses. This fragmentation slows down the…
Dive Brief: Penumbra said Tuesday it has started a clinical trial that could support wider use of mechanical thrombectomy in a subset of stroke patients. The real-world prospective study is assessing Penumbra’s RED reperfusion catheter portfolio in patients with M2 occlusions. Penumbra, which Boston Scientific has agreed to buy for $14.5 billion, is assessing whether…
For years, enterprise AI strategy has operated on a simple assumption that once the models get good enough, adoption will follow. That assumption is now being tested — and failing. Model capability has, by most measures, arrived. What hasn’t arrived yet are the infrastructure, security posture, and workflow architecture needed to enable autonomous systems to…
Dimensional defects are parts that fall outside their intended size, spacing, position, or alignment tolerances, invisible to the eye but enough to stop a part from fitting or working. You can catch them automatically in a Roboflow Workflow: Gemini detects the features, a small Python block measures the center-to-center distance, and it returns a pass…
LLM-based chatbots’ capabilities have been advancing every month. These improvements are mostly measured by benchmarks like MMLU, HumanEval, and MATH (e.g. sonnet 3.5, gpt-4o). However, as these measures get more and more saturated, is user experience increasing in proportion to these scores? If we envision a future of human-AI collaboration rather than AI replacing humans,…
Featured projects This past weekend in San Francisco, builders, researchers, mobile developers, and AI practitioners came together for the ExecuTorch Hackathon, a two-day, on-site event focused on a practical and increasingly important question: what can we build when powerful AI runs locally on the device in your hand? Held June 27–28, 2026, the hackathon challenged…
BOSTON — Governor Maura Healey has summoned the state’s largest health system and its striking nurses to the State House on Wednesday in an attempt to broker a new contract, according to the Massachusetts Nurses Association. The calling of the late-afternoon meeting came hours after a boisterous start to Massachusetts’ biggest-ever nurses strike, and the first at…
Matt Harrison Clough/Ikon Images Summary: Many leaders and companies fail to effectively track and grow the returns that their artificial intelligence investments yield. The three approaches that emerged from recent research reflect practical ways businesses can do better. By assessing your organization’s current level of maturity, you can see what’s missing and what steps you…
Out of the box, a YOLO model is a generalist. It knows 80 everyday objects and not much else. The real magic, though, comes from teaching it your task. That is what fine-tuning does, and it is far easier than most people expect. In this guide we fine-tune YOLO26 on two very different real-world problems….
