Two-year university study finds banning AI from classrooms leaves students worse off

A law professor spent two years testing how an AI ban, unguided AI use, and structured training affect student performance. The group without AI finished last both years. "I was wrong," the researcher writes, who had assumed that AI without guidance would do more harm than good.

Oracle’s AI Cloud Growth Eases Buildout Concerns

Oracle’s latest results helped ease concerns around its massive AI infrastructure buildout, with cloud infrastructure revenue growing 120% and the company bringing roughly 850 megawatts of new capacity online. BNP Paribas Global Head of Software Research Stefan Slowinski sees a more constructive setup as Oracle moves toward positive free cash flow, but says its upcoming Financial Analyst Day will be key for understanding the returns and the financing behind its AI expansion. He joins Ed Ludlow on "Bloomberg Tech." (Source: Bloomberg)

GPT-6 Astra appears to show a "step change" in spatial reasoning based on early benchmarks

In a new robotics benchmark, GPT-6 Astra shows major gains in spatial understanding. On StationeryBench, the model completed 7 out of 100 tasks with dual-arm robots, while competitor MolmoAct2 couldn't finish a single one. A researcher calls it a "step change in spatial reasoning."

AI models' written reasoning steps correspond to distinct internal patterns, a new study finds

Reasoning steps like calculation, formula retrieval, and deduction are clearly separable in a model's internal states, especially in the middle layers. That matters for AI safety, because models process more than their visible chain of thought reveals. The article AI models' written reasoning steps correspond to distinct internal patterns, a new study finds appeared first on The Decoder .

Google's new AI model predicts the future from sales data, weather, and discount schedules

Google Research has released TimesFM-3, a forecasting model that analyzes time series alongside related data and known future events like sales promotions or weather forecasts. Instead of predicting the future step by step, the 330-million-parameter model fills in all future time points in a single pass, which cuts compute time and reduces compounding errors.

Ex-Deepmind VP Vinyals says AI self-improvement is coming but won't trigger an intelligence explosion

Oriol Vinyals, until recently head of research at Google DeepMind, thinks a sudden AI intelligence explosion through recursive self-improvement is unlikely. AI can speed up research by a factor of ten, he says, but it hits two bottlenecks: coming up with ideas ("research taste") and reliably judging results. Reward hacking and the speed of light add further limits. Vinyals now wants to tackle these bottlenecks with his startup Discovery Loop, co-founded with Jeff Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat, and Quoc Le.
