An Alien Mind

Publisher preview

In mid-2023, within the “RLSlow” research project, we saw the first results that gave us confidence that we will be able to scale the training of reasoning models, unlocking the capability of pretrained models to form their own chains of thought. Szymon and I spent that night at the office, thinking not about the incredible benchmark numbers, products, or scientific results that this technology will deliver - but rather, trying to process the sobering fact we will actually see machines meaningfully smarter than ourselves in our lifetime, and we already…

NeoMME: an efficient Multimodal-native and Multilingual Encoder

Publisher preview

We introduce NeoMME, a family of 260M and 800M multilingual multimodal encoders. Unlike many generative visual language models, NeoMME does not use a separate pretrained vision tower or a causal language model. A single bidirectional Transformer processes both text tokens and raw image patches, and we train the entire model from scratch with a masked discrete-diffusion objective. We fine-tuned NeoMME for visual document retrieval using ColPali's page-image approach. NeoMME-Retriever returns dense and late-interaction embeddings in one forward pass. Both model sizes lie on the ViDoRe v3 Pareto frontier for nDCG@10…

Playco cut manual fixes 50% prototyping games with GPT-6 Astra

Publisher preview

Using GPT‑6 Astra, Playco built three themed game prototypes from one grey box foundation, with most working on the first take. Playco is using GPT‑6 Astra in building Playbot, an AI-powered IDE for professional game developers. It connects directly to engines such as Unity and Godot so AI models can edit scenes, play and test games, validate changes, and work in parallel inside the tools developers already use. In game development, a model needs to do more than write code. It must reason about space, visual references, responsive interfaces, game…

From MIT to IBM, expediting AI and quantum deployment

Publisher preview

The experience of transitioning from research based in theory to focusing on real-world application can vary significantly for different researchers. However, for two former MIT graduate students and a former postdoc, all now at IBM, working with the MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab (formerly the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab) during their formative years enabled them to not only close the gap between education and employment, but also to generate ideas promising to business impact. Despite pursuing varied careers in quantum machine learning, reinforcement learning and artificial intelligence agents, and trustworthy and…

Proactive cyber defense for governments and enterprises

Publisher preview

Today, we’re launching our Fairwind Program, a limited access program for governments and trusted partners to use our most advanced cyber defense capabilities. Defenders wanting to use advanced AI have faced a difficult dilemma: adopt enormous frontier models that could be expensive to deploy and difficult to control across enterprise codebases, or turn to smaller open-weight models that might struggle with complex vulnerability remediation and require teams to build their own tooling and infrastructure from scratch. Until now. Today, we’re launching our Fairwind Program to bring the best of Google’s…

How AI-native companies turn workflows into operating capability

Publisher preview

Basis, Clay, and Exa Labs use agents for onboarding, account management, and developer integrations. Their examples show what enterprise leaders can borrow. OpenAI’s latest Enterprise Signals shows enterprise AI moving from assistance to execution at sharply different speeds. Frontier firms (those with the top 10% of AI usage) now generate 8.3× as many output tokens per active user as typical firms, up from 2.6× in January. The widening gap points to a deeper operating shift: leading firms connect agents to company context and tools, delegate more substantive work, and make…
