**DeepSeek** launched the public-beta of **DeepSeek-V4-Flash API**, boasting a significant post-training performance leap without architecture or size changes, achieving a **Terminal-Bench score of 82.7** and nearing **GPT-5.6 Luna's 51** s…
Claude Opus 5 is highlighted alongside Digibee’s use of Opik to construct prompts that power their AI-native integration platform, and a new paper introduces Progress Reward Modeling for improving robotic learning. The issue also mentions additional developments and resources in deep learning. AI summary
This paper develops a technique to identify and mitigate demographic bias in large language models by selectively pruning specific neurons in neural networks, without significantly impacting the model's overall performance. Practitioners in AI and NLP may care about this method as it could help create more fair and transparent language models.
Kimi K3, an open-weights model, has been released by Moonshot AI, with a 2.8T-parameter MoE model and 104B active parameters, achieving a 2.5x scaling-efficiency improvement over K2. The model's early evaluations are strong, particularly in agent/coding tasks, with top rankings on Agent Arena and Frontend Code Arena. AI summary
Eric Jang explains how to build AlphaGo from scratch using modern AI tools, detailing the game of Go's rules and the core Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm. He describes how deep neural networks, specifically value and policy network…
