Machine Learning
Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have built ReAAP, a reconfigurable processor that pairs a smart software compiler with adaptable hardware to run deep neural networks up to 5.7x faster than a leading GPU and 3.3x faster than an ARM CPU.
European researchers have combined millimeter-wave radar with machine learning to identify bees and wasps by their wingbeats, pointing to a non-destructive new way to monitor the pollinators that underpin global food supplies.
New METR benchmarks put Claude Opus 4.6 at a 14.5-hour task horizon, with AI capability now doubling roughly every four months.
