For the last two years, the fundamental unit of generative AI development has been the “completion.” You send a text prompt to a model, it sends text back, and the transaction ends. If you want to continue the conversation, you have to send the entire history back to the model again. This “stateless” architecture—embodied by …

Fresh off releasing the latest version of its Olmo foundation model, the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) launched its open-source video model, Molmo 2, on Tuesday, aiming to show that smaller, open models can be viable options for enterprises focused on video understanding and analysis. In a press release, the company said Molmo 2 “takes …
OpenAI made its image generation offerings more precise and consistent in its latest update to ChatGPT Images, as more enterprises and brands use AI image generation to help with design visualization. The updates will roll out to all ChatGPT users and the API as GPT Image 1.5. The company said it’s powered by GPT 5.2, …

Presented by SAP In an era where anyone can spin up an LLM, the real differentiator isn’t the AI technology itself, but the institutional knowledge it’s grounded in. Internal and partner consultants leading operational transformation can’t risk hallucinated guidance when their recommendations impact integrated processes across supply chain, manufacturing, finance, and other core functions. “Grounded …

Zoom Video Communications, the company best known for keeping remote workers connected during the pandemic, announced last week that it had achieved the highest score ever recorded on one of artificial intelligence’s most demanding tests — a claim that sent ripples of surprise, skepticism, and genuine curiosity through the technology industry. The San Jose-based company …
Zoom says it aced AI’s hardest exam. Critics say it copied off its neighbors. Read More »
It has become increasingly clear in 2025 that retrieval augmented generation (RAG) isn’t enough to meet the growing data requirements for agentic AI. RAG emerged in the last couple of years to become the default approach for connecting LLMs to external knowledge. The pattern is straightforward: chunk documents, embed them into vectors, store them in …
Zencoder, the Silicon Valley startup that builds AI-powered coding agents, released a free desktop application on Monday that it says will fundamentally change how software engineers interact with artificial intelligence — moving the industry beyond the freewheeling era of “vibe coding” toward a more disciplined, verifiable approach to AI-assisted development. The product, called Zenflow, introduces …
As enterprises accelerate the deployment of LLMs and agentic workflows, they are hitting a critical infrastructure bottleneck: the container base images powering these applications are riddled with inherited security debt. Echo, an Israeli startup, is announcing a $35 million in Series A funding today (bringing its to-date total to $50 million in funding) to fix …
Enterprises that want tokenizer-free multilingual models are increasingly turning to byte-level language models to reduce brittleness in noisy or low-resource text. To tap into that niche — and make it practical at scale — the Allen Institute of AI (Ai2) introduced Bolmo, a new family of models that leverage its Olmo 3 models by “bytefiying” …
We’ve heard (and written, here at VentureBeat) lots about the generative AI race between the U.S. and China, as those have been the countries with the groups most active in fielding new models (with a shoutout to Cohere in Canada and Mistral in France). But now a Korean startup is making waves: last week, the …
