Researchers are asking whether AI agents are ready for real long-term memory, just as another study shows how much an agent's memory can quietly give away about the people it served.
Training vs inference: the two very different jobs inside every AI Lesson
Why building an AI model and using it are separate worlds with separate costs, and why that split explains custom chips, model prices, and where the real money in AI actually goes.
The quiet race to turn messy documents into AI-ready text News
Mistral released a new document-reading model the same week an open-source rival surged, both chasing the unglamorous job that quietly decides how well AI can read your files.
