Block releases its new voice AI model, Dessa: trained entirely on real-world conversations, with a slightly awkward conversational style.

Jack Dorsey’s company, Block, announced the launch of an end-to-end voice AI model called Dessa, claiming it was trained entirely from scratch using only human speech dialogue data. The official demonstration samples exhibited a mix of naturalness and awkwardness—for example, mistakenly addressing a user as “Ronaldo”—highlighting its anthropomorphic yet still immature conversational capabilities.

AWS CDK builds reusable constructs to resolve the blocking issue during SageMaker endpoint scaling updates.

When a SageMaker real-time AI endpoint has Application Auto Scaling enabled, attempting to update its configuration—such as instance type or count—directly via AWS CDK or CloudFormation will fail. This paper proposes a CDK construct based on custom resources that leverages strict dependency orchestration to achieve atomic updates of both the endpoint’s configuration and its scaling policies, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

AI has achieved a series of breakthroughs in the field of mathematical proof: from a counterexample to the unit-distance conjecture to a proof of the Navier–Stokes equations.

From May to September 2026, OpenAI and organizations such as Anthropic reported several AI-driven mathematical breakthroughs, including disproving the Erdős unit-distance conjecture, completing a proof of the cycle double cover conjecture, advancing estimates for the Riemann hypothesis, and providing a new proof of the Navier–Stokes equations. The paper proposes a non-numeric conceptual framework to explain the limits of its capabilities, emphasizing that AI has unique advantages in high-cost, low-gradient exhaustive problems; however, none of these results have undergone independent verification or peer review.

Meta’s update to its commercial terms still fails to allay news organizations’ legal concerns about AI scraping.

Meta has revised its commercial account terms of service, removing language that explicitly permitted its AI models to be freely trained on news websites. However, legal experts note that the remaining broad wording—such as “related to your products or services”—could still be interpreted as authorizing large-scale web scraping.

OpenAI officially launches the Decisions API decision-making model, directly competing with TypeSafe Jev.

OpenAI will make the Decisions API available to all customers around October 22, 2026. This model is rebuilt on top of ChatGPT Luna and emphasizes millisecond-level low latency and cost-effective inference, with advantages in multimodal tasks such as image understanding. Currently, it lags behind competitors like the latest Jev and D1 Ultra in mainstream decision-making model benchmarks, but has already been adopted in real-world testing by companies including Box, Datadog, and Speak.
