    Meta Debunks Three Common Myths About Its Data Centers

    AIMeta says its closed-loop liquid cooling recirculates water in a sealed system, so its data centers use less water annually than an average US golf course. The company also says it pays for the new generation and transmission its facilities require, including in Louisiana under its Entergy agreement, and that data centers create construction and operations jobs.

    RSIGym gives research agents services, lifting SWE-bench Verified to 50.33%

    AIRSIGym provides a research agent with training, inference, evals, and sandboxes as callable services, so it spends its budget on experiments rather than rebuilding infrastructure. With Opus 5 as the researcher, the improved system rose from 17.67% to 50.33% on SWE-bench Verified. The post also highlights a way to measure co-evolution between harnesses and models.

    Why LlamaIndex defaults to Markdown output for document parsing

    AILlamaIndex says Markdown is its default output for document parsing because it preserves headings, lists, and tables, which helps models read content correctly. The post notes that parsers can extract every word yet lose which column a number belongs to, forcing models to guess. For tables with merged headers, LlamaIndex switches to HTML.

    Stanford HAI leaders urge keeping people central as AI transforms research

    AIStanford HAI associate directors Risa Wechsler and Russ Altman told incoming Stanford students, faculty, and staff that AI agents can help researchers write code and tackle more ambitious questions. They stressed that AI-generated results need rigorous, reproducible methods, measured uncertainty, and careful attention to missing data, systematic errors, and biased models. Altman also argued that labs should preserve mentorship and interdisciplinary collaboration while adopting AI tools.

    Show HN: Jevman lets AI models play Pac-Man against the arcade ghosts

    AIJevman is an open-source Pac-Man benchmark where AI models play 100 games each against the classic scripted ghosts. Each model gets a maze state at every junction and returns a direction probability, with answers over 2 seconds replaced by a backup rule. Community models can join the leaderboard by submitting games that CI replays to verify their scores.

    Unsloth adds OS-level sandboxing for Linux, Mac, and Windows

    AIUnsloth now supports OS-level sandboxing on Linux via bwrap, on Mac via seatbelt, and on Windows via Microsoft's MXC. Per-tool-call latency is under 100ms across all three, and its software-style sandboxing with regex AST checks adds about 3ms. The Windows integration was built in collaboration with Microsoft.

    Periodic Labs argues AI scientists need physical experiments, not just more data

    AIPeriodic Labs' Liam Fedus and Ekin Dogus Cubuk explain why scientific discovery differs from math and coding, and why experiments remain the ground truth. They describe reinforcement learning grounded in physical experiments, AI-driven materials characterization, and the view that failed experiments can be valuable training data. The transcript was truncated before the discussion of giving lab instruments "140 IQ" was completed.

    Jason Liu on learning CAD and 3D printing with AI as a magic tool

    AIJason Liu says he lacked the vocabulary, not the ambition, to design objects in CAD for 3D printing, so he learned printing, part efficiency, and shape terminology. He argues AI is like magic that still requires learning the right spells and incantations, and that it has made him want to understand the subject more deeply.

    Jabil Says Humanoid Robots Are Moving Toward Tens-of-Thousands Production Volumes

    AIJabil senior director Thomas Brown says humanoid robots are entering a phase of tens of thousands of units, where manufacturability, cost structure, and quality become central. He says Jabil works with developers to cut costs for scale, while compute and memory prices remain a pain point, and that humanoids make sense in factories and warehouses while mobile arms still suit high-speed tasks.
