November 12, 2025 09:16 AM

The Doubao-Seed-Code model is a coding agent priced at 40 yuan a month, with a special launch price of 9.9 yuan (US$1.30) for the first month. The new model set a state-of-the-art record on the SWE-Bench Verified test. It supports popular development tools like veCLI, Cursor, and Cline, and is compatible with Anthropic's API. The model can process up to 256,000 words per query and can handle complex codebases.

Build times for gigawatt-scale data centers can be 2 years or less
IMAP

November 12, 2025 09:16 AM

Gigawatt-scale AI data centers are massive undertakings that require extensive permitting, construction, and power infrastructure. Many hyperscalers have concrete plans to build data centers at this scale in two years or less. The time from starting construction to achieving one gigawatt of total facility power ranges from 1 to 3.6 years. The first gigawatt-scale datacenters are expected to come online in early 2026.

How to Train an LLM: Part 1
IMAP

November 12, 2025 09:16 AM

This post walks through how a researcher set up basic pre-training infrastructure and trained a 1B Llama 3-style model on 8xH100s. The resulting model is far from state-of-the-art, but it provides a clear working implementation that can be abstracted further.

RL Environments and the Hierarchy of Agentic Capabilities
IMAP

November 12, 2025 09:16 AM

Researchers dropped nine frontier AI models into a simulated workplace environment and gave them 150 jobs to do. Most of the AIs were barely coherent, and even the best lacked common sense. The experiment showed how models must acquire more fundamental capabilities before we can even begin to discuss how well they perform common-sense reasoning in real environments. Finding out whether common sense reasoning is a set of identifiable, trainable sub-skills or an emergent property of large-scale real-world training will help shape the next stage of AI development.

Why Sudoku Variants Remain a Grand Challenge in AI Reasoning
IMAP

November 12, 2025 09:16 AM

Modified versions of Sudoku test an AI's creativity and ability to strategize around rulesets that don't appear in its training data, unlike fixed-rule games like Chess or Go. GPT-5 is the first LLM to solve a 9x9 variant by simultaneously coordinating four constraint types (standard rules, region sum lines, XV pairs, and Roman numeral cages), but it still only succeeded 20% of the time.

From Words to Worlds: Spatial Intelligence is AI's Next Frontier
IMAP

November 12, 2025 09:16 AM

Current LLMs are wordsmiths in the dark—eloquent but inexperienced. They lack a core cognitive function of humans: spatial intelligence. "World models" solve this by generating geometrically and physically consistent simulated worlds, processing multimodal inputs like images and gestures, and predicting next states based on actions. If successful, the technology would be a step change for robotics, video models, and drug discovery.

November 12, 2025 09:16 AM

AI is changing from models that excel at passive, discrete tasks to a new class of software capable of autonomous problem-solving and task execution. The new frontier is built around AI agents. This page contains a whitepaper written by Google researchers that introduces readers to AI agents. AI agents are complete applications that plan and take actions to achieve goals. They combine models' ability to reason with the practical ability to act.

November 12, 2025 09:16 AM

Some of the biggest AI infrastructure deals that Meta, OpenAI, and xAI are part of involve innovative, and in some cases risky, funding schemes. These tech titans are offering sweeteners in their deals because they need to offload risk as the cost of the AI arms race soars. While banks and fund managers are writing big checks for now, many are worried about how the complicated deals will perform when the AI frenzy calms down. This article takes a close look at some of the biggest AI megadeals so far.
