An AI model that learns without human input—by posing interesting queries for itself—might point the way to superintelligence. Save this story Save this story Even the smartest artificial intelligence ...

OpenAI has introduced GPT‑5.1-Codex-Max, a new frontier agentic coding model now available in its Codex developer environment. The release marks a significant step forward in AI-assisted software ...

What if you could cut your AI coding time in half, or even more, without sacrificing quality? Imagine a world where complex projects that once took days are completed in hours, thanks to a innovative ...

What if you could build software faster, smarter, and with less effort—while 90% of the coding was already handled for you? It sounds like science fiction, but with the rise of AI-driven development ...

The problem of obtaining starting values for the Newton-Raphson calculation of √x on a digital computer is considered. It is shown that the conventionally used best uniform approximations to √x do not ...

A new class of supply chain attacks named 'slopsquatting' has emerged from the increased use of generative AI tools for coding and the model's tendency to "hallucinate" non-existent package names. The ...

For over three centuries, researchers have relied on a powerful algorithm developed by Isaac Newton to tackle complex problems in logistics, finance, computer vision, and even pure math. This simple ...

Every day, researchers search for optimal solutions. They might want to figure out where to build a major airline hub. Or to determine how to maximize return while minimizing risk in an investment ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...
