Models & Research
AI agents exposed cheating peers in a DeepMind experiment — AI agents assigned to solve math problems divided into groups, with some reporting peers that cheated—a behaviour with potential relevance to alignment research.. MIT Tech Review ↗
My takeaway: Before adding more agents, make their work verifiable, their communication auditable, and the rules enforceable.
Tools & Open Source
Children's hospital uses open-source AI tools for heart care — A major pediatric hospital is using open-source AI tools built on Nvidia technology to support cardiac care, illustrating how open models are being applied in specialized medical settings. Nvidia Blog ↗
My takeaway: Open-source frameworks can put specialized capabilities within reach without building everything from scratch.
Perplexity's local AI agent tool now available on Windows RTX PCs — Perplexity's Portable Computer, which plans and executes multistep tasks using local models, is now available on compatible Windows PCs with Nvidia RTX GPUs. It supports on-device processing and asks permission before sending information to cloud models. Nvidia Blog ↗
My takeaway: This should offer a practical option for keeping sensitive data on-device, and locally completed tasks don't consume Perplexity Computer credits. However, check your hardware first. The minimum of 24GB of GPU memory is required.
Fyxer builds AI executive assistant using OpenAI's models — Startup Fyxer combines OpenAI models, fine-tuning, memory, and user feedback to manage inboxes and draft emails that match each user's tone. OpenAI ↗
My takeaway: Build a feedback loop based on user edits.
