9 real-world examples of companies getting results from AI with r&d: the numbers, the companies, and the tools behind each win. Updated daily.
Most-used tools here: NVIDIA Cosmos Data Factory, Voxel51, NVIDIA Earth-2, Vaisala Xweather StormScope, JOLT, GRPO
Porsche is leading a shared autonomous vehicle data flywheel across Volkswagen Group brands. It uses NVIDIA Cosmos Data Factory blueprints, run through Voxel51 on Microsoft Azure, to generate and process training data. The effort is expected to sharply…
AXA is using NVIDIA's open Earth-2 weather models to simulate regional cyclone risk across more than 1,000 seasons. Vaisala Xweather is adding lightning data to its StormScope nowcasting tool for short-term warnings, and TotalEnergies is testing subhourly…
Researchers at Perplexity and NVIDIA introduced JOLT, a post-training method that trains one language model as both a privileged-information teacher and a student. On the MATH benchmark it matched GRPO's accuracy while processing 6.5 times fewer training…
Startup Recursive launched Flint, a free coding model small enough to run on a laptop. The company says its AI research system did most of the work in building the model, serving as an early test of AI that improves itself. No performance figures were…
AI tools from OpenAI and Google's Wiz were used to locate old, long-standing vulnerabilities in PHP, which were reported and addressed before exploitation. The article also cautions that the same AI capabilities raise risks if misused.
i14, working with AWS's GenAI Innovation Center, rebuilt its Laplace 3B linear attention model for AWS Trainium2 chips using native PyTorch via TorchNeuron Native. The design uses a fixed-size recurrent state, so serving memory stays flat as context length…
Researchers reported that ALTK-Evolve, a learned-memory system for AI agents, reached the top of the τ²-bench customer service leaderboard. The result came without depending on a frontier-class model, pointing to memory design as a lever for agent performance.
Swing Left's Ground Truth project has sent more than 3,000 volunteers to over 50 House districts in 23 states to hold open-ended "deep canvassing" conversations with voters of all leanings. Canvassers log voice-to-text recaps in an AI app, and organizers…
Incubator founder Bill Gross fed about 7,000 news articles into Anthropic's Claude, which produced 32,000 business ideas in an initial test. He then widened the inputs to patents, SEC filings and consumer complaints, building a database of over 1.2 million…
