Google Cloud AI Research, with Washington University in St. Louis and UNC Chapel Hill, has released EnvHarness, an Apache-2.0 layer that turns a static agent benchmark into one that adapts to the policy training on it. It wraps a frozen environment through the standard reset()/step() interface, so tasks and human-built verifiers stay untouched — and an LLM

Voice agents fail on latency long before they fail on intelligence. Time to first token is the metric most teams use to choose an inference API, and it is the right starting point and the wrong stopping point. This benchmark works through every layer of the voice stack — LLM, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and speech-to-speech — using figures verified a

LAION's Big Video Dataset (BVD) is one of the largest open video datasets for AI research, with 80 million videos, 10 million hours of runtime, and 55 million auto-described clips. Models trained on BVD beat the previous benchmark, InternVid, by up to 2.1 percentage points. Legally, LAION can likely point to a 2024 Hamburg court ruling that allows collecting

Google Research has introduced WikiSkill, a framework that gives AI agents a persistent knowledge base. Instead of discarding what they learned after each run, agents document both failures and successes in a wiki-like structure and use that knowledge to get better over time. Larger models benefit more, but smaller models with WikiSkill can match the perform

Presented by EDB As enterprises give AI agents more autonomy — the ability to plan, decide, and act across systems without a human approving each step — a hard question moves to the center of every architecture review: When an agent tries to complete an action that it was never authorized to do, what actually stops it?These are your agents, running on yo
