Researchers from Renmin University and ByteDance have released iLLaDA, an 8B language model that generates text differently than ChatGPT. It matches Qwen2.5 at the base level but falls behind after fine-tuning. The article ByteDance's "iLLaDA" is a diffusion language model that keeps up with Qwen2.5 appeared first on The Decoder.

Google DeepMind is funding research into the potential dangers of situations where millions of different AI agents interact with each other online. According to Rohin Shah, who directs the company’s AGI safety and alignment research, the mass-market arrival of agents that can carry out tasks without human oversight and follow instructions given to them by

Meta released Astryx, an open-source React design system built on StyleX. It pairs a CSS-variable theme cascade with a CLI and MCP server, so both engineers and AI agents build using the same API. The project is in Beta, MIT-licensed, and grew inside Meta over eight years. The post Meta’s Astryx Brings a CLI and MCP Server to an Open-Source React Design Sy

Anthropic launched a beta version of its Claude Tag feature for Enterprise and Team tiers, shifting its chat model into shared Slack channels. Moving away from traditional isolated chat boxes, users pull the artificial intelligence model into active group threads by typing @Claude. The integration allows any team member in the channel to delegate a task,

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is gaining rapid adoption as a plug-and-play standard for giving AI agents direct access to databases, filesystems, and internal APIs. However, because it relies on unauthenticated local transport pipes (like stdio), it completely bypasses traditional security perimeters. This architecture leaves enterprises highly vulnerable
