Small language models (SLMs) are quickly becoming the practical face of AI. They are getting faster, smarter, and far more efficient, delivering strong results with a fraction of the compute, memory, and energy that large models require. In this tutorial, we will review some of the top small language models making waves in the AI world. We will compare their size and performance, helping you understand which models offer the best balance for your needs.
What if the solution to muscle spasms, bladder issues, fatigue, and brain fog…Was hiding in your water?

A report by ARK Invest, an investment management firm specializing in disruptive innovation, predicts that further tech-led transformations are on the horizon, with artificial intelligence (AI) poised to spearhead this change.

NVIDIA just released a Deep Research system where you write the strategy, and it writes the code to execute it.Most research agents follow one hardcoded approach - search, analyze, report. NVIDIA's Universal Deep Research (UDR) lets you write the research process itself in plain English, then automatically converts your methodology into executable Python code that runs in a sandbox.

Over the coming decade, every new product or service will integrate some form of AI. In some cases, AI will drive the entire system—such as a voice-controlled travel agent that autonomously plans and books trips. In other situations, AI will be used to enhance specific components, like automating the evaluation of loan applications in a tightly regulated fintech platform..

P2 is a new HTML templating library for Ruby where HTML is expressed using plain Ruby. The templating source code is always compiled into an efficient Ruby code that generates the HTML. The code written inside a P2 template is never actually run, it just serves as a description of what you actually want to do. This post looks at how P2's template generation works.
Here’s how it works:

Apple released its iPhone 17 lineup along with updates for the Apple Watch and AirPods at its new hardware event yesterday. The iPhone 17 models have larger screens and an improved camera system compared to the previous generation. The new ultra-thin iPhone Air will replace the Plus model. The iPhone 17 will come in new colors: lavender, mist blue, black, white, and sage.
As we age, our muscles naturally lose mass, strength, and functionality, which can lead to fatigue and weakness beginning as early as our 30s. Recent studies indicate that our mitochondria—the cellular powerhouses that generate 90% of our energy—play a crucial role in this decline, contributing to reduced muscle function as we age. A new way to support and improve muscle health as we age, Mitopure® by Timeline is clinically shown to meaningfully boost our mitochondrial health to improve muscle strength, without any change in exercise required. Ready to feel stronger, for longer with Mitopure? Big Data News Weekly readers can take 30% off their first month with code 30NEWSLETTER for a limited time. While supplies last.
*500mg Mitopure® have been shown to (1) induce gene expression related to mitochondria function and metabolism and (2) increase the strength of the hamstring leg muscle in measures of knee extension and flexion after 4 months in overweight 40-65 year olds.

Microsoft is bringing Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4 into Office 365, alongside OpenAI’s models, to improve performance in apps like PowerPoint and Word. According to The Information, Microsoft leaders believe Claude outperforms GPT-4 in specific tasks, such as generating visually appealing slides. This move comes as Microsoft negotiates a new licensing deal with OpenAI and builds its own models, including MAI-Voice-1 and MAI-1-preview.

Boston startup and MIT Media Lab spinoff Alterego just introduced a “near-telepathic” wearable that uses AI to detect subtle movements and interpret a user’s silent communication “at the speed of thought” without speaking out loud. The headset uses tiny cameras to detect small muscle movements in a user’s jaw and throat when thinking about speaking, turning signals into commands.

Anthropic rolled out new productivity features to Claude, including the ability to create and edit Excel sheets, Word documents, PowerPoint slides, and PDFs directly in chat, challenging OpenAI’s dominance in the workplace AI space. Claude gains a private computing environment where it can write and run code to create files, turning data into reports with charts, analysis, and formulas.

Nvidia's new Rubin CPX GPU is designed for context windows larger than 1 million tokens. It is optimized to process large sequences of context. Users will get better performance on long-context tasks such as video generation and software development. The Rubin CPX will be available at the end of 2026.
