Cohere Urges Enterprises to Match AI Model Size to Each Task

The company’s new guidance treats model selection as an operating decision: use compact systems for bounded work where lower compute and flexible deployment matter, while retaining larger models where the task requires them. Cohere is urging enterprises to stop treating one large model as the default for every AI job. The proposal starts with a broad definition.

GPT-5 and Gemini-3 Recovered Up to 65% of Missed Facts by Thinking Longer

The Google Research and Technion benchmark shifts the diagnosis for some factual errors from missing training data to unreliable access—while leaving open whether the result holds beyond Wikipedia facts. A frontier model’s wrong answer may increasingly be a problem of access, not storage. That framing separates two superficially identical failures.

MIT Builds PottsMPNN to Model Protein Stability Beyond Native-Sequence Matching

The framework centers protein design on whether a sequence fits a target structure and its energy landscape, rather than whether it resembles the sequence evolution selected. MIT researchers have developed PottsMPNN, a machine-learning framework for computational protein design intended to generate structurally feasible sequences that need not resemble native proteins. Keating, was described in a PNAS paper.

Perceptron Releases Open-Weight Isaac 0.5 to Span Warehouse Robot Tasks

The startup’s pitch turns on a difficult handoff: translating visual understanding into sequenced work on a factory floor. Industrial robots can already perform many discrete jobs. Perceptron says its new open-weight Isaac 0.5 model is built for the harder handoff between seeing a workplace, choosing an action and moving through a warehouse or factory.
