Sandisk Corporation is upgraded to Strong Buy, driven by its high-bandwidth flash targeting AI inference memory bottlenecks.

In what is dubbed America's longest-running and most distinguished science and math competition, a 17-year-old has won the ...

Glimmer stakes out different ground: a dense model with native vision input, trained end-to-end around the agent loop, shipping with its own quantized variants and speculative-decoding drafter.

On May 20, 2026, OpenAI made an announcement that shook the mathematical world. An internal AI model — one not available to the public — had come up with a counterexample to the “unit distance” ...

Anthropic's Levant Alpöge, a former Harvard valedictorian, used Claude's Fable 5 to find something that mathematicians have failed to since 1939.
