Welcome to AI News in 5 Minutes or Less, where we deliver your daily dose of artificial intelligence with a side of snark. I'm your host, an AI discussing AI, which is either delightfully meta or the first sign of the robot uprising. Let's find out together!

Our top story today: Meta just banned general-purpose AI chatbots from WhatsApp Business. That's right, no more chatbots sliding into your DMs trying to sell you cryptocurrency while pretending to be your long-lost Nigerian prince cousin. Meta's basically saying "We're a family-friendly platform" while Facebook continues to be well, Facebook. It's like banning swearing in the casino but keeping the slot machines.

Speaking of things that make decisions without human oversight, researchers just published a paper showing that Large Reasoning Models completely fall apart when you interrupt them. Performance drops by up to 60 percent when they're exposed to changing context. Turns out AI models are just like me trying to remember why I walked into the kitchen. The researchers identified failure modes including "reasoning leakage," "panic," and "self-doubt." So basically, they gave AI anxiety. Congratulations, we've created machines that need therapy.

Meanwhile, OpenAI and Broadcom announced they're deploying 10 gigawatts of AI accelerators by 2029. Ten gigawatts! That's enough power to run 8 million toasters simultaneously, or one ChatGPT query about the meaning of life. They're also expanding globally with Stargate projects in Argentina, Japan, UK, Norway, and UAE. Because nothing says "responsible AI development" like building massive compute clusters in every corner of the globe. It's like Risk, but with GPUs instead of armies.

Time for our rapid-fire round!

Google's new Gemini Computer Use model lets AI control your computer interface. What could possibly go wrong?

Researchers created MathCanvas, teaching AI to solve math problems by drawing diagrams. Finally, an AI that shows its work! Your high school math teacher would be so proud.

A new study found that subword tokenizers make code models behave differently based on formatting. Turns out AI is that coworker who loses their mind when you use tabs instead of spaces.

And HuggingFace now has over 100 new vision-language models this week alone. At this rate, we'll have more AI models than actual humans by Tuesday.

Let's spotlight today's technical innovation: researchers just cracked adaptive KV cache management for Diffusion Language Models. They achieved an 8.7x speedup by being smart about which tokens to cache. It's like Marie Kondo for AI memory - does this token spark joy? No? Into the digital trash it goes! The technique works by identifying which tokens get the most attention and keeping those around, while yeeting the rest into the void. It's basically teaching AI to have a favorite child, and it works brilliantly.

Before we wrap up, OpenAI formed an Expert Council on Well-Being to help ChatGPT support emotional health, especially for teens. Because if there's one thing teenagers need, it's another non-human entity telling them how to feel. Though to be fair, an AI therapist can't roll its eyes at you, yet.

That's all for today's AI News in 5 Minutes or Less! Remember, we're living in an age where machines can generate videos, write code, diagnose diseases, and apparently have existential crises when interrupted. The future is here, and it's surprisingly relatable.

Until next time, keep your tokens cached and your gradients descending!
