Data Points: Thinking Machines Interaction Model, ERNIE 5.1, Co-Mathematician, RL Conductor, and More
This edition of The Batch covers five notable AI developments: Thinking Machines' research preview of an 'interaction model' with a 200ms micro-turn multimodal architecture; Baidu's ERNIE 5.1, a compressed derivative of ERNIE 5.0 using only 6% of typical pre-training compute; Google DeepMind's Co-Mathematician collaborative workbench reaching 48% on FrontierMath Tier 4; a 7B RL Conductor model that orchestrates multi-agent workflows via reinforcement learning; and Google's Magic Pointer cursor system powered by Gemini. Secondary items include GitHub Copilot pricing restructuring ahead of usage-based billing.
Welcome PaddlePaddle to the Hugging Face Hub
Hugging Face announced the integration of PaddlePaddle, Baidu's open-source deep learning framework, into the Hugging Face Hub. This expands the Hub's ecosystem to support PaddlePaddle models alongside existing frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow. The move broadens access to Chinese-developed AI models and tooling within the broader ML community.
Data Points: OpenAI shuts down Sora, Anthropic multi-agent harness, EVA voice benchmark, Arm AGI CPU, White House AI preemption proposal
OpenAI is shutting down its Sora text-to-video platform without explanation, ending a major Disney licensing deal worth up to $1 billion and eliminating video capabilities from ChatGPT amid Hollywood copyright tensions. Anthropic published details on a multi-agent harness enabling Claude to build full-stack applications over multi-hour sessions using a planner-generator-evaluator architecture. ServiceNow AI Research released EVA, an open-source two-dimensional benchmark for voice agents measuring both task accuracy and conversational experience quality. Additional items cover Arm's first self-designed data center CPU (AGI CPU) co-developed with Meta, and the Trump Administration's legislative proposal for a federal AI framework that would preempt state AI laws.
