Open Source Project Bypasses Withings Subscription for Data Sync

NVIDIA has released Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, a 120B-parameter multimodal model available on AWS infrastructure including Amazon EKS and SageMaker HyperPod EKS. The open model combines reasoning and tool use with text, image, document, and video understanding, activating only 12B parameters per token through a mixture-of-experts architecture. It supports agentic AI workflows for coding, web research, and document intelligence tasks.

Nvidia released a free, open-source speech-to-text model capable of transcribing up to 40 languages. The model works on recorded audio but not live streams, positioning it as a tool for meeting and medical transcription while leaving real-time transcription to competitors like ElevenLabs.

PHP creators issued an urgent update Wednesday after researchers using AI discovered a critical flaw in the open source programming language that powers the majority of websites globally. The vulnerability could expose affected sites to hacking. The incident highlights how AI is being deployed to identify security flaws in widely used software infrastructure.

NVIDIA has expanded its Cosmos platform with new tools for training, evaluating, and deploying world models, including Cosmos Data Factory blueprints for data curation and synthetic data generation. The platform ranks in the top five on six open model leaderboards and now supports fine-tuning and optimization of compatible models like GR00T, Alpamayo, and QWEN. Early adopters including Porsche, ANYbotics, and Ultralytics are using the tools to reduce physical testing and accelerate model development.
