Versos AI Wants to Turn Video Archives Into Structured Data for AI Models

wuiAI companies want licensed video training data because their models are evolving beyond text and images. Media companies have millions of hours of video data. However, what has been missing is the infrastructure to turn raw footage into datasets that can be used at scale. Versos AI says it has built that missing layer.  The…

Anthropic alleges large-scale distillation campaigns targeting Claude

Anthropic has accused three Chinese AI developers of running large-scale campaigns to illicitly extract capabilities from its Claude model to improve their own systems. The company claims DeepSeek, Moonshot, and MiniMax used a distillation technique, where a less capable model is trained on the outputs of a more advanced one. More than 16 million interactions…

Multi-token prediction technique triples LLM inference speed without auxiliary draft models

High inference latency and spiraling GPU costs have emerged as the primary bottlenecks for IT leaders deploying agentic AI systems. These workflows often generate thousands of tokens per query, creating a performance gap that current hardware struggles to bridge. Now, researchers from the University of Maryland, Lawrence Livermore National Labs, Columbia University, and TogetherAI say…
