# Introduction
Standard Python objects store attributes in instance dictionaries. They are not hashable unless you implement hashing manually, and they compare all attributes by default. This default behavior is sensible but not optimized for applications that create many instances or need objects as cache keys.
Data classes address these…
How can we get large model level multimodal reasoning for documents, charts and videos while running only a 3B class model in production? Baidu has added a new model to the ERNIE-4.5 open source family. ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B-Thinking is a vision language model that focuses on document, chart and video understanding with a small active parameter budget.…
What customers are saying Google Cloud customers are already using Gemini’s native audio capabilities to drive real business results, from mortgage processing to customer calls. “Users often forget they’re talking to AI within a minute of using Sidekick, and in some cases have thanked the bot after a long chat…New Live API AI capabilities offered…

Language models continue to grow larger and more capable, yet many teams face the same pressure when trying to use them in real products: performance is rising, but so is the cost of serving the models. High quality reasoning often requires a 70B to 400B parameter model. High scale production…
Zhipu AI has open sourced the GLM-4.6V series as a pair of vision language models that treat images, video and tools as first class inputs for agents, not as afterthoughts bolted on top of text.
Model lineup and context length
The series has 2 models. GLM-4.6V is a 106B parameter foundation model for cloud and…
Increasing speed of discovery Cyril Zipfel, professor of Molecular & Cellular Plant Physiology at the University of Zurich and Sainsbury Lab, saw research timelines shrink drastically. They used AlphaFold alongside comparative genomics to better understand how plants perceive changes in their environment, paving the way for more resilient crops. AlphaFold has been cited in more…

As businesses and researchers rely ever more on web data, large-scale scraping has become a mission-critical activity in 2026. The success of such projects hinges on choosing the right proxy provider—one with global coverage, high reliability, powerful anti-bot capabilities, and strong compliance. In this article, we compare industry leaders:…
In this tutorial, we implement an advanced Optuna workflow that systematically explores pruning, multi-objective optimization, custom callbacks, and rich visualization. Through each snippet, we see how Optuna helps us shape smarter search spaces, speed up experiments, and extract insights that guide model improvement. We work with real datasets, design efficient search strategies, and analyze trial…
Scientists are using AlphaFold in their research to strengthen an enzyme that’s vital to photosynthesis, paving the way for more heat-tolerant crops. As global warming accompanies more droughts and heatwaves, harvests of some staple crops are shrinking. But less visible is what is happening inside these plants, where high heat can break down the molecular…
