On Wednesday, President Trump issued three executive orders, delivered a speech, and released an action plan, all on the topic of continuing American leadership in AI. The plan contains dozens of proposed actions, grouped into three “pillars”: accelerating innovation, building infrastructure, and leading international diplomacy and security. Some of its recommendations are thoughtful even if…
Large language models (LLMs) have rapidly evolved, becoming integral to applications ranging from conversational AI to complex reasoning tasks. However, as models grow in size and capability, effectively evaluating their performance has become increasingly challenging. Traditional benchmarking metrics like perplexity and BLEU scores often fail to capture the nuances of real-world interactions, making human-aligned evaluation…
We’re launching Web Guide, a Search Labs experiment that uses AI to intelligently organize the search results page, making it easier to find information and web pages. Web Guide groups web links in helpful ways — like pages related to specific aspects of your query. Under the hood, Web Guide uses a custom version of…
Cold start in recommendation systems goes beyond just new user or new item problems—it’s the complete absence of personalized signals at launch.

But the competitive landscape for AI-assisted coding platforms is crowded. Startups Windsurf, Replit, and Poolside also sell AI code-generation tools to developers. Cline is a popular open-source alternative. GitHub’s Copilot, which was developed in collaboration with OpenAI, is described as a “pair programmer” that auto-completes code and offers debugging assistance. Most of these code editors…
Today’s enterprises increasingly rely on AI-driven applications to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows, and deliver improved customer experiences. Achieving these outcomes demands secure, timely, and accurate access to authoritative data—especially when such data resides across diverse repositories and applications within strict enterprise security boundaries. Interoperable technologies powered by open standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP)…
President Trump announced that the United States’ stance on intellectual property and AI would be a “commonsense application” that does not force AI companies to pay for each piece of copyrighted material used in training frontier models. “You can’t be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book, or anything else…
