Exclusive: Mira Murati's Stealth AI Lab Launches Its First Product
Thinking Machines Lab, led by a group of prominent former OpenAI researchers, is betting that fine-tuning cutting-edge models will be the next frontier in AI. Thinking Machines Lab, a heavily funded startup cofounded by prominent researchers from OpenAI, has revealed its first product--a tool called Tinker that automates the creation of custom frontier AI models. "We believe [Tinker] will help empower researchers and developers to experiment with models and will make frontier capabilities much more accessible to all people," said Mira Murati, cofounder and CEO of Thinking Machines, in an interview with WIRED ahead of the announcement. Big companies and academic labs already fine-tune open source AI models to create new variants that are optimized for specific tasks, like solving math problems, drafting legal agreements, or answering medical questions. Typically, this work involves acquiring and managing clusters of GPUs and using various software tools to ensure that large-scale training runs are stable and efficient.
AI Is Learning to Do the Jobs of Doctors, Lawyers, and Consultants
RadVid-19, a program which identifies lung injuries through artificial intelligence, is used at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil. RadVid-19, a program which identifies lung injuries through artificial intelligence, is used at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil. The tasks resemble those that lawyers, doctors, financial analysts, and management consultants solve for a living. One asks for a diagnosis of a six-year-old patient based on nine pieces of multimedia evidence; another asks for legal advice on a musician's estate; a third calls for a valuation of part of a healthcare technology company. Mercor, which claims to supply "expert data" to every top AI company, says that it spent more than $500,000 to develop 200 tasks that test whether AIs can perform knowledge work with high economic value across law, medicine, finance, and management consulting.

ByteDance's AI Videos Are Scary Realistic. That's a Problem for Truth Online.
ByteDance's AI Videos Are Scary Realistic. An image created with Bytedance's AI tool Seedream, via the platform Kapwing, of Minions playing basketball. This week, OpenAI released its latest AI video generation model, Sora 2, advertising it as a big leap forward for the space. As Sora hits the public, it will have to compete for market share in a crowded market, including with a major competitor that is rapidly gaining steam: the Chinese company ByteDance, which owns TikTok . In the past few months, ByteDance released Seedance, an AI video generator that many users are already calling the best in the world, and a new version of Seedream, an elite image model.

The EPA Is Ending Greenhouse Gas Data Collection. Who Will Step Up to Fill the Gap?
The EPA Is Ending Greenhouse Gas Data Collection. Who Will Step Up to Fill the Gap? With the agency no longer collecting emissions data from polluting companies, attention is turning to whether climate NGOs have the tools--and legal right--to fulfill this EPA function. The Environmental Protection Agency announced earlier this month that it would stop making polluting companies report their greenhouse gas emissions to it, eliminating a crucial tool the US uses to track emissions and form climate policy. Climate NGOs say their work could help plug some of the data gap, but they and other experts fear the EPA's work can't be fully matched. "I don't think this system can be fully replaced," says Joseph Goffman, the former assistant administrator at the EPA's Office of Air and Radiation.
Fair Classification by Direct Intervention on Operating Characteristics
We develop new classifiers under group fairness in the attribute-aware setting for binary classification with multiple group fairness constraints (e.g., demographic parity (DP), equalized odds (EO), and predictive parity (PP)). We propose a novel approach, applicable to linear fractional constraints, based on directly intervening on the operating characteristics of a pre-trained base classifier, by (i) identifying optimal operating characteristics using the base classifier's group-wise ROC convex hulls and (ii) post-processing the base classifier to match those targets. As practical post-processors, we consider randomizing a mixture of group-wise thresholding rules subject to minimizing the expected number of interventions. We further extend our approach to handle multiple protected attributes and multiple linear fractional constraints. On standard datasets (COMPAS and ACSIncome), our methods simultaneously satisfy approximate DP, EO, and PP with few interventions and a near-oracle drop in accuracy; comparing favorably to previous methods.
Attention over Scene Graphs: Indoor Scene Representations Toward CSAI Classification
Barros, Artur, Caetano, Carlos, Macedo, João, Santos, Jefersson A. dos, Avila, Sandra
Indoor scene classification is a critical task in computer vision, with wide-ranging applications that go from robotics to sensitive content analysis, such as child sexual abuse imagery (CSAI) classification. The problem is particularly challenging due to the intricate relationships between objects and complex spatial layouts. In this work, we propose the Attention over Scene Graphs for Sensitive Content Analysis (ASGRA), a novel framework that operates on structured graph representations instead of raw pixels. By first converting images into Scene Graphs and then employing a Graph Attention Network for inference, ASGRA directly models the interactions between a scene's components. This approach offers two key benefits: (i) inherent explainability via object and relationship identification, and (ii) privacy preservation, enabling model training without direct access to sensitive images. On Places8, we achieve 81.27% balanced accuracy, surpassing image-based methods. Real-world CSAI evaluation with law enforcement yields 74.27% balanced accuracy. Our results establish structured scene representations as a robust paradigm for indoor scene classification and CSAI classification. Code is publicly available at https://github.com/tutuzeraa/ASGRA.
