LATENT enables the simulation of highly-dynamic tennis rallies by human athletes, showcasing versatile skills in a competitive environment. Developed by researchers from Tsinghua University, Peking University, and other institutions, it utilizes advanced AI techniques for real-time performance.

Airbus is preparing two uncrewed combat aircraft, the Valkyries, acquired from Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, for their first flight with a European mission system. The maiden flight is scheduled for later this year, as part of an effort to deliver an operational Uncrewed Collaborative Combat Aircraft system to the German Air Force by 2029.

Noids, or neural boids, utilize a small neural network to generate steering forces based on visual input from each agent, comprising 1,922 learned parameters. This system mimics the behavior of real birds in a murmuration, where no leader or predetermined choreography directs the movement of the flock.

Caitlin Kalinowski has resigned from OpenAI, expressing concern over the implications of AI in national security, particularly regarding surveillance without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization. She emphasized that her decision was based on principles rather than personal relationships.
