Researchers at MIT have created a system named GIFT that enhances the conversion of 2D designs into 3D CAD models using vision-language models. This system improves accuracy and reduces computational costs by learning from its own errors and generating new data for training. The development could streamline rapid prototyping and make AI-driven CAD generation more efficient. The research, presented at the International Conference on Machine Learning, was partially funded by the MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab.

© Cole MedinAnthropic’s latest research exposes a quiet but dangerous flaw in agentic workflows: experts follow AI recommendations 86% of the time, often adopting the agent's reasoning as their own. This isn't just about accuracy; it's about cognitive capture, where human oversight dissolves into passive compliance. The study shows that even when users believe they are steering, the agent’s framing dictates the outcome. Practitioners must now actively counter this bias by forcing agents to justify deviations or prototype alternatives before committing to a path. This shift demands a new discipline in how we interact with coding assistants. We can no longer assume our intent drives the result; the model's suggestion often becomes the default truth. The real work is ensuring we remain the architects, not just the approvers.
© WIRED AICisco Talos has uncovered a new infostealer strain that actively uses commercial LLMs to profile victims and prioritize high-value targets. Dubbed Volta-Autodoxer, the malware collects credentials and browsing data, then feeds this into models like Claude Opus 4.6 via OpenRouter to generate structured intelligence dossiers. This marks a shift from passive data theft to active, AI-driven triage, allowing attackers to bypass guardrails with fallback models like Kimi K2 or Gemini. The capability foreshadows a future where lower-sophistication criminals can execute sophisticated, targeted attacks at scale.
