Researchers found an auto-displayed AI answer cut 'I don't know' responses from 35 percent to 1 percent, though the model was mostly wrong. A 10-cent penalty for wrong answers still left abstention at 7 percent, so review tools need more than an abstain button.

Give Atlas a few images and it generates views a camera never shot, then exports depth, point clouds, and 3D splats you can move through. The invented geometry looks as measurable as the observed, a gap that matters more to a robot than a filmmaker.

GenRec, a fine-tuned open-weight model that reads watch history as text, beat Netflix's hand-built pipeline offline and in a live A/B test. The gains are small; the cost story is the interesting one.
