PC-ALM introduces a local-learning training method that replaces backpropagation with layer-local dynamics for neural networks. It trains 1000-layer neural nets without backpropagation. The approach uses dual neurons (Lagrange multipliers) to propagate credit across depth, improving learning in deep narrow networks where predictive coding previously struggled.

OpenAI has formed a new independent advisory group of elite mathematicians to repair strained relations after prior problematic math announcements. The advisory group is described by mathematicians speaking to The Verge as a messy and confusing process. As a result, the effort to improve communication with the math community is reported to have repeated similar issues rather than resolving them.

The biggest story today isn’t a single model release—it’s the plumbing getting thicker, especially for agentic AI. Nebius says it has struck deals with early-stage UK AI labs as it expands its GPU data-centre and compute offering in the UK, building on a planned £1.7bn build-out and an expanding London hub. That push rhymes with Britain’s British Business Bank, which announced £180m across six AI and deeptech VC funds, including £55m into Intrepid Growth Partners’ AI-focused Fund I, and with Nvidia’s own UK signal: CEO Jensen Huang announced minority-stake plans in five startups—Boltz, Foresight, Hiverge, Prima Mente, and Riverlane.
