AI VTuber Neuro-Sama Has Only Gone And Done It Again, Smashing Another World Record

For the uninitiated, or those outside of the "Swarm"--the name for Neuro's fanbase--Neuro is an AI VTuber created by Vedal who utilizes a large language model and a VTuber model to communicate with her Twitch chat, play games, and even go on adventures in VR thanks to the 3D version of her model. Neuro was originally created to play the rhythm game OSU on Twitch, but rapidly evolved to become

AI and the Future of Humanity

In 1863, philosopher Samuel Butler speculated that we would be the architects of our own eclipse: "We are ourselves creating our own successors...in the course of ages we shall find ourselves the inferior race." He may have been imagining mechanical looms and steam engines rather than neural networks, but the concern lingers. Science fiction of the 20th century gave us visions of malevolent, megalomaniacal artificial intelligences overthrowing humanity.

Here's Why Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Holds the Keys to AI's Explosive Growth

Alphabet ( NASDAQ:GOOG )( NASDAQ:GOOGL ) has reportedly reduced its 2026 production target for Tensor Processing Units from around 4 million to 3 million units. According to a report by Korea Economic Daily, this adjustment stems from limited access to Taiwan Semiconductor's CoWoS advanced packaging capacity, which Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA ) secured through priority allocations. CoWoS integrates processors with high-bandwidth memory on a silicon interposer, essential for high-performance AI accelerators. Without sufficient capacity, finished chips cannot deploy at scale. Other outlets have reported on production caps previously.

If the AI does a good job of these things, the user naturally thinks "what else can I do with this?" They may give the AI a slightly harder task. If the AI continues to get things right, trust grows. If the AI fails or provides a low-quality answer, the user will think twice about trying to automate the task next time.

DeepSeek breakthrough gives LLMs the highways it has long needed

As LLMs cannot grow infinitely large but do improve with size, researchers must find ways to make the technology effective at smaller scales. One well-known method is Mixture-of-Experts, where an LLM activates only a portion of itself to generate a response (text, photo, video) based on a prompt. This makes a larger model effectively smaller and faster during operation. mHC promises to be even more fundamental. It offers the chance to increase model complexity without the pain points of the past.
