Black Forest Labs' new Self-Flow technique makes training multimodal AI models 2.8x more efficient

This efficiency makes it viable for enterprises to move beyond generic off-the-shelf solutions and develop specialized models that are deeply aligned with their specific data domains ...

Microsoft built Phi-4-reasoning-vision-15B to know when to think — and when thinking is a waste of time

B, an open-weight multimodal vision AI model designed to deliver strong math, science, document and UI reasoning with far less training data and compute than much larger systems.
