AI Code Generation Soars with Cerebras Chips

AI Advancements and Robotics Dominate Tech News

Several significant developments in artificial intelligence and robotics emerged this week, including new AI models, partnerships, and job opportunities. These advancements signal a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

OpenAI launched GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark, a coding model designed for near-instant response times, marking its first major inference partnership outside of Nvidia, according to VentureBeat. The model runs on hardware from Cerebras Systems, a chipmaker specializing in low-latency AI workloads. This move comes amid a strained relationship with Nvidia and internal organizational changes within OpenAI.

Simultaneously, Chinese AI startup MiniMax released its new M2.5 language model in two variants, promising high-end AI at a significantly lower cost. VentureBeat reported that the model is expected to be open source, though the exact license type and terms are still pending. The company is offering the model through its API and partners, aiming to make powerful AI more accessible.

The impact of AI is also being felt in cybersecurity. According to MIT Technology Review, AI is already making online crimes easier, with hackers using these tools to reduce the time and effort required to orchestrate attacks. Security researchers are focusing on the immediate risks posed by AI, which is speeding up and increasing the volume of scams.

In the robotics field, Asimov, a Y Combinator-backed company, is hiring individuals to collect training data for humanoid robots. The role involves recording egocentric video of everyday tasks. The company provides the necessary equipment, and the position offers flexible hours and remote work opportunities. The pay starts at $20 per hour, with potential raises.

In other tech news, Eufy's X10 Pro Omni robovac has fallen to its best-ever price, according to The Verge. This offers consumers a chance to get a head start on spring cleaning.
