Four astronauts successfully docked at the International Space Station on Saturday, February 14, 2026, marking the arrival of NASA's SpaceX Crew-12 mission. Meanwhile, advancements in artificial intelligence continue to drive innovation, with researchers exploring the inner workings of large language models and improving their efficiency.
The Crew-12 mission, which launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida before dawn on Friday, February 13, 2026, includes NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, along with French astronaut Sophie Adenot and Russian cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev. The SpaceX Dragon capsule carrying the crew docked at the ISS on Saturday afternoon, according to NPR News.
Simultaneously, the field of artificial intelligence is experiencing rapid development. Researchers are increasingly focused on understanding the complex mechanisms within large language models (LLMs). According to Hacker News, this includes exploring concepts like the linear representation hypothesis and superposition to better understand and utilize these powerful models. The increasing complexity of LLMs fuels interest in mechanistic interpretability, as stated in the same source.
Nvidia researchers are also making strides in improving memory efficiency in LLMs, as reported by VentureBeat. This progress, alongside advancements in musical instrument design, as seen in the Guthman competition, highlights the diverse areas of innovation.
In other news, deep-sea fish larvae are rewriting the rules of how eyes can be built, according to Phys.org. These creatures, adapted to the cold, dark, and high-pressure environment of the deep sea, offer unique insights into biological adaptation.
