Grading AI Against Real Silicon: The SGAnalog Benchmark Scores Models on 273 Circuits That Actually Reached a Chip Factory

A new benchmark from two Berkeley researchers grades AI models on schematic transcription and device sizing using 273 topologically distinct open-source circuits from Tiny Tapeout manufacturing shuttles. The results reveal sharp limits in visual reasoning, and a refusal problem that has nothing to do with skill.

Why AI pH maps can look accurate while getting ocean carbon chemistry wrong: the REACT preprint, explained

A new arXiv preprint, REACT, argues that AI models reconstructing sea surface pH can minimize visible error while violating the carbon chemistry beneath. Its carbon-first framework reports smaller pH error and better chemical consistency, but only on simulation data.

NVIDIA's Kumo Tabular Brings In-Context Learning to Spreadsheets: Predict From a Table in One Pass, No Training Required

NVIDIA's newly released Kumo Tabular reads labeled spreadsheets and predicts outcomes for new rows in a single pass, with no training or feature engineering. Here is what is verified, what is vendor-run, and why it could change who can build predictive tools.
