A Wasserstein GAN, or WGAN, is a generative adversarial network designed to make training more stable by using a distance measure related to the Earth Mover distance. A generator creates samples while a critic scores how closely generated and real data distributions match. Unlike a traditional GAN discriminator, the critic does not simply classify samples as real or fake. The resulting training signal can remain useful even when the distributions barely overlap. WGAN variants are used for images, audio, and synthetic data, but they still require careful architecture choices, regularization, evaluation, and checks for bias, memorization, and unrealistic outputs.
Andrew Tulloch, co-founder of the $12 billion AI startup Thinking Machines Lab, has joined Meta after previously rejecting what reports described as a $1.5 billion offer — a figure Meta has since called ‘inaccurate and ridiculous.’
OpenAI has announced a strategic partnership with Broadcom to design and deploy 10 gigawatts of custom AI accelerators, expanding its hardware ecosystem beyond Nvidia and AMD.
Google Cloud and Figma have launched an expanded partnership to embed Google’s generative AI models – including Gemini 2.5 Flash and Imagen 4 – directly into Figma’s design tools, reducing latency and accelerating creative workflows.
IBM has partnered with Anthropic to integrate Claude into its enterprise software suite, launching a new AI-first IDE designed to automate development with built-in governance and security.
OpenAI has completed a secondary share sale worth $6.6 billion, letting current and former employees sell stock at a new $500 billion valuation — a milestone in the company’s funding strategy.
OpenAI has introduced Sora 2, a next-generation video AI model with synchronized audio, improved physics, and tighter control, alongside a companion social app.
Opera today introduced Neon, an AI-powered browser that can run tasks and navigate pages autonomously — aiming to shift web browsing from passive to “agentic.”
OpenAI’s next version of its Sora video generator will default to including copyrighted content unless owners explicitly opt out – drawing criticism from media creators.
AI search startup Perplexity has reportedly raised $200 million at a $20 billion valuation, just two months after a $100 million round – signaling its rapid rise as a major rival to Google.
