A quick catch-up on today’s AI news: Meta changes the default rules for how public Instagram photos can be used in AI image generation, French startup ZML launches a new inference server aimed at running models across a wide range of chips, and a new biomedical QA paper shows how different agent-style workflows can help on different question types. We also hit a few shorter headlines on OpenAI, AI security, and payments.
