Researchers have developed an AI method called 'Adapting While Learning' that teaches small language models to decide when to use external tools versus internal knowledge. Using this approach, an 8 billion parameter model achieved significant improvements in accuracy and tool usage precision compared to larger models. This aligns with an industry trend towards smaller, more efficient AI models that perform well on specific tasks while using fewer resources.
AI tools are transforming software testing, enabling non-coders to create tests and autonomously detect bugs. Benefits include faster automation, increased coverage, and improved accuracy. IDC predicts AI will write 70% of software tests by 2028. Challenges include potential inaccuracies, privacy concerns, and security risks. Mitigation strategies involve human oversight and secure data practices.
Google is changing Android's release schedule. The next major update will launch in Q2 2025, earlier than usual, to better align with device launches. A minor update is planned for Q4 2025. Only the Q2 release will include changes that may impact apps.
