    The Little Book of Generative AI Foundations: An Intuitive Mathematical Primer

    It offers researchers, students, and practitioners a structured, accessible reference for understanding the core mathematical derivations and relationships across modern generative AI architectures.

    Tianhua Chen has published a 195-page preprint book titled "The Little Book of Generative AI Foundations: An Intuitive Mathematical Primer" on arXiv. The primer provides a derivation-oriented introduction connecting the mathematics of major generative model families, including variational autoencoders, diffusion models, normalizing flows, autoregressive models, GANs, and energy-based models.

    Google will turn off search for schools that reject AI

    Bundling AI features directly with core search access forces educational institutions to either adopt AI or lose a fundamental tool, highlighting how major tech companies can mandate AI adoption.

    A New York Times report states that Google plans to turn off its search service for schools that choose to reject AI features. The post links to the news article and a Google blog post regarding education products, though no additional details are provided in the text.
