A man sings happy birthday to a prehistoric dinosaur in San Francisco's Dolores Park. A cupcake appears in his hand. He blows out the candle. And none of it actually happened. Google's Gemini app now lets paying subscribers...
ByteDance released Lance, an open-source AI model that handles image generation, video creation, editing, and visual reasoning inside one unified framework — instead of stitching together separate specialized tools. At just 3...
NeuronAI's new ToolSearch middleware fixes a hidden problem in AI agents: loading hundreds of tools every request wastes tokens and causes models to make subtle, hard-to-catch errors. Instead of carrying the full catalog, agents...
A Sony PSP from 2007 — built to play games — now runs a 15-million-parameter AI language model, generating English text at 1–2 words per second using just 64MB of RAM. The entire system runs in pure C code with no Python or...
Anthropic is in early talks to use Microsoft's Maia 200 AI chips for its Claude models, adding to existing partnerships with AWS and Google as compute demand grows. A deal would also make Anthropic Maia 200's first major external...

Grok AI lags far behind Claude and Gemini in enterprise adoption, appearing in just three of 400+ federal AI use cases. A scandal over AI-generated explicit images triggered lawsuits, an EU ban, and serious reputational damage.
Using metaphors instead of technical descriptions gets better results when asking AI to create animations. Rather than listing properties like "blue glow, soft pulse," describing a physical world — like molten liquid flowing...
Physical systems like gyroscopes, springs, and rods can be used as computers by encoding information in their movement. A network of 100 gyroscopes connected by 300 springs, trained using standard machine learning methods,...
Building AI agents in 2026 has never been easier, but finding tools worth using is harder than ever. This roundup cuts through the noise by highlighting battle-tested open-source projects across 17 categories — from frontend UI...
Spotify and Universal Music Group are developing an AI tool for Premium subscribers to create song covers and remixes for a fee, with opt-in artists earning royalties. No launch date has been confirmed.
Microsoft has added ChatGPT-powered AI directly into PowerPoint, letting most users generate slides using artificial intelligence today. This integration brings conversational AI into one of the world's most widely used...
AI's massive demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) is squeezing the supply of cheaper memory chips used in smartphones, driving prices up 220–250%. Budget phones that once sold for $50 now cost $120+, collapsing smartphone...
Most people use AI daily without truly understanding how it works, and that gap creates real problems. AI doesn't actually "think" — it recognizes statistical patterns in training data and predicts likely text outputs, which is...
Using AI tools like LLMs doesn't necessarily make you dumber — it changes what you learn. By handling repetitive, low-value tasks like code refactoring, LLMs free up mental energy for higher-level problem-solving. However, skills...
Anthropic is on track to post $10.9 billion in revenue for the quarter ending in June — double its first-quarter earnings — with an expected $559 million in operating profit, marking its first profitable quarter since founding in...
A new breed of AI tutor is running entirely on your laptop, and it refuses to just give you the answer. Google DeepMind's Gemma 4 is what researchers call a "Thinking Model," one that works through logical steps internally...
Google is making a major push into AI agents at its I/O 2026 event, launching Gemini Spark — a 24/7 cloud-based assistant that works across Gmail, Drive, and 30+ external apps like Uber and Spotify. Powered by the upcoming Gemini...
Every AI query has a real energy cost, and researchers are now calculating how many questions our planet can actually afford. By applying physics principles alongside economic analysis, they estimate that AI infrastructure could...
Nobel Prize-winning author Olga Tokarczuk admitted to using AI while writing her latest novel, using it to research details like period-appropriate songs for characters. She called AI "an advantage of unbelievable proportion" for...
Arcjet built an AI security system that detects prompt injection attacks in LLM apps, using Python, Go, and the Open Inference Protocol on Modal's GPU infrastructure—delivering ~200ms responses with token-based billing and full...
OpenAI is preparing to go public as soon as September, working with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley on an IPO filing. Valued at $730 billion, the company recently cleared a legal hurdle after a jury rejected Elon Musk's lawsuit....
