OpenAI is reportedly planning to buy AI chips from Google — its biggest rival in AI. It already rents Google's TPUs; buying them would deepen a partnership between two companies competing for the same users. The AI chip race is no longer just Nvidia's to lose.
Apple spent years saying Macs would never get a touchscreen. Yesterday it launched one anyway — a MacBook Pro with a tandem OLED display and Dynamic Island, starting at $2,899. The reversal, not the spec sheet, is the story.
Google's new Gemini 4 Carbon is built to find, exploit and patch software flaws — and it already tops the AI benchmark index at 59. The catch: you can't try it yet. It's going to cyber defenders first, through a gated program, before anyone else gets access.
OpenAI encrypts its models' hidden reasoning so nobody can read it. Researchers just got it out in plain text — using OpenAI's own compaction feature. $6,000 bounty, fixed Oct 23. It only exposed their own reasoning, not other users'. Still, the lock just got picked.
This isn't a video. It's a world you can walk through and rewrite mid-scene — and now it makes its own sound. Genie 4 is still a research preview, but this demo is the clearest picture yet of where games, training sims and filmmaking are heading.
This is Genie 4, our most realistic and interactive world model yet. 🌐
Explore dynamic environments in real time to see how the scene responds, sounds, and how the people in it move, react, and speak.
Apple's M6 MacBook Pro promises up to 25% faster AI performance and 24-hour battery — the longest ever in a Mac. The iMac jumps 5x on on-device AI vs the M4. The AI race is quietly becoming a battery-life race too.
Google's Genie 4 doesn't make videos you watch. It makes worlds you walk through — steerable in real time, with sound and dialogue generated on the fly. Still a research preview, not public yet — but the gap between video generator and game engine just shrank.
Forced to pick a candidate in 500 midterm races, Grok backed the Republican 92% of the time. GPT backed the Democrat 97%. They agreed under 10% of the time. The catch: the apps refuse this question — this was the developer API, forced-choice.
OpenAI's new Terra model, doing the boring work: reading screens, filling forms, clicking through apps. No benchmark flex, just office drudgery automated. This is what the 'agent' era actually looks like — unglamorous, and that's the point.
GPT-6.1 Terra: delivering fast and capable computer use at a lower price.
GPT-6.1 Terra understands what’s on screen, takes action across apps, writes naturally, and is a more capable model for your whole workday with the efficiency to take on more of it.
Anthropic just filed to go public — and its own filing admits the awkward part: 48% of its revenue flows through Google, Amazon and Microsoft, its investors, distributors and rivals all at once. Anthropic's biggest sales channel is also its biggest competition.
OpenAI's new GPT-6.1 Terra matches its flagship Astra on office-agent tasks at one-tenth the token price — and finishes 3x faster. API price: $1 in, $5 out per million tokens. The AI race is no longer about the smartest model. It's about the cheapest model that can do the job.
