With a custom MediaTek processor etched in 2 nm, mass production would target early 2027. OpenAI doesn't want to be content with just being a software provider. According to Taiwanese analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is already well accustomed to leaks regarding American manufacturers, the company is accelerating th

If you asked most enterprise leaders which AI tools are delivering ROI, many would point to front-end chatbots or customer support automation. That’s the wrong door. The most value-generating AI systems today aren’t loud, customer-facing marvels. They’re tucked away in backend operations. They work silently, flagging irregularities in real-time, automating risk reviews, mapping data lineage, or helping compliance teams detect anomalies before regulators do

Getty / Futurism It’s looking like time to sound two death knells. One for the demise of the simple Google search, and another for the entire journalism industry. On Tuesday, Google announced a massive change to its homepage that’ll transforms the old-school search box, and with it, the entire web ecosystem. Going forward, it’ll be an “intelligent” search box that expands into a more chatbot-like experience that weaves together the company’s existing AI fe

Deepfakes — digitally altered content that’s indistinguishable from real life — have proliferated off the back of the AI boom, turning the web into a noxious slurry of half-truths and misinformation. It’s also enabled a major rise in digital sex crimes th

IMAP, GPT-6 Astra, xhigh level. The X-axis shows average cost per run, and the Y-axis shows the proportion of error-free runs. Interactive version on the author’s website.Default looks good again. Some conditions yield slightly higher correctness, but they also cost more. The RFC on IMAP has not yet reached its ceiling, but we would still like to see the results on a harder task: most of the time, I work on tasks that agents most often fail to solve on the

The notification feature of the social media service “Bluesky” has been updated, making it possible to categorize and display notifications by type. We are gradually rolling out the new notification screen. You can filter notifications by type, such as replies, follows, and post alerts, or display only notifications from people you follow. Similar content is now grouped, reducing unnecessary notifications and making important notifications stand out. For m

U.S.-based Google DeepMind announced on November 11 (local time) an AI model, “AlphaGenome 2,” that predicts how DNA sequences and their mutations affect specific types of human cells. It aims to help elucidate cellular-level mechanisms that cause disease. For noncommercial research purposes, it is available through the “AlphaGenome API.” For commercial research, it will be offered as a limited preview. The first-generation “AlphaGenome,” announced last Ju

Shutterstock / Futurism Spotify, like pretty much every other digital platform, has been grappling with a torrent of low-quality AI-generated content flooding its streaming service. The deluge has resulted in cheap-and-fast AI-generated music infiltrating algorithmic playlists and even charting. The slop has led to artists — including dead musicians — being impersonated by AI-powered squatters. “The low-effort content you see where it’s mass-produced, it’s

A Frenchman had shown the way. On streaming platforms, artificial intelligence no longer merely assists musicians: it creates them from scratch, faces included. Spotify announced on Tuesday the rollout, starting from mid-

Google didn’t waste time integrating Gemini into its popular Workspace apps, but those AI features are now getting an overhaul. The company says its new Gemini features for Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides will save you from the tyranny of the blank page by doing the hard work for you. Gemini will be able to create and refine drafts, stylize slides, and gather context from across your Google account. At this rate, you’ll soon never have to use that squishy

Following its sharp stock-price decline, which ceded the world's No. 2 market capitalization ranking to Microsoft (MS), AI-related companies also fell, increasing market instability. Reuters reported

NTT DOCOMO announced that around 11 a.m. on November 11, voice calls, data communications, and SMS over its mobile phone service were difficult to use nationwide. The time of occurrence and scope of the impact are “under investigation.” The restoration time has not yet been determined. From DOCOMO’s announcement DOCOMO is describing the scope of the impact as “under investigation,” but on X, some users are reporting that “5G SA won’t connect” and “It conne

The train, you see, had apparently hit a wild bison at full speed, and the impact damaged the engine so badly that it had to be towed away for repairs. For a long time, I thought such things only happened in places like rural India, but I learned a few years ago that wildlife and infrastructure do not mix anywhere on the planet. The FAA estimates that wildlife strikes have cost U.S. civil aviation about $272 million a year on average between 1990 and 2025.

IO, the first product from her startup Luka, came before the deep learning breakthroughs that would eventually lead to today’s large language models. “It still worked,” Kuyda told TechCrunch in an exclusive interview. “It was pretty magical … but, of course, it’s nowhere near what we have today.” Luka ended up becoming Replika, the popular AI chatbot companion company. Last year, Kuyda left as CEO of Replika and founded Wabi. The technology has finally cau

Spacefast is designed to provide infrastructure for the vibe-coded apps, including databases, authentication, file uploads, emails, and analytics, to make them functional websites, apps, or services. The product competes with the likes of Lovable and Emergent, which offer both interface and rails for vibe-coded apps, but in a more open way. Users can connect Spacefast with other agents and chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw, Grok Bot, Muse, Pi
