Researchers fabricated an AI-driven dating website that delivered below or beyond expectations of the user. They found that how expectations were matched—or mismatched—correlated to whether the user wanted to better understand how the AI system worked. Credit: Pennsylvania State University Artificial intelligence (AI) is said to be a "black box," with its logic obscured from human understanding—but how much does the average user actually care to know how A

On Tuesday, Donald Trump finally signed his executive order expanding the government’s efforts to conduct voluntary safety testing of frontier AI models. Now, critics are warning that the order may be short-sighted, offering only performative reassurances that the government is actively monitoring for AI risks, while changing very little about how and when models are deployed. Last month, Trump abruptly canceled a signing event, where he had hoped to launc

Google revealed Gemini 4 Argon a few weeks ago, saying that it needed to move cautiously toward a full release because of the potential for nefarious use. Google seems to have worked all that out pretty quickly, though. Argon is beginning its wide rollout today, but it’s only coming to paying users at this time, and even those on lower-tier plans won’t have full access. Nothing about Gemini 4 Argon’s capabilities has changed. Google still points to the ben

A free, open-source tool called “BenchUp,” which aims to be an alternative to the 3D modeling software “SketchUp,” has been released. It uses the Rust programming language and WebGPU graphics technology, allowing users to create three-dimensional shapes in a web browser. Desktop applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux are also available. BenchUp was initially released under the name “KetchUp,” but the name had been changed by the time this article was w

Nvidia participated in the all-primary Series B round alongside Accel, Shastra VC, and Micromax, with Dallas Venture Capital leading the investment. The deal values the four-year-old startup at about $100 million, including the new funding. Companies are nowadays spending heavily on GPUs to power AI applications, but running those models reliably and economically at scale remains a challenge. Different workloads demand distinct trade-offs between speed, co

DuckDuckGo, a company that focuses on user privacy by limiting data collection, clearly sees this as a moment to make inroads in education, where Google has historically dominated. According to figures Google has published in previous years, there are around 50 million Chromebooks in schools, used by students and educators, and its Google Classroom platform serves over 150 million users globally. On X, DuckDuckGo’s founder and CEO, Gabriel Weinberg, pointe

Three-year-old Clutch was last valued at $85 million when it raised a $20 million Series A round in January 2025, led by Lightspeed and SignalFire, according to our source. The startup is currently approaching $10 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). That means the acquisition, if completed, would value Clutch at about 50 times its ARR, a standard way of pricing software companies. Palo Alto Networks and Clutch Security did not respond to a request f

A new report from Ramp shows AI spending flatlined over late summer even as token volumes rose, a sign that price competition and savvier customers may be capping revenue for OpenAI and Anthropic. According to Ramp’s data, token spend only grew 1.5% across August and September. To compare, in July, it grew 42% from the previous month. As Anthropic gears up for its IPO, the data suggests investors might be wrong to assume AI companies will keep growing at b

We’ve created a bot which beats the world’s top professionals at 1v1 matches of Dota 2 under standard tournament rules. The bot learned the game from scratch by self-play, and does not use imitation learning or tree search. This is a step towards building AI systems which accomplish well-defined goals in messy, complicated situations involving real humans.
