That’s an expensive and politically tricky proposition for investors throwing billions of dollars at the challenge of scaling up AI. One way to use less water is to do a better job monitoring the cooling fluids, a task that currently involves sending samples away to a laboratory for tests in a multi-day process. Omen AI was founded in 2024 to solve that problem. The company is building a real-time sensor to determine whether valves were failing, or if bact

Israeli-American startup 42AI says it is developing a “behavioral world model” that can do just that, and it has just come out of stealth with $62.5 million in seed funding. The company is initially running its predictive system at a handful of financial brokerages, where it says the model can help predict how individual traders will respond to volatile conditions. “Behavior is not deterministic; it’s constantly probabilistic,” 42AI’s CEO and co-founder Am

Jeff Seedman, a public relations specialist representing Squarespace, confirmed the layoffs to TechCrunch. The Verge initially reported the layoffs. “Squarespace is restructuring its organization and reducing its global workforce by approximately 19%, representing around 300 employees,” said Seedman. “The changes are intended to simplify how we operate, sharpen our priorities and enable the company to move faster as we position Squarespace for its next pha

The filing seems to warn that the company is on the cusp of creating a model capable of recursive self-improvement (RSI). RSI is the point at which AI grows so good at training itself that it spawns a dramatic acceleration of AI capabilities. To the AI doomers, RSI represents the cataclysm from which there is no return, in which AI builds itself into something powerful enough that it slips beyond human control and may be indifferent to the damage it causes

Businesses adapting these models for specialized fields, such as law and finance, typically get around this by fine-tuning general models. However, that often requires hiring internal research teams or relying on expensive consultants, commonly known as forward-deployed engineers (FDEs). Trajectory, a startup founded about a year ago by three Stanford classmates with experience at Google DeepMind and Apple, wants to automate that process, allowing AI model

“I spend about maybe $100[,000] to $200,000 a year on tokens,” he told Isaacson. He uses agents for countless work projects and coding tasks and has freely shared his set of 23 Claude Code skills, called gstack, on GitHub — an effort to help teach others what agents can do, he said. On the one hand, he uses his agent the way many people use AI: to help him research Isaacson’s podcast and prep for the kinds of questions he might be asked. On the other, his

However, on Monday’s earnings call, Apple signaled that it may look to boost services revenue through third-party apps. What does that mean, exactly? Unfortunately, it’s not entirely clear. When discussing how AI could potentially “contribute to revenue growth over time,” Kevan Parekh, Apple’s chief financial officer, said: “On the product side, you know, we feel AI offers a compelling reason for customers to upgrade and switch in order to get the latest c

On Monday, Google expanded Dreambeans, available on Android and iOS, to India with support for 13 local languages, including Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali, alongside English. The launch comes less than two months after Google made the app available to all eligible U.S. users aged 18 and older. Introduced in June, Google’s Dreambeans uses information from connected Google services, including Calendar, Gemini, Gmail, Photos, Search, and YouTube,

The news was first announced via an emailed press release sent out by Apple’s communications team in India early on Tuesday. The update rolled out in the U.S. and other markets later in the day. The sound recognition feature will help deaf and hard-of-hearing users identify important sounds like sirens, alarms, or doorbells from their watch, while the song recognition feature taps into Apple’s Shazam app to detect music playing in the background and identi
