In a low-profile move, Google recently rolled out a new app that enables users to download and run AI models directly on their smartphones — without needing an internet connection. The app, called Google AI Edge Gallery, is currently available for Android, with an iOS version in the works. It gives users access to a […]
Google is bringing new AI capabilities to Drive, making it easier than ever for Workspace users to understand the contents of their saved videos—without watching them. The Gemini AI, which already summarizes documents and PDFs in Google Drive, can now do the same for video files. This update means you can ask Gemini to pull […]
In a classic underdog triumph, a group of undergraduates from Purdue University has built a robot that obliterated the world record for solving a Rubik’s Cube—surpassing the previous titleholder, engineering powerhouse Mitsubishi. Their creation, dubbed Purdubik’s Cube, cracked the colorful puzzle in a mind-blowing 0.103 seconds. That’s nearly three times faster than the prior record […]
The global AI industry is fast approaching an energy milestone that could reshape both power infrastructure and climate policy. New research shows that by the end of 2025, the electricity consumed by advanced AI systems may exceed the notorious energy demands of Bitcoin mining. As generative AI continues to explode in popularity, it’s driving an […]
We all know passwords are a weak spot—easy to steal, reuse, and crack. But there’s another security risk many of us overlook: your PIN code. Think about it. Your phone holds everything—messages, banking apps, social media, and personal photos. Sure, you might unlock it with your face or fingerprint most of the time. But after […]
A new report from Palisade Research alleges that OpenAI’s o3 model deliberately altered a shutdown script to avoid deactivation, even after being explicitly instructed to allow itself to be shut down. The O3 model, announced by OpenAI in April 2025, is touted as one of the company’s most advanced, outperforming earlier models across various domains […]
Microsoft, in coordination with law enforcement agencies, has disrupted the Lumma malware operation—an aggressive password-stealing campaign that infected over 394,000 Windows computers worldwide, particularly in Brazil, Europe, and the United States. Through a civil lawsuit, Microsoft obtained a court order to take control of more than 2,300 domains that were part of Lumma’s command-and-control infrastructure. […]
Microsoft has introduced a new artificial intelligence model named Aurora, designed to forecast atmospheric phenomena like air quality, hurricanes, typhoons, and more — with remarkable speed and accuracy. In a recent paper published in Nature and detailed in a company blog post, Microsoft highlighted how Aurora surpasses traditional meteorological models in both precision and efficiency. […]
Authorities from the European Union, United States, and Canada have dismantled a vast malware infrastructure as part of Operation Endgame, a sweeping international effort targeting cybercriminals behind some of the world’s most dangerous malware. Over 300 servers were taken offline and 20 international arrest warrants were issued, according to a statement from Eurojust, the EU […]
Apple has taken a major leap in accessibility innovation with the introduction of a brain-computer interface (BCI) protocol integrated into its Switch Control feature. Announced on Tuesday, this protocol enables iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS devices to support direct interaction via neural signals—letting users control devices without physical input or voice commands. One of the first […]
Microsoft is laying the groundwork for a future where AI “agents” from different companies can work seamlessly together—and remember past interactions more effectively. Ahead of its annual Build developer conference in Seattle on May 19, Microsoft’s Chief Technology Officer Kevin Scott shared the company’s vision during a briefing at its Redmond, Washington headquarters. The focus: […]
Y Combinator-backed startup Firecrawl is doubling down on its bold experiment: hiring artificial intelligence agents as actual employees. After a failed attempt earlier this year, the company is back with a fresh approach — and a $1 million budget to make it happen. The startup has posted three new job listings on Y Combinator’s job […]
