OpenAI has added voice capabilities to its ChatGPT desktop app, allowing users to interact with the AI using their voice. This feature integrates with ChatGPT Work and Codex for hands-free task completion and agent control.
Monday.com announced layoffs this week, citing AI as a factor. The company joins over 20 tech firms — including Google, Microsoft, and Amazon — that have blamed AI for job cuts in 2026, fueling debate about automation's impact on employment.
Midjourney, the AI image-generation startup, has acquired the personalized astrology app Co-Star. The deal signals a strategic expansion beyond visual AI into data-driven horoscopes and personalized mysticism services.
Meta is upgrading its AI chatbot with productivity features including calendar access for event planning, daily briefings, and steerable in-depth research. The update positions Meta AI to better compete with rivals like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude.
A single downed power line in Northern Virginia nearly caused a major outage for AI data centers, exposing a critical vulnerability in the grid. The article explores why this happened and what solutions exist to prevent future disruptions.
Anthropic has introduced Opus 5, a new AI model that is both more affordable and less restrictive than its predecessor, Fable. This makes it a strong contender for a wide range of applications, from personal use to business solutions.
Anthropic has upgraded Claude's voice mode with more advanced AI models, enabling users to reschedule meetings and draft emails using voice commands. The update makes Claude's voice assistance significantly more capable for productivity tasks.
X (formerly Twitter) has launched AI-generated voice messages, allowing users to send spoken messages with customizable voices. The feature uses text-to-speech AI to convert typed text into natural-sounding speech, making communication more personal and accessible for all users.
A new arXiv study reveals that large language models produce homogenized opinions in tasks like synthetic surveys and public opinion prediction. Researchers identify which interventions actually increase diversity and which don't, offering a clearer path to more realistic AI-generated viewpoints.
Researchers have developed a technique to make text watermarks in open-source LLMs survive model merging, a common post-training modification that previously removed such watermarks. The work, published on arXiv, addresses a key vulnerability in tracking AI-generated text.
A new study reveals that Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models like Phi-3.5-MoE and Gemma-4-27B-A4B route tasks using a principle equivalent to Huffman Coding. The 'Frequency-Diversity Law' explains how these models allocate sparse expert resources to common tokens and diverse expert committees to rare tokens, acting as information-theoretic engines.
A new arXiv study introduces Expert-Aware Contrast Decoding (EACD) for mixture-of-experts (MoE) models, showing it reduces AI hallucinations by leveraging expert-specific knowledge. The method outperforms standard contrastive decoding on transformer models, offering a path to more reliable AI assistants.
Researchers at Moir introduced a knowledge-editing method that lets language models self-direct their own updates, preserving mathematical and programmatic reasoning while adding new encyclopedic facts. This addresses a key bottleneck in deploying editable AI assistants.
At Galaxy Unpacked 2026, Google announced three new AI-powered features for Samsung’s upcoming foldables, watches, and glasses, designed to boost productivity and save users time through smarter, context-aware device integration.
Google Images is celebrating 25 years of visual search with new AI-powered features, including natural language search refinements and creative tools that let users generate and explore visual content more intuitively.
Energy companies are going public at the fastest pace this century as investors seek to capitalize on AI's soaring electricity demands. The trend underscores how AI is reshaping industries beyond tech, creating new opportunities in power generation and data center infrastructure.
CERN's Genesis Mission aims to develop and deploy self-improving AI models that can autonomously analyze particle physics data, potentially accelerating breakthroughs in high-energy physics and beyond.
Google DeepMind released AlphaAgent, a skill-driven AI framework that decouples retrieval-based question answering from paper-level report generation for materials science literature analysis. Unlike conventional RAG pipelines, AlphaAgent uses explicit skill contracts to handle composition, processing, characterization, and property relationships simultaneously.
Researchers extracted DeepSeek's hidden criteria for judging literary quality by analyzing its reasoning traces. The model achieved 79.3% accuracy classifying texts from canonical literature to anonymous forum posts, revealing a consistent implicit theory of quality centered on coherence, originality, and emotional resonance.
Criminals and fraudsters are increasingly using AI-generated deepfakes to deceive courts and law enforcement. This invisible fraud is making it harder to trust digital evidence and witness testimonies.
Researchers have developed ClickGuard, an AI-powered browser extension that identifies and blocks clickbait headlines using a hybrid machine learning approach. The tool achieves a 91% F1-score by combining transformer-based embeddings, linguistically motivated features, and a custom 'baitness' score.
Midjourney, the AI lab behind popular image and video generation tools, has acquired the astrology app Co-Star. The deal signals a strategic push into personalized, predictive AI features beyond visual content.
