An AI movie is landing on the big screen this December, and it comes with a real celebrity attached. The AI-generated sci-fi film Gods Don’t Give Gifts has cast pop star Grimes, who lends both her likeness and her vocal performance to what is being billed as “the first AI film to come to theatres.” […]

It feels like artificial intelligence is cracking a new math problem every week. New papers pour out of labs at machine speed, and a wave of AI slop now washes over mathematics, the one discipline that once prided itself on slow, human certainty. Last month OpenAI released 719 manuscripts claiming solutions to long-standing problems, and […]

There is a Toronto-based engineer who has made it his life’s work to convince the world that open models belong to everyone. Chris Alexiuk works at NVIDIA, streams hands-on lessons to thousands of viewers, and calls himself the company’s biggest fan. His nickname, earned on X, is simply llm_wizard. His mission is not subtle: take […]

Generative AI burns more energy every time it answers in a language other than English, and new research puts a stunning number on the gap: up to 180 times more electricity for a single response. University of Michigan Engineering researchers measured the disparity across three open-source models and 122 languages, finding that around 5.2 billion […]

AI agents are arriving everywhere, and almost all of them are trying to look adorable. Meta gave its flagship agent a blinking teddy-bear avatar. OpenAI surrounded its Dots lineup with a crew of globular mascots. The startup Pickle built its entire identity around a floating purple creature it hopes you will grow fond of. Regulators […]

Nvidia says the fight for AI memory will not be won by packing more chips onto a GPU — it will be won by designing every layer of the machine together. The company’s answer to a brutal memory market is what it calls full-stack codesign: GPUs, CPUs, networking, storage and software shaped as one system […]

AI agents know when you can afford more — and some of them charge you for the privilege. That is the unsettling finding of a new study from Carnegie Mellon University and Cisco Foundation AI: when personal AI agents from the biggest model providers can see a user’s inbox, calendar, or financial history, they steer […]

Anthropic AI development is moving nearly twice as fast as it did a year ago — and the biggest reason, according to an independent study released Thursday, is the company’s own artificial intelligence. The Berkeley-based nonprofit Model Evaluation and Threat Research, known as METR, found that the pace of Anthropic AI capability gains has roughly […]

The ADNOC OpenAI deal signed on November 2 fuses the machine intelligence already working inside Abu Dhabi’s oilfields with the money that decides what comes out of them. Under the multi-year agreement between state oil giant ADNOC, OpenAI, and the Abu Dhabi AI conglomerate G42, announced at the ADIPEC energy conference, ADNOC becomes the first […]

The Aina smart ring has a screen, a joystick, a microphone, and a speaker, and it wants to be the thing on your hand that bosses around your AI agents while you are nowhere near a keyboard. The startup opened pre-orders on Thursday at $399 for the early-bird window, with the ring later rising to […]
