Google is retiring Gemini Gems. Creating and editing stops on 13 October 2026 and Gems migrate automatically to Skills in Gemini Spark on 17 November. We trace how the plan changed since August, compare Gems with Skills, explain why free, work and UK users may lose out, and list what to save now.
Two Stanford-led studies for COLM 2026 test AI benchmarks the way psychologists test exams. Across 56 benchmarks and 53 models, safety tests with the same label often disagreed, capability tests blurred together, and the scoring format mattered more than the topic. We explain the findings and what they mean for choosing a model.
University of Miami researchers treat a chatbot’s answer probabilities like a small quantum system, nudge it, and measure how unstable it is. We explain the ICLR 2026 method, recheck its worked example (which contradicts one of its own sentences), and set out its cost, its limits and what it means for businesses using AI.
A test build of Sesame’s iOS app shows a hidden Activity tab for background tasks, schedules and skills, plus Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Drive connectors. We set out what the screenshots show, how the skills copy the open Agent Skills format, how Sesame compares with bigger assistants and what to check before connecting a work account.
OpenAI’s DevDay features copy five of the six jobs an app store does inside ChatGPT: discovery, distribution, interface, identity and review. The sixth, payment and commission, is missing. We map each layer, show what a developer keeps from a sale and explain how plan sharing turns the usual economics upside down.
Minutes after OpenAI announced Dots, a viral post claimed Elon Musk’s xAI had bought dot.com to mock it. We checked the registry records, the redirect and the timeline: the record changed 63 days before the announcement and 14 days before xAI launched Grok Bot, which is where the address leads.
OpenAI’s new $500 plan is the only personal ChatGPT tier with Astra Ultrafast, and it arrived as the $200 plan lost half its allowance. We check 18 claims against OpenAI’s own documents, show that every rung from Plus upward now costs $20 per unit of usage, and work out what Ultrafast does to a 25x allowance.
Sam Altman told CNBC and reporters at DevDay on 29 September 2026 that OpenAI has no IPO timeline and must first run a few safety cases and be able to make confident safety claims. We explain what a safety case is, how Anthropic and Google DeepMind use the term, what OpenAI’s own documents call the same thing, why the claim is harder to make to public investors, and how to tell when the condition has been met.
The executive order behind the US government’s new chatbot excludes IRS tax filing from the services agencies must connect to it. We read the order and the fact sheet, show what the chatbot still answers about tax, explain why the carve-out probably exists, list the other limits, and check 13 claims in AIxploria’s AI Radar summary against the primary documents.
President Trump and six technology bosses signed a one-page White House accord on 29 September 2026 promising four layers of controls and audits for frontier systems. We set out the text word for word, who signed and who only came to lunch, what the pledge leaves out, how it compares with the 2023 voluntary commitments, the EU AI Act and California SB 53, and what buyers should ask their suppliers.
