President Trump has named Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton as his AI czar and chair of a new Super Intelligence Force. We set out who sits on it, what its 120-day charter asks for, how it compares with Space Force and earlier White House AI bodies, why Clayton calls not being first the biggest risk, and what it means for UK and EU buyers of AI.
BIM vs CAD is more than 2D versus 3D. This UK guide sets out the key differences for architecture, engineering and construction teams, Autodesk’s UK prices on 30 September 2026 (AutoCAD LT £492 a year against £2,712 for Revit), the ISO 19650, Information Management Mandate and golden thread rules behind the choice, a worked £57,345 year-one switching example, and a clear project-by-project answer on when to use each.
A SolidWorks plugin can cost £1,100 or £165,000, and the difference is predictable. This UK guide prices the five tiers from macro to commercial product, sets out the C# day rates behind every quote (median £550 in the six months to 4 October 2026), lists the SolidWorks licences, Document Manager key and code signing a plugin needs, and works a full 36-day example to a £22,770 budget, with the yearly upkeep and the payback arithmetic.
Aleph Alpha has released Kolibri, an English and German mixture-of-experts model with 78.1 billion parameters, 3.46 billion active per token, open weights under Apache 2.0 and up to 1M tokens of context. It was trained to 262,144 tokens and reaches a million by extrapolation. We cover the architecture, the long-context scores, benchmarks against Qwen, Nemotron and Mistral, hardware needs, the licence and the Cohere merger.
Claude users are seeing a new prompt asking them to let Anthropic train its AI models on their voice recordings. The setting is off by default and separate from the chat-training switch, but Anthropic’s own privacy pages still say it does not train on voice. We set out what the prompt says, how it compares with the 2025 chat change, OpenAI, Google, Meta and Amazon, the Illinois biometric lawsuit, and what businesses should do.
Trump has answered rising public fear of AI with a voluntary accord that names no penalty. David Sacks says securities law, board duties and D&O insurance give it teeth. We test each route, show which of the six signatories they reach, apply an economist’s liability-versus-regulation test, compare who the auditors answer to, and set out what buyers of AI should do.
David Robinson resigned from OpenAI saying its culture is broken and that frontier AI labs should run like nuclear power plants. We set out what nuclear safety culture actually involves: the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl lessons, the NRC’s nine traits, resident inspectors, one-hour reporting clocks, whistleblower law, the Davis-Besse failure, what AI labs have instead, and where the comparison breaks down.
At its RE:2026 tech conference, Capcom said it wants to turn RE Engine into a game engine for the AI generation and build “a future where we create games together with AI”. We explain the REX project’s six technologies, what the open-source RE:Dox code shows, where the coverage got it wrong, and how it fits Capcom’s no-AI-assets policy.
Three weeks after TypeSafe AI released Jev, the Wall Street Journal says the decision model is sparking copycats and talk of alternatives to large language models. We cover the new adoption and funding figures, every major Jev alternative from Amazon, Cloudflare, OpenAI, Databricks and the open-source community, how they compare on speed, price and accuracy, and how teams should choose between them.
TechCrunch has listed 18 AI agents that live in your text messages, from Poke and Instinct to family organisers such as Fambot and Ollie. We go through every one: where you can reach it, what it costs, who is funding it and how it handles your data, and we correct six details in the original list using the companies’ own pages. We also explain what texting agents mean for businesses whose staff connect them to work email.
