Meta’s $2 billion acquisition of AI-agent startup Manus marks a bold leap in Zuckerberg’s renewed AI drive. Founded in Beijing and now based in Singapore, Manus hit $100 million in annual revenue within eight months, offering autonomous research and coding agents that top real-world performance benchmarks. For Meta, long seeking a monetizable AI success beyond […]

Unregulated AI has started showing its colors. Kapwing’s latest research reveals a shocking reality: 21% of videos recommended to new YouTube accounts are “AI slop”—low-effort, auto-generated content designed purely for views—while 33% qualify as “brainrot,” totaling over half the feed. India’s Bandar Apna Dost leads with 2 billion views and $4.25 million estimated annual revenue,

Nvidia has struck a landmark $20 billion non-exclusive licensing deal with AI chip startup Groq for its Language Processing Unit (LPU) technology, which promises 10x faster AI inference at a fraction of GPU energy costs. Groq CEO Jonathan Ross, who pioneered Google’s TPUs, and President Sunny Madra join Nvidia to integrate the tech, while Groq

It can be treated as a Turing Test of sorts for humanoids. A humanoid robot from TARS Robotics in China achieved a world-first by performing live two-handed embroidery, stitching a logo with sub-millimeter precision on soft fabric—a task long deemed impossible for robots. TARS’ humanoid robot demonstrated exceptional dexterity at a December 22, 2025, event,

China leads the global tech race in 2025, dominating electric vehicles (EVs), robotics, and embodied AI with breakthroughs like NIO’s AI-integrated cars, battery swaps in 3 minutes, driverless taxis, and humanoid robots performing kung fu. Factories install 280,000 industrial robots yearly — half the world’s total. Drone deliveries, palm payments, and robot baristas operate at

Nvidia entered the cloud computing arena in 2023 with DGX Cloud, aiming to rival giants like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure by offering premium access to its high-performance AI GPUs bundled with specialized software. CEO Jensen Huang envisioned this as a full-stack AI platform that could generate $150 billion in revenue, surpassing AWS’s annual

White collar bloodbath is a reality. White-collar unemployment hits 4.6% as job seekers outnumber openings, with long-term unemployment surging 40% year-over-year. Young graduates can’t break in, boomers won’t retire amid 401(k) losses, and firms flatten hierarchies to slash middle-manager roles by 20%. Healthcare and government hiring prop up gains, but tech, finance, and consulting bleed

Public AI benchmarks dominate headlines, focusing on coding and general tasks, but they fail to capture real enterprise value. Matt Fitzpatrick, CEO of Invisible Technologies, argues these narrow public metrics overlook hyperpersonalized workflows across industries like legal services and BPO. Accurate benchmarks are essential for CEOs to measure ROI, validate baselines like call resolution times,

The Intelligent Edge represents a powerful fusion of edge computing, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling data processing and real-time decision-making directly at the source. From bustling manufacturing floors and expansive smart cities to even vehicles in motion, this paradigm eliminates reliance on distant centralized clouds by embedding intelligence where data originates

Anthropic has unveiled Bloom, a new open-source tool that helps researchers automatically test how large AI models behave in different situations. Instead of relying on manual reviews, Bloom creates smart simulations to observe how often a specific trait—like over-agreeing or self-protection—shows up in a model’s responses. The idea is to make AI safety testing faster

OpenAI’s decision to open its ChatGPT app marketplace to external developers marks a crucial inflection point. It’s more than just expanding a product — it’s an attempt to transform ChatGPT into a universal interaction layer for digital life. By integrating tools like Photoshop, Canva, and Spotify directly within conversations, OpenAI seeks to make ChatGPT the
