Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft AI chief, has warned that artificial intelligence could take over a large part of white-collar work within the next 12 to 18 months. He says many computer-based tasks are moving fast toward full automation, and the shift may be happening sooner than most people expected. In simple terms, jobs in law, accounting, […]

OpenAI just launched Codex inside the ChatGPT iOS and Android apps, letting developers manage long-running AI coding tasks from their phone while the agent keeps working on their laptop or remote server. The heavy computing stays on your desktop, but you can approve changes, start new tasks, view code diffs, and get real-time updates from

Unitree Robotics of China has unveiled the GD01, a human‑piloted, nine‑foot‑tall robot that switches between walking on two legs and crawling on four. It weighs about 500 kg with the pilot and can smash through brick walls, yet is marketed as a civilian transport machine for rough or hard‑to‑reach terrain. Priced around $650,000, it is

Two months ago, OpenAI’s leader Fidji Simo warned staff it was “code red” time because Anthropic was surging in enterprise (big business) AI use. Now, fresh spending data from fintech company Ramp flips the script — Anthropic has taken the top spot from OpenAI for the first time among paid business users. Ramp’s latest AI

Google kicked things off early before its big I/O event next week, unveiling major AI upgrades at the Android Show. They introduced AI-native Googlebooks laptops, a new Gemini Intelligence system across devices, a smart Gemini-infused mouse cursor, and more tools to unify AI in their ecosystem. The star is the new line of Googlebooks, shipping

Mira Murati’s Thinking Machines Lab has finally stepped into view with a clear message: the future of AI may not be only about autonomous agents running tasks alone, but about systems that collaborate with humans in real time. Its new “interaction models” are designed for voice, video, and text working together in a live, streaming

Google DeepMind has launched the “AI co-mathematician,” a smart team of AI agents that acts like a research partner for mathematicians. It handles everything from brainstorming ideas and hunting for old papers to running calculations and testing proofs. No more solo struggles—this tool creates a shared workspace where AI and humans collaborate step by step.

Anthropic needs more GPUs fast to power Claude, as demand outstrips supply and hits usage caps. Just months ago, Elon Musk called Anthropic “Misanthropic” and accused it of hating Western Civilization, yet now they partner up. SpaceXAI’s Colossus 1 in Memphis delivers full access to 300+ MW and 220K+ Nvidia GPUs within weeks, doubling Claude

AI’s massive hunger for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and DRAM is vacuuming up global chip supply, sidelining consumer devices. Data centers from hyperscalers like Nvidia and Google prioritize high-margin AI servers, leaving factories churning out pricier laptops and vanishing budget PCs. Gartner predicts PC prices jumping 17% and smartphones 13% in 2026, with sub-$500 entry-level models

OpenAI has launched three new voice AI models: GPT-Realtime-2, GPT-Realtime-Translate, and GPT-Realtime-Whisper. These tools make AI better at handling real-time speech, reasoning, and tasks during live conversations. GPT-Realtime-2 adds strong reasoning like GPT-5, supports multiple tools at once, speaks while thinking, and controls tone for more natural talk. On the Big Bench Audio test, it

China saw the robotic revolution early and moved fast, with Linkerbot now claiming over 80% of the global market for high‑degree‑of‑freedom robotic hands and eyeing a 6 billion dollar valuation after a recent 3 billion round. This is industrial strategy, not gadgetry – Beijing is betting dexterous hands will be core infrastructure for factories, logistics and
