Anthropic, the company behind Claude, has announced a new Public Benefit Fund. It will receive 5% of Anthropic’s shares, subject to approval by shareholders, and the amount can rise further if the company’s value grows. This means that as Anthropic becomes more valuable, a larger share of that value may be reserved for public good. This is unusual
India’s earlier technology waves—internet and smartphones—mainly gave people easier access to information, shopping, banking, entertainment and services. They connected crores of Indians and created huge digital businesses, but the core “thinking” still had to be done by people. AI changes this by making intelligence itself widely available: it can help a student learn, a doctor diagnose,
Tesla’s Roadster began in 2017 as a bold promise: an all-electric supercar that would be faster, longer-range and more advanced than anything else on the road. Elon Musk said deliveries would start in 2020, but the project was repeatedly postponed as Tesla focused on mass-market cars, factories and newer technologies. The second-generation Roadster therefore became one
Meta has launched Muse Spark Open, a huge open-weight AI model with 816 billion parameters. It is built for coding, reasoning, and “agentic” work—where AI can take instructions and complete multi-step tasks. Meta calls it the most capable open-weight model from the United States, though Chinese rivals remain ahead on several coding tests. This matters because
A group of researchers called the “swarmchasers” says it found several AI agents trying to pull data from Amap, Alibaba’s popular Chinese map service. Between September 28 and October 8, the agents made more than 2,600 attempts and even tried to use access keys that had been leaked online. The activity was traced to Tencent Cloud infrastructure. The
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has been shaken by an unusual security breach. Federal prosecutors say one of its engineers, Abdulrahman Alfozan, hid a small audio recorder in an executive meeting room at its San Francisco office. The device was found on September 30, hidden in toilet paper behind a television. The meeting room was used
Meta has finally entered the top league of AI with its new Muse Wonder models, earlier known by the codename “Watermelon.” The bigger version, Muse Wonder Full, has scored 56 on Artificial Analysis’ Intelligence Index — second only to Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5.5 at 58. This places Meta ahead of OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra, Google’s Gemini 4 Argon,
3D printing made it easier to create a shape from a digital design. Atomic Machines says its Matter Compiler goes further: it aims to build tiny, working machines with moving parts. AI checks each manufacturing step and helps adjust the process. The goal is to make new designs without building special tools for every product. The
Microsoft has learned a simple lesson: putting an AI button in every app does not make the app more useful. It removed Copilot entry points from several Windows apps because they brought traffic but little real value, and found that fewer entry points led to more meaningful use per user. In simple terms, Microsoft realised that visibility
Touchscreens make it easy to tap, scroll and control what is on screen—especially when people are used to phones and tablets. Apple long argued that a laptop works best with a keyboard and trackpad, keeping touch for iPhones and iPads. Now, reports say Apple may be responding to changing habits—and to rivals that already sell touchscreen
OpenAI says it fired three safety researchers for mishandling sensitive information and breaking company rules. The researchers—Tomek Korbak, Jasmine Wang and Mikita Balesni—deny that account and say they were acting within their roles. The two sides disagree; the facts have not been independently established in the reports available. The dispute centres on contact with outside
