Peter Steinberger, creator of the viral open-source AI agent OpenClaw, has joined OpenAI to build user-friendly agents for everyone, including non-techies. OpenClaw started as a fun project called ClawdBot in late 2025, renamed after Anthropic sent a cease-and-desist over its Claude ties and security worries. It exploded in popularity by early 2026 for autonomously handling […]

India’s AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi aimed for unity among global tech leaders, but OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei turned a group photo with PM Narendra Modi into a viral meme by refusing to hold hands. Modi linked arms with Altman and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, expecting a chain,

Waymo’s robotaxis operate in cities like San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Austin, Atlanta, and Miami, planning for over 10 more in 2026 including Houston and Orlando. They use about 70 remote agents — half in the US and half in the Philippines—to suggest routes in tricky situations without steering or driving the vehicles. The onboard

Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet series has rapidly evolved, with Sonnet 4.6 marking the latest milestone released just weeks after Opus 4.6. Building on predecessors like Sonnet 4.5—which scored 77.2% on SWE-Bench—this model delivers a full upgrade in coding, computer use, and agentic tasks, becoming the default for Free and Pro users on Claude.ai. Developers now prefer

Waymo’s journey began in 2009 as Google’s self-driving car project, evolving through DARPA challenges and early tests in California and Arizona. By 2018, it launched Waymo One, the first commercial robotaxi service in Phoenix using Jaguar I-Pace vehicles, marking a shift from testing to paid rides amid industry milestones like Cruise’s beta and Uber’s setbacks.

OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 just upended particle physics, exposing a “settled” answer as wrong and crafting the right one—complete with a formal proof—in a blistering 12 hours. This isn’t hype; it’s a preprint where the AI tackled a thorny problem humans thought solved, verified by heavyweights from Harvard, Cambridge, and Princeton. Skeptics yelling “AI can’t think!” are

Google has unleashed an upgraded Deep Think reasoning mode in Gemini 3, smashing benchmarks and stealing the spotlight from OpenAI and Anthropic in 2026. It crushes ARC-AGI-2 at 84.6%, far ahead of Opus 4.6’s 68.8% and GPT-5.2’s 52.9%, while hitting 48.4% on Humanity’s Last Exam — a new record. Deep Think earns gold-medal scores on

Elon Musk’s xAI, fresh off its SpaceX merger, hosted its first all-hands meeting amid a wave of key founding team departures, including co-founders like Jimmy Ba and Tony Wu. Musk openly acknowledged the exits but framed the subsequent reorganization as essential for greater effectiveness at scale,* signaling no slowdown in ambitions. The new structure streamlines

xAI, Elon Musk’s hot AI startup, is losing its top brains fast. Just days after merging with SpaceX, two big co-founders —Tony Wu and Jimmy Ba— quit. Wu led Grok’s smart thinking tech; Ba was a key player too. Now five founders have gone in under a year. What’s cooking behind the scenes? Musk built

China’s AI labs have surged ahead in video generation, building on rapid releases like Kuaishou’s Kling series since 2024 and ByteDance’s own Seedance 1.0 in 2025. Seedance 2.0, now in beta on Jimeng AI, handles text, images, videos, and audio inputs for 2K cinematic clips with synced sound, outpacing rivals in multimodal control. This launch
