OpenAI's new financial-services product ships with licensed data built in. But its three benchmarks improved by 3, 9.7 and 34 points — and the lopsidedness reveals what the product is really selling.

Anthropic published a model of how AI could reshape growth, wages and jobs by 2030. In its most extreme scenario the US economy grows 15.4% a year — and the wage bill for cognitive work falls 31%. Here is what the model says, and the one number almost nobody quotes.

A question mathematicians left open for about 90 years — can smooth fluid motion break down on its own? — was answered in 88 hours by roughly 10,000 AI agents. Here is the problem in plain English, what OpenAI actually proved, and why nobody is claiming the $1 million.

OpenAI shipped GPT-6 Astra with near-perfect scores on three of its four flagship benchmarks. The scores are the least interesting thing about it — the price went up 2.5x, computer use is still the frontier, and OpenAI rates the model Critical for cyber capability.

Ather Energy just launched the Konarc at ₹99,999 ex-showroom. The entry model drops the 4G connection, the GPS, the over-the-air updates and the big screen. That deletion, not a battery breakthrough, is how affordable EVs actually get built.

Apple shipped two chips on the same day from two different generations. The M5 Ultra has the same 80 GPU cores and the same 512GB memory ceiling as the M3 Ultra it replaces — yet 4.5x the AI compute. Here is what that gap tells you about where local AI is really headed.

Boris Cherny, the engineer behind Claude Code, keeps hearing the same thing: one person is 10x-ing their output with AI while the org lags. The data shows exactly why — and where the real bottleneck moved.

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis wants frontier AI models to pass an independent safety exam — a FINRA-style standards body — before they reach US users. Here is the bet behind the ask, and the voluntary-to-mandatory catch inside it.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says using AI costs you twice: once in money, once in the private know-how you reveal to make it useful. Here’s his "reverse information paradox" in plain English — and what to do about it.
