Elon Musk announced this week that xAI has acquired his social media platform X, performed through an all-stock transaction expected to make it easier to raise additional funding for the combined entities. In a post on X on Friday, Musk said that xAI acquired X in an all-stock transaction, with xAI valued at $80 billion and X at $33 billion, considering a $45 billion value less $12 billion in debt for the social media company. He adds that combining the companies “will deliver smarter, more meaningful experiences,” along with offering a “platform that doesn’t just reflect the world but actively…
Tesla is testing a Model 3 with some mysterious cameras, potentially hinting toward the imminent release of the Cybercab and robotaxi platform in the United States. After Tesla unveiled the Cybercab in Los Angeles in early October, the company suggested that it would be on its way to launching driverless rides in the U.S. in the near future. Now, Tesla is inching toward a driverless ride-hailing service in Austin, Texas, among some other potential locations, but it is still working toward a platform that is robust enough to handle it. Although the company’s Full Self-Driving suite is one of the…
One of the perks of Angie Adams’ job at Samsung is that every year, she gets to witness how some of the country’s most talented emerging scientists are tackling difficult problems in creative ways. They’re working on AI tools that can recognize the signs of oncoming panic attacks for kids on the autism spectrum in one case, and figuring out how drones can be used effectively to fight wildfires in another. What’s remarkable about these innovations is that most of their creators aren’t old enough to get their driver’s licences yet. They’re part of Samsung’s Solve for Tomorrow tech competition…
Anthropic appears to be preparing a major upgrade to its Claude 3.7 Sonnet model, increasing the context window from 200K tokens to an unprecedented 500K tokens.

In 2019, an A.I. researcher, François Chollet, designed a puzzle game that was meant to be easy for humans but hard for machines. The game, called ARC, became an important way for experts to track the progress of artificial intelligence and push back against the narrative that scientists are on the brink of building A.I. technology that will outsmart humanity. Mr. Chollet’s colorful puzzles test the ability to quickly identify visual patterns based on just a few examples. To play the game, you look closely at the examples and try to find the pattern. Each example uses the pattern to…
As a sixth-generation farmer, Jeff O’Connor has seen his family farm change through the generations. The one common thread is a love of taking care of the land. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard my family say, ‘Take care of the land, and it’ll take care of you,’” the Kankakee, Illinois, farmer said. “It’s made it easier for me to look at different ways to take care of the land as we learn more about the science behind what goes on in the soil.” Bringing science to actionable and practical insights to reduce nutrient runoff has been…

OpenAI is embracing rival Anthropic’s standard for connecting AI assistants to the systems where data resides. In a post on X on Wednesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that OpenAI will add support for Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol, or MCP, across its products, including the desktop app for ChatGPT. MCP is an open source standard that helps AI models produce better, more relevant responses to certain queries. “People love MCP and we are excited to add support across our products,” Altman said. “[It’s] available today in the Agents SDK and support for [the] ChatGPT desktop app [and] Responses API [is]…
X is looking to expand the reach of its Grok chatbot, by partnering with messaging app Telegram on a new integration. So now, if you’re subscribed to both Telegram Premium and X Premium, you’ll be able to chat with xAI’s Grok AI chatbot within your Telegram streams, providing another way to get answers from Elon’s “non-woke” AI chatbot. Which X Corp is investing heavily into. In December last year, xAI announced that it had raised an additional $6 billion in Series C funding, taking its valuation to $18 billion. Elon’s AI project has rapidly scaled up its capacity, with its…
She continues, “Having the opportunity to take those concerns and voice them in Ottawa and to be able to advocate for them is something I’m passionate about and I want the opportunity to do that again.” Thomas says Canada has suffered under a decade of Liberal rule and that, whether their leader is Justin Trudeau or Mark Carney, Canadians will continue to suffer if they get re-elected.“I have people coming into my office and telling me they can’t afford groceries, they’re having to go to the food bank and they’re working – they’re working full-time jobs. I have folks who…
