Kia has announced that owners of the EV6, EV9, and Niro EVs have officially gained access to over 21,500 Tesla Supercharger locations in North America. However, its announcement also contained an apology to Tesla. First, Kia said that its three EV offerings will have access to Tesla’s expansive Supercharger Network. More than 40,000 DC fast chargers are available to Kia EV drivers, a major uptick as Tesla Supercharger access nearly doubles the number of accessible piles. Sean Yoon, President of Kia North America and Kia America, said: “Kia is committed to an exceptional ownership experience, and expanding the network of…
OpenAI is introducing a new version of its ChatGPT deep research tool that it says is cheaper to operate. The “lightweight” model is available now to free users, as well as those on several of the company’s paid tiers.Deep research (lightweight) is powered by a version of OpenAI’s o4-mini model, and the company says it’s “nearly as intelligent” as the original deep research mode, which produces lengthy reports including citations and summaries of its process. OpenAI adds that the lightweight version delivers responses that are “shorter while maintaining the depth and quality you’ve come to expect.”While the standard deep research…

Researchers from the Center for AI Safety (CAIS), MIT’s Media Lab, the Brazilian university UFABC, and the pandemic prevention non-profit SecureBio have found that leading artificial intelligence models can outperform experienced, PhD-level virologists in troubleshooting complex laboratory procedures. The findings, detailed in a new study introducing the Virology Capabilities Test (VCT), demonstrate AI’s proficiency in specialized scientific tasks but also highlight serious dual-use concerns, suggesting these tools could lower the barrier for creating dangerous biological agents. The VCT benchmark, consisting of 322 questions and detailed further in its research paper, was designed specifically to measure an AI’s ability to assist…
By Rebecca Steer, Partner, Charles Russell Speechlys. The UK Government’s recent consultation on copyright and artificial intelligence marks a pivotal moment in the law, technology, and creative industries. With over 11,500 responses received and no legislative action yet taken, the landscape remains uncertain, but the stakes are high. For AI developers, creators, and rights holders alike, the outcomes of this consultation could reshape not only the UK’s approach to intellectual property, but its place in the global digital economy. Training AI models: copyright infringement or fair use? At the heart of the debate is the question of whether training AI…
Volatility cuts both ways – while it creates opportunities, it also increases risk, making sharp declines just as likely as big gains. This unpredictability can shake out even the most experienced investors. At StockStory, our job is to help you avoid costly mistakes and stay on the right side of the trade.

Rolling One-Year Beta: 2.54 Founded in 2009 by enterprise software veteran Tom Seibel, C3.ai (NYSE:AI) provides software that makes it easy for organizations to add artificial intelligence technology to their…
The Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) framework has become a widely used approach for multimodal representation learning, particularly in image-text retrieval and clustering. However, its efficacy is constrained by three key limitations: (1) text token truncation, (2) isolated image-text encoding, and (3) deficient compositionality due to bag-of-words behavior. While recent Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated significant advances in generalized vision-language understanding, their potential for learning transferable multimodal representations remains underexplored. In this work, we present UniME (Universal Multimodal Embedding), a novel two-stage framework that leverages MLLMs to learn discriminative representations for diverse downstream tasks. In the first stage, we…
Emerging technology, when first being presented to the public-at-large, is bound to get people fearful and protective of the status quo. Such is the current case with AI and its practical application in multiple industries, particularly in the space of visual media arts, but rather than turn away, renowned filmmaker and technological innovator James Cameron is choosing to lean in. Last year, he joined the board of the generative AI company Stability AI and during a recent interview on the “Boz to the Future” podcast, he explained how the tech’s ability to shorten VFX workflow could truly be a game-changer…
