What comes after the iPhone? Some suggest it could be AI-related. While early AI devices like Humane’s AI Pin and the R1 Rabbit were a complete failure, it seems the next batch might revolutionize the market. Besides that, if Apple’s former design chief is behind a new tech product, we should probably pay attention.According to The Information, OpenAI is considering buying the startup founded by Jony Ive and Sam Altman, which is said to be worth at least $500 million. The io Products company develops AI-powered devices, which the publication believes could include a phone without a screen and other…
Google started cramming AI features into search in 2024, but last month marked an escalation. With the release of AI Mode, Google previewed a future in which searching the web does not return a list of 10 blue links. Google says it’s getting positive feedback on AI Mode from users, so it’s forging ahead by adding multimodal functionality to its robotic results. AI Mode relies on a custom version of the Gemini large language model (LLM) to produce results. Google confirms that this model now supports multimodal input, which means you can now show images to AI Mode when conducting…

(Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for Garden State )Getty Images for Garden State Great soundtracks don’t just define a movie. The best soundtracks define an era and a scene. Of course, the ‘70s disco era will forever be associated with the timeless Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. In the ’80s the soundtrack was Purple Rain. The ‘90s grunge era was earmarked by the soundtrack to Singles. And…
[Submitted on 20 Jan 2024 (v1), last revised 4 Apr 2025 (this version, v3)] View a PDF of the paper titled Programming Distributed Collective Processes in the eXchange Calculus, by Giorgio Audrito and 4 other authors View PDF Abstract:Recent trends like the Internet of Things (IoT) suggest a vision of dense and multi-scale deployments of computing devices in nearly all kinds of environments. A prominent engineering challenge revolves around programming the collective adaptive behaviour of such computational ecosystems. This requires abstractions able to capture concepts like ensembles (dynamic groups of cooperating devices) and collective tasks (joint activities carried out by…
Amazon has released a new AI model that can take actions in a web browser on a user’s behalf. The new tool, called Nova Act, will compete with other agentic AI tools launched by the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic. Amazon continues to invest heavily in AI software. Amazon on Monday released a new AI model that can take actions in a web browser on a user’s behalf, a move that puts it in more direct competition with OpenAI, Anthropic and other companies that have developed the so-called “agents.” The new model, called Nova Act, is designed to help developers…
STANFORD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Apr 7, 2025–Today, the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) released its 2025 AI Index report which provides a comprehensive look at the global state of artificial intelligence. Now in its eighth edition, the AI Index tracks, distills, and visualizes data across technical performance, economic impact, education, policy, and responsible AI, offering an empirical foundation for understanding AI’s rapid evolution.kAm%9:D AC6DD C6=62D6 762EFC6D >F=E:>65:2] ‘:6H E96 7F== C6=62D6 96C6i k2 9C67lQ9EEADi^^HHH]3FD:?6DDH:C6]4@>^?6HD^9@>6^a_ad_c_fdbhg`a^6?^Q C6=lQ?@7@==@HQm9EEADi^^HHH]3FD:?6DDH:C6]4@>^?6HD^9@>6^a_ad_c_fdbhg`a^6?^k^2mk^Am kAmvC2A9:4i $E2?7@C5 x?DE:EFE6 7@C wF>2?\r6?E6C65 pCE:7:4:2= x?E6==:86?46 WwpxXk^AmkAm“px 😀 2 4:G:=:K2E:@?\492?8:?8 E649?@=@8J — ?@E 4@?7:?65 E@ 2?J @?6 D64E@C[ 3FE EC2?D7@C>:?8 6G6CJ :?5FDECJ :E E@F496D[” D2:5…
A Meta exec on Monday denied a rumor that the company tuned its new AI models to present well on specific benchmarks while concealing the models’ weaknesses. The executive, Ahmad Al-Dahle, VP of generative AI at Meta, said in a post on X that it’s “simply not true” that Meta trained its Llama 4 Maverick and Llama 4 Scout models on “test sets.” In AI benchmarks, test sets are collections of data used to evaluate the performance of a model after it’s been trained. Training on a test set could misleadingly inflate a model’s benchmark scores, making the model appear…
Stay up to date with everything that is happening in the wonderful world of AM via our LinkedIn community.A research team from MIT’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a new software tool that makes it easier to design and make cable-driven 3D printed objects. The tool, called Xstrings, can be used to produce a variety of products with embedded actuation, from robotic hands with gripping capabilities to interactive sculptures with animal-like movement.Cable-driven mechanisms are frequently used by engineers to create components that can move fluidly like a human or animal. This movement is generated by pulling…
A study from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) has revealed a rather disturbing trend in the United States. Based on the study, it appears that a growing number of people are willing to justify or even applaud killing people like Elon Musk or Donald Trump. A notable number of the study’s respondents also stated that they find it partially acceptable to destroy Tesla stores as a form of protest. The NCRI Study The NCRI’s study was initiated to determine people’s support for political violence. As per the organization, calls for political violence towards people like Trump and Musk are…
Investors with a lot of money to spend have taken a bullish stance on IBM IBM. And retail traders should know. We noticed this today when the trades showed up on publicly available options history that we track here at Benzinga. Whether these are institutions or just wealthy individuals, we don’t know. But when something this big happens with IBM, it often means somebody knows something is about to happen. So how do we know what these investors just did? Today, Benzinga’s options scanner spotted 47 uncommon options trades for IBM. This isn’t normal. The overall sentiment of these big-money…
