Tesla is well behind the pace needed to meet its earlier stated goal of producing at least 5,000 Optimus humanoid robots this year, The Information reports. Nearly eight months into 2025, and the number of bots Tesla has produced is only in the hundreds, according to two sources. That means Tesla will either need to step it up or push back the deadline.  The news comes after Tesla reported a 12% decline in overall revenue in the second quarter, due to falling EV sales, less cash from regulatory credits, and a decline in solar and energy storage sales. During the Q2…

The workplace is undergoing significant changes. Moving on from quiet quitting, employees are now making bold, dramatic exits in what’s being dubbed “revenge quitting.” This phenomenon sees talented individuals leaving organizations due to unfulfilled promises, toxic cultures, and a lack of recognition. And they’re not just slipping away quietly. They’re making sure their departure is noticed. What’s behind revenge quitting? According to experts at Hogan Assessments, the key lies in the overall miscommunication and lack of alignment between employees and their workplaces. Revenge quitting isn’t just about frustration over daily tasks. It’s a breakdown in communication and a failure to…

Image: LilithascendsWelcome to the world in 2025, folks. Capcom recently launched an art competition in Street Fighter 6, where it tasked its uber-talented community to come up with artwork for each character, with the winning entries eventually intended to be added to the ‘Here Comes a New Challenger’ screen. The final selections were recently uploaded to the fighter’s official website, with players encouraged to vote for an overall winner. There’s some amazing work here, and all would be worthy of victory. Well, except one. Fans noticed that Kimberley’s winning entry demonstrated artifacting and irregularities consistent with the use of AI.…

Despite the remarkable developments achieved by recent 3D generation works, scaling these methods to geographic extents, such as modeling thousands of square kilometers of Earth’s surface, remains an open challenge. We address this through a dual innovation in data infrastructure and model architecture. First, we introduce Aerial-Earth3D, the largest 3D aerial dataset to date, consisting of 50k curated scenes (each measuring 600m x 600m) captured across the U.S. mainland, comprising 45M multi-view Google Earth frames. Each scene provides pose-annotated multi-view images, depth maps, normals, semantic segmentation, and camera poses, with explicit quality control to ensure terrain diversity. Building on this…

Google is testing a new “Web Guide” feature that uses AI to organize the search results page.While complex Search algorithms organize traditional results page, Web Guide results will be sorted by a custom version of Gemini AI. The latter will make it easier to find information and “group web links in helpful ways,” Google says. Web Guide also uses AI Mode’s fan-out technique, meaning it will present results for related queries alongside your main query. Unlike AI Overviews and AI Mode, which take over the top half of the page, this seems intended to offer AI-curated answers while retaining Search’s familiar…

Stability AI lost its VP of audio Ed Newton-Rex in November 2023 after he disagreed with the company’s views on ‘fair use’ and training materials. Since then there has been a change of CEO, and the current boss Prem Akkaraju has been holding out some olive branches to the creative industries in an interview with the Financial Times. While he did come out with some of the familiar talking points of fair use defences – AI’s learn from art like humans do, etc – he also talked about a positive project within his company. “I think that a marketplace for people to opt into…

Alibaba has launched Qwen-MT on July 24, its latest machine translation model built on the Qwen3 foundation, offering faster and more affordable translation across 92 global languages. The lightweight model, Qwen-MT-Turbo, is now available via the Qwen API. Designed to serve high-concurrency environments, Qwen-MT claims to outperform other compact LLMs like GPT-4.1 mini and Gemini 2.5 Flash, while holding its own against larger models, including GPT-4.1 and Gemini 2.5 Pro. With reinforcement learning applied to billions of multilingual training tokens, the model is optimised for both linguistic fluency and cross-domain adaptability. In benchmark tests, Qwen-MT reportedly excelled in Chinese-English and…

In brief: There’s a strange situation occurring in China: despite Nvidia’s high-end AI chips being restricted from export to the country, businesses that repair these GPUs are experiencing a boom in demand. One company now handles up to 500 AI chip repairs every month. The US has restricted the export of Nvidia’s most powerful AI chips to China since 2022 over fears that they could be used for military purposes. Although these chips aren’t officially available in the Asian nation, a booming repair business has emerged. Reuters reports that one firm in the country, which began fixing gaming GPUs 15…

Tesla has warned customers about its incentive strategy for qualifying electric vehicles, as the days of both the $7,500 EV tax credit for new EVs and the $4,000 credit for used EVs are coming to a close. Both tax credits, which impact some of the vehicles in the Tesla lineup, are set to be eliminated at the end of Q3. The phase out of these consumer credits was always in the plans of the Trump Administration, but now we’re in the final quarter of their existence. As a result, EV companies are scrambling to see how they can reduce costs…

Anthropic has built an army of autonomous AI agents with a singular mission: to audit powerful models like Claude to improve safety.As these complex systems rapidly advance, the job of making sure they are safe and don’t harbour hidden dangers has become a herculean task. Anthropic believes it has found a solution, and it’s a classic case of fighting fire with fire.The idea is similar to a digital immune system, where AI agents act like antibodies to identify and neutralise problems before they cause real harm. It saves researchers from relying on overworked human teams playing an endless game of…
