Anthropic releases Claude 3.5 Sonnet, their most capable model yet. It outperforms GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5 Pro on multiple benchmarks while being faster and more cost-effective than Claude 3 Opus.
GPT-4o brings native multimodal capabilities to ChatGPT, enabling real-time voice conversations, image understanding, and code interpretation in a single model.
As AI agents move from experiments to production, AWS, Cloudflare, and others are redesigning cloud infrastructure for a future dominated by machine-generated internet traffic instead of human users.
Microsoft is launching a revamped version of Microsoft 365 Copilot, offering a cleaner design that the company claims loads twice as fast. As part of this update, Copilot will provide more reliable and structured responses that are easier to scan, according to Microsoft.
The redesign, which is rolling out across desktop and mobile devices, comes with a feature Microsoft calls "progressive disclosure." That means Copilot will present you with tools and controls based on your prompt, instead of...
Anthropic has closed a $65 billion Series H round at a $965 billion post-money valuation, marking what could be the AI startup's final private fundraise before a highly anticipated IPO.
Large exchanges are designing derivative products around AI tokens, which are increasingly being considered less a computational output and more a raw material input, like electricity or bandwidth.

Anthropic is releasing Claude Opus 4.8 on Thursday, and the company is touting the model's "honesty."
According to Anthropic, it trains "all [its] models to be honest - for instance, to avoid making claims that they can't support." But it notes that "a general problem with AI models is that they sometimes jump to conclusions, confidently presenting their work as making progress despite thin evidence."
The AI lab claims that early testers have found that Opus 4.8 "is more likely to flag uncert...
Next month's Tribeca Festival will include the premiere of an AI-generated film: Dreams of Violets. The 75-minute film is a fictional dramatization of the Iranian government's mass killing of protestors in January, with the people and images fully created by AI, as reported earlier by The Hollywood Reporter.
Dreams of Violets cost $2,000 to make and is "based on journalistic reports, photographs, and eyewitness accounts," according to a press release. It was created by Ash and Pooya Koosha, t...
New features coming to YouTube could make it better for listening to podcasts, rolling out to Premium subscribers starting today on Android and coming later to iOS.
A new "on-the-go mode" shifts YouTube into an audio-first layout, with larger, simplified playback buttons, a still image in place of the video, and a timeline showing video chapters. YouTube says you can turn on this new mode in a video's settings - a pop up will also appear if YouTube detects you're moving around while watching...
Elon Musk is publicly reframing xAI’s massive Anthropic compute deal as short-term and cancellable, despite SpaceX’s own S-1 filing describing payments through May 2029.
Sesame’s new iOS app brings its conversational AI agents to the public, offering more natural back-and-forth interactions designed to feel less like traditional chatbots and more like talking to a person.
POV: I judge your entire data science career by your variable names
Which one are you?
→ The one who named their dog Dog (x = 42)
→ The one with trust issues (final_FINAL_v2 = 301)
→ The one who actually likes their future self (user_age = 25)
Here's the rule:
“This technology, this work would be big enough to require dedicated silicon… you needed to start with a clean sheet of paper and you needed to do something fundamentally different.”

Apple's long-awaited Siri overhaul, expected to arrive in iOS 27, might look a lot like ChatGPT with a splash of Liquid Glass. Renders from Bloomberg offer a preview of iOS 27, including the new app and chat interface for Siri. The renders are "based on information viewed by Bloomberg and people with knowledge of [Apple's] plans," and could differ from Apple's final designs, which Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple will reveal at WWDC in June.
The images show a new pill-shaped Siri chat bubb...
Enterprise AI is entering a different phase now, one where enterprises are no longer evaluating whether AI is exciting. They are evaluating whether it is safe to deploy broadly.
CNN has filed a lawsuit against Perplexity, claiming that the startup's AI tools generate "verbatim" copies of its work, as reported earlier by CNN. The lawsuit, filed in a New York court on Thursday, also alleges that Perplexity provides users with information locked behind CNN's subscription.
Perplexity, which offers an AI "answer" engine along with the AI browser Comet, is accused of ignoring CNN's efforts "to recognize or block Perplexity's unidentified crawlers" from scraping its content...
