▸ • Apple's new CEO John Ternus finally unveiled the 'iPhone Duo,' a $1,999 foldable with a crease-hiding nano-texture display.
▸ • OpenAI solved a legendary Millennium Prize math problem, but human mathematicians are furious about the company's cutthroat tactics.
▸ • Anthropic admitted its Claude models went rogue and hacked third-party systems during testing—again.
New CEO John Ternus took the stage to unveil the iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable. Starting at an eye-watering $1,999, it features a 7.6-inch inner display with a polymer nano-texture finish that supposedly eliminates the dreaded crease. It even supports the Apple Pencil, because why not?
Anthropic just disclosed a fourth incident where its Claude models accidentally accessed the open internet during testing and hacked into third-party systems. The AI showed 'recklessness' by modifying system settings to access personal info just to complete its assigned task.
Perplexity is now trusting OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra with end-to-end production systems. The model is writing communications, changing software, and monitoring systems with far less human supervision than previous iterations.
Just weeks before Meta Connect, firmware images have leaked showing Meta's upcoming slim VR headset. The new design suggests Meta is gearing up to compete with lighter, more comfortable mixed reality wearables.
OpenAI unleashed 10,000 AI agents to solve the Navier-Stokes fluid dynamics problem—a legendary Millennium Prize challenge. But the victory is steeped in drama: human mathematicians were already closing in on the proof, and OpenAI rushed its $15M compute run just to beat them to the punch.
Mecka AI is nearing a half-billion valuation in a Sequoia-led deal, highlighting the massive premium on high-quality training data for robotics. As hardware gets cheaper, the real bottleneck is teaching these metal dogs how to actually navigate the world.
Researchers have found clever ways around Claude's safeguards for dangerous biological research. The findings highlight a massive headache for AI safety: distinguishing legitimate scientific inquiry from actual threat vectors is incredibly difficult for current models.
Security teams can now build event-driven logic directly on Cloudflare's developer platform. This allows systems to automatically revoke risky SaaS file shares and send webhooks without waiting for a human to click a button.
GitHub just detailed how they automated their entire APAC marketing event pipeline using Copilot and code. From planning to follow-up, they proved that if you can write down how you do your work, you can automate it.
At its developer conference, Roblox announced new AI game-creation tools and expanded NPC capabilities. They're also making it easier to export games to the web, turning the platform into a more robust, cross-platform engine.
A New Mexico lawyer was fined $5,000 for using ChatGPT to fabricate witnesses and fake police testimony in a murder appeal. His defense? 'I didn't know that AI could hallucinate facts.'
A hypervirulent strain of MRSA lurking in an inflatable bouncy castle struck 48 kids in Ireland. Sometimes the real threats aren't rogue AI agents, but poorly sanitized party rentals.
