A June 7 head-to-head evaluation by RuntimeWire found DeepSeek V4 Pro outperforming OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 Pro on a precision benchmark, scoring 38.0 to 33.0 across four fresh text-generation tasks (RuntimeWire). The result echoes a pattern that has defined the Chinese AI lab’s trajectory since its founding: DeepSeek’s models rarely lead on every aggregate benchmark, but they […]

Since the start of President Donald Trump’s second administration, a quiet but accelerating migration has been underway across Europe. Governments, cities, and public institutions are systematically replacing American software, cloud infrastructure, and hardware with domestic and open-source alternatives. It is not a single policy or protest vote. It is a growing recognition across the continent […]

The Tokenpocalypse: AI’s hidden cost problem hits home In April, Uber’s CTO revealed something startling: the company had blown through its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months. The culprit wasn’t a single expensive model subscription. It was Claude Code, Anthropic’s coding assistant, spreading across roughly 5,000 engineers […]

I spent a year testing adaptive chargers. Here’s what actually matters Modern smartphone chargers are engineering marvels that most of us never think about. Plug one in, and within milliseconds the charger and device negotiate the optimal voltage and current combination, then continuously monitor temperature and power flow to […]

The first wave of AI influencers was easy to identify. Lil Miquela had her blunt fringe and freckles, Imma her bubblegum pink bob, Shudu Gram her flawless but clearly synthetic complexion. They were obviously digital productions, backed by studios, announced with fanfare, coordinated with brand deals. That era is […]

NVIDIA published a comprehensive tutorial this week for garak, its open-source LLM vulnerability scanner, walking security teams through building a complete defensive red-teaming workflow from scratch. The tutorial, published by MarkTechPost, covers everything from basic setup to creating custom probes and detectors. What garak does Garak is an open-source […]

A new research paper quantifies a counterintuitive reality about AI software engineers: the most expensive part of having an agent write code is not the writing, but the reviewing. The study, titled “Tokenomics: Quantifying Where Tokens Are Used in Agentic Software Engineering,” finds that code review consumes nearly 60% […]

The Food and Drug Administration this week closed its investigation into a devastating infant botulism outbreak linked to contaminated formula, but critics say the agency still has no answers on how the contamination happened or how to prevent a repeat. Three companies at the center of the crisis are […]

At Computex 2026 in Taipei, the conversation shifted decisively from AI-powered PCs to something more ambitious: the agentic PC. Nvidia, Microsoft, and a wave of hardware partners used the show to pitch a new class of machine designed not just to run AI applications, but to host autonomous AI […]

Meta’s standalone AI app had a “For You” section that populated a feed of clickbait-style stories with AI-generated topics, images, and text. The company said it would pull the feature after The Verge asked questions about it, according to a report published Saturday. What the feed looked like The […]
