Alibaba is pushing AI in a direction that could matter more than another record-breaking benchmark: powerful models are becoming small enough to run closer to the user. For years, the AI race was largely about building bigger models and putting them behind enormous data centers. Alibaba’s latest Qwen releases suggest the competition is increasingly moving … Read more
Elon Musk just predicted money will die by 2036. But his own companies are betting $50 billion that he’s wrong—and that’s the real story. The Prediction That Broke the Internet On Thursday, Elon Musk sat down with The Economist‘s Zanny Minton Beddoes and dropped a series of bombshells that instantly dominated every tech headline: The … Read more
For years, the global AI race has been measured by who builds the most powerful models, the fastest chips, or the smartest AI assistants. That competition has now entered a new phase. Instead of competing only in technology, countries are beginning to compete over who writes the rules of AI. This week, China took one … Read more
For nearly eighteen months, Thinking Machines Lab became one of Silicon Valley’s most talked-about AI startups without releasing a foundation model. The company raised billions of dollars, hired elite AI researchers, partnered with Google Cloud, and attracted enormous attention simply because it was founded by former OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati. Now the wait … Read more
AI coding assistants are becoming an everyday tool for developers, helping write code, fix bugs, and automate repetitive work. But they also require access to local projects, making privacy one of the biggest concerns surrounding AI development tools. That concern took center stage this week after independent security researchers claimed that xAI’s Grok Build coding … Read more
Artificial intelligence has a memory problem. Once a large language model learns something during training, removing that knowledge is incredibly difficult. Developers have traditionally relied on safety guardrails, content filters, and reinforcement learning to stop models from producing dangerous information. But those approaches don’t actually erase what the AI has learned—they simply try to prevent … Read more
One decision by one scientist has sparked a global conversation. Omar Yaghi, one of the world’s most influential chemists and a 2025 Nobel Prize winner, has chosen to leave a distinguished career in the United States to join Tsinghua University in Beijing. At first glance, it may look like a routine academic appointment. It isn’t. … Read more
Most people saw the headline and assumed Meta was simply blocking competitors’ AI tools. That isn’t the real story. Meta’s reported restrictions on engineers using Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex reveal something much bigger happening inside the AI industry. Companies are no longer just competing to build better AI models—they’re trying to prevent those … Read more
For decades, writing code meant sitting in front of a screen, typing line after line, solving problems manually. That era may be ending faster than anyone expected. Inside Google, a dedicated “strike team” has been assembled—not to write code, but to build AI that can do it better than humans. And they’re not alone. This … Read more
One month into the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, Washington’s closest allies in the Indo-Pacific are raising urgent alarms: America’s focus on containing China is being hollowed out by the demands of a distant war. The latest diplomatic signal came on Saturday when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. … Read more
