OpenAI's new family of models will continue to power Microsoft's suite of workplace and productivity apps.

The new exchange-traded funds exclude companies that are founded, controlled, or led by Elon Musk. That means no SpaceX or Tesla.

OpenAI's No. 2 executive, Fidji Simo, is stepping down from her full-time role after her medical leave proved longer than expected — a leadership vacuum that comes at a tricky time as the company eyes a possible IPO and races to catch Anthropic in the enterprise market.

OpenAI's latest family of models promises improvements across a range of areas, including cybersecurity.

Lyzr, a startup that builds AI agents for enterprises, used its own AI agent to raise a $100 million round — proof, evidently, that the product actually works.

OpenAI is sunsetting its AI-powered browser after less than a year. But it's moving some agentic browsing features to its desktop app and a Chrome extension.

Should Anthropic trust Elon Musk to host its models? With about $40 billion in revenue at stake, Musk insists that the company can.

The AI ROI debate has returned and the numbers are even bigger, as are, perhaps, the consequences.

Meta's pitch to users is Spark's ability to handle large agentic workloads, fix bugs, and help with large code migrations — the kind of automation that enterprises are increasingly turning to AI companies to provide.

In this week’s episode of Build Mode, Isabelle Johannessen talks with Precursor Ventures' Charles Hudson about the headwinds facing early-stage founders today and the most common mistakes founders should avoid in order to get funded.

News publishers say OpenAI hid tools and datasets that could identify copyrighted journalism in ChatGPT outputs, escalating their lawsuit with a new motion for sanctions.

Slate has an answer for owners who have always want to drive a truck with bright crayon colors.

The video call highlights the murky relationship between professional athletes and gambling apps.

A new $20 billion valuation would be a giant step up from the $10 billion valuation it reached in October.

While Google prohibits misleading and deceptive ads, an ad can still leverage AI to create some type of synthetic or digitally altered content. Until now, that's something Google only required election ads to disclose.

A solar and home energy storage company is expanding into AI data centers, but not by building one - instead, it's offering to pay its customers to put its compute units in their homes. Sunrun is launching a pilot program for a new "distributed AI compute" program that will "place numerous compute nodes in homes equipped with Sunrun solar and battery storage systems." Customers will be "compensated" for participating in the pilot program. Sunrun plans to sell the distributed compute power from the nodes to "enterprise compute buyers," like AI companies. It's a new approach to finding resources and space

The modular blue-tinted glasses shell included with the A01 Plus won’t turn your content blue. | Photo: Cameron Faulkner / The Verge I love it when a company challenges itself to make a cheaper version of a beloved product. Xreal's $299 A01 Plus is a stripped-down version of its $449 1S that's light on features but with just enough of the 1S' best qualities. These AR glasses are comfortable, they look good, and the screens are surprisingly bright and contrast-rich for the price. The new glasses are super lightweight at 62 grams - over 20 grams lighter than the 1S.

This week should have been a celebration for Doom developer id Software. The studio just launched Revelations , a meaty expansion for Doom: The Dark Ages that adds a powerful new weapon and more demonic levels to blast through. Even though I hadn't picked up The Dark Ages for more than a year, it only took moments before I fell right back into the familiar loop from id's modern Doom games. Each plays differently, but they all have a similar foundation built around fast-paced shooter action that makes them feel iconically Doom - and unlike pretty much anything else. But

Last month, Polestar shocked the auto industry when it announced that it was pulling out of the US . The EV company's decision came after the federal government denied its authorization to continue selling its cars despite a rule banning vehicles with Chinese-made connected vehicle software . Polestar, which is headquartered in Sweden but majority owned by China's Geely, said it would stop selling its vehicles in the US starting with the 2027 model year. For the thousands of Polestar owners and dozens of dealers in the US, it was a moment of disappointment and uncertainty. What would happen with

Meta is in breach of the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), a preliminary investigation has found, over the "addictive" design of Instagram and Facebook. It's likely to be forced to redesign both apps and could face a fine of up to $12 billion. The European Commission said Meta "did not adequately assess the risks of its addictive design on the physical and mental wellbeing of users, including minors and vulnerable adults." It singled out features like personalized recommendations, autoplay, and infinite scroll, arguing that they "fuel the user's urge to keep scrolling and shift the brain into 'autopilot mode.'" The
