An internal research study at Meta found that parental supervision may not help teens regulate their social media, and teens with trauma are more inclined to overuse social media.
As the AI hardware space heats up, the iPhone maker has multiple smart products in development.
Thrive Capital just raised $10 billion for its new fund-- nearly double the size of its last fund.
When European tech observers talk about AI ambition, the narrative often splits neatly in two: models and infrastructure. On one side are the clever bits of code that can write, reason, and generate text or images. On the other is the gritty reality of making those bits run reliably, at scale, and in production. Today, […]This story continues at The Next Web
The new project, called Material Scale, will initially focus on climate tech startups in the apparel industry.
Anthropic on Tuesday released Claude Sonnet 4.6, a model that amounts to a seismic repricing event for the AI industry. It delivers near-flagship intelligence at mid-tier cost, and it lands squarely in the middle of an unprecedented corporate rush to deploy AI agents and automated coding tools.The model is a full upgrade across coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, agent planning, knowledge work, and design. It features a 1M token context window in beta. It is now the default model in cl
Anthropic has released a new version of its mid-size Sonnet model, keeping pace with the company's four-month update cycle.
The chatbot era may have just received its obituary. Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw — the open-source AI agent that took the developer world by storm over the past month, raising concerns among enterprise security teams — announced over the weekend that he is joining OpenAI to "work on bringing agents to everyone." The OpenClaw project itself will transition to an independent foundation, though OpenAI is already sponsoring it and may have influence over its direction.The mo
Mistral AI has agreed to buy Koyeb, a Paris-based startup that simplifies AI app deployment at scale and manages the infrastructure behind it.
Mesh aims to mass-produce optical transceivers for AI data centers.
When we talk about the cost of AI infrastructure, the focus is usually on Nvidia and GPUs -- but memory is an increasingly important part of the picture.
EU lawmakers found their government-issued devices were blocked from using the baked-in AI tools, amid fears that sensitive information could turn up on the U.S. servers of AI companies.
The WordPress AI assistant doesn't need precisely tailored prompts, either.
Elon Musk’s social-media platform X faces a European Union privacy investigation after its Grok AI chatbot started spitting ...
The European Union’s data privacy watchdog has launched an investigation into Elon Musk’s X over sexualised images generated by the social media site’s AI chatbot, Grok.
A Las Vegas mural honoring Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, funded by Elon Musk and tech CEOs, divides community over memorial versus propaganda.
Venture capital has long avoided ‘hard’ sectors such as government, defence, energy, manufacturing, and hardware, viewing them as uninvestable because startups have limited scope to challenge incumbents. Instead, investors have prioritised fast-moving and lightly regulated software markets with lower barriers to entry. End users in these hard industries have paid the price, as a lack […]This story continues at The Next Web
As AI-powered coding tools flood the market, a critical weakness has emerged: by default, as with most LLM chat sessions, they are temporary — as soon as you close a session and start a new one, the tool forgets everything you were just working on. Developers have worked around this by having coding tools and agents save their state to markdown and text files, but this solution is hacky at best. Qodo, the AI code review startup, believes it has a solution with the launch of what it calls the ind
Building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems for AI agents often involves using multiple layers and technologies for structured data, vectors and graph information. In recent months it has also become increasingly clear that agentic AI systems need memory, sometimes referred to as contextual memory, to operate effectively.The complexity and synchronization of having different data layers to enable context can lead to performance and accuracy issues. It's a challenge that SurrealDB
The European Parliament has taken a rare and telling step: it has disabled built-in artificial intelligence features on work devices used by lawmakers and staff, citing unresolved concerns about data security, privacy, and the opaque nature of cloud-based AI processing. The decision, communicated to Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) in an internal memo this […]This story continues at The Next Web
