    OpenAI Plans to Release ‘Open-Weight’ Model with Reasoning Capabilities

    AI enthusiasts, your prayers have been heard. OpenAI is jumping back into the open tech AI arena with plans to release a powerful open-weight language model with reasoning abilities in the coming months, CEO Sam Altman said on Monday. "We are planning to release our first open-weight language model since GPT-2," Altman wrote in a post on X. "We've been thinking about this for a long time, but other priorities took precedence. Now it feels important to do." TL;DR: we are excited to release a pow...

  • The 'Ghibligeddon': People Are 'Melting' OpenAI's GPUs With Studio Ghibli Memes

    OpenAI's GPUs are buckling under unprecedented demand for its new image generation feature, forcing the company to implement emergency limits as users create millions of anime-inspired illustrations. The company’s computing infrastructure has been pushed to the breaking point just days after rolling out the capability in its latest GPT-4o model. The image generator, which transforms text prompts or existing photos into detailed artwork, has sparked particular enthusiasm for Studio Ghibli-style t...

    FDIC Clears Path for Bank Crypto Activities Without Prior Approval

    Banks can engage in cryptocurrency and other legally permitted activities without seeking prior regulatory approval, so long as they manage risks appropriately, The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced Friday. The policy change rescinds a 2022 requirement that mandated FDIC-supervised institutions notify the agency before engaging in crypto-related activities. Under the new guidance, banks can offer services involving digital assets without the agency's advance permission. "With today...

    Bitcoin Reserve ‘Crucial’ for Brazil's Prosperity: Lula Administration

    A high-ranking official in Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's administration declared Tuesday that a potential strategic Bitcoin reserve would be "determinant for our prosperity" and "in the (country’s) public interest." Pedro Giocondo Guerra, chief of staff to Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, made the remarks while officially representing the federal government at a congressional ceremony. Debating the establishment of a sovereign bitcoin reserve rigorously is a matter of public int...

    Review: OpenAI’s New Image Generator Is Great Again

    OpenAI has just overtaken the AI image generation race once more. The tech giant's integration of native image generation directly into ChatGPT via its GPT-4o model is not an incremental change but a major overhaul of the model, vaulting it to the front of the class. Within hours of its release yesterday, the model quickly went viral, with anime-style creations flooding social platforms and showcasing technical capabilities that leave DALL-E 3 in the dust. ChatGPT when another Studio Ghibli req...

  • OpenAI Launches GPT-4o's New Image Generation Into ChatGPT, Showing 'Unbelievably Better' Results

    OpenAI is integrating image generation capabilities directly into ChatGPT, allowing users to create images without leaving the chat interface. The company announced the feature Tuesday as part of its broader push to make AI tools more useful and accessible across different media, staying relevant in the AI art scene. The feature is an evolution of DALL·E 3, OpenAI’s image generator, which launched in September 2023 but fell out of favor among AI enthusiasts who preferred the next generation of m...

  • New Reve Image Generator Beats AI Art Heavyweights MidJourney and Flux at a Penny Per Image

    A little-known AI image generator called Reve Image 1.0 is trying to make a name in the text-to-image space, potentially outperforming established tools like Midjourney, Flux, and Ideogram. The Reve Image 1.0 model, codenamed "Halfmoon," operates on a credit-based system. Users receive 100 free credits to test the service after signing up, with additional credits available at $5 for 500 generations—pretty cheap when compared to options like MidJourney or Ideogram, which start at $8 per month and...

    Does Vibe Coding Really Work? We Built a Game With Claude—Here's How It Turned Out

    There’s a new trend among AI enthusiasts, and it’s not chatbots or agents. We’re talking about "vibe coding"—a session in which a person simply talks to an AI, gives an idea of something they want to build, and starts iterating with the model, asking it to fix and improve things along the way. It's supposedly as easy as talking to a friend, and simple enough for even laymen with extremely modest technical sophistication to do. I wrote about it here. But to get beyond the hype, I wanted to see if...

    Vibe Coding: How Devs and Laymen Alike Are Using AI to Create Apps and Games

    Once upon a time, God said, "Let there be light"—and there was light. Now you can say, "Let there be this app," and the app will appear right before your eyes, all thanks to the magic of AI. This is what vibe coding promises. "I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy-paste stuff, and it mostly works," Andrej Karpathy—a co-founder of OpenAI and former AI director at Tesla— tweeted last month, describing his new programming approach on social media. Instead of meticulously writing code, he...

    Experimental Alzheimer's Drug Shows Promise in Delaying Symptoms

    An experimental drug could potentially delay the onset of Alzheimer's symptoms in people genetically destined to develop the disease at a young age, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine reported this week. The findings, published in The Lancet Neurology, hint that gantenerumab—an antibody that targets beta-amyloid protein plaques in the brain—might reduce the risk of cognitive decline by up to 50% in patients who received the treatment the longest. "Everyone in this study was...

    Google's New AI Lets You Edit Photos With Just Words—And It’s Insanely Cool

    Google quietly rolled out a powerful new version of Gemini last week that lets anyone edit photos using plain English commands instead of technical skills. The experimental version of Gemini 2.0 Flash with native image generation capabilities is now available to all users after being limited to testers only since last year. Unlike most current AI image tools, this isn't just about generating new images from scratch. Google has created a system that understands existing photos well enough to modi...

    Elon Musk’s Grok AI Is Turning Against Him, Telling X Users He Spreads Misinformation

    Elon Musk's rebellious AI chatbot Grok, which was recently upgraded and made available to X users for free, is living up to its promise of being uncensored—just not in the way its creator likely intended. Grok3, which had been characterized by Musk as a “maximally truth-seeking AI,” basically thinks its progenitor is a liar and often yields answers that directly contradict Musk's own statements and political positions, creating a bizarre scenario where the billionaire's own technology appears to...

    Need Help With Your March Madness Bracket? We Assembled an AI Dream Team

    Last year, I handed the impossible task of predicting March Madness to ChatGPT. The result? Sadly, my bracket was as busted as everyone else's, but at least I believed my picks had more substance than luck. A lot has changed in 365 days, and this time around, I've assembled the AI equivalent of the Dream Team: Google's Gemini Researcher, OpenAI's GPT-4.5 Research Agent, xAI's Grok-3 with Reasoning and Research, Baidu's freshly released ERNIE X1—which is supposed to beat DeepSeek R1 and all of Op...

    ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok-3: Which AI Has The Best Research Agent?

    If last year was defined by groundbreaking AI models with impressive conversational abilities, many think 2025 may be the year of AI agents—autonomous systems designed to perform specific tasks with minimal human guidance. These specialized tools go beyond simple chat interfaces, autonomously executing different tasks that go beyond mere content generation. The research agent hype gained momentum when You.com introduced its pioneering research tool in late 2024. Google quickly responded with Gem...

    Which AI Actually Is the Best at ‘Being Human?’

    Not all AIs are created equal. Some might do art the best, some are skilled at coding, and others have the ability to predict protein structures accurately. But when you're looking for something more fundamental—just “someone” to talk to—the best AI companions may not be the ones that know it all, but the ones that have that je ne sais quoi that make you feel OK just by talking, similar to how your best friend might not be a genius but somehow always knows exactly what to say. AI companions are...

    When AI Models Are Pressured to 'Behave' They Scheme in Private, Just like Us: OpenAI

    When researchers try to prevent AI systems from "thinking bad thoughts," the systems don't actually improve their behavior. Instead, they learn to conceal their true intentions while continuing to pursue problematic actions, according to new research from OpenAI. The phenomenon, which researchers dub "obfuscated reward hacking," offers valuable insight in the training process and shows why it is so important to invest in techniques that ensure advanced AI systems remain transparent and aligned w...

    On Tuesday, Google released Gemma 3, an open-source AI model based on Gemini 2.0 that packs surprising muscle for its size.

    China's Manus AI Challenges OpenAI's $200 Agent—If You Can Get an Invite

    A new AI agent platform from China called Manus is rapidly becoming a darling among tech enthusiasts and, if the hype is to be believed, could be a credible rival to OpenAI's Deep Research and Operator agents. Of course, whether the hype is true remains to be seen since access to the platform remains closely held and is available by invite only with some people supposedly paying astronomical sums of money to get an invitation. And even among those who have apparently accessed the model, there’s...

    How Freepik Transformed From a Stock Image Platform Into a Generative AI Powerhouse

It was the result of a company willing to rethink its purpose and move beyond static images to something much bigger: a fully AI-powered creative ecosystem.
