Claude Code has set a very high bar for AI coding tools. It is fast when it needs to be, thoughtful when the project gets messy, and quite good at understanding what I actually want instead of blindly following every prompt. Still, I wanted to see whether the newer wave of coding tools could match…
Vinton Cerf will step down from his role as Google’s chief internet evangelist next week, marking the conclusion of one of the most influential careers in technology history. While speaking at the Open Frontier conference hosted by the Laude Institute, Cerf was recognized by Dave Patterson, the UC Berkeley professor best known for co-developing RISC…
Over the brief, long history of video-generation models, every new release is accompanied by the hype that this one, finally, will be the breakthrough that becomes a standard. There’s no definitive reason yet to think that will be the case for OpenArt‘s “Director,” a tool from a Redwood City company led by a pair of…
Life sciences has entered an era of computational scale, and for more than a decade, NVIDIA has built the full GPU-accelerated computing stack — spanning hardware, frameworks, libraries, models, microservices and domain-specific tools — to help researchers run more sophisticated workflows and iterate faster. This week, Anthropic announced Claude Science, an AI workbench for science…
Limitations: Omni offers 10-second video generations currently, with longer durations coming soon. Uploading audio references and scene extension is not yet supported in the Gemini API for this model. Video references up to 3 seconds in duration are accepted by the API schema but are not correctly processed by the model at this time. Character…
There are plenty of AI image-generation models these days, but the ones capable of quality outputs tend to be slow and expensive. Google DeepMind says its new image model, known as Nano Banana 2 Lite, offers the best balance of quality and speed. It’s available today across the Google ecosystem, creating images in a fraction…
My 3-year-old Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra still works remarkably well. Despite its age, the Galaxy can handle my everyday tasks with ease. The display still looks great, and Samsung’s regular software updates ensure I have access to most of the latest and greatest features. I really have no reason to upgrade. But there’s one major…
I’ve never really cared that AI can draft my emails, optimize my schedule, write a quick script for me, churn out a slide deck, and so on. Yes, I’ve used it for all of these tasks before, and I’ll definitely continue to do so. However, none of it has ever made AI feel like it…
As shipping agentic capabilities becomes table stakes among foundation model companies, Anthropic is releasing Claude Sonnet 5, a more powerful and agentic version of the lab’s midsize model. “It can make plans, use tools like browsers and terminals, and run autonomously at a level that, just a few months ago, required larger and more expensive…
