Moonshot’s next-generation Kimi model, Kimi 3 (often referred to as Kimi K3), is reportedly being positioned as a major step toward narrowing the performance gap between China’s leading open model efforts and the most capable frontier systems from the West.…
Artificial intelligence is increasingly sold as a clean, weightless technology: code in the cloud, intelligence on demand, value delivered without the mess of factories or the visible footprint of heavy industry. But a growing chorus of readers and researchers is…
Apple Intelligence has reportedly cleared the regulatory and technical hurdles needed to launch in China, and the approval comes with a notable twist: Apple is leaning on major local AI ecosystems—specifically Alibaba and Baidu—to make the rollout work at scale.…
1Password has taken another step toward making AI assistants genuinely useful for everyday life—not just by generating text, but by completing real tasks that require access to the services people already use. In a new browser integration for Claude, users…
The European Union has ordered Google to loosen its grip on two of the most influential gateways in consumer technology: Android and Google Search. In two separate decisions issued Thursday, EU regulators concluded that Google must provide rival AI assistants…
Moonshot, a Chinese artificial intelligence start-up, is preparing to launch Kimi K3, a new large language model that the company and its backers expect will outperform Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.8 on key measures of frontier capability. If the reported results…
In the latest round of AI competition, the story is shifting away from the race to build ever-larger general-purpose models and toward a more tactical approach: train or fine-tune models for specific industries, workflows, and decision patterns—then deliver them at…
IACP’s Technology Conference in Fort Worth was supposed to be a showcase of innovation. Instead, it felt like a sales floor for something more consequential: the quiet replacement of human judgment with automated steps that sit inside the legal process—steps…
IBM’s profit warning landed with the particular kind of force that only earnings can deliver: not because it changed the long-term story of technology, but because it challenged the near-term timetable that markets had quietly assumed. In the weeks leading…
In a world where artificial intelligence is increasingly discussed in terms of capability, risk, and regulation, one influential game designer is asking a different question: what if the most useful way to understand AI isn’t through grand predictions, but through…
Cambridge University has set its sights on one of the most stubborn bottlenecks in modern engineering: the time it takes to move from a promising idea to a design that can survive real-world conditions. In a bid to strengthen UK…
Applied Computing is betting that the next wave of industrial AI won’t be built around isolated “point solutions,” but around something closer to a whole-plant brain—one that can learn from the sprawling, noisy reality of oil and gas and petrochemical…
