Large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4o and Google’s Gemma may appear confident, but new research suggests their reasoning can break down under pressure, raising concerns for enterprise applications that rely on multi-turn AI interactions. A study by researchers at...
The next browser revolution — this time with an AI interface — is just around the corner. At least, that’s how OpenAI, The Browser Company, and Perplexity see it. These companies are all developing AI browsers designed to do an even better job of presenting...

For a while now, OpenAI has been rumored to be working to develop its own web browser, with the aim of challenging Google’s dominance in the segment. And that browser will apparently be named “Aura”, according to Bleeping Computer. The browser name was referenced in...
Engineers in China are maintaining US Department of Defense computer systems under a contract with Microsoft, a news report said Tuesday. The arrangement relies on US staff known as “digital escorts” to supervise the Chinese workers, but the escorts often lack the skills ...
Several major US companies announced sweeping investments in AI and energy infrastructure this week, aligning with President Donald Trump’s push to strengthen the country’s dominance in the rapidly expanding tech sector. Google signed a $3 billion deal with Brookfield...

Fair warning: The tip you’re about to ingest has nothing to do with any of the fancy-schmancy, accuracy-challenged AI ballyhoo that dominates most tech news coverage at the moment. Nope — it’s just a good old-fashioned utilitarian upgrade for your favorite Android...
AI builders are starving for agentic integrated development environments (IDEs), which help developers code more efficiently and thus, ideally, speed up production. And nowhere has this been more apparent than in the tug-of-war over Windsurf. In the latest development, AI...
