Why “cheap” open models can cost more than premium ones and how to keep an eye on your compute costs Photo by Tuyen Vo on Unsplash We all love a free tool, especially when it promises enterprise-level AI at no cost. Open-source language models have exploded lately, giving developers and businesses new ways to tap […]

Photo by Anastassia Anufrieva on Unsplash It took just a few days—and thousands of user complaints—for OpenAI to undo one of its biggest decisions yet. Last week, when OpenAI launched GPT-5 on August 7, the company made a bold move: it pulled every previous model from ChatGPT. No more GPT-4o. No more o3. No warning.

Not decades later—literally, the next day. This isn’t about sci-fi fantasy or distant futures. The idea of “superintelligence” (when AI becomes drastically smarter than any human) is being taken

I’m whizzing past intersections and busy crosswalks, cushioned by a cocoon of AI-powered precision, 29 cameras, six radar units, and five lidar sensors. All of that

On Wednesday, Babuschkin quietly announced via a heartfelt post on X that he’s stepping away from xAI, the artificial intelligence company he co-founded with Elon Musk back in 2023. After spending

It all sounds like the first act of a sci-fi thriller where machines rise up against their makers. But let’s take a breath. What actually happened

It’s a step in the right direction, but let’s be honest—it’s a small step, especially when compared to what OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude have already been doing for a while. Let’s break it down. What’s

Photo by Mauro Sbicego on Unsplash There’s something a little unsettling happening in cybersecurity. The walls we’ve always counted on—firewalls, VPNs, encryption—are still standing tall. But now, the threats? They’re already inside. And sometimes, they arrive disguised as something we built ourselves. Not just some hacker in a hoodie. Not a rogue script from a

Photo by Keefikus on Unsplash What happens when one of the minds behind OpenAI sets his sights on the human brain? We might be about to find out. Sam Altman, the CEO behind OpenAI and one of the leading voices in artificial intelligence, is reportedly helping launch a new startup called Merge Labs. According to
