In January 2025, OpenAI released Operator, the first large-scale agent powered by a computer-use model to control its own browser. The demo was impressive: an AI moving the mouse, clicking buttons, and performing actions like a human would. It was received as a major step toward general-purpose autonomy. But just eight months later, in August, OpenAI quietly discontinued

You can think of a Java stream as a pipeline through which data flows. Instead of manually writing loops and conditionals to process a list, you tell Java what should happen to each element, and the Java Stream API takes care of how it happens internally. A Java stream doesn’t hold data. Instead, it operates

OpenAI has introduced GPT-5.1, an update to its GPT-5 model, aiming to deliver faster responses, improved reasoning, and more flexible conversational controls as the company works to refine its ChatGPT experience for both consumer and enterprise users. The release includes new Instant and Thinking variants designed to offer more adaptive reasoning and a broader range

No matter what type of Android phone you carry or how you usually use it, one thing is a near-universal constant: You’re gonna spend a ton of time messing with messages. The messages may be from clients, colleagues, or your cousin Crissy from Cleveland (damn it, Crissy!). But regardless of who sends ’em or what

Meta researchers have unveiled a new reinforcement learning framework called SPICE (Self-Play in Corpus Environments) that enables large language models (LLMs) to improve their reasoning skills without human supervision. Developed with the National University of Singapore, SPICE trains a single model to act as both a Challenger, which generates complex, document-based problems, and a Reasoner, which solves

When you pick up an iPad Pro equipped with an M5 processor you’re not only picking up a tablet more powerful than most laptops, you’re also picking up a passport to tomorrow, with a tablet that’s quite capable of running on-device AI. Tomorrow’s tablet is here Why does this matter? Well, look at the speed with which

Western European organizations are ramping up investments in local and regional cloud providers because growing geopolitical tensions are raising concerns that access to global cloud services could be disrupted for political reasons. A survey of 214 CIOs and IT leaders in Western Europe, conducted by Gartner between May and June, found that more than 61% plan to increase their reliance

A year after its acquisition of Cameyo, Google is making the virtual application delivery platform generally available and integrating it with Chrome Enterprise.    Cameyo’s virtualization technology enables business to access “legacy” Windows applications —from ERP tools to AutoCAD or Excel — a major limitation for Chromebooks in the workplace. It differs from traditional virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) tools by delivering just the individual app a user requires, Google said; the app

Google has rolled out Private AI Compute, a new cloud-based processing system designed to bring the privacy of on-device AI to the cloud. The platform aims to give users faster, more capable AI experiences without compromising data security. It combines Google’s most advanced Gemini models with strict privacy safeguards, reflecting the company’s ongoing effort to

Baidu’s latest ERNIE model, a super-efficient multimodal AI, is beating GPT and Gemini on key benchmarks and targets enterprise data often ignored by text-focused models. For many businesses, valuable insights are locked in engineering schematics, factory-floor video feeds, medical scans, and logistics dashboards. Baidu’s new model, ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B-Thinking, is designed to fill this gap. What’s interesting
