AI Infrastructure Firm Gradient Bags $10 Million to Develop Protocols on Solana

Gradient Network closed a $10 million seed funding round to build what it calls a decentralized AI infrastructure stack, with venture firms Pantera Capital and Multicoin Capital leading the investment alongside HSG (formerly Sequoia Capital China). The Singapore-based startup plans to use the funds to develop two core protocols—Lattica and Parallax—that would allow artificial intelligence models to run across a distributed network of devices rather than in centralized data centers. The company s...

OpenAI Lands Pentagon Deal—Musk’s xAI Left Watching From Sidelines

ChatGPT developer OpenAI launched a new division on Monday to further integrate its artificial intelligence tools into U.S. government operations—and it’s starting with a $200 million pilot contract with the U.S. Department of Defense. Musk’s xAI was left behind, which is not surprising given the spectacular blowup the richest man in the world had with President Donald Trump earlier this month. The new federal initiative, dubbed OpenAI for Government, consolidates the company’s existing public-s...

How to Get Your Chatbot to Talk Dirty

The characters were finally alone. The moonlight filtered through the window. Hearts raced. And then… the chatbot decided it was the perfect moment to discuss mindful breathing techniques. "Like… NO. That’s not what we were building up to," one erotica writer complained on Reddit. “I'm trying to write steamy romance, not a self-help book on conscious breathing. Every time the story’s about to get physical, the AI derails into something like: ‘They paused to reflect on their emotional journey and...

Elon Musk’s xAI Seeks $4.3 Billion in Fresh Funding: Bloomberg

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, xAI, is seeking $4.3 billion in new equity financing, Bloomberg reports, signaling an aggressive expansion push for the company. The latest funding comes in addition to a separate $5 billion debt financing plan announced earlier this month. The fundraises underscore Musk’s renewed focus on building out his AI ventures after leaving the Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (aka DOGE) in May. Last year, xAI raised $6 billion...

China’s $9 AI Video Tool Kling 2.1 Adds Audio—Can It Beat Google’s $250 Veo 3?

Chinese short video platform Kuaishou has added an audio generation feature to Kling 2.1, its AI-powered video creation tool, enabling users to produce clips with synchronized sound effects such as footsteps, rainfall, and ambient noise. The feature, which launched quietly last week, is available in Kling's image-to-video mode, where users upload a still image and the platform animates it with both motion and audio generated by artificial intelligence. The timing pits Kling against Google's Veo...

'AI Godfather' Warns Superintelligent Machines Could Kill Off Humans With Biowarfare

Geoffrey Hinton, widely known as the “Godfather of AI,” issued his starkest warning yet in a new interview, cautioning that artificial intelligence poses not only a threat to jobs, but also an existential risk to humanity as a whole as the world races toward superintelligent machines. Speaking on the “Diary of a CEO” podcast, Hinton outlined a grim vision of the future, suggesting that AI could eventually decide that humanity itself is obsolete. “There's no way we're going to prevent it getting...

5 Prompts That Make Anthropic's Claude AI Better Than a Crypto Analyst, Broker or Doctor

When Anthropic dropped Opus 4 recently, the upgrade landed with little hype but plenty of substance: an AI that doesn't just answer questions, but digs into them and can be super useful as a true AI Assistant. In our tests, Claude outperformed even ChatGPT at investigative tasks using the web search function, without actually activating the deep research model. That’s why we picked it for a challenge: to see how far its reasoning goes when pushed with advanced prompts—tasks that leave most AIs f...

Big Brains, Tiny Models: Spain’s Multiverse Computing Bags $215M to Shrink AI for Smartphones

A Spanish AI startup has just convinced investors to hand over $215 million based on a bold claim: they can shrink large language models by 95% without compromising their performance. Multiverse Computing's innovation hinges on its CompactifAI technology, a compression method that borrows mathematical concepts from quantum physics to shrink AI models down to smartphone size. The San Sebastian company says that their compressed Llama-2 7B model runs 25% faster at inference while using 70% fewer p...

ChatGPT Is Eating the Internet: OpenAI Commands 80% of AI Market

The latest traffic data from Similarweb reveals an uncomfortable truth about the generative AI market: While the world debates which AI model is technically superior, ChatGPT has already won the user adoption war by a margin so vast it defies conventional competition metrics. With 5.5 billion visits in May 2025, ChatGPT commands roughly 80% of all generative AI traffic. To grasp this scale: ChatGPT gets more visits than Google's Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Perplexity, and Claude combined. Then doubl...

Forget Bitcoin: Publicly Traded Firm Building $500 Million Crypto Treasury With FET

As companies and governments consider adding Bitcoin to their treasuries, Austin, Texas-based Interactive Strength is taking a different route—committing up to $500 million to buy Fetch.ai (FET) tokens as part of a targeted cryptocurrency strategy. Rather than following the trend of holding Bitcoin as a hedge or brand signal, Interactive Strength is tying its crypto strategy directly to its AI integration roadmap, announcing the close of an initial $55 million investment by private equity firm A...

OpenAI CEO Says We've Already Passed the 'Superintelligence Event Horizon'

Humanity may already be entering the early stages of the singularity, the point at which AI surpasses human intelligence, according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. In a blog post published Tuesday, Altman said humanity has crossed a critical inflection point—an “event horizon”—marking the beginning of a new era of digital superintelligence. “We are past the event horizon; the takeoff has started,” he wrote. “Humanity is close to building digital superintelligence, and at least so far it’s much less we...

Self-Driving Waymo Cars Torched During ICE Protest in Los Angeles

Several Waymo autonomous taxis were vandalized and set on fire Sunday during a protest against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Los Angeles and the Trump administration’s deployment of National Guard into the region. What the vehicles were doing there—who sent them, and why—is thus far unknown. Viral videos posted to social media show demonstrators climbing atop the self-driving taxis, smashing windows, and spray-painting the sides of the taxis. At least five vehicles were s...

Apple Tones Down AI Hype While Showcasing Next iPhone, Mac Features

Apple wrapped its WWDC 2025 keynote on Monday with sweeping updates to its device operating systems and a striking new design. But for all the refinements across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro, one question lingered: What happened to Apple Intelligence? When Apple’s big push into AI was introduced at WWDC 2024, CEO Tim Cook described it as a “new chapter” for the company—one that combined Apple’s hardware with the growing momentum of generative AI. Apple Intelligence was meant to...

AI Is Coming for Your Job, Much Faster Than Anyone Thought

Every week brings another round of AI-driven layoffs. In May, Microsoft laid off over 6,000 software engineers as it leaned into AI for code generation and development. That same month, IBM cut thousands of HR jobs. In February, Meta laid off 3,600 employees—about 5% of its workforce—as it restructured around an AI-first strategy. These layoffs are not isolated incidents; they’re signs of a seismic shift in the global economy. Last week, filings for unemployment benefits hit its highest level si...

French Exoskeleton Company Wandercraft Pivots to Humanoid Robots

After capturing global attention at the 2024 Olympics, where its exoskeleton helped a paraplegic man walk, Paris-based Wandercraft is now shifting its focus from wearable robotics to fully autonomous humanoid robots. Wandercraft’s new humanoid robot, Calvin 40—so named because it was reportedly built in just 40 days—is already being tested on factory floors. As Wandercraft CEO Matthieu Masselin explained, the rapid construction of Calvin 40 was enabled by repurposing technology from the company’...

Istvan’s campaign comes as tech leaders warn that AI could eliminate up to 50% of entry-level jobs within the next five years. Istvan believes the threat is far broader, predicting that the rise of generative AI and humanoid robots imperils half of...
