Best Robot Lawn Mowers: After Testing Mowers for Weeks I Discovered the 4 Worth Buying

Robot lawn mowers of yore started off using a boundary wire to determine where it could and could not go, and they were problematic. The boundary wire had to make a complete, unbroken circle. And if anything happened to the wire, you had problems. These days, robot mowers work via GPS, but it's GPS with a little bit extra in an RTK beacon. Scott Porteous, head of robotics for Husqvarna broke it down for me. Adam Doud/CNET GPS navigation GPS today is accurate down to a few feet. That's fine wh

Huawei announces new AI infrastructure as Nvidia gets locked out of China

In Brief Tech giant Huawei unveiled new AI infrastructure meant to help boost compute power and allow the company to better compete with rival chipmaker Nvidia. At a keynote at its Huawei Connect conference on Thursday, Shenzhen, China-based Huawei announced new SuperPoD Interconnect technology that can link up to 15,000 graphics cards, including Huawei’s Ascend AI chips, together to increase compute power. This tech seems to be a competitor for Nvidia’s NVLink infrastructure, which facilitat

How AI startups are fueling Google’s booming cloud business

Google Cloud announced Thursday it has added fast-rising AI coding startups Lovable and Windsurf to its roster of customers. Both companies have chosen Google Cloud as their primary cloud computing provider, the latest sign of Google’s rising prominence against larger rivals AWS and Microsoft Azure. The deals also highlight Google’s efforts to make its cloud business more central to the company’s future. Today, Google Cloud is overshadowed by larger competitors like AWS and Microsoft, as well

What Nvidia's stunning $5 billion Intel bet means for enterprise AI and next-gen laptops

This map is not upside down

Simmon’s map includes countries, major lakes, oceans, gulfs, seas, roads, and cities. It also features inset maps depicting Earth’s biosphere, global land cover, and bathymetry. All of these are familiar to most map readers. Yet the map may seem disorienting to many. Simmon’s map is geographically correct, yet purposely—and literally—turns convention on its head. What was once familiar becomes alien, challenging readers to look at Earth anew. It also encourages us to think more deeply about such

We Finally Know How Much It Cost to Train China’s Astonishing DeepSeek Model

Remember when DeepSeek briefly shook up the entire artificial intelligence industry by launching its large language model, R1, that was trained for a fraction of the money that OpenAI and other big players were pouring into their models? Thanks to a new paper published by the DeepSeek AI team in the journal Nature, we finally know what it took to train DeepSeek 1: $294,000 and 512 Nvidia H800 chips. The reason it was able to spend less, it seems, is because of the team’s use of trial-and-error-b

Nvidia, Intel to co-develop “multiple generations” of chips as part of $5 billion deal

In a major collaboration that would have been hard to imagine just a few years ago, Nvidia announced today that it was buying a total of $5 billion in Intel stock, giving Intel's competitor ownership of roughly 4 percent of the company. In addition to the investment, the two companies said that they would be co-developing "multiple generations of custom data center and PC products."

As Android developer verification gets ready to go, here’s a new reason to be worried

Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Google is putting together its framework for Android developer verification, connecting dev names to even sideloaded apps. Recent additions to the Android SDK offer a little insight into how the system may ultimately operate. One variable suggests that users may not be able to sideload even verified apps without an active network connection. Android’s approach to software openness is changing in some fundamental ways right now, and the shift has not been

China Turns Legacy Chips Into a Trade Weapon

While the Trump administration was trying to make a TikTok deal happen during a meeting with China last weekend, Beijing was busy adding its own bargaining chips to the table. Actual chips, in fact—semiconductors. In the past week, China has unveiled a series of regulatory actions targeting American chipmakers. The most significant is an anti-dumping investigation into American legacy chips that power everything from cars and refrigerators to washing machines and data centers. Unlike cutting-ed

Nvidia Appeals to Trump With a $5 Billion Intel Stake

Nvidia became one of competitor Intel’s largest shareholders on Thursday with a $5 billion stake. The two companies will collaborate to jointly develop PC chips and data centers. Once the dominant name in chips, Intel had been in a steady decline in recent years as it failed to keep up with peers like Nvidia in the AI race. The company started its official turnaround strategy last year by ousting its previous CEO Pat Gelsinger, who was eventually replaced by Lip Bu-Tan a few months later. Las

Luma AI's New Ray3 Video Generator Can 'Think' Before Creating

Reasoning models are not uncommon in the world of AI. Many companies have them, including OpenAI's GPT-o3 and Google's Gemini 2.5. But AI image and video company Luma AI just dropped its first AI reasoning video model, named Ray3, and it's available now. A reasoning model is a kind of AI model that uses more computing time to process requests and can go back and check its answers. Typically, reasoning models give you better responses, whether that's more detail or a lower rate of errors. For R

iPadOS 26 Review: iPads Will Never Be the Touchscreen Mac You Wanted

So, so many fans have begged Apple to finally make a MacBook convertible. Hell, most would be satisfied if Apple put a touchscreen on a Mac. Now TF International Securities’s premier Apple supply chain analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, claims the long-awaited MacBook Pro with a rumored rich and vibrant OLED display—which could arrive in 2026—might be reborn as the first touchscreen Mac. So, what do we make of the new iPadOS 26 now that it proposes to let you operate your iPad much like a MacBook? iPadOS 2

NVIDIA throws Intel a $5 billion lifeline to build PC and data center CPUs

NVIDIA has today announced it will invest $5 billion in Intel as part of a new collaboration between the two companies. In a statement, NVIDIA said it would work with its ailing rival to “jointly develop multiple generations of custom data center and PC products.” The partnership will focus on "seamlessly integrating" NVIDIA's class-leading GPUs and AI chips with Intel's ailing x86 CPUs. Some of that work will be based on harnessing NVLink, NVIDIA's existing system to marry-up x86 CPUs with its

Cold shoulder: Why Beijing is freezing Nvidia's access to the Chinese market

The Nvidia logo appears on a smartphone reflecting the flags of China and the U.S. Nurphoto | Nurphoto | Getty Images Beijing has reportedly halted purchases of yet another AI chip from Nvidia, freezing it out of the market completely — a move industry experts say reflects the country's growing confidence in domestic chip makers and an attempt at gaining trade leverage. It was only a few months ago when Jensen Huang announced, from China, that the U.S. would allow it to resume sales of its made

These 8 updates would transform Google Maps into an incredible road trip companion

Andy Walker / Android Authority Many believe in the idea that you should critique what you love. If that’s true, then I must have a strong affection for Google Maps. I use this navigation app on Android and Android Auto almost daily, and each day I’m reminded of its missing features. This is particularly evident when I’m on a longer drive. Google Maps isn’t the ideal road trip companion for all intents and purposes. Sure, it gets you from A to B (eventually), estimates travel time, and provide

With the launch of iOS 26, the company has started to make good on that promise, with support for six apps so far. Notably, you don’t need to choose T-Mobile as your carrier in order to subscribe to the service … T-Satellite from T-Mobile We’d known since 2022 that T-Mobile would be SpaceX’s fi
