With every new Apple product launch, deals slowly crop up over time – and the MacBook lineup is no exception. The best deals tend to come after a model is no longer the latest and greatest, and there’s currently an unbeatable M3 MacBook Air deal that’s hard to pass up on, and once it sells out, there likely won’t be any more to go around. Apple released the new M4 MacBook Air in March, and since then, retailers have been trying to move inventory of older M3 models. For the most part, they have

In Brief OpenAI announced late Friday that it’s updating its latest model to be “warmer and friendlier.” The company recently launched the much-anticipated GPT-5 in a process that CEO Sam Altman admitted was “a little more bumpy than we’d hoped for,” with some users complaining that they preferred the previous model, GPT-4o. OpenAI is trying to address some of those complaints with this update, with changes that it says are “subtle” but will make GPT-5 “more approachable now.” “You’ll notice

Does this site show that AIs are biased? As of 2023, every major AI is economically left-wing and also relatively socially libertarian. Some AIs are much more like that than others, however, with Claude tending towards being one of the most moderate models, and Google’s Bard being one of the most extreme-left models.

The perception is that model improvement seems to be stagnating. GPT-5 wasn’t the step change that people were expecting. Yet, models continue to improve on reasoning benchmarks. Recently, both OpenAI and Google models were on par with gold medallists in the International Mathematical Olympiad 2025 (IMO). At the same time it’s still difficult to make AI agents work for relatively simple enterprise use cases. Why is there such a disparity in model performance between problem domains? Why are mode

While open-sourced models may seem cheaper initially, a new study warns that those savings can evaporate fast, due to the extra computing power they require.
