Microsoft's Office 365 suite will soon incorporate AI models from Anthropic alongside existing OpenAI technology, The Information reported, ending years of exclusive reliance on OpenAI for generative AI features across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. The shift reportedly follows internal testing that revealed Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4 model excels at specific Office tasks where OpenAI's models fall short, particularly in visual design and spreadsheet automation, according to sources fam

Scientist Watching to See If Mysterious Object Visiting Our Solar System Releases Any Probes

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-08 11:09:20

Ever since a mysterious interstellar object, since dubbed 3I/ATLAS, was first spotted screaming into our solar system this year, famed Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has been raising the possibility that the interstellar interloper is an "extraterrestrial artifact" that was sent to us by an intelligent alien race. Researchers have broadly come to the consensus that 3I/ATLAS is a comet. Most recently, observations by the Gemini South telescope in Chile confirmed that its tail is growing longer,

The subjective experience of coding in different programming languages (2023)

I love the Pixel 10, but I wish it had these 5 features

I’m what you might call the “Pixel guy” around here. When the Google Pixel 10 series launched, I was, as you can imagine, pretty excited. And for good reason! These are fantastic phones. From the standard Pixel 10 to the Pixel 10 Pro XL and even to the outrageously expensive Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Google has delivered a lineup that is refined, intelligent, and a joy to use. I’ve already bought the Pixel 10 Pro, and I have a strong feeling it will be my pick for the best phone of 2025. But as much a

Channing Tatum Still Wishes He Got to Do ‘Beauty & the Beast’ With Guillermo del Toro

Channing Tatum has had a varied career. He has played spies, superheroes, and soft-hearted men (he also dances really well). But there is one role he wished he could play, but it got away: Tatum really, really wanted to play The Beast in a non-Disney version of Beauty & the Beast. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Tatum said he had been approached about a possible film adaptation of the childhood classic by Guillermo del Toro.

The iPhone 17 camera looks completely outdated next to 2025’s Android phones

Apple has just launched the iPhone 17 series, and there are quite a few camera changes this time. We’ve got a square selfie camera sensor that enables portrait or landscape shots without rotating the phone, a 48MP 4x camera for the Pro phones, and a 48MP ultrawide camera for the standard model. Unfortunately, one thing you won’t find on the standard Phone 17 is a telephoto camera. Apple has decided to skip this option yet again, and this is a frankly embarrassing decision in 2025.

Researchers Create 3D-Printed Artificial Skin That Allows Blood Circulation

wired.com Ritsuko Kawai 2025-10-09 03:30:00

When treating severe burns and trauma, skin regeneration can be a matter of life or death. Extensive burns are usually treated by transplanting a thin layer of epidermis, the top layer of skin, from elsewhere on the body. However, this method not only leaves large scars, it also does not restore the skin to its original functional state. Unless the dermis, the layer below the epidermis, which contains blood vessels and nerves, is regenerated, it cannot be considered normal living skin. Now, wor
