The Download: OpenAI’s open-weight models, and the future of internet search

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-12-10 17:10:00

The news: OpenAI has finally released its first open-weight large language models since 2019’s GPT-2. Unlike the models available through OpenAI’s web interface, these new open models can be freely downloaded, run, and even modified on laptops and other local devices. Why it matters: These releases re-establish OpenAI as a presence for users of open models. That’s particularly notable at a time when Meta, which had previously dominated the American open-model landscape with its Llama models, ma

This new Android security feature could interfere with fast charging, and here’s why

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-11 04:30:09

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16’s upcoming USB Protection feature enhances security by defaulting new USB connections to charging-only when the device is locked. This security measure may interfere with fast charging, as many protocols require data negotiation between the phone and the charger to work. If your phone isn’t fast charging, a simple workaround is to unlock the device and then reconnect the USB cable. Of all the new features in Android 16, Advanced Protection

Don’t hold your breath for OpenAI’s new model to run on your phone’s Snapdragon chip

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-12 03:09:16

TL;DR The new OpenAI model can now run directly on some devices with Snapdragon chips. It’s the first time an OpenAI reasoning model has been made available for on-device use. This could mean faster, more private AI features on your phone, just not yet. When you use an AI model like ChatGPT, it runs in the cloud rather than on your phone or laptop, but Qualcomm seems eager to change that. The company has announced that OpenAI’s first open-source reasoning model, with the less-than-catchy name
