OpenAI wins gold at prestigious math competition - why that matters more than you think

zdnet.com Webb Wright 2026-01-08 00:34:00

OpenAI OpenAI has achieved a new milestone in the race to build AI models that can reason their way through complex math problems. On Saturday, the company announced that one of its models achieved gold medal-level performance on the International Math Olympiad (IMO), widely regarded as the most prestigious and difficult math competition in the world. Critically, the winning model wasn't designed specifically to solve IMO problems, in the way that earlier systems like DeepMind's AlphaGo -- wh

Hisense U8QG TV Review: Beautifully Bright, Tough to Tame

wired.com Ryan Waniata 2026-01-09 20:03:00

If you’re after a crazy-bright TV, Hisense’s U8 series has you covered. In the past few years, each new U8 model has ramped up the juice considerably, with the U8QG offering another powerful upgrade over last year’s U8N (8/10, WIRED Recommends). Considering I freely referred to the U8N with words like “nuclear” and “weapons-grade,” that’s saying something. Of course, while TV brightness is key for bolstering colors and hitting the hottest HDR (high dynamic range) highlights, brighter doesn’t alw

Here’s how Apple Intelligence keeps privacy in mind versus the competition

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2026-01-10 03:10:43

Artificial intelligence has obviously been the industry craze for the past couple years. While large language models are incredibly capable, they’ve always come with a bit of a compromise: privacy. Ultimately, you’re still using a model hosted in the cloud, and all of your conversations are stored on some server. Apple’s always had privacy at the core of its products – so in the months leading up to the debut of Apple’s AI features, many people wondered: how would Apple handle it? Today, we del

It has been seven years since the original GPT architecture was developed. At first glance, looking back at GPT-2 (2019) and forward to DeepSeek-V3 and Llama 4 (2024-2025), one might be surprised at how structurally similar these models still are.

Renewed iPad Pros pair nicely with iPadOS 26, and they’re quite affordable right now

A short while ago, I was browsing Apple deals on Amazon (as one does) – and something stuck out to me. High-end iPad Pros, particularly 12.9-inch models, are surprisingly cheap. I saw M1 models with 1TB and cellular for nearly $600. Given the recent iPadOS 26 overhaul that makes the iPad much more Mac-like, I figured these deals would be worth a share.

Constraints keep the integrity of your system and prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot. Foreign keys are a special type of constraint because, unlike unique, check, and primary keys, they span more than one relation. This makes foreign keys harder to enforce and harder to get right. In this article, I demonstrate common pitfalls, potential optimizations, and implicit behavior related to foreign keys.
