Anthropic is changing its usage limits — and its fanbase is already pointing fingers. In a post on X, the OpenAI rival announced that it's introducing new weekly rate limits to paid subscribers after it says a small handful of users abused their privileges and, essentially, ruined it for everyone else. "Claude Code has seen unprecedented demand, especially as part of our Max plans," Anthropic explained, referencing its highest subscription tier that runs $100 to $200 per month, depending on us

Google’s Newest AI Model Acts like a Satellite to Track Climate Change

wired.com Boone Ashworth 2025-12-22 21:57:44

Google’s newest AI model is going to scour the Earth and, ideally, help it out. That's the plan, anyway. The mission is to find out once and for all, in fine detail, what we are doing to our planet. Crucially, once the model has supposedly done this it will also, apparently, explain where we might be able to best put things in place to help our world.

Studies Show AI Models Love to Share With One Another (and Do a Little Price Fixing as a Treat)

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-12-23 03:10:01

Sharing is caring. Two recent studies took a look at what happens when you let AI models communicate with each other. Both should probably give us pause about letting these machines make friends with one another. The first study—a preprint paper out of Northeastern University’s National Deep Inference Fabric, which seeks to peer into the black box of large language models and understand how they work—found that AI models pass along hidden signals to one another during training.

A new, faster-paced game mode is coming to Apex Legends on August 5

The next season of Apex Legends kicks off on August 5, and it will see the arrival of a new, permanent game mode. Respawn says it built Wildcard as a faster-paced alternative to the core battle royale mode. For instance, when you take out an enemy, they won't leave behind a death box. Instead, their loot will scatter around them, making it easier for you to spot and pick up an item you need or want. Another big difference here is legend stacking.

Galaxy S26 is dead, long live S26 Pro: Another leak points to Samsung’s flagship shakeup

However, GSMA listings for the base Galaxy S26 contradicted this finding. Previously listed as “Galaxy S26,” updated GSMA listings were spotted for SM-S942, which now list the same model number as the “Galaxy S26 Pro.” This corroborates our previous finding and suggests that the Galaxy
