techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-08-19 18:56:41

The tools are powered by AI models from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and xAI that have rapidly increased their performance on a range of software engineering tests in recent years. However, a new study published Thursday by the non-profit AI research

Earlier this week, Samsung announced the latest generation of its high-end foldable phones at its Summer Galaxy Unpacked event. The Galaxy Z Fold7 and the Galaxy Z Flip7 are variously lighter, thinner, less crease-prone than before. They are more expensive too.

Will That Massive ‘Superman’ Revelation Impact the Future of DC?

James Gunn’s Superman centers on a few key moments. One of the biggest is the message Kal-El, played by David Corenswet, was left with from his Kryptonian parents. If you’ve seen the movie, you know how it plays out. (And, if you haven’t, it’s a pretty big spoiler, so proceed with caution.) Either way, it’s a bombshell revelation that changes not just the character but the entire trajectory of the movie, and so we had to talk to the people most directly affected by it.
