Jeffrey Hazelwood/CNET Stephanie Wandell applied to hundreds of jobs since getting laid off from a tech marketing role last November.

5 reasons why I still prefer Perplexity over every other AI chatbot

zdnet.com Steven Vaughan-Nichols 2026-01-21 05:38:00

Stefani Reynolds/Bloomberg via Getty Images I've been working with artificial intelligence (AI) since the 1970s, when Lisp was state-of-the-art. Lately, like everyone else, I've been looking at AI a lot more closely. While it's nifty and getting genuinely useful, it can still blunder, like the time Google's AI Overviews recommended users to eat "at least one small rock per day."

Apple’s machine learning framework is getting support for NVIDIA’s CUDA platform

Apple’s MLX machine learning framework, originally designed for Apple Silicon, is getting a CUDA backend, which is a pretty big deal. Here’s why. The work is being led by developer @zcbenz on GitHub (via AppleInsider), who started prototyping CUDA support a few months ago. Since then, he split the project into smaller pieces, and gradually merged them into Apple’s MLX’s main branch.
