According to an investor call this week, Project Moohan, Samsung’s Vision Pro killer, is set to be released in the second half of this year and will finally go on sale before the year is over.

The Download: OpenAI’s future research, and US climate regulation is under threat

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-12-21 00:10:00

—Will Douglas Heaven For the past couple of years, OpenAI has felt like a one-man brand. With his showbiz style and fundraising glitz, CEO Sam Altman overshadows all other big names on the firm’s roster. But Altman is not the one building the technology on which its reputation rests. That responsibility falls to OpenAI’s twin heads of research—chief research officer Mark Chen and chief scientist Jakub Pachocki. Between them, they share the role of making sure OpenAI stays one step ahead of

Back in 2023, T-Mobile received a ton of flak for announcing it would soon forcibly switch some of its legacy customers to newer, more expensive plans. Within weeks, the company reversed its stance amid growing complaints, claiming the move had only been a test . Two years later, it seems the company is at it once again. Several T-Mobile customers have taken to Reddit to complain about a new email making the rounds. The message informs recipients of a plan change set to take effect on August 13

An EPA rule change threatens to gut US climate regulations

The proposed rule will go up for public comment, and the agency will then take that feedback and come up with a final version. It’ll almost certainly get hit with legal challenges and will likely wind up in front of the Supreme Court. One note here is that the EPA makes a mostly legal argument in the proposed rule reversal rather than focusing on going after the science of climate change, says Madison Condon, an associate law professor at Boston University.
