Multiverse Computing raises $215M for tech that could radically lower AI costs

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2026-03-23 23:00:00

Spanish startup Multiverse Computing on Thursday said it has raised an enormous Series B round of €189 million (about $215 million) on the strength of a technology it calls “CompactifAI.” CompactifAI is a quantum-computing inspired compression technology that is capable of reducing the size of LLMs by up to 95% without impacting model performance, the company said. Specifically, Multiverse offers compressed versions of well-known, open-source LLMs – primarily small models – such as Llama 4 Sco

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2026-03-23 23:00:00

Meta has sued the maker of a popular AI “nudify” app, Crush AI, that reportedly ran thousands of ads across Meta’s platforms. In addition to the lawsuit, Meta says it’s taking new measures to crack down on other apps like Crush AI. In a lawsuit filed in Hong Kong, Meta alleged Joy Timeline HK, the entity behind Crush AI, attempted to circumvent the company’s review process to distribute ads for AI nudify services.

ChatGPT gets crushed at chess by a 1 MHz Atari 2600

techspot.com Alfonso Maruccia 2026-03-22 12:50:00

Editor's take: Despite being hailed as the next step in the evolution of artificial intelligence, large language models are no smarter than a piece of rotten wood. Every now and then, some odd experiment or test reminds everyone that so-called "intelligent" AI doesn't actually exist if you're living outside a tech company's quarterly report. A cycle-exact emulation of the Atari 2600 CPU running at a meager 1.19 MHz is more than enough to utterly humiliate ChatGPT in a game of chess. Citrix engi

The 5 best iOS 26 features I want Android to copy ASAP

Joe Maring / Android Authority Well, Apple has done it. After releasing iOS 18 in 2024, this year’s iPhone update jumps up by eight to iOS 26. Not only is the new name significant, but thanks to Apple’s new Liquid Glass redesign, it’s also one of the most drastic iOS updates we’ve seen in years. While I hope the whole Liquid Glass thing stays far, far away from Android, there are some elements of iOS 26 that I actually quite like.

Android 16 review: It’s actually a big update, and I don’t want to hear otherwise

Today is the big day: Google just released Android 16 to the public. The update is rolling out now to the Pixel 6 and later, and the update’s source code is now available to developers on the Android Open Source Project. While Android 16 is classified as a major update, it certainly doesn’t look or feel like one on the surface. That’s because this initial release lacks many of the marquee features Google announced last month, such as the Material 3 Expressive redesign and the new Desktop Mode e

First Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 3 leak has bad news for 2027’s flagship phones

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The first major Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 3 leak suggests Qualcomm could offer two versions of the chip, akin to Apple. The leaker also asserts that 2027’s flagship phones could be more expensive due to the cost of the chipset. It also sounds like standard flagship phones could use a less capable flagship Snapdragon processor.

AOSP isn’t dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google has made it harder to build custom Android ROMs for Pixel phones by omitting their device trees and driver binaries from the latest AOSP release. The company says this is because it’s shifting its AOSP reference target from Pixel hardware to a virtual device called “Cuttlefish” to be more neutral. While Google insists AOSP isn’t going away, developers must now reverse-engineer changes, making the process for supporting Pixel devices more difficu
