A few months ago, OpenAI teamed up with Jony Ive to build the next generation of AI-powered hardware, under the brand io. Now, according to The Information, they are working with the same supply chain partners that Apple relies on for its own products. Here are the details. OpenAI and Jony Ive resort to Apple suppliers for io According to the report, io has already signed with a major Apple supplier and is courting a second: “Luxshare, a major assembler of iPhones and AirPods in China, has a

Dymesty AI Glasses: Everyday titanium eyewear with a full AI assistant built in

AI-powered smart glasses are all the rage nowadays. However, despite their potential, one of the main issues with smart glasses is their appearance and feel. Most are usually big, bulky, made with plastic to keep the weight low, and have large stems to hold all the tech. It all adds up to quite an uncomfortable experience and often looks out of place. That is the most significant pain point that Dymesty addresses with its AI Glasses. Dymesty created AI glasses that professionals would genuinely

‘Foundation’ Star Cherry Jones on Season 3’s Most Surprising Pairing

Ambassador Quent (The Handmaid’s Tale‘s Cherry Jones) is one of Foundation season three’s most intriguing new characters. As the Foundation’s ambassador on Trantor, she’s spent decades living alongside Empire—who are technically her enemy, but she’s grown quite close with the Cleons, especially Brother Dusk (Terrence Mann). In last week’s episode, “Foundation’s End,” Quent—her first name is Felice, we learn from Dusk—watched in horror as the Foundation’s home planet, New Terminus, fell to the v

2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S: A different approach to a luxury sedan

REIDEN, Germany—There is a lot to be said for testing a car on the roads it was developed on. A Kei car, for example, makes more sense in downtown Tokyo than on one of Nashville's arterial highways, surrounded by construction trucks. Likewise the German supersedans. For decades, an arms race has been conducted between rival engineers in Munich, Ingolstadt, Stuttgart, and Zuffenhausen, each trying to best the others and build the ultimate four-door, four-wheel Autobahn crusher, fit for the fattes

Payment platform Lava raises $5.8M to build digital wallets for the ‘agent-native economy’

A new startup, Lava Payments, aims to take on payment giants by building a solution for the modern web where AI agents now handle transactions for their customers. The idea came to founder Mitchell Jones after he left his earlier Y Combinator-backed fintech startup, Lendtable, as he began to experiment with AI. He saw the potential to build out a system that would make using AI and agent payments simpler and more developer-friendly. While experimenting with an AI app and trying to build what he

2025 Polestar 3 drives sporty, looks sharp, can be a little annoying

Earlier this month, Ars took a look at Volvo’s latest electric vehicle. The EX90 proved to be a rather thoughtful Swedish take on the luxury SUV, albeit one that remains a rare sight on the road. But the EX90 is not the only recipe one can cook with the underlying ingredients. The ingredients in this case are from a platform called SPA2, and to extend the metaphor a bit, the kitchen is the Volvo factory in Ridgeville, South Carolina, which in addition to making a variety of midsize and larger Vo

This new AIO cooler packs more displays than your entire setup

Because, Why Not: There has been a growing trend among many PC builders recently: in-case displays. Not only have these screens been getting bigger and more advanced, but some people find that one just isn't enough. That's where Chinese firm Jonsbo comes in. The company's new AIO cooler series packs a bewildering four customizable LCDs. Jonsbo's TF3-360SC series initially looks like a typical AIO cooler with a 3.5-inch 640 x 480 screen built into the pump block – a design we've seen many times

Jove (Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs)

JOVE (Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs)[1] is an open-source, Emacs-like text editor, primarily intended for Unix-like operating systems. It also supports MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows. JOVE was inspired by Gosling Emacs but is much smaller and simpler, lacking Mocklisp.

OpenAI and Jony Ive's startup seal the deal

OpenAI's deal with Jony Ive's startup is a done deal. Ive's io has officially merged with the ChatGPT maker in a deal reportedly worth $6.5 billion. The companies announced the purchase in May.

‘Andor’ Star Stellan Skarsgård Was the Ultimate ‘Star Wars’ Script Rulebreaker

The level of secrecy on Disney’s prized franchises is known to be on another level. Between Marvel and Star Wars, script and set leaks are something the studio wants to keep the spigot closed on. But it turns out that sometimes tight security makes the work challenging for its stars, including certain cast members of the hit Disney+ show Andor. The nugget of behind the scenes lore was revealed while Andor star Diego Luna, who is currently doing a stint hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live, had own his Sta

Krysten Ritter Returns as Jessica Jones in 'Daredevil: Born Again': What We Know So Far

Krysten Ritter will be returning as superhero Jessica Jones in the second season of Daredevil: Born Again alongside Charlie Cox's Daredevil, Disney announced during Marvel's section of Disney Upfront 2025 in May. "Hey hey, JJ," Ritter wrote on Instagram May 13, "I can't WAIT for Jessica Jones to get back in the MCU action with Daredevil." Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again will be released in March 2026.

2025 Audi S5 and A5 first drive: Five-door is the new four-door

Audi provided flights from Washignton, DC, to Denver and accommodation so Ars could drive the A5 and S5, as well as the Q5 and SQ5. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. ASPEN, Colo.—The SUV might be the dominant design in the American automobile market, but it hasn't completely taken over. At Audi, there is still life in the sedan. The old A4 four-door is no more—at least for a while or until Audi redoes its nomenclature yet again. If you want a small Audi four-door, you need to step dow

The new version of Audi’s best-selling Q5 SUV arrives in the US

Audi provided flights from Washington, DC, to Denver and accommodation so Ars could drive the Q5 and SQ5, as well as two other models you can read about next week. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. ASPEN, Colo.—There's a lot riding on Audi's next Q5. The model has been Audi's bread and butter here since the model went on sale in the US in 2009, as tastes changed and sedans fell out of favor. The third-generation Q5 is built on an all-new platform and is one of a new generation of soft
