As the crowd descends upon Las Vegas to watch the pair square up, the question lingers in the air of whether Crawford will beef up his weight -- and by how much -- to meet his opponent's.

Canelo vs. Crawford: When to Watch the Fight Live on Netflix

Pro boxers Saul "Canelo" Álvarez and Terence Crawford are heading into a weekend match that will see Álvarez defending his title as super middleweight champion. As the crowd descends upon Las Vegas to watch the pair square up, the question lingers in the air of whether Crawford will beef up his weight -- and by how much -- to meet his opponent's. While Álvarez is a seasoned super middleweight contender (and current undisputed champion), Crawford has never fought in this weight class and planned

A Pill to Fight Obesity Is on the Verge of Approval

The next big obesity medication coming down the pipeline will likely come in pill form. Eli Lilly has just released the latest positive Phase III trial results of its experimental oral GLP-1 drug, orforglipron. On Tuesday morning, Eli Lilly reported that orforglipron met the benchmarks of the company’s Phase III ATTAIN-2 study. People taking orforglipron experienced substantial improvements in weight loss and blood sugar control compared to those taking a placebo, the study showed. Armed with d

One of China’s Largest Tech Companies Just Copied Apple’s Biggest Flop

Apple has had some misses in the past (looking at you, G4 Cube), but in recent times, arguably no piece of hardware has been a bigger flop than the Vision Pro. But just because sales for Apple’s $3,500 face computer have been tepid at best hasn’t stopped competitors from conjuring up their own lookalikes. That includes Samsung and its upcoming Project Moohan headset running Android XR, and now, an almost laughably close lookalike out of China from smartphone maker Vivo. If Project Moohan takes

The Best Smart Scales for 2025 and How to Get the Most Accurate Reading

Weigh yourself at the same time: To get a consistent reading when using any scale, it's important to weigh yourself first thing in the morning before you've drunk or eaten anything.

Intermittent fasting strategies and their effects on body weight

This meta-analysis concurrently and comprehensively evaluates the association of intermittent fasting, CER, and ad-libitum diets on cardiometabolic risk factors. Our findings showed a trivial to small reduction in body weight for all diet strategies compared with ad-libitum, and trivial reductions for ADF compared with CER, TRE, and WDF. These associations, however, were only significant among comparisons with ad-libitum diet in moderate-to-long term follow-up durations of at least 24 weeks. ADF

The Creator of Ozempic Is in Terrible Trouble

Image by Mads Claus Rasmussen / Ritzau Scanpix / AFP via Getty / Futurism Developments While its customer are shedding pounds, Novo Nordisk, creator of the mega-hit drug Ozempic, is shedding loads of market value amid collapsing sales. One year ago, the Danish pharmaceutical giant's market cap exceeded the size of its entire home country's economy. But this week, it's continued its steady but drastic decline — which saw its CEO get the axe — by losing nearly $100 billion in value after slashin

Eli Lilly’s Obesity Pill Shows Promising Weight Loss in New Results

An experimental pill made by Eli Lilly led to average weight loss of more than 12 percent of body weight in individuals with obesity, according to initial trial results announced by the drugmaker on Thursday. The pill is meant to be taken daily and would be an alternative to the company’s popular anti-obesity drug Zepbound, a once-weekly injectable drug. Called orforglipron, it’s part of a growing class of drugs known as GLP-1s, which include Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and Wegovy. The drugs mimic a

OpenAI's New Models Aren't Really Open: What to Know About Open-Weights AI

Despite the company's name, OpenAI hasn't dropped an open version of its AI models since GPT-2 in 2019. That changed on Tuesday, as CEO Sam Altman shared two new open-weights, reasoning AI models, named gpt-oss-120b (120 billion parameters) and gpt-oss-20b (20 billion parameters). If open-weights is a new piece of AI jargon to you, don't worry. In the simplest possible terms, open-weights is a category of AI models that power products like chatbots, image and video generators. But they are phil

OpenAI releases two open-weight AI models, including one that runs well on Apple Silicon Macs

Living up to its name, OpenAI has released not one but two new open-weight AI models after promising to deliver a new open-weight model earlier this year. The two models, gpt-oss-20b and gpt-oss-120b, are available to download for free now. What makes open-weight models special? Specifically, these are AI models that can be downloaded and run on computers with adequate resources for powering local AI models. No internet connection is required because access to the model provider’s server isn’t

OpenAI prepares new open weight models along with GPT-5

OpenAI isn't just working on GPT-5. It looks like OpenAI is also preparing to release new open-source weights, living up to its name, "OpenAI." As spotted on X, two new open-source weights, "gpt-oss-20b" and "gpt-oss-120b," have been spotted on HuggingFace, which is an AI platform to host models. The models are on HuggingFace ahead of the public release. Typically, companies like OpenAI need to share the model weights with partner companies. This is done in preparation for the release. OpenA

Maintaining Weight Loss

When people hit their weight loss goals, it’s easy to assume the hardest part is behind them. However, maintaining that progress is a skill with its own set of challenges. In fact, sometimes, people are more prepared for the initial grind of weight loss than for the long-term effort required for maintenance. This article aims to provide a collection of skills to manage maintenance more effectively while hopefully making it feel sustainable. Let’s dig in! 1. Really understanding the role of yo

This Experimental Weight Loss Drug Works Without the Nausea or Vomiting

What if you could lose weight with a drug that won’t make you lose your lunch at the same time? New research shows it might be possible. Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Kentucky, and other institutions say they’ve found a potentially novel way to suppress people’s appetite and treat obesity—without causing the nausea or vomiting commonly experienced with semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy). In early animal experiments, the team’s experimenta

Best Squat Racks of 2025

Choose a squat rack that fits your needs: "Focus your time and energy researching those racks that fit perfectly into your space and for the height of the people who will be using the rack," said Steve Stonehouse, VP of education and programming at Body Fit Training. You'll also want to check the quality of the machine. "There is a different quality and standard for commercial racks as opposed to personal racks," he explains. When deciding on the quality of the rack, something to consider is the

OpenAI Hits Pause on Its Meta Killer

OpenAI is delaying the release of its much-anticipated open-weight AI model, citing the need for “additional safety tests” and last-minute concerns over “high-risk areas,” CEO Sam Altman announced on X (formerly Twitter). The decision lands in the middle of a brutal AI arms race, particularly with Meta, which has been aggressively poaching OpenAI talent and championing open-source models like Llama 3. The model, which was slated to drop this week, would be OpenAI’s first major open-weight syste

Hill Space: Neural nets that do perfect arithmetic (to 10⁻¹⁶ precision)

When understood and used properly, the constraint W = tanh(Ŵ) ⊙ σ(M̂) (introduced in NALU by Trask et al. 2018 ) creates a unique parameter topology where optimal weights for discrete operations can be calculated rather than learned . During training, they're able to converge with extreme speed and reliability towards the optimal solution. Most neural networks struggle with basic arithmetic. They approximate, they fail on extrapolation, and they're inconsistent. But what if there was a way to m

This Once-a-Month Ozempic Rival Just Delivered Big Results

Having to take Ozempic or other weight loss drugs can be a real pain in the ass, with users often having to jab themselves once each week. In newly released clinical trial data, Amgen’s once-monthly experimental drug MariTide performed as well as or even better than the existing blockbuster GLP-1 medications semaglutide and tirzepatide.

The Download: how to clean up AI data centers, and weight-loss drugs’ side effects

In a sandy industrial lot outside Reno, Nevada, rows of battery packs that once propelled electric vehicles are now powering a small AI data center. Redwood Materials, one of the US’s largest battery recycling companies, showed off this array of energy storage modules, sitting on cinder blocks and wrapped in waterproof plastic, during a press tour at its headquarters on June 26. The event marked the launch of the company's new business line, Redwood Energy, which will initially repurpose (

We’re learning more about what weight-loss drugs do to the body

We know they can suppress appetite, lower blood sugar, and lead to dramatic weight loss. We also know that they come with side effects, which can include nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. But we are still learning about some of their other effects. On the one hand, these seemingly miraculous drugs appear to improve health in other ways, helping to protect against heart failure, kidney disease, and potentially even substance-use disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. But on the other,
