OpenAI, the creator of the world’s most used AI-powered chatbot (ChatGPT), is set to launch its major artificial intelligence model, GPT-5, in August 2025, The Verge reports. This eagerly awaited release is expected to mark an advance in the development of AI technology, as it promises to deliver smarter and more versatile capabilities than any previous OpenAI’s models. GPT-5 is the latest version of OpenAI’s generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) models. These types of models, also trained on large language models (LLMs), are designed to understand and generate human-like language, and even process images and audio recordings. GPT-5 is special because…

The Trump administration has pulled back the curtain on its ambitious new blueprint for American dominance in artificial intelligence (AI), with the roll-out of a comprehensive AI Action Plan aimed at cutting regulatory red tape and “turbocharging” the country’s AI and digital infrastructure.  With more than 90 outlined policy actions detailed in a 28-page strategy document, the plan is one out of many transformative efforts to put America at the forefront of the global AI race while ensuring standard national security and economic prosperity. According to the White House’s press release, these policy actions span through three major pillars: Accelerating…

Elon Musk’s Tesla, the world’s most prominent electric vehicle (EV) maker, has officially made its long-awaited debut into India’s automotive market. The company recently launched its first showroom in Mumbai, which means its innovative technology and globally admired cars now has a presence in the world’s third-largest EV market.  Tesla’s entry into India’s EV market is not one without its own thorns and hurdles, as it followed nearly a decade of talks and negotiations. The EV maker encountered many problems before its entry, many of which were related to India’s high imported duties and the need for Tesla to establish local…

Google has sealed a $2.4 billion licensing-and-hiring deal with AI coding startup Windsurf. Under this deal, Google will use Windsurf for its code-generation technology, while bringing Windsurf’s CEO Varun Mohan, co-founder Douglas Chen, and several top engineers into Google’s DeepMind division. Google said the new hires will focus on AI agentic coding initiatives, which are a part of Gemini AI projects. “We’re excited to welcome some top AI coding talent from Windsurf’s team to Google DeepMind to advance our work in agentic coding,” Google spokesperson Chris Pappas said in an email to TechCrunch. This deal follows OpenAI’s failed $3 billion…

Microsoft July 2025 Patch delivers one of the year’s largest security drops, addressing 128 security vulnerabilities spanning across Windows, Office, SQL Server, SharePoint, Azure components, Visual Studio, and more. Among these, vulnerabilities and other remotely exploitable flaws affecting SQL Server stood out, making this one of the most important Patch Tuesday releases of the year, especially for IT administrators and cybersecurity teams. Patch Tuesday is Microsoft’s monthly, scheduled release of software updates and security fixes, typically occurring on the second Tuesday of each month. These updates are crucial for patching newly discovered vulnerabilities that could leave critical sector infrastructures as…

Elon Musk’s Starlink, powered by his space exploration company SpaceX, recently suffered an outage that lasted for about 2.5 hours, affecting over 61,000 users across the globe. This incident comes months after SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft failed mid-flight during its eighth test flight and exploded into a rain of debris.  The July 24, 2025 Starlink outage marks the largest in Starlink’s operational history and, as such, raises important questions about the resiliency of satellite broadband networks that have rapidly become important to people and companies, especially companies in the critical infrastructure sector. The outage was reported to have begun around 19:00…

U.S.-based chip manufacturing giant Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has recently gotten license clearance and approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce to proceed with exporting its Instinct MI308 artificial intelligence (AI) chips to China. AMD’s MI308 chip, designed for data centers and large-scale AI networks, was caught in the crosshairs of the brewing U.S.-China technology rivalry that eventually resulted in a trade war. The trade war, involving a tit-for-tat tariff imposition on both country’s imports, later bleeded into the U.S. taking drastic steps in order to protect its technological advancements and to not allow China lead the AI race. It…

Meta, known for its Llama family of open-source large language models (LLMs), has been a driving force behind open AI research. However, the company’s newly proposed Superintelligence Labs (MSL), if fully adopted, will signal a notable shift in the AI research landscape which might also alter the trajectory of open-source AI development worldwide. Llama’s public release catalyzed developer communities, enabled transparency, and set high standards for accessible, state-of-the-art AI models. But with the creation of the Superintelligence Labs comes the opposite, which will allow for Meta to have tighter controls over its intellectual property and also allow it to compete…

Positioning Amazon as a direct rival to established tools like GitHub Copilot, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has officially entered the AI-powered coding market with the launch of Kiro, a new integrated development environment (IDE) that is designed to transform the way developers write, document, and maintain code. It promises to transform rapid AI-generated vibe-coding into robust enterprise-grade software systems.  Vibe-coding, a term coined by Andrej Karpthy, is a fast, creative process that can generate impressive demos but often leaves projects lacking the clarity, documentation, and structure needed for real-world production environments. For Amazon’s Kiro, as it is stated on its…

In a move that mirrors the recent YouTube crackdown on identifying “mass-produced and repetitious content,” Meta also wants to protect “original” content on its social media platform, Facebook. The social media giant announced in a blog post that they are “introducing stronger measures to reduce unoriginal content on Facebook and ultimately protect and elevate creators sharing original content.” This move complements the action that was carried out by Meta in the first half of the year, when the company said it had deleted about 10 million Facebook profiles that were impersonating big content creators and making money from their contents.…
