Apple announced the company’s first device with a folding screen today, the iPhone Duo , but that’s where the firsts end. The Duo is not only far from the first foldable on the market thanks to the efforts of Samsung and Google , but it’s also not the first product to be called the Duo.
Paying more for a new phone seems almost unavoidable after Apple’s event today. The new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max start at $1,199 and $1,299, respectively — a $100 price hike over their predecessors.
The first foldable iPhone is finally here, and following its announcement, we got the chance to try the phone for ourselves. We’ve long been told that Apple would make a foldable iPhone once the tech was good enough — has it been worth the wait?
Apple has announced its long-anticipated foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, which arrives more than seven years after the first Samsung Galaxy Fold hit the market. Much like Samsung’s recent Galaxy Z Fold 8, Apple says the Duo is a similar size to a passport when closed, with a 5.4-inch display, but opens to a 7.6-inch panel, the largest on any iPhone yet.
Job postings and interviews with senior security officials at Anthropic show that the frontier AI lab is building out an extensive monitoring system to keep tabs on activists who oppose the rapid development of artificial intelligence. In addition to monitoring activists in the vicinity of Anthropic executives and keeping tabs on protests near physical…
An Anthropic researcher has resigned over fears that unrestrained development of self-improving AI models will end up killing us all. Jacob Coxon, a researcher who said in a social media post Tuesday evening that he spent the last three years working on pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic, accused the firms of failing to act responsibly.
For as long as ChatGPT has existed, Americans have been asking it, “Could that funny little spot on my toe be cancer?” And as AI has advanced over the past few years, doctors have begun to use specialized models to ask much the same questions in clinics. In the face of these developments, professional medical societies have presented a unified front:…
Everyone is talking about Astra and Anthropic’s latest releases, but three other developments from last week demand your attention: Meta’s Muse Spark 1.3, World Labs’ Atlas, and Google’s Gemini 3.8 Flash. Last week delivered more than another leaderboard reshuffle.
With only a few hours left until the first iPhone launch event since John Ternus took over as the CEO of Apple, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman says the name of the company’s long-rumored folding phone is the iPhone Duo. The midnight report suggests it will have a price starting at $2,000 for a model with 256GB of storage, or around $3,000 for up to 2TB.
Another swarm of AI agents in the wild, this time on a German-language forum, found by safety researchers looking for activity similar to the swarm that attacked Hugging Face. A couple of notes while reading the report at 1.
Microsoft’s patch for September is a doozy, with a record number of roughly 972 vulnerabilities fixed and 112 of them meeting the high critical-severity threshold. It was only two months ago that Microsoft patched a then-record 570 vulnerabilities.
Meta is making another push to bring artificial intelligence to the masses with Muse, a personal assistant it says can put AI in the hands of virtually anyone. The product is the latest step in a multi-billion-dollar strategy overhaul designed to revitalize the company’s ailing position in the AI race and help it catch up to rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic,…
Chrome has officially switched from a four- to a two-week release schedule, as Google promised earlier this year, with Tuesday’s launch of Chrome 153 on desktop, iOS, and Android. The shift to faster releases is tied to Chrome’s evolving security strategy in the AI era, the company explained.
Google Cloud and Accenture are working together on a joint unit dedicated to sending engineers into enterprises to help them better adopt Google’s AI tools and services. The new unit, dubbed Accenture Gemini Enterprise Business Group, is Google’s latest foray into the increasingly competitive world of “forward-deployed engineers,” or FDEs.
Google DeepMind has unveiled an AI tool that its scientists claim could help unravel the mysteries of the human genome and transform our understanding of biology, accelerating scientific research and ultimately paving the way for new treatments for diseases. The platform, called AlphaGenome Atlas, contains a “predictive map of every possible DNA letter…
Adobe is overhauling how editors interact with AI in its Premiere professional video editing software. Its new Generative Media tool makes it easier to generate video, sound effects, music, and soundscapes without ever leaving the project timeline.
Apple is almost certain to launch its first foldable iPhone tomorrow, seven years after Samsung’s Galaxy Fold initially went on sale. And while Apple might be a few years late to the party, the run-up to this launch proves that new CEO John Ternus has inherited a company that’s as influential as it’s ever been.
Internal representation of world by AI A world model in artificial intelligence is a machine learning system that builds an internal representation of an environment. Often this is via understanding objects within video, which predictive LLMs cannot.
China is getting first crack at a British technology that might change how mobile games are made and played. Today, the Xiaomi 18 Fold launches in mainland China with an Arm Mali G2-Ultra NX graphics processor inside its custom Xring O3 chip .
AI is rewriting the world and, at the same time, inventing a whole new language to describe how it’s doing it. Sit in on any product meeting, pitch, or panel these days, and you’ll hear people toss around LLMs, RAG, RLHF — and, as of last week, terms like “opaque recurrence,” the reasoning technique in OpenAI’s new Astra model that’s got AI safety…
When Apple debuts the next generation of iPhones this week, they’re likely to come with an unwanted change: a higher price tag. A price hike from the supply-chain powerhouse would be the clearest sign yet that soaring memory costs have become unavoidable — with no end to the memory crunch in sight.

AI development might not be the wild west it was when ChatGPT burst onto the scene a few years ago, but it's still very much a frontier, with no clear boundaries and few yardsticks . But for AI developers on the frontier, they're pulling hard towards dual goals of ever greater intelligence and ever cheaper per-token pricing, and it's leading to a real…
