Beyond ChatGPT: The Next Wave of AI Can See, Hear, and Create Worlds

Beyond ChatGPT: The Next Wave of AI Can See, Hear, and Create Worlds

OpenAI released GPT-4o in May 2024 as a natively multimodal model that accepts text, audio, image, and video input and can generate text, audio, or images, delivering GPT-4-level performance at roughly 50% lower cost and faster speed. Google DeepMind Gemini, unveiled in December 2023, ships as Gemini 1.0 Ultra, Pro, and Nano and has exceeded state-of-the-art on 30 of 32 academic tasks, including 90% on the MMLU benchmark. Meta’s AudioCraft, announced in 2023, includes MusicGen for music and AudioGen for sound effects and was open-sourced, while MovieGen, released by late 2024, can generate short videos with audio up to 16

The AI Revolution Has Only Just Begun – How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Everything

The AI Revolution Has Only Just Begun – How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Everything

In 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov. In 2011, IBM’s Watson beat Jeopardy! champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. In 2012, a deep learning system developed by Geoffrey Hinton and colleagues won an image-recognition contest by a large margin, kicking off the deep learning revolution. In 2014, Google acquired DeepMind. In 2016, Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo defeated world Go champion Lee Sedol. In 2015, OpenAI was founded by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Ilya Sutskever and others. In late 2022, OpenAI’s ChatGPT launched publicly and reached 100 million users within two months. By 2023, Midjourney had over 15

The Chatbot Revolution Nobody Saw Coming: How AI Assistants Took Over the World

The Chatbot Revolution Nobody Saw Coming: How AI Assistants Took Over the World

ELIZA (1966) pioneered chatbot pattern matching, followed by PARRY (1972) which mimicked a paranoid patient. The 2010s saw a shift from rule-based chatbots to learning-based ones with neural networks and transformers, highlighted by Google’s BERT (2018) and OpenAI’s GPT series (GPT-3, 2020). GPT-3, with 175 billion parameters, debuted in 2020, and the ChatGPT prototype launched in November 2022, reaching 100 million users in two months. Voice assistants emerged with Siri (2011), Alexa (2014), Cortana (2014), and Google Assistant (2016). Google’s Bard evolved into Gemini in 2024, with Gemini Ultra as the top model, offering multimodal input, 40+ languages, and real-time

AI vs. the Fakes: Inside the 2025 Race to Spot ChatGPT, Deepfakes and More

AI vs. the Fakes: Inside the 2025 Race to Spot ChatGPT, Deepfakes and More

GPTZero, created by a Princeton student in early 2023, was among the first famous AI text detectors and highlights AI-written sentences with color-coding and an “AI probability” score. OpenAI discontinued its AI-written text detector in 2023 after finding a low rate of accuracy. In a Washington Post test, Turnitin’s AI detector got over half the essays at least partly wrong and flagged 8% of a student’s original essay as AI. The European Union’s AI Act of 2024 requires AI-generated content to be disclosed, with providers mandated to watermark or clearly indicate AI origin starting in 2026. Google announced SynthID in

On July 25, 2025, Meta hired Shengjia Zhao, a co-creator of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and GPT-4, as chief scientist of its new “Superintelligence Lab.” The Superintelligence Lab will consolidate Meta’s LLaMa models and long-term AGI work, operate separately from FAIR, and Zuckerberg has said it aims to build “full general intelligence” as open source. OpenAI launched ChatGPT Agent and introduced Customize ChatGPT, making these features available to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team subscribers after a trial period. Alibaba open-sourced four new generative AI models in a single week, including the 235-billion-parameter Qwen3-235B-A22B-Thinking-2507 (Qwen3-Thinking-2507), which scored 92.3 on AIME, 74.1 on

No Signal? No Problem – T-Mobile’s Starlink Satellite Service Launches to End Dead Zones

No Signal? No Problem – T-Mobile’s Starlink Satellite Service Launches to End Dead Zones

T-Mobile’s satellite service, T-Satellite, is now live nationwide and out of beta, making it the first major U.S. carrier to offer direct satellite coverage for ordinary smartphones. The service piggybacks SpaceX’s Starlink satellites and requires no extra antenna or app, automatically connecting when the phone can see the sky. T-Satellite relies on a constellation of over 650 Starlink satellites and initially supports SMS and location sharing, with MMS partially supported and iPhone MMS to follow. Intro pricing is $10 per month for a limited time, rising to $15 later, with top-tier plans such as Experience Beyond at $100/month and Go5G

Senegal’s Internet Revolution: How Fiber, 5G, and Policy Are Connecting a Nation

As of January 2025, about 11.3 million Senegalese use the internet, representing 60.6% of the population, with roughly 4 in 10 still offline. There were 22.7 million active mobile connections in early 2025, about 121% of the population due to multiple SIM cards. Approximately 90% of Senegal’s mobile connections are on 3G/4G/5G networks, i.e., broadband capable.

Beyond Smartphones: AR Glasses, Brain Chips & the Race to Replace Your Phone

Beyond Smartphones: AR Glasses, Brain Chips & the Race to Replace Your Phone

In 2023 global smartphone shipments were about 1.17 billion units, with average replacement cycles exceeding 3 years. AR glasses, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), smart wearables, and ambient computing are identified as the leading contenders to replace or augment smartphones. Apple launched Vision Pro in early 2024 as a $3,499 mixed-reality headset, though its weight, battery life, and lack of apps limited mass-market appeal. IDC projects AR glasses shipments to surpass 5 million by 2027, up from under 1 million in 2023. Meta’s Reality Labs spent more than $10 billion in 2024 pursuing wearable AR glasses. On January 28, 2024, Neuralink implanted
