AI Breakthroughs, Billion-Dollar Bets & Backlash – The Global AI News Roundup (Aug 11–12, 2025)

OpenAI released GPT-5 on August 7, 2025, but by August 11 users reported sluggish responses and a less personal feel, prompting Sam Altman to admit the rollout was bumpy and to keep GPT-4 available for paying users while fixes are rolled out. OpenAI released GPT-OSS models with 20 billion and 120 billion parameters, the first freely downloadable large language models since 2019, available via AWS and excelling at coding, science, and math. Caltech researchers used reinforcement learning with a two-agent system called “player” and “observer” to crack the 60-year Andrews–Curtis Conjecture, showing AI can find solutions to long-standing group-theory problems.

Grok 4: Elon Musk’s “PhD-Level” AI Outshines OpenAI & Google on Major Benchmarks

The AI Chatbot Showdown of 2025: Grok vs DeepSeek vs Perplexity

Grok is Elon Musk’s xAI chatbot built on the Grok LLM family, with Grok-4 released in July 2025 and Grok-3 trained in a 200,000-GPU data center codenamed Colossus, plus built-in web search by late 2024 and multimodal image generation via Aurora. Grok-4 is integrated into Tesla vehicles as an onboard voice assistant as of July 2025, and the platform introduced Companions avatars and a Reasoning/Think mode during 2025. Grok-1 weights were open-sourced in early 2024, but Grok-4 remains proprietary, with consumer access initially via X Premium+ and later broadened to a trial for all X users in February 2025. In

Battle of the EV Charging Standards: Tesla’s NACS vs. CCS2 vs. CHAdeMO – Who Will Rule the Roads in 2025?

Battle of the EV Charging Standards: Tesla’s NACS vs. CCS2 vs. CHAdeMO – Who Will Rule the Roads in 2025?

Tesla introduced its own charging connector with the Model S in 2012 and opened it as NACS in late 2022. Tesla’s V3 Superchargers deliver up to 250 kW (about 1000 V, 250 A) to compatible vehicles, enabling about 80% charge in roughly 20 minutes under ideal conditions. Ford announced NACS ports for 2025 models in May 2023, followed by GM in June 2023, with Volvo, Polestar, Mercedes‑Benz, Nissan, Honda, Rivian, Lucid, Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, and VW Group joining by late 2023. The SAE officially standardized NACS as SAE J3400 in 2023, and the U.S. government endorsed NACS as a national

Grok 4: Inside Elon Musk’s Most Powerful (and Controversial) AI Chatbot Yet

Grok 4: Inside Elon Musk’s Most Powerful (and Controversial) AI Chatbot Yet

Grok 4 was unveiled on July 9, 2025 in a live stream on X, with Elon Musk calling it “the smartest AI in the world” and claiming it is “postgrad-level in every subject.” Grok 4 can use tools natively, perform autonomous web searches, run Python code, and access real-time information, removing the fixed knowledge cutoff. Grok 4 is multimodal and includes a voice assistant named Eve, but Musk admitted its vision and audio capabilities are still a work in progress and that it is “partially blind” on images. Training used the Colossus 200,000-GPU supercluster, with reinforcement learning at a scale

Tech Titans Clash: AI Superclusters, $4 Trillion Milestone & Prime Day Records (July 14 2025)

Tech Titans Clash: AI Superclusters, $4 Trillion Milestone & Prime Day Records (July 14 2025)

Meta’s AI power play: the first mega-cluster, Prometheus, comes online in 2026, with a second (Hyperion) scaling to 5 gigawatts later, and Zuckerberg boasts that one cluster covers a significant part of Manhattan’s footprint. Zuckerberg personally leads a “talent raid” to hire top engineers after Meta invested $14.3 billion in Scale AI, and in 2025 Meta raises capital expenditures to $64–72 billion. Meta’s crackdown on unoriginal content includes removing about 10 million imposter profiles and penalizing over 500,000 accounts, while testing a feature to link duplicates to the original creator. Meta faces an $8 billion shareholder lawsuit in Delaware Chancery
