Billionaire Elon Musk has just been countersued by OpenAI, but that isn’t stopping his AI company, xAI, from making its flagship Grok 3 model available via an API. It has been several months since xAI unveiled Grok 3, the company’s answer to models like OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Google’s Gemini.  Grok 3 can analyze images and respond to questions, and powers a number of features on Musk’s social network, X, which not-so-coincidentally was acquired by xAI in March. xAI is offering two flavors of its flagship model via its API: Grok 3 and Grok 3 Mini with “reasoning” capabilities. Grok 3 is priced at…

The season 7 episode, titled “Plaything,” is an homage to—or possibly a horror story retelling of—Brooker’s time as a video game journalist in the 1990s. Brooker wrote for a games magazine called PC Zone, which plays a role in the show, and once had to review a life sim game called Creatures. ”That’s as autobiographical as this gets, because then all sorts of horrible things happen,” Brooker says. The episode’s protagonist pays a visit to Poulter’s character, who sets him down the show’s dark path. Brooker wanted “the juxtaposition of making it look as cute as possible and having quite…

Louise Matsakis: Yes, that is an absolutely beautiful quote that I really want to put on a hat or a T-shirt or a bumper sticker. Just an absolutely incredible picture that Secretary Lutnick is painting there. There’s two basic camps within the Trump administration here, and I think that that’s part of why you’re seeing this confusion because these two camps are sort of warring with one another. They’re both going on TV. So in one camp is the Art of the Deal crowd. Let’s call them that. The Art of the Deal people say Trump is the ultimate negotiator.…

The promise of AI is that it’ll make all of our lives easier. And with great convenience comes the potential for serious profit. The United Nations thinks AI could be a $4.8 trillion global market by 2033 – about as big as the German economy. But forget about 2033: in the here and now, AI is already fueling transformation in industries as diverse as financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, marketing, agriculture, and e-commerce. Whether it’s autonomous algorithmic ‘agents’ managing your investment portfolio or AI diagnostics systems detecting diseases early, AI is fundamentally changing how we live and work. But cynicism is…

Denza was originally founded in 2010 as a joint venture between BYD and Mercedes-Benz, launching its first car into the Chinese market in 2014. Now wholly owned by BYD, it went through a significant rebrand in 2021, with Wolfgang Egger—who previously led design teams at Audi and Lamborghini—joining at the helm as chief designer.The Z9GT has been chosen by BYD as the Denza car to launch into the market because it apparently represents the “best of BYD technology and the best of BYD design,” Li says.At its heart is Denza’s own e3 Platform, which brings a number of headline features.…

The GoRuck GR1 (7/10, WIRED Review) is the pack that launched the company, and still the best and most versatile of the GoRuck lineup. The GR1 comes in 2 sizes: 21L and 26L, I have both, but if I had to pick only one, it would be the 21L. This is the perfect size for rucking, everyday carry, and weekend trips if you pack light. I have even lived out of the 21L bag (with a shoulder bag for my camera gear) during a week long trip. It was a squeeze, but it worked. The 21L GR1 is deceptively large…

Hydrow rowing machines transformed the at-home fitness market when they launched in 2017. With their full-body low-impact training methods, Hydrow makes it easier to hit your fitness goals without leaving the house. The flagship Hydrow Pro is their most advanced model, but we also recommend the Hydrow Wave Rower for those with limited space. Both machines come with professional components, high resolution screens and an expansive library of over 5000 live and on-demand classes. With over half of the US population now incorporating home fitness into their routine, it’s clear that at-home training isn’t just a post-Covid trend. Check out…

A new company, Deep Cogito, has emerged from stealth with a family of openly available AI models that can be switched between “reasoning” and non-reasoning modes. Reasoning models like OpenAI’s o1 have shown great promise in domains like math and physics, thanks to their ability to effectively fact-check themselves by working through complex problems step by step. This reasoning comes at a cost, however: higher computing and latency. That’s why labs like Anthropic are pursuing “hybrid” model architectures that combine reasoning components with standard, non-reasoning elements. Hybrid models can quickly answer simple questions while spending additional time considering more challenging…
