SpaceX is moving closer to another major test of the most ambitious rocket ever developed by the company. The target is Starship Flight 14 — a mission that could take place in early to mid-September 2026 and would mark the first orbital flight attempt using SpaceX’s upgraded Version 3 configuration. This is more than another rocket launch. SpaceX Is Getting Ready for a Defining Starship Mission Starship is central to SpaceX’s long-term plans for dramatically increasing the number of spacecraft launched into orbit, supporting NASA’s lunar ambitions and eventually enabling missions to Mars. But before any of that happens, SpaceX…
OpenAI is quietly expanding ChatGPT beyond conversations and coding. The company has acquired NextSlide, a startup focused on using artificial intelligence to turn prompts, notes, documents and research into polished, editable presentations. NextSlide’s team is now working at OpenAI on ChatGPT-related products, according to TechCrunch. The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Founder Ahmed Beshry said the deal was actually completed earlier this year, with the public announcement arriving months later. The acquisition may look small compared with OpenAI’s larger moves in artificial intelligence, but the technology behind NextSlide points toward a much bigger ambition: turning ChatGPT into…
Microsoft is quietly pushing Xbox toward a future where the word “console” may no longer describe a single piece of hardware. The company has been expanding its strategy beyond the traditional battle between Xbox and PlayStation, bringing more games to other platforms while simultaneously developing new hardware. The result is a very different Xbox from the one Microsoft built around the original console wars. For decades, buying an Xbox meant choosing a specific machine. You bought the console, connected it to your television and built your gaming library around Microsoft’s ecosystem. That model is changing. Microsoft has increasingly focused on…
Një robot humanoid është bërë viral në internet pasi humbi kontrollin gjatë një prove vrapimi në Beijing dhe u përplas me një barrierë sigurie. Videoja, e publikuar në rrjetet sociale më 20 gusht, ka kaluar 13 milionë shikime, ndërsa pamjet tregojnë robotin duke u përplasur me forcë dhe duke nxjerrë shkëndija pas goditjes. Raportimi i videos nuk është verifikuar në mënyrë të pavarur dhe prodhuesi i robotit nuk është konfirmuar. Por pikërisht këtu fillon historia interesante. Ngjarja ndodhi në prag të World Humanoid Robot Games 2026, që nis në Beijing më 22 gusht dhe mbledh 2,056 robotë, 666 ekipe dhe…
The next big technology shortage may not be a new processor or a missing graphics card. It could be something far less glamorous: memory. The global technology industry is entering another uncomfortable period for hardware buyers as demand for memory chips accelerates, driven in large part by the enormous computing requirements of artificial intelligence. The pressure is already being felt across the supply chain, and analysts warn that higher memory costs could eventually reach the products consumers buy every day. For years, RAM was one of those components most people rarely thought about. When buying a laptop or smartphone, consumers…
Apple Has a Bigger Problem Than Making Another iPhone For years, Apple’s biggest question was remarkably simple: What will the next iPhone look like? That question is becoming less important. The smartphone market has matured. Modern phones are already incredibly powerful, cameras are excellent, displays are spectacular and yearly hardware upgrades are becoming harder to justify. The next major technology battle is happening somewhere else. Artificial intelligence. And Apple now has to prove that it can compete in a world where Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and a growing number of AI companies are moving extremely fast. Apple has already entered that…
Over the past few days, some of the filmmaking world’s most recognizable creators have found themselves at the center of a debate that has little to do with cameras and almost everything to do with artificial intelligence. Matti Haapoja and Sam “Kold” Kolder published videos showcasing what they could create with Higgsfield, an AI video platform that recently added ByteDance’s Seedance 2.5. The demonstrations were impressive. They were also controversial. And that combination is exactly why this story matters. AI video has reached a point where the technology itself is no longer the only story. The bigger question is becoming…
Something unusual is happening in Beijing this weekend. Thousands of humanoid robots are gathering for a competition that looks, at first glance, like a futuristic version of the Olympics. They will run, jump, play football, lift weights, compete in table tennis and even pull against each other in tug-of-war. But behind the spectacle is a much bigger technology story. The second World Humanoid Robot Games opens in Beijing on August 22, bringing together 2,056 robots from 666 teams across 16 countries and regions. The five-day event will feature 51 events and more than 1,300 competition sessions. And this year, the…
