Ask.com, the search engine and question-and-answer service formerly known as Ask Jeeves, has shut down. Ask Jeeves first launched in 1996 and, with its focus on answering conversational questions posed in natural language, was arguably a precursor to today’s AI-powered chatbots. For most of its 30-year history, however, it’s been overshadowed by other search products,…

Audiences should wait a couple of months longer to see “Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew,” with the discharge date pushed again from Thanksgiving to February 12, 2027. Along with relaunching “Narnia” on massive screens and serving as writer-director Greta Gerwig’s first movie since “Barbie,” “The Magician’s Nephew” additionally appears like the following step in Netflix’s relationship…
AI dictation apps have come a long way in a short time. For years they were slow and inaccurate — unless you spoke with a particular accent and enunciated clearly. Advances in large language models (LLMs) and speech-to-text models have changed that, producing systems that can decipher speech more accurately while retaining enough context to…
In this tutorial, we take a deep dive into nanobot, the ultra-lightweight personal AI agent framework from HKUDS that packs full agent capabilities into roughly 4,000 lines of Python. Rather than simply installing and running it out of the box, we crack open the hood and manually recreate each of its core subsystems, the agent…
As Google integrates AI capabilities across its product suite, a new technical entity has surfaced in server logs: Google-Agent. For software devs, understanding this entity is critical for distinguishing between automated indexers and real-time, user-initiated requests. Unlike the autonomous crawlers that have defined the web for decades, Google-Agent operates under a different set of rules…
The team from Bluesky has built another app — and this time, it’s not a social network, but an AI assistant that allows you to design your own algorithm, create custom feeds, and, one day, vibe-code your own app. At the Atmosphere conference over the weekend, Bluesky’s former CEO, Jay Graber, now chief innovation officer,…
Mistral AI has released Voxtral TTS, an open-weight text-to-speech model that marks the company’s first major move into audio generation. Following the release of its transcription and language models, Mistral is now providing the final ‘output layer’ of the audio stack, positioning itself as a direct competitor to proprietary voice APIs in the developer ecosystem….
While the relationship between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg was once thorny enough that Musk challenged Zuckerberg to a cagefight, things had warmed up by the early days of the second Trump administration — at least according to court documents published Friday. As reported by Engadget, these texts between Zuckerberg and Musk were released as…
