Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched Nova Premier, its most advanced AI model to date, via Amazon Bedrock. Designed for enterprise use, the model targets complex, multi-step workflows and supports model distillation, enabling smaller models to inherit its capabilities with improved efficiency and reduced cost. Nova Premier can handle text, image, and long-form video inputs with a one-million-token context window (equivalent to around 750,000 words) and will support over 200 languages, according to an AWS blog. Nova Premier’s applications would span financial analysis, software automation, and agentic tasks involving orchestration across tools and data layers, AWS said. According to Deepika [...]
A few years ago, Microsoft HoloLens and Magic Leap promised a future of groundbreaking visual experiences that blend digital and real worlds. While the headsets were bulky, expensive, and proprietary — and, in fact, both products are dying slow deaths — the demos got the public used to the idea that the future of augmented reality would be wild and filled with 3D visual content. HoloLens projected interactive 3D holograms into users’ environments, allowing them to manipulate these holograms with natural hand gestures, eye tracking, and voice commands. Public demos showed fighting virtual robots in the living room and giant [...]
A handful of dominant AI companies have been quietly manipulating one of the most influential public leaderboards for chatbot models, potentially distorting perceptions of model performance and undermining open competition, according to a new study. The research, titled “The Leaderboard Illusion,” was published by a team of experts from Cohere Labs, Stanford University, Princeton University, and other institutions. It scrutinized the operations of Chatbot Arena, a widely used public platform that allows users to compare generative AI models through pairwise voting on model responses to user prompts. The study revealed that major tech firms — including Meta, Google, and OpenAI [...]
As it stands to potentially lose ad revenue after being ruled a monopoly, and also to maintain an edge in the digital ad space as generative AI use soars, Google is purportedly now injecting ads into third party chatbot conversations. It’s not a surprising move, particularly given Google’s antitrust loss that could eventually lead to the breakup of its ad business (although there are likely years of appeals to come before any tangible changes). The tech giant is also in fierce competition with the likes of OpenAI, Perplexity, Meta, Microsoft, Salesforce, and a slew of others to get enterprise users [...]
Google is making changes to its venerable search interface so users can more naturally interact with its AI features. “AI Mode,” a project brewing in Google’s Search Labs, will slowly roll out to general users within the company’s current search interface. (A new “AI Mode” tab will appear alongside its search box.) “With AI Mode, you can truly ask Search anything — from complex explanations about tech and electronics to comparisons that help with really specific tasks, like assessing insurance options for a new pet,” Soufi Esmaeilzadeh, director of product management for Google’s search products, said in a blog post. The [...]
What is an AI PC? Unlike traditional computers, an artificial intelligence PC, or AI PC, comes with AI capabilities built in by design. AI runs locally, right on the machine, allowing it to essentially learn, adapt, reason and problem-solve without having to connect to the cloud. This greatly increases the performance, efficiency and security of computing while enhancing user experience. How are AI PCs different from traditional PCs? Traditional PCs run on CPUs and GPUs (but most PCs use an integrated CPU for everyday tasks), and their essential components include a motherboard, input devices like keyboards and mice, long-term storage, [...]

Apple’s salad days are over. The company sits on the precipice of reinvention, and may become even more inward-facing in response to a damning US court judgement that may yet see it face criminal charges for contempt of court. US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has ruled that Apple wilfully violated a 2021 court injunction that required it to change some of its business practices in terms of permitting developers to offer customers ways to purchase digital products outside of Apple’s App Store. ‘Will not be tolerated’ The judge told the company to stop preventing developers from sharing external purchasing [...]
Microsoft had an early software hit when it released Office for Windows 3.0 nearly 35 years ago. The graphical user interface got users away from command-line interfaces and into a new world of productivity. Since then, the company has kept up with the changing way people work. Office 365 (now Microsoft 365) was its adaptation to the collaborative era of the cloud. And now, another major transition is under way — into the generative AI (genAI) era, with Copilot at the center of the strategy to work smarter. Microsoft is positioning Copilot as a tool (or series of tools) for [...]
Microsoft 365 (and Office 365) subscribers get more frequent software updates than those who have purchased Office without a subscription, which means subscribers have access to the latest features, security patches, and bug fixes. But it can be hard to keep track of the changes in each update and know when they’re available. We’re doing this for you, so you don’t have to. Following are summaries of the updates to Microsoft 365/Office 365 for Windows over the past year, with the latest releases shown first. We’ll add info about new updates as they’re rolled out. Note: This story covers updates [...]
