OpenAI’s new GPT-5.5 model most likely to release today

By Rishaj Upadhyay | April 23, 2026

Key Highlights: OpenAI has been launching its in-house AI models one after another this week.

Anthropic is Working on its Always-On AI Agent, Conway, with New UI Extensions

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 21, 2026

The latest reports about Anthropic’s experimental agent point to a major change in how AI systems are built and used. Instead of waiting for you to assign a task, this new system looks designed to work along in the background, keeping an eye on inputs and acting on it when needed.

It’s not stuck in endless chat windows, instead, it can run ongoing workflows. Even though Anthropic hasn’t officially announced it yet, the details point to a shot at reinventing […]

Here’s How Anthropic-Amazon’s $5 Billion Deal Could Reshape the Future of AI Market

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 21, 2026

With this latest $5 billion deal, the company is making a huge statement in the global AI race. According to reports, Amazon had already put around $8 billion into Anthropic, so the total could hit $25 billion if certain targets are met.

These two companies are now deeply dependent on each other’s success. This kind of partnership points to a bigger change: it’s not just about building smarter algorithms anymore, […]

Adobe Bets on AI Agents Aiming to Improve Business Workflows; This Is How

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 21, 2026

With the AI race getting more intense, Adobe is shifting away from being just a maker of creative and marketing tools. Now, it wants to power autonomous digital labour. Its latest announcement makes their new direction clear: instead of just adding AI features to its software, Adobe is building systems that can do business tasks themselves. The heart of this move is the introduction of AI “agents” designed to plan, coordinate, and get things done across many workflows, basically acting as digital co workers. This is a symptom of a much bigger shift happening in enterprise tech. The old way […]

Scientists Stimulated a Fruit Fly’s Brain Inside an AI System and Succeeded; Are Human Brains Next?

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 20, 2026

A team of researchers did just that, starting small. The idea was to take a brain, map it neuron by neuron, and run that map inside a machine. They recreated a fruit fly brain, plugged it into a digital body, and watched as the virtual insect behaved like the real thing. There weren’t any separate lines of code for every behaviour, the digital fly’s actions came straight from simulated neural activity. It navigated its environment, reacted to what it saw, and acted in a way that looked similar to a real fly. At its core, this experiment marks a major […]

Meta to Cut Off 10% of its Workforce in New Round of Layoffs

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 19, 2026

This announcement is huge for the tech industry. Growth isn’t just about adding more people, it’s about how efficiently companies can work and what kind of technology they use. Meta’s decision to launch another round of layoffs, despite reporting strong financial results, shows there’s a bigger transformation happening across the sector. AI is taking center stage as the backbone of future operations. Just a few years back, Meta went through its “year of efficiency” and cut tens of thousands of jobs. Now, they’re reshaping the team again, but this time, it seems more strategic than reactive. It’s not just about […]

Sam Altman’s Project World is Expanding its Human Verification System But What Is It Really?

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 19, 2026

Key Highlights: The internet has always struggled to figure out who’s real and who’s not, but now that AI-generated profiles are everywhere, the issue’s gotten worse. There are convincing synthetic identities that act just like real people everywhere. Sam Altman’s World project sees itself as the fix, aiming to build a universal system to separate humans from machines. The newest step is to plug World ID into Tinder, one of the biggest dating platforms out there. Tinder’s betting that World ID verification is the way to cut down on fake accounts and rebuild trust among its users. The tech is […]

Anthropic’s Meeting with the White House: Who Sets the Limits for AI?

By Devanshi Kashyap | April 19, 2026

A major AI executive heading to the White House is not a novelty but a sign of where power is moving. When Dario Amodei showed up for the high-level talks, the question wasn’t just about the technology, it was about who’s actually in control. AI is gradually becoming a tool for geopolitics, and companies like Anthropic find themselves negotiating directly with governments about how far their technology should reach. Right at the center of these talks is a new version of AI models: systems that can pinpoint vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure with incredible accuracy. That kind of power is a […]
