The National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) has just completed a comprehensive test of Chinese and American AI models, with the results showing that models from OpenAI and Anthropic outperformed DeepSeek across 19 different benchmarks . U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick shared the results on X , thanking President Donald Trump for his AI Action Plan to accelerate American AI innovation and infrastructure while encouraging its allies and friendly nations to adopt it.

“The report is clear: DeepSeek lags far behind

The Wi-Fi devices around us constantly share signals between each other, creating a perpetually reverberant environment where these radio waves become borderline spatially aware. Because the signals bounce not only between transmitter and receiver, but also off your walls, furniture, and everything else in your space, they end up carrying information about where things are. This echo-y data is referred to as Wi-Fi CSI (Channel State Information), and while it could previously be used to

Anglo-German autonomous systems specialist Stark has demonstrated its first unmanned surface vessels (USVs). You might more commonly call them sea drones, or drone boats. The new Vanta-4 and Vanta-6, pictured in stealthy black livery, were put through their paces during NATO exercises in Portuguese waters in September. Designed for affordability and mass production, these sensor-packed sea drones are touted as a great solution for monitoring vital undersea cables, which have been easy prey to the Russian

A hilariously ironic AI-generated video is making the rounds online, showing OpenAI CEO Sam Altman getting busted for stealing a GPU from a supermarket. In the clip shared on X , we see an Altman taking a GPU from a shelf at a store that looks like Target. He’s then accosted by a security guy, before protesting “Please, I really need this for Sora inference. This video is too good.” Funnier still is that the video appears to have been

Intel is in the early stages of talks with AMD about making the fabless chip designer an Intel Foundry customer, according to a report from Semafor .

The report, citing "people familiar with the matter," doesn't say just how much of AMD's chip manufacturing would move to Intel. The company currently fabs its chips at TSMC. (Intel fabs some products at TSMC, too.)

In the past several weeks, Intel has seen a flurry of activity and investments

As the world's largest foundry, TSMC runs dozens of fabs and consumes an enormous amount of electricity — around 9% of Taiwan's total power consumption. Last month, in an effort to reduce costs and meet sustainability goals, the company launched its EUV Dynamic Energy Saving Program, which is designed to cut the power consumption of its EUV lithography tools.

Starting in Sept. 2025, TSMC has been gradually rolling out its EUV Dynamic Energy Saving Program at its Fabs

It's well established by now that Apple's chip designs are really fast in single-threaded performance, as well as exceedingly power-efficient. Both the M4 Max in the Mac Studio and the A19 Pro ensconced in the iPhone Pro have been widely praised, but things have been quiet for a while on the iPad front, until today. A presumable M5 chip showed up in GeekBench, hitting a single-thread score of 4,133 points

Microsoft is significantly restructuring its Xbox Game Pass subscription service, and whether these changes are viewed as beneficial or detrimental depends on individual perspectives. The reality of the situation is that gamers will face a price increase of up to 50% for Game Pass Ultimate and roughly 38% for PC Game Pass plans.

Remember when the Game Pass Ultimate tier used to cost $16.99 before Microsoft increased it to $19.99 last year? It appears that the

Samsung and SK hynix have inked preliminary agreements to supply memory to OpenAI’s massive Stargate data center initiative, reports Reuters . Instead of actual tested and packaged DRAM chips or HBM stacks, the companies will supply Stargate undiced wafers, according to Bloomberg , which highlights the vast volumes of memory and other components that Stargate needs. For now, it looks like Stargate could consume nearly half of global DRAM output.

Both Samsung and SK Hynix confirmed that OpenAI's anticipated demand could grow to 9
