A brain-computer interface reads electrical signals directly from the brain and translates them into commands for computers or devices — letting people control technology by thought alone. Here is how it works and where the technology stands.
Read more →Meta's non-invasive AI system converts MEG brain recordings into typed text at 61% word accuracy — a seven-fold leap over prior non-invasive approaches and a step toward surgery-free brain-computer interfaces.
Read more →An AI benchmark is a standardized test used to compare how capable different AI models are. Here's what the major ones measure — and why the scores don't always tell the full story.
Read more →OpenAI has released GeneBench-Pro, a 129-problem benchmark that tests whether AI agents can exercise the judgment-intensive analytical reasoning required for real-world computational biology research.

Google has released Gemini Omni Flash in public preview, a multimodal AI model that generates and edits short videos through natural-language conversation, available via the Gemini API at $0.10 per second of output.
Read more →Chinese technology company Meituan has released LongCat-2.0, a 1.6-trillion-parameter coding model trained entirely on domestic Chinese chips, under the MIT License — the first frontier-class open-source model built without Western semiconductors.
Read more →Open-weight AI models release their trained parameters publicly so anyone can download, run, or fine-tune them — unlike closed models such as GPT-4 or Gemini, which are accessible only through paid APIs. Here is what that difference means in practice.
Read more →GLM-5.2, released on June 16 by Beijing startup Z.ai, sits alongside Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 on coding benchmarks while carrying an API price roughly one-sixth that of closed US models.
Read more →A 40-member UN scientific panel released the first independent global AI assessment on July 1, warning that current safeguards cannot keep pace with the technology and that benefits risk widening global inequality.
Read more →Anthropic's new Claude Science workbench integrates over 60 scientific databases and tools into a unified AI environment for life sciences researchers, launching in beta on June 30, 2026.
Read more →AI reasoning models think through problems step-by-step before answering, making them far more accurate on math, coding, and complex tasks — but slower and costlier than standard models.
Read more →AI safety is the research field focused on making sure AI systems behave as intended and don't cause unintended harm. Here's what that means in practice — and why governments and labs are racing to get it right.
Read more →AI red-teaming is the practice of deliberately trying to break an AI model before it ships — so the real vulnerabilities get found first. Here's how it works and why every major AI lab relies on it.
Read more →Google has pushed its flagship Gemini 3.5 Pro model from June to July 2026, while a Nobel Prize winner and three other senior researchers departed for OpenAI and Anthropic in the same week.
Read more →AI is transforming how scientists search literature, analyze data, and write up results. Here is what the tools can do today and where to start.
Read more →Anthropic released Claude Science in beta on June 30, an integrated environment connecting AI to 60+ scientific databases and lab compute for biomedical and life sciences research.
Read more →Claude is an AI assistant developed by Anthropic, built on a safety-first training approach and available through the web, mobile apps, and a developer API.
Read more →OpenAI on June 22 expanded its Daybreak security program with GPT-5.5-Cyber, a model designed to detect and patch code vulnerabilities, and launched Patch the Planet to harden over 30 major open-source projects.
Read more →Anthropic's June 2026 Economic Index links real Claude session data to a direct survey of 9,700 users, finding roughly half say AI already handles 50 percent or more of their work tasks — and more than one-third expect automation to cover most of their job within a year.
Read more →OpenAI is the American AI research company that built ChatGPT and the GPT family of models. Here's what it does, how it's structured, and why it shapes the direction of AI development.
Read more →A large language model is the AI technology behind ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and most modern AI assistants — this guide explains how it works and why it matters.
