The vibe coding tool Cursor, from startup Anysphere, has introduced Composer, its first in-house, proprietary coding large language model (LLM) as part of its Cursor 2.0 platform update. Composer is designed to execute coding tasks quickly and accurately in production-scale environments, representing a new step in AI-assisted programming. It's already being used by Cursor’s own engineering staff in day-to-day development — indicating maturity and stability.According to Cursor, Composer completes most interactions in less than 30 seconds while maintaining a high level of reasoning ability across large and complex codebases. The model is described as four times faster than similarly intelligent…

Kratos Defense will utilize the Hermeus high-speed Quarterhorse aircraft as part of its support work for the U.S. Navy and Missile Defense Agency’s Multi-Service Advanced Capabilities Hypersonic Testbed (MACH-TB) program. The rapid expansion of the Kratos Defense hypersonic test team follows the award of a $1.45 billion contract in January 2025 to support the MACH-TB program—a five-year initiative. The remotely piloted Quarterhorse Mk. 2 will be able to reach about mach 2.5 supersonic speeds. The demonstrator is currently undergoing integrated systems testing following installation of its Pratt & Whitney F100-229 engine. The MACH-TB team does include Stratolaunch’s air-launched, reusable Talon-A…

At the beginning of this month, Google unveiled Gemini for Home, alongside a bunch of devices for the home. Today, Gemini for Home has started rolling out in the US, but there’s a catch.

To do this, go to Google Groups settings > Global Settings, and make sure “Add me to their groups” is checked. Then go to the Google Home app, tap your profile picture or…

When researchers at Anthropic injected the concept of "betrayal" into their Claude AI model's neural networks and asked if it noticed anything unusual, the system paused before responding: "Yes, I detect an injected thought about betrayal."The exchange, detailed in new research published Wednesday, marks what scientists say is the first rigorous evidence that large language models possess a limited but genuine ability to observe and report on their own internal processes — a capability that challenges longstanding assumptions about what these systems can do and raises profound questions about their future development."The striking thing is that the model has this…

I find car heads-up displays (HUDs) really convenient and helpful, but my car doesn’t have one. Thankfully, the HUD Speedometer Speed Monitor app on my phone creates a HUD for my vehicle. Its free version provides everything I need to glance at essential information quickly. This app transforms your standard car windscreen into an information hub, enabling you to check your speed, navigation, and phone status without distraction. Some of these functionalities are also available in the Android Auto console (though they may require you to change Android Auto developer settings). But projecting the information from the HUD onto the…
