After releasing the stable iOS 26.1 and iPadOS 26.1 updates for the public, Apple has now seeded new iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2 betas to developers. The iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2 beta 1 updates are available for registered developers on compatible iPhone and iPad models. Developers will need to head to the Settings app to download and install the betas. While Apple has provided a changelog for the new beta updates, it doesn’t include any major new features. The beta updates mostly include bug fixes and system improvements. Apple is likely to release the public betas of iOS 26.2…

Enterprise AI has a data problem. Despite billions in investment and increasingly capable language models, most organizations still can't answer basic analytical questions about their document repositories. The culprit isn't model quality but architecture: Traditional retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems were designed to retrieve and summarize, not analyze and aggregate across large document sets.Snowflake is tackling this limitation head-on with a comprehensive platform strategy announced at its BUILD 2025 conference. The company unveiled Snowflake Intelligence, an enterprise intelligence agent platform designed to unify structured and unstructured data analysis, along with infrastructure improvements spanning data integration with Openflow, database consolidation with…

Last month, OpenAI brought its Sora video-generation app to iOS. Now, the company has rolled it out to Android users. Sora is currently available to download from the Google Play Store. Users in Canada, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and the US can try out the app on their Android phones. The app can generate videos from text prompts and images. It also supports collaboration, offers multiple video styles to choose from, lets users remix others’ creations, and includes community features to share and discover content. OpenAI also recently announced that users in select regions can now access Sora without…

When the transformer architecture was introduced in 2017 in the now seminal Google paper "Attention Is All You Need," it became an instant cornerstone of modern artificial intelligence. Every major large language model (LLM) — from OpenAI's GPT series to Anthropic's Claude, Google's Gemini, and Meta's Llama — has been built on some variation of its central mechanism: attention, the mathematical operation that allows a model to look back across its entire input and decide what information matters most.Eight years later, the same mechanism that defined AI’s golden age is now showing its limits. Attention is powerful, but it is…

Elephant trunks and garden hoses hardly seem like inspirations for a miniature 3D bioprinter.Yet they’ve led scientists at McGill University to engineer the smallest reported bioprinting head to date. Described in the journal Devices, the device has a flexible tip just 2.7 millimeters in diameter—roughly the length of a sesame seed.Bioprinters can deposit a wide range of healing materials directly at the site of injury. Some bioinks combat infections in lab studies; others deliver chemotherapy to cancerous sites, which could prevent tumors from recurring. On the operating table, biocompatible hydrogels injected during surgery help heal wounds.The devices are promising but…

Samsung Galaxy XR: Two-minute reviewI think I finally understand why Apple’s Vision Pro costs so darn much. The Samsung Galaxy XR delivers moments of beauty and inspiration, but it’s also stuffed full of disappointment, from the sound of fans on your face to imprecision of gestures to a total lack of ‘wow’ apps and experiences.Yes, Gemini is in there, and I spent a lot of time with it riding…

If you’re anything like me, you probably have a drawer full of tangled cables. But despite owning multiple charging cables, the constant issue I had was juggling three or four cables to keep everything powered. It’s messy, frustrating, and has caught me off guard in multiple instances when I’m away but don’t have an appropriate cable to top up a certain device, whether it’s my phone, power bank, headphones, earbuds, or feature phone. That’s why finding a cable that charges nearly everything I own felt like hitting the tech jackpot. Nowadays, I no longer rummage through drawers or carry a…

I am a big fan of the LG StanbyME line. These monitors blur the lines between monitors and TVs, offering a more seamless experience with wireless capabilities. They are fantastic, especially if you can get them on sale. Today, the LG StanbyME 27-inch Portable Monitor is at a record-low price, saving you $203! Buy the LG StanbyMe 27-Inch Portable Monitor for just $796.99 ($203 off)This offer is available from Amazon as a “limited time deal.” This is the first-generation LG StanbyME, but it is by no means an outdated monitor. The LG StanbyMe 27-inch Portable Monitor remains a great option,…

The intelligence of AI models isn't what's blocking enterprise deployments. It's the inability to define and measure quality in the first place.That's where AI judges are now playing an increasingly important role. In AI evaluation, a "judge" is an AI system that scores outputs from another AI system. Judge Builder is Databricks' framework for creating judges and was first deployed as part of the company's Agent Bricks technology earlier this year. The framework has evolved significantly since its initial launch in response to direct user feedback and deployments.Early versions focused on technical implementation but customer feedback revealed the real bottleneck was…

Investors are increasingly becoming concerned that AI companies may be grossly overvalued — and could struggle to justify their enormous hype by successfully ratcheting up profits. So it’s naturally alarming that shares of AI industry stalwarts, including Oracle, Nvidia, AMD, and Amazon, fell sharply on Tuesday, following concerns over enormous valuations that have propped up the entire US economy for months now. AI chipmaker Nvidia’s shares dipped just shy of four percent, while competitor AMD’s slid just under three percent today. Software giant Palantir was hit hardest, dropping over nine percent, despite beating Wall Street expectations with its Q3 earnings.…
