Joe Maring / Android AuthorityTL;DR Google has released new October builds for the Pixel line. The tech giant has yet to say what these builds are for. The update is available for the Pixel 7 and up. Google released the October 2025 update in the middle of the second week of the month. While it meant that we had to wait a few extra days, that’s not uncommon. Something a little less common is that the tech giant is now sending out another October build as we await the November 2025 update. Don’t want to miss the best from Android…

The rise of AI marks a critical shift away from decades defined by information-chasing and a push for more and more compute power. Canva co-founder and CPO Cameron Adams refers to this dawning time as the “imagination era.” Meaning: Individuals and enterprises must be able to turn creativity into action with AI.  Canva hopes to position itself at the center of this shift with a sweeping new suite of tools. The company’s new Creative Operating System (COS) integrates AI across every layer of content creation, creating a single, comprehensive creativity platform rather than a simple, template-based design tool.“We’re entering a new era…

After completing its restructuring into a for-profit corporate entity this week, Reuters reports that OpenAI is already setting plans into motion to become a publicly traded company. The move will almost certainly skyrocket the ChatGPT maker’s already colossal touted value. Three people familiar with the matter told the outlet that the Sam Altman-led company is preparing for an initial public offering that could push its worth as high as $1 trillion — showing that it expects to have…

Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test. Corsair Novablade Pro: One-minute reviewI’ve spent the past week testing the Corsair Novablade Pro, and I’ve come away extremely impressed with this leverless fighting game controller. Like the more budget-friendly 8BitDo Arcade Controller and other contenders for the best fight stick, there’s no traditional joystick here; opting instead for a pure button layout that handles everything from movement to motion inputs.What’s immediately striking about the Novablade Pro is its…

A new training framework developed by researchers at Tencent AI Lab and Washington University in St. Louis enables large language models (LLMs) to improve themselves without requiring any human-labeled data. The technique, called R-Zero, uses reinforcement learning to generate its own training data from scratch, addressing one of the main bottlenecks in creating self-evolving AI systems. R-Zero works by having two independent models co-evolve by interacting with and challenging each other.Experiments show that R-Zero substantially improves reasoning capabilities across different LLMs, which could lower the complexity and costs of training advanced AI. For enterprises, this approach could accelerate the development of specialized models for complex…

I dug out my old Xbox 360 and decided to give it a go just to see how it still runs. Unsurprisingly, it was very slow at first, maybe because I hadn’t used it in years, but once it got past the initial loading, it was smooth sailing. With an Xbox Series X and backwards compatibility, I don’t have many reasons to use my 360 anymore, but it’s still fun to mess around with old hardware every now and then. As it turns out, the Xbox 360 is a lot older than I thought. I upgraded to AT&T Fiber for…

Enterprises, eager to ensure any AI models they use adhere to safety and safe-use policies, fine-tune LLMs so they do not respond to unwanted queries. However, much of the safeguarding and red teaming happens before deployment, “baking in” policies before users fully test the models’ capabilities in production. OpenAI believes it can offer a more flexible option for enterprises and encourage more companies to bring in safety policies. The company has released two open-weight models under research preview that it believes will make enterprises and models more flexible in terms of safeguards. gpt-oss-safeguard-120b and gpt-oss-safeguard-20b will be available on a permissive Apache…

Silver Spring, USA/ Maryland, October 30th, 2025, CyberNewsWire The new capabilities, anchored by Blended Identity and the MCP Identity Gateway, give enterprises a secure and auditable way to manage how AI agents identify themselves and access sensitive systems. Aembit today announced the launch of Aembit Identity and Access Management (IAM) for Agentic AI, a set of capabilities that help organizations safely provide and enforce access policies for AI agents as they move into production. The release introduces Blended Identity, which defines how AI agents act on behalf of verified users, and the MCP Identity Gateway, which ensures secure access to…

OnePlus has set the OnePlus 15’s global debut for November 13, 2025, with faster performance, smarter software, and clearer photos, all wrapped in a cleaner-looking design. As the phone has already been revealed in China, we know a lot about what’s coming. But it’s still great to get a firm date when we’ll know all the region-specific details. The standout spec of the phone, at least the Chinese version, is the huge 7300mAh battery – a massive upgrade over the 6000mAh cell in the OnePlus 13. There is a chance this size could change in the move across regions, but…

Microsoft has been phasing out the Control Panel in favor of the Settings app since 2012. But more than a decade later, it’s still in no hurry to disappear. The Control Panel is still necessary for many system-critical features that are not available in the new Settings app. Remove the Control Panel, and all of a sudden, we don’t have essential features like restore points, advanced power options, File History, User Account Control settings, and the disk management tool. No matter how much Microsoft tries to hide the legacy app, it’s still necessary for the proper functioning of the computer.…
