Artificial intelligence firm Anthropic has announced the rollout of a new Voice Mode feature for its Claude chatbot, enabling real-time spoken interactions on mobile devices. The update, currently in beta, will be available in the coming weeks for users of the Claude mobile app on both iOS and Android platforms. The move brings Claude in…
Artificial intelligence (AI) going rogue has been the stuff of dystopic science fiction. Could fiction be giving way to fact, with several AI models reportedly disobeying explicit instructions to shut down when a third-party tester asked them to? On a recent test done by Palisade Research, the most glaring refusenik belonged to OpenAI, with some…
With tech news coming in thick and fast all week, it can be hard to keep track of all the updates. To help the readers stay updated, we’ve compiled the Weekly Tech Recap, where we take a stock of the biggest developments from the world of technology. Without further ado, let’s dive into the top…
Google’s strategy includes integrating its advanced Gemini AI model into its Android app and focusing on vernacular language support to engage a largely untapped market, the head of its DeepMind research division in India told Mint, even as it lags behind its competitors in appealing to developers in India and around the world. Manish Gupta,…
The future of manual coding is reportedly under threat from generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), automated AI agentic systems and vibe coding (where programmers rarely review code). Is the outlook for humans that dire? What should we do to stay relevant? Why this concern over AI-assisted coding? A Harvard Business Review study found a 20% drop…

Amazon-backed Anthropic has launched its latest language model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, taking on the likes of ChatGPT and DeepSeek. Anthropic also took its first steps towards AI agents with a new tool for developers called Claude Code. Notably, Claude has moved away from the traditional narrative of having a pre-trained model and an independent reasoning…
Mr Altman’s prediction taps into an established school of thought. As large language models first gained popularity in the early 2020s, economists and bosses were hopeful that they, and other AI tools, would level the playing field, with lower-skilled workers benefiting most. Software capable of handling tasks such as protein-folding and poetry-writing would surely democratise…
DeepSeek has sent Silicon Valley into a panic by proving you could build powerful artificial intelligence (AI) on a shoestring budget. In some respects, it was too good to be true. Recent testing has shown that DeepSeek’s AI models are more vulnerable to manipulation than those of its more expensive competitors from Silicon Valley. That…
The Center for AI Safety (CAIS) and Scale AI collaborated to create what they called ‘Humanity’s Last Exam,’ a test stuffed with 3,000 PhD-level questions from mathematics, humanities and life sciences. A new Turing Test for the age of AI, only three models got scores close to 10%: OpenAI o1, Google’s Gemini 2, and an…
