A plain-English guide to Perplexity AI: what the answer engine does, how Search, Deep Research and Perplexity Computer work, how it compares with Google and ChatGPT, and where its cited answers and agentic workflows still need checking.
A practical, source-backed comparison of OpenAI Codex and Anthropic Claude Code, covering local CLI versus cloud-worker architecture, workflow feel, cost/token efficiency and Codex OAuth advantages for OpenClaw and Hermes.
Anthropic has launched Claude Opus 4.8 with stronger coding and agentic workflow claims, unchanged standard API pricing, cheaper fast mode and new controls for how much effort Claude applies to a task.
Claude Mythos Preview is Anthropic's restricted frontier model for AI-assisted cybersecurity. This explainer breaks down what it is, how Project Glasswing works, what the reported data shows and why the bottleneck is shifting from finding vulnerabilities to fixing them.
Anthropic says Project Glasswing and Claude Mythos Preview have surfaced more than 10,000 high- or critical-severity vulnerabilities across critical software. The signal is serious, but the bottleneck is shifting from finding bugs to validating, disclosing and patching them safely.
OpenAI's ChatGPT personal finance experience is a U.S. Pro preview that connects financial accounts through Plaid, creates a money dashboard and lets users ask ChatGPT questions grounded in their own financial context. The useful part is personalised insight. The hard part is trust, privacy and knowing where AI stops short of professional advice.
Andrej Karpathy says he has joined Anthropic, giving the Claude maker one of the field's best-known AI researchers at a moment when frontier labs are fighting for pre-training talent, research judgement and ways to make model development more efficient.
Google Gemini Omni is a new multimodal model family that starts with video: it can take text, images, audio and video as input, then create or edit video through natural language. The first release, Gemini Omni Flash, is rolling out through Gemini, Google Flow and YouTube Shorts, with API access planned later.
