New Delhi: Google DeepMind and Google Research have introduced an AI-based model of weather forecasting called WeatherNext 2 that will provide improved forecasting with increased speed, accuracy, and resolution of weather systems on a global scale. The new system will deliver eight times quicker predictions and resolve within an hour, which is a significant improvement over the old-fashioned physics-based models that take hours on supercomputers. As weather can affect flight operations and even their day-to-day commuting, Google argues that the new model will enable agencies and users to make plans with certainty. WeatherNext 2 is currently leaving the research laboratories and coming into actual practice. It already adds its forecast data to Earth Engine, Google Search, Gemini, Pixel Weather and Google Maps Platform through its Weather API. Google Cloud Vertex AI also has an early access program that will enable developers to run custom model inference to expand real applications...
New Delhi: Nominations have been announced, and the huge French fantasy RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the nominee with the most nominations of the year, with 12 nominations. This year’s lineup was announced on November 17 and is a striking combination of blockbuster hits and excellent indie projects. The event will be held at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles on December 11 of every year, where the best creators and performers in the industry will be honoured. Expedition 33 does more than just top the key categories like Game of the Year and Best Game Direction but also glows by being nominated in three categories of performance by Charlie Cox, Ben Starr, and Jennifer English. It is also one of the most competitive years in recent memory, as other big names, such as Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Hades II, and Hollow Knight: Silksong, have also laid their hands on positions in various categories.

New Delhi: A new Android app, LibrePods, is finally unlocking AirPods and AirPods Pro features, which were formerly reserved only for iPhones, iPads, and Macs. The open-source and free tool has made it possible to take advantage of advanced features such as ANC modes, ear detection, gesture controls, and detailed battery statistics, which were not available or restricted on Android. To the millions of users of AirPods who use non-Apple, this is a significant move towards breaking down the Apple ecosystem wall. Android phone users are required to root their phones in order to have the complete package of features. When you are without root, then there are only a few choices, unless you are using OPPO or OnePlus, which have a few extras. Nevertheless, LibrePods is much more than its predecessor community-based efforts such as OpenPods, giving it more customisation and revealing the secrets of Apple ecosystem accessibility that would otherwise be locked away. What LibrePods unlocks on...
New Delhi: Jeff Bezos has officially returned to the world of working leadership with a new AI startup, Project Prometheus, which is aimed at bringing new AI to the real world of working with physical objects. The New York Times reports that Bezos will be a co-CEO at the company, as that will be his first known leadership position since leaving Amazon as CEO in 2021. The firm enters with an enormous capital base of $6.2 billion in capital, and a big part of this capital is funded by Bezos himself. This has already given the startup a staff of almost 100 employees, several of whom have been stolen out of large AI labs, including OpenAI, DeepMind and Meta. Project Prometheus is meant to address fields such as robotics, drug discovery and scientific research based on the AI systems being able to learn not only by reading the text but also by direct interaction with the real world. In Project Prometheus, Bezos will be co-leader of the company with Vik Bajaj, who has the experience of...
New Delhi: Elon Musk believes the world will become a better place by having the Tesla humanoid robot, Optimus, which will transform global healthcare by providing surgical precision, which surpasses that of humans. Musk appeared at an event sponsored by Baron Capital founder Ron Baron, explaining why the world 's biggest bottleneck in medical care is not money but the small number of highly skilled specialists. Even affluent countries, he held, have a hard time affording the best care due to the fact that skilled surgeons do not grow on trees. Musk is of the opinion that this long-standing shortage can be addressed by advanced medical robots developed and deployed on a large scale. In spite of the fact there is no medical version of Optimus yet, he believes that the way ahead is clear. Human skills and long training periods would be eliminated, as millions of the same, factory-assembled robots would be able to carry out sensitive processes with the same high level of precision....
New Delhi: Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, might retire in the coming year, reported the Financial Times. Individuals conversing in internal discussions assert that Apple will hardly have a successor in its next earnings report toward the end of January, including the all-important holiday quarter. It was announced early in the year that it would give the new leadership time to prepare Apple for some of its biggest annual events, which include the Worldwide Developers Conference in June and the introduction of iPhone 18 in September. It was also reported that the timeline might still be altered. According to the report, the best candidate to replace Cook is John Ternus, the Apple senior vice president of hardware engineering. Nonetheless, it is insider information that no decision has been made. The possible shift is not associated with the performance of Apple at the moment, which is projected to be high during this holiday season. Cook is 65 years old and, as of this month, has managed...
New Delhi: Krafton, the South Korean producer of PUBG, has introduced a voluntary resignation programme as part of a huge shift to becoming an AI-first company. It follows the announcement by Krafton of its long-term AI plans and record levels of third-quarter earnings last week, indicating that the decision is not financially motivated. Although its performance is strong, the company seems to be concerned with creating a workforce that is orientated in the future in which it would be working on automation and a highly detailed infrastructure of AI. Workers in South Korea who are opting in are receiving high exit packages, which are uncharacteristic. Employees of the company who worked not over a year can get an approximation of six months of salary, and those who worked over 11 years can get severance up to three years of salary. According to Krafton, the programme is voluntary, not some shroud of a layoff, but the time and the extent of the benefits are indicative of an in-depth...
New Delhi: Mozilla has entered the quickly expanding AI browser market with AI Window, a new Firefox mode that offers smarter browsing without committing users to a single AI platform. Firefox is combining to establish itself as a browser that values user choice and openness, as Chrome bottlenecks Gemini and Microsoft inserts Copilot into Edge. The feature represents the most AI-focused shift that Mozilla has undertaken so far, and it indicates the company is willing to stay competitive in an industry where AI-enabled user experience is becoming the norm. The appearance of the AI Window at the moment when Mozilla possesses approximately 3% of the market of desktop browsers seems a significant step. As artificial intelligence-powered browsers such as Arc and Perplexity gain traction, Firefox is hoping that adaptability, openness, and privacy will be a draw to the users wanting an escape from the big tech ecosystems. There is an early tester waitlist open in the company, which suggests...

New Delhi: Google has introduced a large-scale set of AI-driven shopping enhancements to Search, AI Mode, and the Gemini app to make online product discovery and checkout simpler in advance of the holiday season. The new features, which will be launched in the US first, will be centred on more rapid comparisons, better insights into the products and automated assistance capable of performing real-world tasks. According to Google, the updates will minimise the longest aspects of online shopping, integrating its giant Shopping Graph with additional agentic technologies. The main rollout focus is a wider conversational shopping experience. Users can now tell the search engine what they desire in simple language and get systematised output immediately in the form of comparison tables, reviews, new prices and livestock. Google is also bringing such shopping capabilities to the Gemini app, where individuals can receive product suggestions, listings and price comparisons without opening up a...
