The prodigal Tiger returns... but is no longer the benchmarks leader.

These AI stocks are still buys with the Nasdaq hitting new highs.

DeepSeek says both models are more efficient and performant than DeepSeek V3.2 due to architectural improvements, and have almost "closed the gap" with current leading models, both open and closed, on reasoning benchmarks.

On Friday, Chinese AI firm DeepSeek released a preview of V4, its long-awaited new flagship model. Notably, the model can process much longer prompts than its last generation, thanks to a new design that helps it handle large amounts of text more efficiently. Like DeepSeek’s previous models, V4 is open source, meaning it is available…

The AI-driven memory shortage is hitting Samsung's bottom line.

The new crude oil refinery in Tanzania would replicate the output of his giant plant in Lagos.

The narrow gap between DeepSeek and leading U.S. models, as well as its low prices, raises questions about OpenAI and Anthropic's competitive moat.

Microsoft is rolling out a new Agent Mode inside Office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint this week. Previously described by Microsoft as "vibe working," the Agent Mode is a more powerful version of the Copilot experience in Office that Microsoft has been trying to sell to businesses. "When we first shipped Copilot, foundation models were not powerful enough to use Copilot to command the applications," admits Sumit Chauhan, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Office Product Group. "This meant Copilot was a passive partner in documents: it could answer questions but missed the mark when it was asked to take action on the canvas direc … Read the full story at The Verge.

For the past eighteen months, the corporate world has been obsessed with the "builder" phase of the generative AI revolution. Enterprises have raced to deploy autonomous agents to handle everything from customer support to complex codebase refactoring. However, as these digital workers proliferate, a new, more structural problem has emerged: fragmentation. Agents built on LangChain cannot easily hand off tasks to those built on CrewAI; a Salesforce-embedded agent has no native way to coordinate with a custom-built Python script running on a private cloud. Today, a new startup, BAND (also known as Thenvoi AI Ltd.) exited stealth with $17 million in Seed funding to provide the "interaction infrastructure" necessary to turn these isolated tools into a unified, collaborative workforce. "In order for agents to become real players in the global economy, they need ways to communicate, just like humans do," said co-founder and CEO Arick Goomanovsky in an interview with VentureBeat, continui

Infor has introduced new capabilities across its AI portfolio, alongside research suggesting many businesses are still struggling to scale artificial intelligence beyond pilot stages. The company’s April release includes updates to its Infor Velocity Suite and the limited availability of an enhanced Infor Agentic Orchestrator.

Chinese AI company DeepSeek released a preview of its hotly anticipated next-generation AI model V4 on Friday, saying that the open-source model can compete with leading closed-source systems from US rivals including Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI. DeepSeek says V4 marks a major improvement over prior models, especially in coding, a capability that has become central to AI agents and helped drive the success of tools like ChatGPT Codex and Claude Code. The release is also a milestone for China's chip industry, with DeepSeek explicitly highlighting compatibility with domestic Huawei technology. The release comes a year after DeepSeek rattl … Read the full story at The Verge.

Just weeks after its last update, OpenAI is back with GPT-5.5—promising more intuitive, agentic performance and fewer hallucinations for business users.

OpenAI just announced its new GPT-5.5 model, which the company calls its "smartest and most intuitive to use model yet, and the next step toward a new way of getting work done on a computer." OpenAI just released GPT-5.4 last month, but says that the new GPT-5.5 "excels" at tasks like writing and debugging code, doing research online, making spreadsheets and documents, and doing that work across different tools. "Instead of carefully managing every step, you can give GPT-5.5 a messy, multi-part task and trust it to plan, use tools, check its work, navigate through ambiguity, and keep going," according to OpenAI. The company also notes that … Read the full story at The Verge.
