Otter.ai, the AI note-taking company, announced Tuesday that it is expanding its transcription tool to 31 languages. The largest language expansion in the company's history will add 27 languages, and a new multilingual feature will follow meetings as speakers switch between languages without users changing any settings. Thirteen of the new languages are available now, and the remaining 14 are coming soon. The update targets global teams whose language differences can make meetings harder to run. The announcement comes as Otter widens its focus beyond transcription into other workplace AI tools, following $320 million in funding from General Catalyst. Leggi di più

Google has reversed a privacy promise it made when it launched Gemini Workspace extensions in 2023. The company had said personal content from Gmail, Docs and Drive was not seen by human reviewers. Updated Google Help documentation and an October 16 edit to the original blog post now confirm that connected Drive and email data can be routed into human review pipelines. A detailed technical analysis of the feature says Gemini can pull personal files into ordinary conversations without being asked, and that in some cases the full text of a document is ingested. Google sold the integration on strict isolation from human review, and that isolation no longer applies. Leggi di più

Anthropic on Monday released Mythos 5.2 and Fable 5.2, its most advanced models, which the company says improve coding, reasoning and vision. Anthropic is also cutting the price of Fable from $10 to $8 per million input tokens, making it cheaper than competitor GPT-6 Astra. The release comes weeks after a third-party report suggested the lab may be approaching recursive self-improvement, and Anthropic acknowledged growing difficulty in testing whether its models behave as intended. The company also says its models have contributed to research in theoretical physics and mathematics. Leggi di più

Negotiators from more than 190 countries are meeting in Antalya, Turkey, for the annual UN climate summit, COP31. Turkey has previewed a pledge on artificial intelligence and the environment, which calls for cleaner power for data centers, transparency on their emissions and better management of electronic waste. The pledge's commitments are voluntary and create no new obligations, and the United States, which has the most data centers of any country, has withdrawn from the global climate accord and sent no official delegates. A columnist who reviewed the text argues that it offers little more than the appearance of action. The pledge is set for official launch on November 16. Leggi di più

Google DeepMind researchers used agentic AI to mathematically prove a number of key cryptographic guarantees of the Signal protocol, a widely used encryption system. The work, reported by WIRED on Nov. 10, is being described as a landmark development for both cryptography and AI itself. The researchers now have a broader goal: applying the same kind of formal verification to what they called “all the software of the world.” Leggi di più

Apple is now letting Creator Studio subscribers pay to keep using AI features after they hit their monthly usage limits. Logic Pro is the first app to offer the option, through a one-time Intelligence Usage Pack priced at $49.99. The packs roll over from month to month and expire 12 months after purchase, but they cannot be shared through Family Sharing. Apple says the same option will reach other Creator Studio apps, including Final Cut Pro and Pixelmator Pro, later this month. The move follows a support article Apple published in early September that laid out usage limits for some Apple Intelligence features, which rely on cloud-based models from OpenAI and Google Gemini.

Cisco and IBM are each planning to bring Anthropic's Claude Mythos into their security products, giving select enterprise customers a way to test and harden their own AI systems and software. Cisco will add Mythos to its AI Defense red-teaming tool, which attacks a company's AI apps and agents to find weak spots before hackers do. Cisco said the feature will go first to select enterprises, with no date set. IBM said it aims to add Mythos to its Concert Protect software in early 2027. Both companies are working within tight limits, because Anthropic restricts access to vetted organizations and does not hand out the model itself. Leggi di più

Anthropic is moving forward with plans to go public, despite a sharp Nasdaq sell-off and a scandal involving a CEO central to the AI boom, according to The Wall Street Journal. The AI company plans to set a valuation range this week and begin trading on Thursday or Friday of next week. Some institutional investors are pushing for a valuation below the $1.5 trillion target discussed last week, a figure well below the $2 trillion floated a few months ago. The valuation will be closely watched as a gauge of the strength of the AI boom. Leggi di più

ByteDance has released Seedream 5.5, a new AI image model that the company says can edit the same picture 100 times in a row without degrading it. The Seed research team announced the model on Monday. It is rolling out slowly in ByteDance's Chinese apps, including Doubao and Jimeng, and on its Volcengine cloud platform. ByteDance says the model keeps unchanged parts of an image identical and can generate images with transparent backgrounds. The performance claims come from ByteDance itself and have not been independently checked. Leggi di più

Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison said AI could have a larger impact on filmmaking than CGI did in the early 1990s, arguing the technology could lower production costs and make riskier original projects more feasible. Speaking on the company's latest earnings call, Ellison said Paramount Skydance has been developing its own AI tools that he expects will speed up projects across the organization and reshape how the company works. He also said artificial intelligence would never replace artists, and that premium intellectual property and live events would become more valuable as AI-generated content spreads. Leggi di più

Google has introduced two new versions of its in-house tensor processing units, the TPU 8tx and the TPU 8i Max. The TPU 8tx is built for running AI models and agents on sensitive data, with security features embedded in the hardware. The TPU 8i Max combines two TPU 8i chips in one package to double computing power, on-chip memory and memory bandwidth for demanding applications. The launch brings Google's eighth-generation lineup to four systems. The company has not disclosed pricing or exact release dates for either chip. Leggi di più

Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, has launched Spacefast, a new service that gives users the infrastructure to deploy websites and apps built with vibe coding. The product supplies databases, authentication, file uploads, email and analytics, and it can connect to a range of AI agents and chatbots or to a Git repository. Automattic says the product is meant to give users more choice than rival platforms such as Lovable and Emergent, which offer both the interface and the infrastructure for vibe-coded apps. The launch comes as the company works to reshape its business for a web increasingly shaped by AI. Leggi di più

London self-driving software startup Wayve will train, test and simulate its AI models on CoreWeave's cloud under a multi-year agreement, CoreWeave said Monday. The cloud provider will run the work on Nvidia Blackwell chips. Neither company disclosed the deal's value or length. CoreWeave shares fell about 3% before the market opened, extending a slide that began after last week's midterm-related sell-off. Wayve licenses its software to carmakers and ride-hailing firms, and the deal marks CoreWeave's push beyond chatbot makers into what it calls “physical AI.” Leggi di più

Dave Wehner, who spent 14 years at Meta and more than eight of them as chief financial officer, is leaving his role as chief strategy officer to become CFO of Fireworks, an AI inference startup. He announced the move Friday on X. Fireworks CEO Lin Qiao said Wehner will scale the company’s finances and operations. The hire comes as Fireworks prepares a new funding round that The Information reports could value the company at $30 billion or more. Leggi di più

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a new investigation into whether Waymo's software recall fixed a problem that caused its robotaxis to run red lights and stop signs near stopped school buses. The agency's Office of Defects Investigation began the probe on Friday, months after Waymo completed the recall across its robotaxi fleet in November 2025. Regulators are focused on incidents that happened after the fix was applied, and the National Transportation Safety Board has its own separate investigation into the same behavior. Leggi di più

CIQ has published a report describing Ginux, an experimental x86-64 operating system kernel written in Rust. According to the report, a single persistent AI coding-agent task produced the kernel over eleven days. Ginux boots through UEFI, runs selected unmodified Alpine Linux programs, and boots a Rocky Linux 10 userspace with systemd through multi-user.target. The report calls Ginux a research prototype with narrow compatibility and hardware coverage, and it has not undergone an independent security audit. The project is built on a development method CIQ calls Human-Directed Agentic Engineering, in which people set the architecture, constraints, milestones and acceptance criteria while an autonomous agent handles implementation and testing.

A developer has released a free learning project that explains how large language models turn a prompt into generated text. The project, called samir-vllm, pairs more than six hours of video and more than 80 pages of handwritten notes with a small inference engine written in C++ and CUDA. It builds the system step by step for Meta's Llama 3.2 1B Instruct model, covering model loading, attention, the KV cache and batching. The code is licensed under MIT, while the notes and other written materials are rights reserved, with personal study permitted. Leggi di più

Startup CAIM1 has unveiled a prototype camera that embeds cryptographic proof of when, where and how a photo was taken directly into the image. Founder Josh Cowell says the device is designed to counter the spread of AI-generated fakes and deepfakes, which European officials say have grown rapidly. The company expects its flagship camera to reach the market in the first quarter of 2027, and it is still in the prototype phase. The device pairs a custom security chip with a blockchain record and includes a cooling system developed with PC fan maker Noctua. Leggi di più

Developers can now add Google Maps to apps they build in Google AI Studio without leaving the platform, Google said Monday. AI Studio sets up the maps service and its key on its own, and no credit card is needed to start. A free demo key allows 100 calls a day for each Maps API, resetting every 24 hours. Apps headed for production still need a paid Google Cloud billing account, but the same key and code keep working after the switch. The move extends Google's push to let people build working apps simply by describing them to Gemini. Leggi di più
