A new Chrome extension called cwsum lets users summarize and reformat any webpage with AI in one click, supporting bilingual English and Chinese output. The extension runs locally with no analytics or intermediary server…
Researchers introduced MVTrack4Gen, a method that improves video consistency in diffusion models by adding an auxiliary multi-view tracking head. This approach uses geometric supervision from point tracking to reduce cro…
A developer built 25 executable skills for AI coding agents, packaged into a single open-source repository compatible with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Hermes Agent. The skills include debugging, planning, code review…
The proliferation of low-quality AI-generated content, termed 'AI slop,' is driving users away from online platforms and toward offline, real-world experiences, according to a recent article.
Aera, a cross-platform agentic browser built on Chromium, launches with MCP integration, enabling users to automate web tasks via plain-language commands and scheduled background execution. The browser keeps data private…
Airlines are deploying generative-AI chatbots for customer service, but booking problems persist. British Airways invested over £100 million in AI forecasting, Virgin Atlantic launched a Concierge chatbot in December 202…
A Gallup and Stop Scams Alliance survey of 5,173 U.S. adults found that 12% of successful scams in 2025 involved AI or deepfakes, with Americans losing an estimated $68 billion to scams last year. The survey indicates ab…
OpenAI's global ads boss David Dugan said the company is building its ad platform rapidly by embracing agency holding companies and technology partners rather than controlling all client relationships directly, aiming to…
Researchers propose a semantic-aware generative image transmission framework for resource-constrained visual IoT systems. The method selects and transmits only task-relevant image tokens based on semantic importance, ach…
