Stanford researchers found that AI detectors falsely flagged 61.3% of non-native English essays as machine-written. OpenAI shut down its own AI text detector in July 2023 because it correctly identified just 26% of AI-generated text. A 2024 study by Perkins and colleagues put the baseline accuracy of six major detectors at 39.5%. Yet vendors still […]

Anthropic does not offer a public, individually-redeemable student discount on Claude Pro in 2026. There is no .edu signup form, no promo code at checkout, and no “Education” tab inside claude.ai.

Anthropic closed a $65 billion Series H at a $965 billion post-money valuation on May 28, 2026, overtaking OpenAI as the most valuable AI startup, and both labs have since shipped new flagships. Anthropic’s current top model is Claude Opus 5, […]

On May 6, 2026, Mindtrip launched the first all-in-one agentic AI flight booking experience, where you describe a trip in plain language, the AI compares fares across airlines, and you check out with PayPal inside the same chat. That single launch tells you everything about where travel apps went in 2026: away from form fields, […]

On July 23, 2026, Gemini Spark stopped being a luxury purchase. Google’s 24/7 agent launched at I/O on May 19, 2026 locked behind the $99.99/month Google AI Ultra tier.

Update, July 1, 2026: The autonomous cyber capability at the center of this story is exactly what later put Mythos in front of regulators.
