Update — July 12, 2026: That browser shipped as ChatGPT Atlas in October 2025, and OpenAI is now shutting Atlas down on August 9, 2026. OpenAI is preparing to launch its own AI-powered web browser, reportedly arriving within weeks. Built on Chromium and tightly integrated with ChatGPT, the browser is designed to compete directly with Google Chrome and reshape how people interact with the web. This move is about more than user experience. It’s a strategic push to take control of the same data stream that fuels Google’s core business. Chrome, used by over 3 billion people, captures vast amounts of behavioral data—searches, clicks, and browsing patterns—all of which feed […]

On July 9, 2025, Perplexity AI officially launched Comet, a new AI-powered web browser designed to reimagine how people interact with the internet. Marketed as the world’s first “AI-native browser,” Comet introduces features like persistent context memory, seamless AI assistance, and integrated task automation — aiming to replace the traditional tab-cluttered, search-centric web experience. The browser is currently limited to users subscribed to Perplexity Max, the company’s $200-per-month premium tier, with a broader invite-only rollout expected later this summer. According to CEO Aravind Srinivas, support for Android is “coming soon”, while Windows and macOS are supported from day one. Comet is built on Chromium, allowing users to keep their existing Chrome extensions, bookmarks, and settings. […]

Apple is reportedly considering its boldest move yet in artificial intelligence: the acquisition of Perplexity AI, a fast-growing AI search startup recently valued at $14 billion. If successful, the deal could become Apple’s largest acquisition in history, far surpassing its $3 billion purchase of Beats in 2014. With Apple’s stock down nearly 20% year-to-date in 2025 and criticism mounting over its sluggish AI rollout, this could mark a pivotal moment in Cupertino’s long-term strategy. According to Bloomberg, Apple’s head of M&A, Adrian Perica, and services chief Eddy Cue are leading internal discussions about a potential acquisition. While no formal offer has been made to Perplexity’s management, and talks remain preliminary, the move […]

Advanced AI chatbot assistants like Google’s Gemini offer powerful capabilities — from summarizing emails to helping you brainstorm, write, and research faster. But behind the convenience lies deep integration with your Google identity and broader activity history. And because Gemini often feels like a helpful, judgment-free partner, always available and eager to assist, it’s easy to start oversharing. Many users end up typing out private thoughts, sensitive work information, or even confidential documents without questioning it. That sense of safety can be misleading. While Google states that your chats aren’t used for training unless you give explicit consent, your prompts are stored in your account by default. These chats can […]

For decades, futurists have warned of an intelligence explosion—the moment an AI becomes smart enough to redesign itself, triggering runaway gains in capability. The idea, first floated by statistician I. J. Good in 1965, is now back in vogue as researchers pile up concrete demos of self-improving systems. Even Big Tech leaders are starting to circle a date on the calendar. “Somewhere around five years… the systems will begin to write their own code,” former Google CEO Eric Schmidt predicted in late 2024, calling the inflection point “a change in slope.” Why should you care? Because the same feedback loop that could propel machines past human intelligence also promises very earthly dividends […]

Google’s Gemini series has quickly became one of the most ambitious AI projects, directly rivaling OpenAI’s GPT models. Launched initially in December 2023 with the Gemini 1.0 model, Google rapidly evolved this model through series of updates throughout the year. Each version significantly enhanced Google’s capabilities in handling multimodal inputs. The upcoming Gemini 3.0 model, anticipated in late 2025, could significantly change the current AI landscape and with it’s expected features such as deeper multimodal integration, extensive improvements in context handling, and advanced built-in reasoning capabilities, Gemini 3.0 affects its leaders like OpenAI, Meta, and Anthropic. Gemini 3.0 is here! What Is Gemini 3.0? Gemini 3.0 is the next step […]

That street interview? Not real. It’s not even filmed with a camera. It was generated by Google Veo 3, a powerful new AI video generation model that creates realistic 8-second video clips from a simple text prompt. We’re not just talking crisp visuals or dynamic scenes. Veo 3 video syncs motion and sound, mimics human gestures, and renders environments that flirt dangerously with reality. It’s smooth, cinematic, and—at times—eerily lifelike. And yet… it’s still not perfect. What Is Google Veo 3? Google Veo 3 is Google DeepMind’s most advanced AI video generator to date — a major leap in text-to-video AI technology. Think of it as the Gemini of visuals: […]

AI競争がかつてないほど過熱している。2025年5月現在、OpenAI、Anthropic、Google、xAIはいずれも最新のフラッグシップモデル、ChatGPT（GPT-4.5/4.1）、Claude 4（Claude 3.7 Sonnet）、Gemini 2.5 Pro、Grok 3を発表している。それぞれが、知能、創造性、推論、道具の使用における大きな飛躍を約束しており、今回の誇大宣伝は単なるマーケティングではない。これらのモデルは純粋により便利で、より有能で、多くの場合、衝撃的なほど優れている。しかし、疑問が残る。どれが実際にベストなのだろうか？答えは、あなたが何を求めているかによる。コーディングや技術的な作業を得意とするものもあれば、会話やリアルタイムの知識、巨大なドキュメントを扱うことを得意とするものもある。はっきりしているのは、私たちはついに[...]を手に入れたということだ。

Google I/O 2025で、グーグルはついに、これまでで最も革新的なメディア生成モデルであろうVeo 3を発表した。この発表でグーグルは、AIが生成する動画に一歩を踏み出しただけでなく、ディープマインドのデミス・ハサビスCEOが “沈黙の時代 ”と呼ぶものに終止符を打った。何年もの間、OpenAIのSoraやRunwayのGen-2のようなツールは、テキストプロンプトから生成されるシュールで超現実的なビデオクリップでユーザーを魅了してきた。しかし、これらのツールには「無音」という目に余る制限があった。ユーザーは短いクリップやシーンを作成することはできても、サウンドトラックやナレーション、フォーリー効果をポストプロダクションで手動で追加する必要があった。GoogleのVeo 3は、ネイティブのオーディオ-ビデオ生成を導入することにより、これを変更し、根本的な [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] 続きを読む

Google I/Oは常に、いつか製品になるかもしれない研究開発プロジェクトのショーケースだった。2025年版はそれとは異なっていた。ライトフィールドのビデオブースであれ、メガネであれ、刷新された検索ページであれ、ほとんどすべてのデモが同じ脳幹で動いていた：Gemini 2.5である。基調講演のメッセージは明確だった。グーグルの未来は「AIを搭載した」アプリではなく、すべてを動かす1つのAIプラットフォームなのだ。以下は、重要な発表を深く掘り下げ、ステージに到着した順番にばらばらにするのではなく、一つの物語にまとめたものである。Gemini Everywhere I/Oの他の部分は、モデルのニュースなしには理解できないだろう。グーグルはGemini 2.5 Proを発表した。
