Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire on June 12, 2026, the day SpaceX’s record-breaking IPO began trading on the Nasdaq. As of June 2026 his net worth sits near $1.2 trillion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, more than the next several richest people on Earth combined. He runs Tesla and SpaceX, owns the social platform X, and founded the artificial intelligence company xAI, maker of the Grok chatbot. That mix of rockets, electric cars, social media, and AI makes him one of the most talked-about figures of the decade, and one of the most searched. This guide answers what people actually ask about him: how old he is, […]

Mira Murati is the founder and CEO of Thinking Machines Lab and the former chief technology officer of OpenAI, where she led the development of ChatGPT, DALL-E and Sora. Born in Vlorë, Albania in 1988, she rose from a product role at Tesla to running the technology behind the most widely used AI products on earth, then walked away in September 2024 to build her own lab. In June 2026 she resurfaced after roughly 18 months of near-silence, unveiling a new class of AI she calls “interaction models.” This biography covers who Mira Murati is, where she comes from, and how an engineer from a small Albanian coastal city became […]

You can learn ChatGPT for free in a single afternoon, and the most useful training comes straight from the company that built it. OpenAI Academy offers free, self-paced courses for non-technical beginners, and the ChatGPT free tier gives you a capable model at no cost, currently GPT-5.5 Instant by default. You do not need to pay for a course, a certificate, or a subscription to get good at it. This guide gives you a clear path from zero. You will learn how to start in five steps, which free courses are actually free (and which quietly charge for the certificate), what the free plan really includes in 2026, and a […]

Andrej Karpathy is one of the most influential figures in modern artificial intelligence, a founding member of OpenAI, the former director of AI and Autopilot Vision at Tesla, and the founder of the AI-education startup Eureka Labs. In May 2026 he made headlines by joining rival lab Anthropic, the maker of Claude, to work on the pre-training team behind its frontier models. Along the way he coined the term “vibe coding,” wrote the widely cited essay “Software 2.0,” and built some of the most-watched AI courses on the internet. This guide covers who Andrej Karpathy is, his full career timeline from OpenAI to Tesla and back, why his move to […]

In December 2025, Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees, added generative AI to its search results with two features, AI Overviews and AI Chat. The move split its audience instantly. Some users welcomed a greener way to use AI, while many long-time fans pushed back hard, calling it the one thing a climate-focused search engine should never touch. This guide explains exactly what Ecosia AI is, which models run it, whether it actually uses water, and how it stacks up against ChatGPT. You will also get the four-step process to turn AI off completely if you would rather keep your search clean. We have pulled every figure from Ecosia’s […]

Update, July 10, 2026: Both chatbots just moved to new flagship models. ChatGPT now runs GPT-5.6 (the Sol, Terra, and Luna tiers), which began its broad public rollout on July 9, 2026, and Grok is powered by Grok 4.5, xAI’s coding-focused release from July 8, 2026. The pricing, benchmarks, and comparison tables below reflect the new lineup. ChatGPT now runs on GPT-5.6, whose flagship Sol tier started a broad public rollout on July 9, 2026 after two weeks behind a US-government access list, while Grok is powered by Grok 4.5 (released July 8, 2026), xAI’s first model built specifically for coding and agentic work. Both chatbots have evolved fast over […]

Five AI shopping assistants now decide how millions of people find and buy products online: ChatGPT, Amazon’s Alexa for Shopping (formerly Rufus), Perplexity, Google’s Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. Over the 2025 holiday season, traffic from AI platforms to retail sites grew nearly 700%, and those shoppers converted at 31% higher rates than visitors from regular search, according to Adobe Analytics. The race to be the assistant you ask “what should I buy” is now one of the biggest fights in consumer tech. This guide compares the five consumer AI shopping assistants you can actually use today, what each one does well, how their checkout works, and which is the best […]

OpenAI’s top customer burns 100 billion tokens a month, and Sam Altman just admitted AI costs became a huge issue in 2026. Here’s what changed and how to cut your own AI bill.

Dario Amodei is (1) the CEO and co-founder of Anthropic, the AI lab behind Claude. (2) a former Vice President of Research at OpenAI who led the development of GPT-2 and GPT-3. (3) a Princeton-trained biophysicist with a PhD in neural-circuit electrophysiology. (4) a $7 billion billionaire as of February 2026 per Forbes. (5) the author of the essay “Machines of Loving Grace” that put the 2026-2027 powerful AI timeline at the center of the global AI conversation. He is 43 years old, born in San Francisco in 1983 to a Jewish-American mother and an Italian-American father. He is older brother of Anthropic president Daniela Amodei. This article covers Dario […]

How much energy does AI use? A single normal text prompt uses roughly 0.24 watt-hours, Google’s official figure for a median Gemini prompt, to about 0.34 watt-hours for an average ChatGPT query. That is about what an oven uses in one second. The model you pick changes everything. For a chatbot built specifically around lighter, lower-energy models, see our GreenPT review. An independent 2025 benchmark put Claude Sonnet at roughly 2.8 Wh for a medium prompt, DeepSeek-V3 near 2 Wh for a medium prompt, and DeepSeek-R1 reasoning at about 29 Wh, the same heavyweight tier as GPT-5-class models. Credible per-prompt estimates span more than 65x. At scale the picture is […]
