StepFun's Voice AI Topped Every Benchmark. It Also Hears Your Sighs

Shanghai-based AI lab StepFun released StepAudio 2.5 Realtime this week. It's an end-to-end real-time voice model—audio goes in, audio comes out, no text conversion in the middle. It supports Chinese and English and, based on benchmarks, it seems to be pretty good. The lab is best known for building text LLMs that outperform much larger systems. Step 3.5 Flash, a 196-billion-parameter model, topped four reasoning benchmarks earlier this year against trillion-parameter rivals. (Parameters are wh...

Argentina Launched an AI to Predict the Future. It Couldn't Predict a Typo

Argentina's Ministry of Human Capital has a bold claim: It can predict the future of social policy using artificial intelligence. President Javier Milei announced the “Gemelo Digital Social” initiative (which roughly translates to “Social Digital Twin”) on Friday via X, calling it "a paradigm change in social policy." He closed the announcement with "MAGA. VLLC!"—a nod to Trump's slogan alongside his own—lest anyone miss the political branding. ARGENTINA SE ADELANTA AL FUTURO, PORQUE EL FUTURO...

Microsoft's Free AI Just Beat OpenAI and Google at Browsing the Web

Imagine telling your computer to look up vacation rentals, compare five sites, fill out the booking form, and confirm the one closest to the beach. You go make coffee. It’s done when you get back. That is the promise of "computer use agents"—AI that reads your browser screen and clicks, scrolls, and types exactly as a human would, with no special plugins required. OpenAI tried this first with Operator, launched in January 2025 at $200 a month before being folded into ChatGPT Agent and shut down...

Two Men Federally Charged Over AI Deepfake Porn Under the Take It Down Act

Federal prosecutors charged two men this week with using AI to generate and distribute sexually explicit images of women without their consent, marking one of the first major enforcement actions under the new Take It Down Act. On Thursday, federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York charged Arturo Hernandez of Texas and Cornelius Shannon of New Jersey in separate cases involving alleged AI-generated deepfake pornography. “The defendants used cutting-edge digital technology to create...

Bitcoin Billionaire Books First SpaceX Mars Mission

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has tapped Chun Wang, co-founder of F2Pool, one of the first Bitcoin mining pools in China, to command the first private crewed mission to Mars. The company gave no launch date. The announcement came during a livestream of the now scrubbed Starship V3 launch on Thursday, minutes before that launch attempt was scheduled to take place. "A lot of people [are] talking about the whole Mars to be like we're going to fly to Mars, we're going to land on Mars, we're going to build [a]...

Nearly $500B in Bitcoin Is Exposed to Future Quantum Computing Attacks: Glassnode

Nearly one-third of all Bitcoin in circulation—over 6 million coins worth over $469 billion as of this writing—is already vulnerable to theft if powerful quantum computers become a reality, according to research published Wednesday by blockchain analytics firm Glassnode. The analysis, which examines the Bitcoin blockchain to determine which coins have already had their public cryptographic keys exposed, found that 6.04 million BTC, or 30.2% of the issued supply, is exposed to quantum risk, whil...
