GPT-6.1 Sol Gives OpenAI's Mid-Tier Near-Flagship Skills at a Fifth of Astra's Price
OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol claims results close to GPT-6 Astra on coding, computer use and professional work at a fifth of the cost. Astra still leads on research.
Artificial intelligence as it reaches everyday tools — what a new model or feature actually changes, explained without the hype.

OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol claims results close to GPT-6 Astra on coding, computer use and professional work at a fifth of the cost. Astra still leads on research.

Anthropic's Claude Frontier Academy is a $100 million program to train 10,000 engineers at partner companies by the end of 2027, using a residency model.

NVIDIA Blackwell is more than a faster GPU generation: from massive AI models to high-speed GPU communication, it is a foundation for the next wave of AI.

Anthropic says Claude helped researchers identify a previously uncharacterized enzyme system in large collections of DNA data, an early look at AI in science.

DriverAI has announced plans for a large AI and quantum computing data center in Luna, Cluj County. Here is what it could include and which milestones matter.
Consumer technology worth understanding — what a device actually changes, not what its spec sheet claims.
Incremental and idle games, hidden gems, and the small developers behind them. Found on merit, never on ad spend.
VPNs, accounts and the habits that keep them safe — what a tool really protects, in plain language.
Phones, wearables and the software on them — what a new device or update actually changes for daily use.
