A Chinese humanoid robot has pushed robotic sprinting into territory once associated only with elite human athletes. Tiangong Ultra completed the 100-meter final at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing in 8.64 seconds, finishing nearly a second faster than Usain Bolt's official human world-record time of 9.58 seconds.
Google is introducing new AI features for Android under Gemini Intelligence, designed to automate multi-step tasks, summarize web content, fill out forms, and turn spoken thoughts into clear text messages. Ahead of Google I/O, the company announced that the features will launch this summer on the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Google Pixel 10, with additional devices such as smartwatches, cars, glasses, and laptops to follow later in the year.
Chinese robotics company Unitree has introduced what it claims is the world's first manned robot ready for mass production. The GD01 starts at $650,000 and weighs approximately 500 kg with a pilot on board.
OpenAI has introduced GPT-5.5-Cyber — a specialised variant of its flagship AI model designed for cybersecurity tasks, currently available to a limited group of developers.
Baidu has introduced Ernie 5.1, a new language model that builds on the pretraining foundation of Ernie 5.0 while using a much smaller architecture.
A Bloomberg report shows how generative AI and autonomous agents are accelerating identity theft in the United States — from searching for Social Security numbers on the dark web to creating deepfake driver’s licenses.
The price of GPT-5.5 has effectively increased sharply compared with GPT-5.4. On paper, the model is twice as expensive: GPT-5.5 costs $5 per million input tokens and $30 per million output tokens, while GPT-5.4 was priced at $2.50 and $15 respectively. OpenAI argues that the increase is partly offset by the model generating fewer tokens. However, an analysis by OpenRouter suggests that this only applies to a limited extent. In real usage, costs rose by 49% to 92% compared with GPT-5.4.
Anthropic is expanding its AI Claude Managed Agents platform, launched in April, with three new features designed to make AI agents more reliable, easier to evaluate, and better at learning from past work.
Google DeepMind is acquiring a minority stake in the studio behind the space MMO EVE Online and plans to use the game to test AI models. At the same time, developer CCP Games is buying itself out from its South Korean owner Pearl Abyss for $120 million — less than the $225 million Pearl Abyss paid for the studio in 2018 — and rebranding as Fenris Creations.
Samsung shares jumped more than 15%, pushing the company’s market capitalization above $1 trillion. That makes Samsung only the second Asian company after TSMC to cross the trillion-dollar mark.
