Anthropic’s chatbot Claude seems to have benefited from the attention around the company’s fraught negotiations with the Pentagon. As first reported by CNBC, Claude has been rising to the top of the free app rankings in Apple’s US App Store. On Saturday evening, it overtook OpenAI’s ChatGPT to claim the number one spot, a position that it still held on Sunday morning. According to data from SensorTower, Claude was just outside the top 100 at the end of January, and has spent most of February somewhere in the top 20. It’s climbed rapidly in the past few days, from sixth…

Honor launched its new foldable, the Honor Magic V6, with a massive 6,600 mAh battery and a new sturdy hinge ahead of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. The Chinese company has been obsessed with proving that it makes the thinnest foldables. This year’s version is 4mm thick when unfolded and 8.75 mm thick when folded. Compared to last year’s Magic V5, which was 4.1 mm thick when unfolded and 8.8 mm thick when folded. We are talking very thin shavings here, but that helps the company make those claims. The battery is possibly one of the most impressive…

PerplexityWhat is Perplexity Computer? As a working mom who writes and experiments with AI tools daily, I can’t ignore the irony: the more powerful these systems get, the more time I spend comparing models, refining prompts, and fact-checking outputs. AI doesn’t automatically save time if it adds layers of choice — and it definitely doesn’t save time if I’m bouncing between models and manually reviewing everything for accuracy.And that’s where Perplexity Computer comes in. Announced late last night, the internet is already buzzing about this new platform that Perplexity describes as a “general-purpose digital worker.” Instead of a single model…

Introduction and specs For yet another year, Xiaomi is bringing the smaller vanilla Xiaomi 17 flagship alongside the Ultra model globally. The 17 Pro and the 17 Pro Max remain China-exclusive for now. But for anyone out there looking for a compact, yet powerful smartphone, that’s good news. The Xiaomi 17, like its predecessors, sounds like a solid all-rounder and perhaps one of the best alternatives to the more popular Samsung Galaxy S26, iPhone 17 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro. Once again, the compact Xiaomi flagship is equipped with the latest top-tier Qualcomm chipset, which in this case is the…

By CEO Sam Altman’s own admission, OpenAI’s deal with the Department of Defense was “definitely rushed,” and “the optics don’t look good.” After negotiations between Anthropic and the Pentagon fell through on Friday, President Donald Trump directed federal agencies to stop using Anthropic’s technology after a six-month transition period, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said he was designating the AI company as a supply-chain risk. Then, OpenAI quickly announced that it had reached a deal of its own for models to be deployed in classified environments. With Anthropic saying it was drawing red lines around the use of its…

Introduction and specs We already reviewed the Chinese version of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra – in its special Leica edition, nonetheless. The company is now releasing this Ultra cameraphone to global markets. The most notable difference between the two phones is the battery capacity – it’s 6000 mAh on the global as opposed to 6800 mAh. It may be a downgrade to the model released in China, but it’s in fact an upgrade over the 5,410 mAh battery in last year’s Xiaomi 15 Ultra. That difference alone was enough for us to revisit the global model for another review, but…
