According to a Chinese tipster on Weibo, OpenAI is gearing up to launch its first hardware product – a pair of earbuds, of course, powered by the company’s own AI model. According to the report, the company decided to scale back on its hardware efforts for the time being, likely because of the rising hardware costs. At first, OpenAI was rumored to be working on a small pendant or a pen, which is in line with the CEO Sam Altman’s remarks about the device being more “peaceful and calm” than a smartphone. Especially after OpenAI hired Apple’s ex-chief designer Jony…

3. Permissions by design: Bind tools to tasks, not to models A common anti-pattern is to give the model a long-lived credential and hope prompts keep it polite. SAIF and NIST argue the opposite: credentials and scopes should be bound to tools and tasks, rotated regularly, and auditable. Agents then request narrowly scoped capabilities through those tools. In practice, that looks like: “finance-ops-agent may read, but not write, certain ledgers without CFO approval.” The CEO question: Can we revoke a specific capability from an agent without re-architecting the whole system? Control data and behavior These steps gate inputs, outputs, and…

On Thursday, WordPress launched a new Claude connector, enabling site owners to share back-end data with Anthropic’s chatbot system. Users can control what specific data they want to share, and access can also be revoked if and when the user chooses. Notably, Claude is given read-only access, meaning it won’t be able to alter anything within a user’s CMS. However, last year WP claimed that it would eventually deliver “write” access to the MCP integration, presumably allowing users to conduct editorial tasks directly from a connected chatbot of their choosing. At any rate, after Claude is linked to an account,…

That was certainly the case for Claude Opus 4.5, the latest version of Anthropic’s most powerful model, which was released in late November. In December, METR announced that Opus 4.5 appeared to be capable of independently completing a task that would have taken a human about five hours—a vast improvement over what even the exponential trend would have predicted. One Anthropic safety researcher tweeted that he would change the direction of his research in light of those results; another employee at the company simply wrote, “mom come pick me up i’m scared.” But the truth is more complicated than those…

Deep tech startups in sectors such as space, semiconductors, and biotech take far longer to mature than conventional ventures. Because of that India is adjusting its startup rules, and mobilizing public capital, hoping to help more of them make it to commercial products. This week, the Indian government updated its startup framework, doubling the period for which deep tech companies are treated as startups to 20 years and raising the revenue threshold for startup-specific tax, grant, and regulatory benefits to ₹3 billion (about $33.12 million), from ₹1 billion (around $11.04 million) previously. The change aims to align policy timelines with…

The Honor X70 was unveiled in July last year, packing an 8,300mAh silicon-carbon battery. Now, according to a tipster, the company is gearing up to launch the Honor X80 with a 10,000mAh battery. Prominent tipster Digital Chat Station has recently claimed that Honor is developing the X80 with a 10,000mAh battery. Honor Win comes with a 10,000mAh battery Notably, Honor has already launched the Win and Win RT in China, both featuring 10,000mAh batteries. The company also introduced the Honor Power2 with a slightly larger 10,080mAh cell early last month. According to Digital Chat Station, all three devices have seen…

A recent NPR investigation found that the Trump administration had secretly rewritten nuclear rules, stripping environmental protections and loosening safety and security measures. The government shared the new rules with companies that are part of a program building experimental nuclear reactors, but not with the public. I’m reminded of a talk during our EmTech MIT event in November, where Koroush Shirvan, an MIT professor of nuclear engineering, spoke on this issue. “I’ve seen some disturbing trends in recent times, where words like ‘rubber-stamping nuclear projects’ are being said,” Shirvan said during that event.   During the talk, Shirvan shared statistics showing…

The Super Bowl is happening in Silicon Valley this Sunday, and the Patriots-Seahawks game at Levi’s Stadium is going to be packed with tech money. YouTube CEO Neal Mohan is expected to be there. Apple’s Tim Cook, too. (He has become a Super Bowl fixture since Apple Music began sponsoring the halftime show several years ago.) Longtime VC Venky Ganesan from Menlo Ventures gave the New York Times a quote about the whole thing, saying the Super Bowl in the Bay Area is “tech billionaires who got picked last in gym class paying $50,000 to pretend they’re friends with the…
