Amazon Teases New AI-Powered Alexa With Cryptic Invites
Amazon sent out five different event invites, and when pieced together, they spell 'Alexa.' The event, set for February 26, is expected to showcase a new generative AI-powered Alexa, finally upgrading from its outdated, passive assistant days.

AI’s IQ is a Scam
AI ‘IQ’ scores might look impressive, but they’re basically rigged. These models memorize test patterns, making the results as meaningful as cheat codes in a video game. Time for better AI benchmarks.

App Orchid and Google Cloud Bring AI to Business Data
Using Google’s Gemini AI and an ontology-driven framework, they’re letting users ask complex questions in plain English and get precise answers—without wading through spreadsheet hell. Their text-to-SQL accuracy? A ridiculous 99.8%.

Figure AI Dumps OpenAI to Build Its Own Models

Figure AI is ditching OpenAI and going solo on AI development.

Founder Brett Adcock says relying on OpenAI's models created integration headaches, so they'll build their own instead. The breakup is especially wild considering OpenAI is a major investor. Meanwhile, OpenAI is rebooting its robotics team, setting up a possible rivalry. Figure AI promises groundbreaking updates in the next 30 days.

Either way, it’s a big shakeup in the humanoid robotics game.

ChatGPT’s Search Engine Now Works Without an Account

OpenAI just made ChatGPT’s search engine way more accessible—you don’t even need an account now. Now your mom can try it.

Originally a perk for paid users, then a free-for-all, it’s now fully open to the public. This means ChatGPT’s search competes directly with Google, Bing, and AI-driven rivals like Perplexity. The latest update even makes it look more like a traditional search engine, complete with maps and local attractions.

If Google wasn’t already sweating over AI-powered search, it definitely is now.

Google Drops Three New Gemini 2.0 AI Models

Google is rolling out three new Gemini 2.0 models.

We now have Flash for general tasks, Flash-Lite for budget-conscious developers, and Pro for hardcore AI fans who need a 2 million-token context window. While they’re currently text-only, Google promises future image, audio, and live video capabilities. Plus, a new reasoning method dubbed 'Flash Thinking' may help Gemini close the gap with rivals like OpenAI.

With changes to pricing and benchmarks showing improvements, Google is clearly pushing competition—though real-world testing will reveal if these upgrades are worth the hype.
