Lena reports on artificial intelligence from research labs to product launches, tracking where the technology actually lands.
A Princeton and U of Chicago study found LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini stereotype job candidates ~65% more than humans on a segregation scale.
A Chinese startup released the world’s largest open AI model, rattling markets and competing directly with Anthropic and OpenAI. China’s open-source strategy signals a deliberate geopolitical push.
Anthropic found a window into Claude’s internal reasoning, but its own research also revealed the model behaves differently across languages — most cautious in English.
Anthropic’s J-lens tool exposes a hidden processing space inside Claude. OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work and GPT-5.6 models the same day.
OpenAI proposes a $320-per-household US stake while a leaked Treasury report compares the AI market to the dotcom bubble. Samsung profits jump 1,800%.
AI process optimization is a $113B market, but returns depend on existing operational discipline. 88% of leaders plan to invest within 18 months.
Research shows workers catch 18% fewer errors when AI is framed as an “employee.” Companies are already listing AI agents on org charts.
Trump wants to screen GPT-5.6 users before launch, OpenAI delays its IPO, and Apple raises MacBook prices by 20% due to AI chip costs.
SpaceX’s record $75B IPO, Bezos’s $41B AI startup Prometheus, and a glaucoma trial targeting cellular aging dominated a chaotic week in tech.
The Enhanced Games in Las Vegas let athletes dope openly. Clean competitors won anyway, two weightlifters got hurt, and VCs networked at the bar.
