Nigerian Engineer Builds AI Robot That Could Change Jaw Surgery Forever

Imagine breaking your jaw in an accident. Or undergoing surgery to remove cancer from your face. Now imagine the surgeon spending precious time bending a tiny metal plate by hand, trying to make it fit your bone perfectly. One wrong bend could mean starting all over again. That slow, painstaking process may soon become history. A Nigerian-born engineer based in the United States has helped develop an AI-powered robotic system that could reshape reconstructive surgery

OpenAI Just Solved 10 Problems That Stumped Mathematicians for Years.

For years, AI has been impressive at writing emails, generating code, and answering questions. But solving problems that have puzzled some of the world's brightest mathematicians for years? That has always seemed like science fiction. Now, OpenAI says one of its newest internal AI models has done exactly that. According to the company, an unreleased research model named Astra produced 10 new advances across mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science

Microsoft Just Open-Sourced an AI That Can Turn One Photo Into a 3D Model in Seconds

Imagine taking a single photo of a shoe, a coffee mug, a car engine, or even a game character... Then, just a few seconds later, having a fully textured 3D model that's ready to use in a video game, movie, AR app, online store, or industrial design software. That sounds like science fiction. Microsoft just made it real. The tech giant has open-sourced TRELLIS.2, a powerful new 4-billion-parameter AI model that transforms a single image into a production-ready 3D asset

South Africa's Taxman Now Has AI. Hiding Income Just Got Much Harder

A Japanese AI Startup Says It Can Rival Anthropic's Best Models Without Building a Bigger AI. Meet Fugu Ultra.

Tech giants like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI have spent billions building ever-larger AI systems in the race for artificial intelligence supremacy. But a Japanese startup believes there may be another way. Instead of building a single gigantic AI brain, what if you could create a team of AI specialists that work together like experts solving a problem in the same room? That's the idea behind Fugu Ultra, a newly launched AI system from Tokyo-based startup Sakana AI.

Nigerian Schoolgirls Just Shocked the World With an AI Victory Nobody Saw Coming
