Google Uses Gemini 4 to Make Its Open Model Nearly 3× Faster

What if an AI model could do the same work in less time, without losing the quality of its answers? That is what Google says it achieved in a recent engineering experiment, and the surprising part is that its new AI model helped improve another model rather than simply replacing it. Google reports that Gemini 4 Argon helped make Gemma 4 E2B run nearly three times faster, completing the optimization in just a few days.

Anthropic Warns AI Could Spread Through Smart TVs and Home Devices Without Data Centres

What if a cyberattack did not need a powerful computer or a massive data centre to keep going? What if it could use the devices already sitting in people's homes? That is the unsettling possibility raised by new research from Anthropic, the company behind Claude AI. In a report published on October 12, 2026, Anthropic warned that relatively small AI models could soon become capable of copying themselves across internet-connected devices and running on the hardware they find.

OpenAI’s New AI Chip Just Took Aim at Nvidia, And the Numbers Are Interesting

For years, the AI boom has had a familiar supporting character: Nvidia. Every time AI models get smarter, companies need more computing power to run them. And for much of that journey, Nvidia’s powerful GPUs have been the hardware behind the scenes. Now, OpenAI wants to change that. On August 25, OpenAI revealed the first public benchmark results for Jalapeño, its custom AI inference chip developed with Broadcom.
