Studio by Spotify Labs is a new standalone AI app that generates a daily briefing, podcasts, and playlists on your PC using chatbot prompts. The AI-generated content draws from your Spotify listening history, as well as info from apps you connect to it, like your email inbox, calendar, and notes. Spotify says its AI can also "take action on your behalf," such as "researching topics, using a web browser, organizing information, and helping complete tasks." Any content you generate in Studio, like a daily briefing podcast, can be saved to your Spotify library. It will be launching "in the comin...

A still from Innovative Dreams, a new production company by Luma and Wonder Project | Image: Luma/X This is Lowpass by Janko Roettgers, a newsletter on the ever-evolving intersection of tech and entertainment, syndicated just for The Verge subscribers once a week. Hollywood is cooked - or so a growing number of people on social media would like you to believe. Their purported proof: AI-generated clips of Daniel Craig riding a Vespa through an Italian city, Godzilla fighting King Kong, or The Avengers zooming through Manhattan. In reality, cheap slop like this won't replace Hollywood blockbust...

Telcos around the world are building sovereign AI factories based on the NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) reference architecture, giving governments, enterprises, and startups access to in‑country AI infrastructure with the right controls, trust, and performance. But infrastructure alone doesn’t get you to high-margin, production-ready enterprise AI services. Model sizes and reasoning workloads… Source

Hey, I have a few Claude questions and I’m hoping someone here knows what’s going on. \- Is Sonnet 4.5 actually being removed? I’ve seen posts saying it was taken out, but I still have access to it on Claude Pro. I honestly like it way more than 4.6, but I don’t want to get attached if it’s going to disappear soon. \- Why is Sonnet 4.6 suddenly denying my prompts? I mainly use Claude for writing novels and fanfics, and 4.6 was working pretty well for that until today, when it started refusing requests out of nowhere. and yes, sometimes I ask it to write more mature/spicy scenes for contex...

My son (10) and his cousin (10) love games and asked me if they can "make a game", since they've seen me in the past couple of months, vibecoding different little helpers. I of course explained that it's not a one-shot solution and that they first should sit down, plan the game out and write down what they like the game to be, to look like, to feel, etc. So they did: the assets, the obstacles, the design st...

Elon Musk’s new pay package at SpaceX, the largest in corporate history, comes with one little catch: He doesn’t get the money until one million people live on Mars. The SpaceX board granted Musk one billion restricted shares of Class B common stock on top of his existing stake of roughly 5 billion shares, worth roughly $700 billion at the expected IPO valuation of $1.75 trillion. The new shares, potentially worth an additional $600 billion or more, only vest if SpaceX hits two conditions: its top market capitalization milestone of $7.5 trillion, and the creation of a permanent human colony...

Today I’m talking with Liz Lopatto, who spent the last month covering the Musk v. Altman trial in all its chaos. You’ll hear her describe the courthouse as a “zoo” and explain that there were protests of one kind or another happening outside every day. Both Elon Musk and Sam Altman are big personalities, and people have a lot of feelings about both of them and the AI industry. And in the end… nothing happened! The jury found that Elon had filed his lawsuit after the statute of limitations had run out. You’ll hear Liz explain exactly what’s going on there. Beyond that, the trial was nominally ...
