1/ The Llamas Have Landed: Meta’s Scout & Maverick Redefine What AI Can Do

Meta just dropped its Llama 4 lineup, and it's wild—Scout and Maverick are open-weight, natively multimodal models with massive context windows (10M and 1M tokens), beating out top players like GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash on key benchmarks. Scout runs on a single H100 GPU and still beats Mistral 3 and Gemma 3, while Maverick is both more powerful and more efficient than its rivals. Both use a mixture-of-experts setup to keep costs low and speed high. Oh, and they teased a 2T-parameter beast called Behemoth that’s still training but already outperforming GPT-4.5 and Claude 3.7.

2/ TSMC to the Rescue? Intel’s Big Comeback Bet

Intel might be teaming up with its biggest rival, TSMC, in a bold move to fix its struggling chip biz. The White House reportedly helped broker the deal, with TSMC eyeing a 20% stake—not in cash, but by lending its top-tier manufacturing know-how. New Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is shaking things up after a brutal $16B loss last year. But not everyone's onboard—Intel execs are reportedly nervous about layoffs and losing control. If it goes through, this could be a game-changing U.S. foothold for TSMC and a potential lifeline for Intel.

3/ Adobe’s New AI Tool Makes Video Edits Effortless—Extend, Search, Translate!

Adobe just dropped its first Firefly-powered AI feature in Premiere Pro called Generative Extend. It lets editors automatically extend video and audio clips in 4K quality, with AI filling in the gaps seamlessly. Plus, there’s a new AI search to find content like people or objects using natural language. And for those who deal with subtitles, the Caption Translation tool can instantly convert them into 27 languages. These updates aim to save time and improve workflow without losing creative control.

4/ OpenAI Lost $5B… And Just Scored $40B More?

AI just crushed the Turing test—GPT-4.5 fooled humans 73% of the time in UC San Diego’s latest study. Judges chatted with both AI and real people, relying on casual convo and emotional cues to tell them apart. Turns out, AI did it better, even outperforming actual humans in some cases. Meta’s LLaMa-3.1 also held its own with a 56% success rate, while older models barely hit 20%. The Turing test used to be the ultimate AI benchmark—now, it’s just another milestone in the AI takeover.

5/ AI Power Without the Price Tag? Cohere Just Cracked the Code

Cohere just dropped Command A, an enterprise AI model that’s fast, efficient, and runs on just two GPUs—a huge win for companies looking to cut costs. It outperforms GPT-4o and DeepSeek-V3 in speed, business tasks, and multilingual support while packing a 256k context window for handling massive documents. Plus, it integrates seamlessly into Cohere’s North platform for secure AI-powered workflows. With superior efficiency and enterprise-ready features, this could be a game-changer for private AI deployments.
