“It’s not gonna be one Bear Stearns moment,” Zitron explained. “It’s gonna be a succession of events until the markets freak out.” The crux of the problem, according to Zitron, is Nvidia. The chip maker’s stock represents 7 to 8 percent of the S&P 500’s value, and the broader market has become dependent on Nvidia’s… Read More: Ars Live recap: Is the AI bubble about to pop?… »
Claude 4.5 is available everywhere today. Through the API, the model maintains the same pricing as Claude Sonnet 4, at $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. Developers can access it through the Claude API using “claude-sonnet-4-5” as the model identifier. Other new features Some ancillary features of the Claude family… Read More: Anthropic says its new AI model “maintained focus” for 30… »
On Thursday, OpenAI announced ChatGPT Pulse, a new “push” feature that generates personalized daily updates for users without having to ask each time. The preview feature, available now for Pro subscribers on mobile, marks OpenAI’s latest attempt to make ChatGPT proactive rather than reactive, with the AI model conducting overnight research to deliver morning updates… Read More: ChatGPT Pulse delivers morning updates based on your chat history »
