Streaming has always been a two-horse race between YouTube and Netflix, and for the most part, they stayed out of each other’s lane. While YouTube built its business around creators and ad revenue, Netflix focused on paying for professionally produced content. That truce appears to be over. Netflix has spent the past year going after YouTube’s biggest stars with big checks, and now YouTube is fighting back in kind, with even bigger checks of its own. What is YouTube offering creators? According to a Bloomberg report, YouTube is dangling millions of dollars in front of popular creators if they agree…

Here’s an uncomfortable question for the generative AI era: if an AI creates an image, can anyone actually point to the specific images that influenced it? A new study from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory suggests that, for sufficiently large models, the answer may often be no. Researchers Dai and Gifford describe the phenomenon as “attribution decay” in their open-access paper, published today in Nature Communications. It refers to how the influence of any individual piece of training data becomes increasingly difficult to detect as the size of the dataset grows. The bigger the dataset, the fuzzier the…

Google is currently behind OpenAI and Anthropic at the top end of the frontier-model race. Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol both rank ahead of Gemini 3.1 Pro on major independent benchmarks, while Google’s long-awaited Gemini 3.5 Pro remains in testing after reportedly falling short of internal performance targets. While Google works on closing that gap, it is also pushing Gemini aggressively toward a very different audience. Eligible U.S. college students can now get Google AI Pro free for an entire year, alongside a new Student Hub built specifically around studying, coursework, and research. What students actually get…

The technology uses the earbuds’ cameras to understand what’s happening around the wearer and provide that visual context to Siri…

Google is giving Gemini Live a pretty meaningful upgrade with the addition of Deep Research. The feature is rolling out today to all Gemini app users, letting you start a full research task through a voice conversation and come back to the finished report later. Deep Research has already been available inside Gemini for some time. Instead of giving you a quick chatbot answer, Gemini can dig through multiple sources, follow useful leads, and put together a much more detailed report with citations. The process can take several minutes, but you don’t have to keep Gemini open while it works.…
