NVIDIA's NVLink Spine, unveiled at COMPUTEX 2025, offers unprecedented data transfer speeds, signaling a new era in AI infrastructure. By enabling seamless communication between GPUs and supporting integration with third-party components, it's poised to redefine how we build and scale AI systems.

Impulse Labs’ battery-powered stove is now in production—but the real innovation isn’t how it cooks. It’s how it thinks about energy. By building lithium-ion batteries into high-demand appliances, Impulse is turning the kitchen into a distributed power system. It’s not just a smart product. It’s a smarter grid.

Boom Supersonic just proved you can fly faster than sound without shaking the ground. Their “boomless cruise” tech quietly clears one of the biggest roadblocks to supersonic flight over land—and it’s more than an aviation win. It’s a signal that we’re on the verge of compressing geography, rewriting business travel, and making global culture feel local.

OpenAI’s new Codex agent isn’t just suggesting code—it’s running parallel tasks, fixing bugs, writing features, and submitting pull requests in the background. It lives in the cloud, spins up secure sandboxes per task, and is built to quietly handle the grind work of software development. If you’re still thinking of AI as a co-pilot, Codex feels more like a junior dev already shipping code.

Apple just got called out for dragging its feet on letting developers steer users to their own payment options—and the court isn’t buying the excuses. Epic’s legal win doesn’t just bring Fortnite back to iOS—it opens the door for a whole new way to build, sell, and distribute apps.

Fortnite players can now talk to Darth Vader using ElevenLabs’ AI voice tech, bringing James Earl Jones’ legendary tones to life. This collaboration with Epic Games showcases the future of AI-powered interactive gaming.

Airbnb’s latest update is a clear pivot: from place to stay to platform for everything. Chefs, massages, event tickets, AI trip planners—it’s all part of their push to become the default operating system for travel. But hospitality doesn’t scale like code, and moving into real-world services means Airbnb is stepping into much messier territory. The vision is big. The execution will be the test.

The internet wasn’t built to verify people—it was built to move packets. That worked when everyone online was human by default. But now, AI can mimic us with such precision that identity itself is breaking. The idea of a “Human Protocol”—a system that links biometric proof to blockchain verification—isn’t speculative anymore. It’s a direct response to a world where bots outnumber people and trust collapses without receipts. The question isn’t whether this merger happens. It’s who controls it when it does.

Skype’s closure marks the end of a pioneer in digital communication. This article explores how Skype lost its lead to Zoom and others, offering lessons for startups on why being first doesn’t guarantee lasting success.

The internet used to feel like freedom because anonymity was the default—and humanness was assumed. You didn’t know who you were talking to, but you knew it was a person. That assumption is now broken. AI can mimic humans so well that every interaction online is suspect. The Orb Mini isn’t just a device—it’s a response to that collapse. It’s a signal that in the next phase of the internet, proving you're human may be the price of entry.

A quick guide to Vitalik Buterin’s proposal for a RISC-V-based virtual machine on Ethereum—what it is, why it matters, and how it could shape the network’s future.
