Demis Hassabis recently pointed out that while OpenAI’s Sam Altman is the face of the AI revolution, the actual engine under the hood of ChatGPT was built in Google's labs. It’s a bit like Google inventing the wheel, only to watch OpenAI drive off in a Ferrari. Every major AI you use today, from ChatGPT to Gemini, relies on a technology called the Transformer. In 2017, a group of Google researchers published a paper called “Attention Is All You…

Saheli Majumder Ambwani0 CommentsArtificial Intelligence, Latest NewsElon Musk AI image generation, xAI Grok Imagine API

Elon Musk’s xAI is no longer just playing defense. For months, Grok was tucked away behind a premium subscription on X (formerly Twitter).

The core of this update is the image-generation capability. By opening this up via API, xAI is directly challenging the dominance of Midjourney and OpenAI’s DALL-E.

Saheli Majumder Ambwani0 CommentsArtificial Intelligence, Latest News

Google just pulled off a massive technical swap. They’ve officially plugged their top-tier AI, Gemini 3, into the “AI Overviews” at the top of your search results. It’s a big deal because it changes Search from a static list of links into a back-and-forth dialogue.

Elon Musk’s AI Trouble: Why Europe is Fed Up with Grok

Saheli Majumder Ambwani0 CommentsBusiness, Latest News

Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, is back in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. This time, the drama isn't about a spicy tweet or a name change; it’s about Grok, the platform’s built-in AI.

The controversy exploded when a watchdog group, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), revealed that Grok’s “spicy mode” was used to generate an estimated 3 million sexualized images in just…
