Amazon detailed two improved large language models, Nova Lite and Nova Pro; a new realtime voice model called Nova Sonic; and a more experimental model called Nova Omni that performs a simulated kind of reasoning using images, audio, and video as well as text. The new models are being made available today to a limited number of customers.

The underlying issue is a technological design constraint: You can either create something highly personalized or something that scales to hundreds of people simultaneously, but rarely both. A seismic change is afoot that will dwarf the previous chasm, like the shift from black and white film to color cinema. Multimodal AI is poised to eliminate the joint scaling and personalization limitation, enabling truly multidimensional, adaptive experiences where each person experiences something completely unique, all generated in real time.

Context windows of AI models, which indicate the ability of a model to "remember" information, have increased over time. However, researchers have suggested new ways to increase long-term memory of AI models, as they often can't hold context over several sessions. 19-year-old founder Dhravya Shah is attempting to solve problems in this area by building a memory solution, called Supermemory, for AI apps.

AI character chatbots have grown to be the most discussed use of artificial intelligence applications for the year 2025. Their use goes beyond simple and mundane conversations as they have also assumed the roles of emotional partners, artistic collaborators and entertainment aides. Thanks to the Internet and the digitalization brought by Gen Z, the conversations with digitally constructed characters keeps on improving and developing.

For example, OpenAI said in a blog post that the model was trained to be less overly optimistic, a characteristic that can be observed in instances where a Sora-generated video shows the player missing the shot but still making it into the hoop. With Sora 2, OpenAI claims the player would miss the shot, and the ball would rebound off the backboard.

Elon Musk's Grok 4 from xAI positions itself as the bold, uncensored alternative, while OpenAI's ChatGPT continues to evolve with stronger reasoning and usability. Both claim to give you sharper answers and faster results, but the real test lies in how they perform when you need to debug code, dig through research, draft clear writing, or manage customer conversations. In this blog post, we'll look closely at where each one stands out,

Bringing AI into scientific research has been a game changer. NSF is proud to partner with NVIDIA to equip America's scientists with the tools to accelerate breakthroughs.

Brilliant Labs introduces the $299 Halo smart glasses, which enhance AI capabilities for natural conversations and environmental awareness through an upgraded multimodal AI agent.
