On Tesla's earnings call Wednesday, CEO Elon Musk announced that the company had begun early production of its humanoid robot on its high-volume lines in Fremont, California.

An investment research firm wanted to prove AI could revolutionize drug development. So they teamed up with Anthropic to see whether an unreleased version of Claude could make scorpion antivenom. It couldn't. It came up with some promising starting points, but nothing close to an actual drug, experts tell The Verge.

The Find X10 Pro Max’s design is still camera-centric, but less extreme than most Ultra phones. Oppo's Find X10 Pro Max is the first phone with a triple 200-megapixel camera, which you're likely to see as either a masterful feat of engineering or a load of hyped-up marketing nonsense. The truth is somewhere in the middle. We've seen 200-megapixel cameras in phones before, starting with 2022's Moto X30 Pro. This year's Vivo X300 Ultra was the first phone to feature two of them - with 200-megapi

The Eiliko robot toy. | Photo by Sean Hollister / The Verge Eiliko, a cute robot charm you can hang on your bag with built-in AI conversations, turned out to be a security nightmare.

How much do you know about permafrost? Maybe, like me, you’ve been aware that this layer of frozen soil is thawing, that it’s important in the global puzzle of climate change … and that’s about the extent of it.   The great news for both of us is that my colleague James Temple just published two…
