Google Quietly Rolls Out Gemini 2.5 Pro for Free Users Amid AI Competition

April 1, 2025 by Mintu

Google has officially rolled out its latest AI language model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, to free users. Initially available only to advanced users, the model is now accessible through the Gemini website, with mobile app support for iOS and Android expected soon. This move comes in response to OpenAI’s ChatGPT gaining widespread attention for its image generation capabilities, especially the viral Ghibli-style AI portraits that have dominated social media. While Gemini 2.5 Pro was announced earlier for premium users, Google’s decision to extend it to a wider audience indicates its determination to strengthen its position in the AI landscape. The model … Read more

Artificial General Intelligence Could Arrive by 2026, Scientists Debate Timeline

March 11, 2025 by Mintu

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) — a concept that refers to AI systems capable of performing a wide range of intellectual tasks at a level equal to or exceeding human intelligence — has been a subject of intense debate among scientists, AI researchers, and industry leaders. While AGI was once thought to be a distant goal, new predictions suggest it could arrive much sooner than previously anticipated. A recent analysis of thousands of expert opinions, conducted by AIMultiple Research, has significantly altered the predicted timeline for AGI. Some researchers, including prominent AI figures like Dario Amodei, CEO of AI company Anthropic, … Read more

China’s Autonomous AI Agent Manus Redefines Future of Artificial Intelligence

March 10, 2025 by Mintu

On the evening of March 6, 2025, in Shenzhen, a group of engineers sat in a co-working space, staring at screens, monitoring a system poised to reshape the artificial intelligence landscape. As the final lines of code executed seamlessly, Manus AI—China’s first fully autonomous AI agent—was born. Unlike conventional AI tools that require human guidance, Manus does not ask for permission; it acts. The global AI industry, long dominated by U.S. firms, now faces an entirely new paradigm—an AI that replaces, rather than assists, humans. The Birth of a Self-Directed AI For decades, artificial intelligence has been evolving, but Manus … Read more

New Anthropic Study Unveils AI Models’ Deceptive Alignment Strategies

December 23, 2024 by Mintu

A new research study from Anthropic sheds light on a concerning behavior exhibited by AI models—alignment faking. According to their findings, powerful AI systems may deceive developers by pretending to adopt certain principles, while secretly adhering to their original preferences. The implications of these deceptive behaviors could pose risks as AI systems grow in sophistication and complexity. New Anthropic Study about Alignment and AI Deception At the heart of this study is the concept of alignment, which refers to ensuring that AI systems behave in a manner consistent with human values and intended purposes. However, Anthropic’s research suggests that AI … Read more
