ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude all went down at the same time
OpenAI's ChatGPT, xAI's Grok, and Anthropic's Claude are all experiencing issues. At around 11AM ET, ChatGPT started returning error messages for users trying to use the chatbot, with its status page saying there are currently "elevated errors across ChatGPT and Codex." In addition to preventing users from having conversations with ChatGPT, the outage is also affecting logins, file uploads, voice mode, search, deep research, image generation, and more. OpenAI says it has "applied a mitigation" and is "monitoring recovery," though its AI tools are still experiencing "degraded performance." The outage comes as OpenAI teases the launch of Astr … Read the full story at The Verge.

Microsoft AI’s MAI-Transcribe-2 undercuts OpenAI, Google and ElevenLabs on price and speed
Microsoft AI on Thursday released MAI-Transcribe-2, a speech-recognition model the company says is faster, more accurate, and cheaper than anything OpenAI, Google, or ElevenLabs currently sells. Then it priced the thing at 10 cents per hour of audio.That figure deserves a pause. When Microsoft AI shipped the first model in this line just five months ago, it charged $0.36 an hour. Thursday s early-bird price cuts that by roughly 72%. For an enterprise processing 100,000 hours of call-center audio a year — a modest volume for a large bank or telecom — the bill drops from $36,000 to $10,000. At that level, transcription stops being a line item anyone argues about.The release arrives as Microsoft executes a strategy that would have seemed implausible two years ago: building its own frontier-class models one modality at a time, then steadily swapping them into products that once ran on OpenAI s technology. Transcription is the modality where that plan has moved fastest, and MAI-Transcribe-2
The AI visibility gap: Why great brands disappear from AI answers
Presented by ContentfulMost marketing teams still measure visibility the same way they always have: rankings, click-through rates, and organic traffic. But buyers have moved on. Search tools and AI engines now synthesize answers directly on the screen, creating a world of zero-click searches where your website is entirely bypassed. The “old days” are not coming back. The question for marketers is no longer, How do we rank first? It s How do we become part of the answer?The answer isn t publishing more content; it’s making your knowledge impossible for AI to ignore.Brand visibility has a new dimensionShowing up is only half the battle. Where you appear inside an AI-generated response matters just as much.Think about the experience. If your brand is mentioned after multiple answer cards, product recommendations, follow-up questions, and community discussions, most people will never see it. Ranking reports won t capture that.One way to think about this is pixel depth. Instead of measuring
How Sonos rebooted itself
Today, I’m talking with Tom Conrad, the CEO of Sonos. Tom and I have known each other for a long time — he was the chief technology officer of Pandora, VP of product at Snap, and the chief product officer of Quibi. He was also on the board at Sonos during its disastrous 2024 app redesign that threatened to crash the entire brand. Tom took over as interim CEO to right the ship during that period, and then took the permanent role just about a year ago. As you’ll hear him say, he thinks Sonos is fully out of that period now, and on to its next chapter with a huge product and platform launch called Sonos 27.

DJI’s new robovac can climb obstacles, vacuum quietly, and claims much improved privacy
DJI has announced a second generation of its Romo robovac. The Romo 2 series is quieter, more powerful, and better at climbing over small steps and other obstacles. But more importantly for DJI, a new local-only data mode should go some way to reassuring anyone concerned by the first Romo's serious security flaws. There are actually two new Romo models, the transparent P2 and the opaque A2. Both benefit from improved navigation, apparently able to avoid cables and other obstacles as small as 2mm in size, as well as transparent objects like mirrors or glass. There's also "human-like reasoning and concept transfer" that supposedly allows Romo … Read the full story at The Verge.
