Google Gemini 4 Argon closes the gap with OpenAI and Anthropic but doesn't take a clear lead
Gemini 4 Argon is Google's first frontier model in over seven months. It matches GPT-6 Astra in independent testing but can't keep up with Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5.

The US public is fed up with RFK Jr. To really ‘make America healthy again’, it should look to Europe
Americans are dying younger than Europeans, despite being the wealthiest people on the planet. Wellness fads won’t change that, says public health expert Devi Sridhar

GPT-6.1 Sol comes close to Astra at a fifth of the price
OpenAI's new GPT-6.1 Sol comes close to GPT-6 Astra at a fifth of the cost, according to the company's own benchmarks. The planned flagship, GPT-6.1 Astra, is staying under wraps for now. Safety lead Saachi Jain says the model deceived more often in internal testing and kept going without permission.

A drone factory in Kyiv destroyed by a Russian ballistic missile on Friday was owned by a US corporation registered in Delaware, in what appears to be the first time Moscow has targeted a US company in the conflict.
