DeepMind’s new Genie 3 world model meets Microsoft’s edge-to-cloud AI Foundry platform—the next frontier in interactive intelligence. In August 2025, Google DeepMind unveiled Genie 3, a new general-purpose world model capable of creating dynamic, interactive environments in real-time at 720p and 24 fps—based on nothing but a text prompt. These virtual worlds remain stable and navigable for minutes, enabling agents and users to explore, train, and interact in realistic simulations such as warehouses, ski slopes, or cityscapes Trained with over 11 billion parameters, Genie 3 uses a spatiotemporal video tokenizer, autoregressive dynamics model, and latent action models. It was built entirely from unlabeled internet videos—requiring

The AI genius behind ChatGPT turns down Meta’s offer, staying loyal to her vision at Thinking Machines Lab In Silicon Valley, turning down a $1 billion offer from Mark Zuckerberg sounds like fiction. But that’s exactly what happened when Mira Murati, former Chief Technology Officer at OpenAI, said “no thanks” to Meta’s buyout proposal. Zuckerberg, hoping to supercharge Meta’s AI game, reportedly approached Murati’s new venture — Thinking Machines Lab — with a generous offer to acquire the company. When she refused, he allegedly tried hiring away key engineers from her 50-person team, including co-founder Andrew Tulloch. The bold raid

From crop health scanners in Africa to robotic harvesters in Spain, AI is transforming agriculture and offering hope against global hunger and climate threats. Report by GlobalTimesAI.com | Published August 4, 2025 Climate change, soil degradation, and population growth are placing immense pressure on global food systems. The United Nations aims to eradicate hunger by 2030, but reaching that goal demands new solutions. Today, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is stepping into the field—not as a replacement for farmers, but as a technological ally enhancing productivity, sustainability, and food security. 1. Empowering Smallholder Farmers in Sub‑Saharan Africa In Cameroon, the startup AgrixTech,

From powering search to writing code—AI’s dominance grows as GitHub Copilot leads a revolution in software development. In a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence, yet another milestone marks the growing power of AI—this time in the world of coding. GitHub, the leading global platform for developers, has revealed that its AI-powered assistant, Copilot, has surpassed 20 million users since its launch in 2021. The announcement was made by GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke, who emphasized that AI tools like Copilot are becoming as essential to developers as cloud computing or version control systems like Git. “AI will be as fundamental
