Moments later, debris from a drone struck the five-star Fairmont hotel - Baker and her friends were standing right across the street. We all were scared, she says.

OpenAI reportedly plans to add Sora video generation to ChatGPT

Engadget

The company launched its Sora 2 model in September 2025 alongside a dedicated Sora app. OpenAI plans to add its Sora video generation model directly into ChatGPT, reports . The standalone Sora app was seen as a smash hit when it launched alongside Sora 2 in September 2025, but interest in the video generation app has fallen in the time since as users ran into limits on the amount and kinds of videos they could create. Adding Sora to the ChatGPT could give the model a second life, and ideally grow the ChatGPT app's weekly active users from the 900 million OpenAI reported in February, to a billion or more. According to, the standalone Sora app will stick around after the model is integrated, even though the app has fallen out of the App Store's top 100 free apps and only a small number of users reportedly share their videos publicly in the app.

Drone attack on market in Sudan kills 11, as air war civilian toll mounts

Al Jazeera

A drone attack on a busy market in western Sudan has killed 11 people and wounded dozens more, including children, as the United Nations warns that the country's rapidly escalating air wars have claimed more than 200 civilian lives in little over a week. The attack on Adikong market, near Sudan's border with Chad, ignited fuel reserves and sent flames tearing through the area on Thursday. MSF described it as the second deadly drone attack on the same area in less than a month. Drones have become a key weapon used by both sides in the war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces that began in April 2023. UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk said on Thursday he was appalled by the scale of intensifying aerial assaults on civilians in the war, warning that more than 200 people had been killed by drones across the Kordofan region and White Nile state since March 4 alone.

Nothing updates its AI app with semantic search and a new way to track events

Engadget

The updated Essential Space is available on all 2025 and 2026 Nothing phones with an Essential Key. In the mad dash many companies have made to incorporate AI features into their phones, Nothing arrived at one of the better ideas with Essential Space on the Nothing Phone 3a in 2025. The AI-powered app turns screenshots and voice recordings into actionable to-do lists and transcriptions, and now Nothing is rolling out an update to make the app easier to search and capable of recognizing new kinds of content. As part of the update, Essential Space now recognizes Events, displaying them in their own card with fields for the date, time and location. That means, for example, if you add a photo of a flyer for pottery class to the app, Essential Space will be able to pull the details of when and where it's happening, and track it in much the same way it does tasks or to-dos.

AMD wants you to buy a 2,000 'agent PC' just for AI

PCWorld

PCWorld reports AMD's new "agent PC" concept featuring Ryzen AI Max+ processors designed to run AI agents continuously as dedicated secondary machines. These $2,000+ systems offer 128GB memory capacity and local AI processing through OpenClaw platform, providing privacy advantages over cloud solutions. High component costs and complex installation processes currently limit consumer adoption, with alternatives like Raspberry Pi potentially more practical. You already have a laptop or desktop PC, but now AMD thinks you need another one--an "agent PC" to support your main machine. AMD has responded to the growing success of OpenClaw's AI agents with a new suggestion: customers should buy "agent PCs," which would take the power of the Ryzen AI Max+ processor (surprise!) and repurpose it to run an agent swarm.
