Perhaps "genie" is a bit too strong - I'm simply using GPT 5.5 Pro, the latest iteration of OpenAI's flagship model. But for mathematicians, modern AI models appear to have a spark of magic.

BBC News

Meet the UK's very own LeBron James... but not as you know it Look out LeBron James and Michael Jordan, there's a new basketball champ around.

And the basketball-playing robot won a school in Lisburn first prize at the UK-wide First Tech Challenge robotics competition.
