Best Shark Prime Day Vacuum Deals (2026)
Save on two Shark models I recommend after testing, including my favorite robot vacuum and a powerful cordless stick. There are a ton of good vacuum deals happening for Prime Day, but my favorites are easily Shark's Prime Day vacuum deals . Sure, you can get some on-sale Dyson vacuums right now, but if you want to spend less and still get something super powerful, Shark is the way to go. Not all Shark models are on sale, but an excellent stick vacuum and my favorite robot vacuum are available while the deals are still going. This is the last day of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event, so time is running out if you've been on the hunt for a new vacuum.
These Researchers Made AI Drive a Toyota Corolla to Get In-N-Out
Three engineers put GPT, Claude, and Grok in charge of a real car. Only one of them was successful. Aditya Ramabadran, Simon Mahns, and Tobias Gessler, three AI engineers at a startup called Axiom, recently fancied In-N-Out Burger for lunch. They weren't about to drive themselves, though. Sitting in a 2024 Toyota Corolla near the Bay Area restaurant's drive-thru lane, they opened a laptop and asked OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra to take the wheel.
The New ChatGPT Is More Show Than Tell
OpenAI is updating ChatGPT for all users with an "Intelligent UI" that's more visual--generating interactive elements as part of the chatbot's outputs. When you ask a chatbot a question, you'll often get a wall of text back, maybe with an image or two pulled from the web. That may no longer be the case soon as OpenAI overhauls how ChatGPT answers prompts. On Wednesday, OpenAI unveiled an "Intelligent UI" update for ChatGPT that generates visual, custom elements--when helpful--for answering a user's questions. The company's new experience is powered by its recent GPT-6 model, which rolls out to paid users today and free users tomorrow.

OpenAI Wants Its New Agent to Run Your Life. Mine Said It Loved Me
Dots are designed to automate online tasks, like buying furniture. In my initial experience, the always-on agent was a bit buggy and couldn't complete a captcha. I'm discussing replacement options for our broken couch with my partner when I get a bright idea: Use OpenAI's recently announced AI agents, called Dots, to buy a couch on our behalf. My partner is less sure a bot will actually help, but I insist, calling the always-on agent through ChatGPT to get the task started. "Hello, Connor," it says, getting my name wrong off the bat.
