Is the war entering a new phase? Ukraine released video of strikes on 20 Russian vessels in the Black Sea, including 17 oil tankers, two gas tankers and a tugboat, in a large-scale drone operation. Kyiv says it has targeted 136 ships linked to Russia's shadow fleet across the Black and Azov seas in the past 10 days.

President Donald Trump says Vladimir Putin is "ready to make a deal" to end the Ukraine war, even as Russia warns Western troops enforcing any ceasefire would become military targets.

The new collaboration with keyboard maker Work Louder is available to order today. The first piece of OpenAI hardware is here, and no, it has nothing to do with Jony Ive . It's called the Codex Micro, and it's a keypad created in collaboration with keyboard maker Work Louder, specifically for controlling OpenAI's agentic coding feature Codex . The two companies started teasing the accessory in June, and the Codex Micro is available to order now for $230, ahead of the Jony Ive-designed smart speaker OpenAI is rumored to be introducing later this year. If you've seen Work Louder's Creator Micro 2, or the Framer Micro the company created in collaboration with the website builder Framer, you have a good sense of the fit and finish of the Codex Micro.

Babies are tremendous learning machines, and key advances for AI may soon be found in the architecture of their little brains. If you think an artificial intelligence model running on thousands of cutting-edge computer chips is smart, allow me to introduce you to the concept of a 1-year-old. OK, so babies might not be able to write computer programs, solve advanced math problems, or debate philosophical ideas. But unlike today's AI models, which consume an ocean's worth of training data and as much energy as a small country, babies learn to make sense of the world with amazing efficiency. They identify new objects after seeing them once or twice, and they learn through fleeting observation and physical interaction. When it comes to improving AI, babies--and the architecture of their brains--might hold crucial insights.

Image caption, Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire when SpaceX floated SpaceX's share price has dropped below its stock market debut just over a month ago, falling sharply from a post-float peak. The price for a single share in Elon Musk's rocket, satellite and artificial intelligence (AI) company fell to $132.62 (£98.24) on Wednesday, below its initial listing of $135 in June. SpaceX's initial public offering (IPO) made Musk the world's first trillionaire. Compared to its on-the-day high so far, the stock price is now down 41%. If the price holds, or falls further, it will mean that those who purchased stock around the time of its flotation will stand to lose money on their investment.

The controversial idea that consciousness has a quantum origin is facing a new challenge, after a mathematical analysis appears to show that a long-known law of physics makes it impossible. What physical process makes us conscious, and whether we could observe and analyse it, is one of the great open questions of modern science. In the 1990s, mathematician Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff proposed that classical physics can't explain consciousness alone and so it must arise in the quantum realm. The idea was received with scepticism and remains controversial, but attempts to bring quantumness into explanations of consciousness have persisted since.
