A Russian drone attack has killed at least four people and wounded 21 in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro, damaging high-rise buildings and triggering fires in a hotel and homes, the regional governor said, as Moscow claims to have made gains on the ground elsewhere. Late Friday, Russia sent "more than two dozen drones" to Dnipro, the governor of the surrounding Dnipropetrovsk region, Sergiy Lysak, wrote on his official Telegram account on Saturday. "The massive attack caused large-scale destruction and fires. A hotel and restaurant complex, 11 private houses, garages, and a service station were on fire," he said, adding that high-rises and cars were also damaged. Pictures and videos posted online showed flames and large plumes of smoke wafting skyward.

The reviews train rolls on at Engadget. We've had another busy couple of weeks, and more new devices are arriving for testing every day.

Visit tech startup Skydio's headquarters on the San Francisco peninsula in California and you're likely to find flying robots buzzing on the roof overhead. Docking stations with motorised covers open to allow small drones that resemble the TIE fighters from Star Wars films to take off; when each drone lands back again, they close. The drones can fly completely autonomously and without GPS, taking in data from onboard cameras and using AI to execute programmed missions and avoid obstacles. Skydio, with more than 740m in venture capital funding and a valuation of about 2.5bn, makes drones for the military along with civilian organisations such as police forces and utility companies. The company moved away from the consumer market in 2020 and is now the largest US drone maker.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervises the test of suicide drones with artificial intelligence technology, according to local media, at an unknown location, in this photo released by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency on March 27, 2025.

SUZANNE'S TWIN: Suzanne Somers passed away two years ago, but her memory lives on, not only through her Hollywood career and businesses, but artificial intelligence too. Her widower, Alan Hamel, worked with an AI company called Hollo to create a "twin" of his late wife.

Artificial intelligence has traditionally advanced through automatic accuracy tests in tasks meant to approximate human knowledge. Carefully crafted benchmark tests such as The General Language Understanding Evaluation benchmark (GLUE), the Massive Multitask Language Understanding data set (MMLU), and "Humanity's Last Exam," have used large arrays of questions to score how well a large language model knows about a lot of things. However, those tests are increasingly unsatisfactory as a measure of the value of the generative AI programs. Something else is needed, and it just might be a more human assessment of AI output. Also: AI isn't hitting a wall, it's just getting too smart for benchmarks, says Anthropic That view has been floating around in the industry for some time now.
