Heist game Relooted gets a release date

Engadget

Apple's Siri AI will be powered by Gemini Reclaim stolen African artifacts with your crew on February 10. The intriguing Africanfuturist heist game,, is out on February 10. Developed by independent South African studio Nyamakop, the game focuses on a ragtag crew from Johannesburg that liberates real-life African artifacts from a series of fictionalized Western museums. You have to carefully plan each heist with your fellow teammates, knowing where to place each crew member and how you're going to get in and out in one piece. Once you've grabbed the artifact you're looking for in each mission, an alarm will sound and you have a limited amount of time to escape, so good preparation is vital.

WIRED

The Razr Fold Adds a Book-Style Foldable to Motorola's Lineup At CES 2026, the company also announced a new smartwatch, stylus, Bluetooth tracker, and even a weird AI pendant. Motorola has been honing its flip-style folding Razr smartphones for more than five years now, but it's finally time for a new of fold . At CES 2026, the company unveiled the Razr Fold, its first book-style folding phone akin to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series or Google's Pixel Fold, bringing more competition to the space in the US. If you've seen Google's or Samsung's options, the Razr Fold will look and feel familiar. It has a 6.6-inch display on the front screen, and when you open it up, you're treated to an 8.1-inch 2K resolution screen, around the same size as its competitors.


Spotify users think they've cracked the launch date for Spotify Wrapped - and it suggests there's not long to wait

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Spotify Wrapped is the streaming service's yearly review of users' listening habits. When it does arrive, the recap will likely fix the usual mix of users' top songs and most-streamed artists, as well as some interesting facts about how much you've listened over the year. In previous years, Spotify has always made sure to drop in a few unusual or surprising features, so expect to see a new way of reviewing your music this year. Despite users clamouring to learn when Spotify Wrapped will arrive, the company has never set a firm date for its release. Currently, you can access a landing page for the 2025 Spotify Wrapped, but it only links back to the 2024 recap.


LLMLagBench: Identifying Temporal Training Boundaries in Large Language Models

Large Language Models (LLMs) are pretrained on textual data up to a specific temporal cutoff. This creates a strict knowledge boundary beyond which models cannot provide accurate information without querying external sources. More subtly, when this limitation is unknown or ignored, LLMs may inadvertently blend outdated time-sensitive information with general knowledge during reasoning tasks, potentially compromising response accuracy. We introduce LLMLagBench, an LLM freshness benchmark, as a systematic approach for identifying the earliest probable temporal boundaries of an LLM's training data by evaluating its knowledge of recent events. We then apply this benchmark to evaluate a large set of LLMs, including models with both explicitly declared and undeclared training cutoffs. The reliability of the benchmark is assessed by manual validation and comparison with publicly released information about LLM pretraining.


Why does Grand Theft Auto 6 keep getting delayed?

BBC News

Why does GTA 6 keep getting delayed? When Grand Theft Auto 6 was delayed on Thursday, the famous quote from the series perfectly captured the feelings of many video game fans. It's the second time maker Rockstar Games has told players they'll have to wait even longer for what is likely to be one of the biggest entertainment releases ever. The notoriously perfectionist developer has a history of holding on to its blockbusters until it's happy with them, so the news wasn't a complete surprise. But it has got millions asking what's taking so long, and why. Rockstar Games officially confirmed it was working on GTA 6 in February 2022 and an initial trailer, released almost 18 months later, said it would come out in 2025.

NEWSAGENT: Benchmarking Multimodal Agents as Journalists with Real-World Newswriting Tasks

Recent advances in autonomous digital agents from industry (e.g., Manus AI and Gemini's research mode) highlight potential for structured tasks by autonomous decision-making and task decomposition; however, it remains unclear to what extent the agent-based systems can improve multimodal web data productivity. We study this in the realm of journalism, which requires iterative planning, interpretation, and contextual reasoning from multimodal raw contents to form a well structured news. We introduce NEWSAGENT, a benchmark for evaluating how agents can automatically search available raw contents, select desired information, and edit and rephrase to form a news article by accessing core journalistic functions. Given a writing instruction and firsthand data as how a journalist initiates a news draft, agents are tasked to identify narrative perspectives, issue keyword-based queries, retrieve historical background, and generate complete articles. Unlike typical summarization or retrieval tasks, essential context is not directly available and must be actively discovered, reflecting the information gaps faced in real-world news writing. NEWSAGENT includes 6k human-verified examples derived from real news, with multimodal contents converted to text for broad model compatibility. We evaluate open- and closed-sourced LLMs with commonly-used agentic frameworks on NEWSAGENT, which shows that agents are capable of retrieving relevant facts but struggling with planning and narrative integration. We believe that NEWSAGENT serves a realistic testbed for iterating and evaluating agent capabilities in terms of multimodal web data manipulation to real-world productivity.
