Arlo updates its security system to caption what cameras see and detect gunshots
Arlo is expanding the AI features offered in its subscription security service as part of its new Arlo Secure 6 update. The updated system will offer improved video search, give cameras and doorbells a greater ability to identify possible emergency events and automatically create captions for anything your security system records when it starts rolling out later in May.
As part of Arlo Secure 6, cameras will not only be able to use object-detection to identify things like packages, but also send you a notification when they visually detect a flame. The list of things devices can detect via sound is also expanding to include gunshots, screams, barking and broken glass, making it easier to know when to call for help.
To make it easier to review footage, Arlo is now also using AI to generate captions for the clips your security system captures, that way you don't need to watch everything to know what's going on. And when you need to pull up a specific clip, Arlo Secure 6 will let you search for "specific keywords, descriptions, or time ranges" to find what you're looking for.
Both Google and Amazon have explored similar AI-powered features in their Nest Aware and Ring Home services, automatically identify smoke alarms or letting you search for a specific person or thing in video search. This Secure 6 update makes Arlo's service more competitive, while focusing on some specifics that neither Google or Amazon offer.
If you're already pay for an Arlo Secure plan, you should get the new Arlo Secure 6 features starting this month. Arlo offers two versions of its Secure subscription, a Plus plan for either $8 per month (one camera) or $18 per month (unlimited cameras), and a Premium plan for $25 per month.

2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks That Could Dominate the Rest of 2025
Advanced Micro Devices has reported three consecutive quarters of accelerating revenue growth, and the stock is starting to respond. Amazon has a monster opportunity in robotics that isn't reflected in its current valuation. 10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices › As long-term investors, it's most important to focus on where a company will be in 10 years and invest accordingly. But it's also beneficial to find growth stocks benefiting from catalysts that could send their shares higher in the near term. After falling earlier this year, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) are starting to see their share prices rise. AMD is a leader in supplying artificial intelligence (AI) chips to data centers, while Amazon is benefiting enormously from its increasing use of robotics in its fulfillment centers. Here's what's driving these stocks higher and why they have room to run. Shares of AMD have soared 61% since hitting a 52-week low of $76.48 in April. The company reported its third consecutive quarter of accelerating revenue growth as it prepares to launch new versions of its MI300 series of graphics processing units (GPUs) for data centers. AMD is building momentum. It recently announced an agreement with Saudi Arabia's new AI enterprise HUMAIN to build cost-efficient computing systems using AMD chips to power advanced AI workloads for enterprises, start-ups, and governments. This news comes as AMD is set to launch its MI350 GPU. Its first data center GPU debuted in 2023: the MI300 chip, which raked in $5 billion of revenue last year. The MI350 promises 35 times more throughput and performance than the MI300x, and management said on the first-quarter earnings call that customer interest is "very strong." Oracle is already in line to deploy a large-scale cluster powered by MI355x accelerators for AI workloads. AMD reported a 36% year-over-year increase in revenue in the first quarter, accelerating from a 24% increase in the fourth quarter of 2024. The momentum is catching investors' attention heading into the company's upcoming Advancing AI event, where analysts are expecting it to announce new design wins and potentially new customers for its GPUs. During the first-quarter earnings call, management noted positive customer feedback and plans for broader deployments for its MI400 chip, which is being launched in 2026. Even with the risk that chip export controls might pressure revenue, CEO Lisa Su doesn't see China chip restrictions changing AMD's long-term addressable market, which is estimated at $500 billion. AMD is on track to finish 2025 on a high note. The consensus analyst estimate has earnings per share growing 20% in 2025 before surging 44% in 2026, according to Yahoo! Finance. Given this expectation, the stock's forward price-to-earnings multiple of 31 could support more gains in the near term. Shares of Amazon have rebounded 42% from their 52-week low of $151.76. With analyst estimates calling for record earnings in 2025 and 2026, the stock could be ready to hit new highs in the second half of the year. The company reported a 62% year-over-year increase in earnings in the first quarter. Its growing use of robotics across its fulfillment network is starting to gain attention on Wall Street that could send its stock higher in the second half of 2025. There's no retailer more invested in robotics than Amazon. Since it acquired robotics company Kiva Systems in 2012, Amazon has continued to lean into this technology to improve delivery speeds and efficiency. It has the largest fleet of industrial robots, with over 750,000 across its fulfillment network. This technology is getting very sophisticated, and it uses different types of robots for various tasks. For example, its Vulcan robot knows how much force to apply to an object to avoid damaging it. Amazon says it has several initiatives underway to improve its cost structure. It is reportedly testing the use of humanoid robots for carrying packages from the delivery van to a customer's door. This could be very beneficial to margins in the long run, since the last mile typically accounts for over half of total shipping costs. With AI and robotics getting more advanced every year, now's the time to buy Amazon stock. Robots are only going to get more capable in the coming years, which will increase the number of tasks they can handle in the company's fulfillment centers. This spells massive productivity gains and margin improvement that is not reflected in the stock's current valuation. The shares are trading at 35 times 2025 earnings estimates, which looks very reasonable considering the robust earnings growth over the past year and opportunities for higher margins over the long term. As Wall Street continues to pay attention to Amazon's opportunity in robotics, the stock could climb higher.

Is Frontier Energy (ASX:FHE) In A Good Position To Deliver On Growth Plans?
Even when a business is losing money, it's possible for shareholders to make money if they buy a good business at the right price. For example, although made losses for many years after listing, if you had bought and held the shares since 1999, you would have made a fortune. But the harsh reality is that very many loss making companies burn through all their cash and go bankrupt. So, the natural question for Frontier Energy (ASX:FHE) shareholders is whether they should be concerned by its rate of cash burn. For the purposes of this article, cash burn is the annual rate at which an unprofitable company spends cash to fund its growth; its negative free cash flow. We'll start by comparing its cash burn with its cash reserves in order to calculate its cash runway. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. A company's cash runway is calculated by dividing its cash hoard by its cash burn. As at December 2024, Frontier Energy had cash of AU$14m and such minimal debt that we can ignore it for the purposes of this analysis. Importantly, its cash burn was AU$13m over the trailing twelve months. That means it had a cash runway of around 13 months as of December 2024. While that cash runway isn't too concerning, sensible holders would be peering into the distance, and considering what happens if the company runs out of cash. Depicted below, you can see how its cash holdings have changed over time. View our latest analysis for Frontier Energy Frontier Energy didn't record any revenue over the last year, indicating that it's an early stage company still developing its business. So while we can't look to sales to understand growth, we can look at how the cash burn is changing to understand how expenditure is trending over time. Over the last year its cash burn actually increased by 36%, which suggests that management are increasing investment in future growth, but not too quickly. However, the company's true cash runway will therefore be shorter than suggested above, if spending continues to increase. Admittedly, we're a bit cautious of Frontier Energy due to its lack of significant operating revenues. We prefer most of the stocks on this list of stocks that analysts expect to grow. Given its cash burn trajectory, Frontier Energy shareholders may wish to consider how easily it could raise more cash, despite its solid cash runway. Generally speaking, a listed business can raise new cash through issuing shares or taking on debt. Commonly, a business will sell new shares in itself to raise cash and drive growth. By comparing a company's annual cash burn to its total market capitalisation, we can estimate roughly how many shares it would have to issue in order to run the company for another year (at the same burn rate). Since it has a market capitalisation of AU$103m, Frontier Energy's AU$13m in cash burn equates to about 13% of its market value. As a result, we'd venture that the company could raise more cash for growth without much trouble, albeit at the cost of some dilution. Even though its increasing cash burn makes us a little nervous, we are compelled to mention that we thought Frontier Energy's cash burn relative to its market cap was relatively promising. We don't think its cash burn is particularly problematic, but after considering the range of factors in this article, we do think shareholders should be monitoring how it changes over time. Separately, we looked at different risks affecting the company and spotted 6 warning signs for Frontier Energy (of which 3 are concerning!) you should know about.
