ChatGPT Surpasses 2.5 Billion Daily Requests: A Threat to Google's Throne? - Jordan News
It's also worth noting that other AI tools are seeing significant user growth as well. This includes xAI's Grok chatbot, integrated into the X platform (formerly Twitter), Meta AI embedded within Meta's platforms, and the AI search engine Perplexity—all of which signal that the generative AI landscape is becoming more competitive by the day.

Google backtracks on plans to deactivate shortened goo.gl links
Ammon News - Google is largely reversing course on its plans to discontinue support for all shortened URLs on August 25th. URLS that already show a message saying that they will be deactivated in August will still stop working — the company started showing the deactivation message nine months ago on URLs that 'showed no activity in late 2024' — but otherwise, 'all other links will be preserved and will continue to function as normal,' Google announced on Friday. Google, which stopped letting users make URLs in 2019, initially announced the August 25th deactivation deadline in July 2024. At that time, the company said that existing URLs saw 'less and less traffic as the years went on' and that more than 99 percent of the URLs 'had no activity in the last month.' But in its Friday post, Google said that 'we understand these links are embedded in countless documents, videos, posts and more, and we appreciate the input received.' TechCrunch

Google rolls out Gemini Deep Think AI
Ammon News - Google DeepMind is rolling out Gemini 2.5 Deep Think, which, the company says, is its most advanced AI reasoning model, able to answer questions by exploring and considering multiple ideas simultaneously and then using those outputs to choose the best answer. Subscribers to Google's $250-per-month Ultra subscription will gain access to Gemini 2.5 Deep Think in the Gemini app starting Friday. First unveiled in May at Google I/O 2025, Gemini 2.5 Deep Think is Google's first publicly available multi-agent model. These systems spawn multiple AI agents to tackle a question in parallel, a process that uses significantly more computational resources than a single agent, but tends to result in better answers. Google used a variation of Gemini 2.5 Deep Think to score a gold medal at this year's International Math Olympiad (IMO). Alongside Gemini 2.5 Deep Think, the company says it is releasing the model it used at the IMO to a select group of mathematicians and academics. Google says this AI model 'takes hours to reason,' instead of seconds or minutes like most consumer-facing AI models. The company hopes the IMO model will enhance research efforts, and aims to get feedback on how to improve the multi-agent system for academic use cases. Google notes that the Gemini 2.5 Deep Think model is a significant improvement over what it announced at I/O. The company also claims to have developed 'novel reinforcement learning techniques' to encourage Gemini 2.5 Deep Think to make better use of its reasoning paths. 'Deep Think can help people tackle problems that require creativity, strategic planning and making improvements step-by-step,' said Google in a blog post shared with TechCrunch.

OpenAI CEO reveals his safety plan amid ‘people dropping bombs again'
Ammon News - In a world increasingly overshadowed by geopolitical tremors, even the architects of our digital future are preparing for a very analog threat—war. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI and the public face behind ChatGPT, has admitted that his home is fortified with a reinforced underground basement, hinting at anxieties far beyond the realm of artificial intelligence. Altman made the revelation during a recent appearance on comedian Theo Von's podcast This Past Weekend, where a casual question about bunkers turned into a surprisingly candid confession. 'I have, like, underground concrete, heavy reinforcement basements,' Altman said, though he was quick to clarify, 'but I don't have something I would call a bunker.' Von, not missing a beat, quipped, 'That's a bunker, dude.' Altman responded with a rhetorical grin: 'What is the difference between a basement and a bunker?' Von's answer: 'A place you can hide when it all goes off or whatever.' Interestingly, Altman emphasized that his concerns aren't rooted in AI-driven doom scenarios—a frequent trope in media and sci-fi—but rather in the very real geopolitical volatility unfolding across the globe. 'I have been thinking, actually, that I should really do a good version of one of those [bunkers],' he added. 'Not because of AI but just because, like, people are dropping bombs in the world again.'
