Chrome may soon get AI Mode for direct answers in your browser's search bar
Google is testing a new way to bring artificial intelligence directly into its Chrome browser. Following recent moves to highlight AI features in its Google app, the company has started experimenting with an 'AI Mode' in Chrome's latest Canary build. This addition aims to give users quicker access to AI-generated answers right from the browser's search bar. The AI Mode icon appears near the existing voice and image search buttons (spotted by the Windows Report) on the Chrome New Tab page. When users click the icon, a text box opens where they can type questions or prompts. The system then provides an AI-generated response, which will let users interact and follow up easily within the browser itself.

According to reports from a leaker, Leopeva64, Google requires users to meet specific criteria to enable AI Mode. Those who do not qualify will see a page explaining the feature with a link to more information. This test adds another option to access Google's AI-powered search, which is already available through the Google app and via a dedicated web address at The integration into Chrome could make AI tools more accessible during everyday browsing.

OpenAI's Sam Altman Tells Us How Much Water Is Used When You Talk To ChatGPT
Last Updated: OpenAI and other tech companies need resources like water and power to keep the AI systems running and ChatGPT answer your questions. OpenAI and other AI giants like Google have people excited for the tech but there are concerns as to how much resources like water and electricity is needed to keep them running. ChatGPT is one of the popular chatbots in the market, and people have been wondering how much OpenAI needs to invest in hardware and other resources to make it faster and reliable. Guess what, Sam Altman has come out publicly to share some stats around the use of ChatGPT and how much energy as well as water the AI chatbot needs to respond to your queries. ChatGPT Needs Water And Energy But How Much? Altman has penned down his belief in a recent blog post, giving us details that will tell us how AI is going to evolve and hopefully consume less resources in the near future. Altman claims that one query with ChatGPT needs around 0.34 watt-hours of power, which is as low as running a light bulb for a few minutes. This might not sound like a lot for a single query but when you combine the billions of queries raised by the AI chatbot daily, you are looking at heavy usage of electricity. He then makes a similar point about the use of water to generate responses from the AI systems. Altman mentions that you need a teaspoon of water to make ChatGPT answer one query, which again seems harmless but in the broader scheme of things, that is a lot of gallons being utilised. Having said that, none of these figures have been verified so we would like to take it with a pinch of salt. In his defence, Altman cites the prospect of running AI coming down gradually like any other technology shift, but that is likely to happen in the long run, and concerns are that by then the taps might dry out for general use.

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta assembles AI dream team after poaching top talents from Google, Sesame
Meta Platforms Inc. has poached top engineers from leading tech firms, including Google and Sesame AI, as part of its new team focused on building advanced artificial intelligence systems. According to a Bloomberg report, Jack Rae, a senior researcher from Google DeepMind, is set to join Meta's newly formed 'superintelligence' group. Meta has also recruited Johan Schalkwyk, a machine learning expert from voice AI startup Sesame AI, as per sources familiar with the matter who requested anonymity. Apart from that, Alexandr Wang, CEO and co-founder of data labeling company Scale AI, is expected to be involved in the project. The 28-year-old, Scale CEO, is considered an influential figure in the AI space and has built strong connections in Washington. Meta is also reportedly close to finalising a multibillion-dollar investment in Scale AI, which could be announced this week. The initiative is part of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's larger strategy to compete with AI leaders like OpenAI and Google. He is hoping the newly assembled dream team will enhance Meta's AI tools—particularly its language model Llama 4. The aim is to help the company develop more powerful systems for speech recognition and personalized AI features, particularly artificial general intelligence (AGI). To attract top talent, Meta is offering generous compensation packages reportedly worth tens of millions of dollars over several years, including stock options. A Meta spokesperson declined to comment on the new hires, when reached out by Bloomberg. Jack Rae confirmed his departure from Google for Meta but did not provide further details. Schalkwyk has not responded to media requests. The news agency reported that Zuckerberg has personally reached out to potential recruits and even met with some at his homes in Lake Tahoe and Palo Alto. The company plans to bring together about 50 members for the new team, including a chief scientist to lead the group. 'There are very few people globally who can do those type of large AI trainings very, very efficiently,' said Vahan Petrosyan, co-founder of AI platform SuperAnnotate. 'For that reason, higher pay packages may make sense for companies like Meta.' However, not everyone is accepting Meta's offers. At least one top researcher from a major AI lab turned down Zuckerberg's proposal, according to a source. Meanwhile, competitors are also working to keep their top AI experts. Google has promoted Koray Kavukcuoglu, a leading figure in AI, to a new role as Chief AI Architect. In an internal memo, CEO Sundar Pichai said, 'Koray will help to accelerate how we bring our world-leading models into our products, with the goal of more seamless integration, faster iteration, and greater efficiency.' Google has not yet responded to requests for comment from Bloomberg yet. (Based on Bloomberg inputs)
