JBL Flip 7 Skipped Amazon Prime Day, but Cuts Its Price Now Instead for a Limited Time

Party season is upon us all, and whether you're throwing a BBQ, having a birthday, or just trying to boost the morale of everyone involves, a party always needs good music. Short of becoming a whole band on your own, your best bet for fulfilling this essential need is with a really good portable Bluetooth speaker. While there are an immense number of these around, sometimes the deal maker is the discount.
Right now, you can get yourself a JBL Flip 7 for $130, which is 13% off the usual price of $150. This JBL Flip line of speakers is generally quite well-regarded, and this is one of the more powerful versions of it. However, this deal isn't going to last forever. In fact, it's a limited-time Amazon deal, which means it's not likely to last long at all. So, if you do want to add this speaker to your arsenal, you should do so as soon as you can.

As with any good portable Bluetooth speaker, the JBL Flip 7 is waterproof and dustproof, but it's also drop-proof. That last one is huge if you've got it positioned perfectly for acoustics, but precariously for gravity. Of course, you can also use the carabiner that comes with it to attach it to something that'll help it stay in place. It actually has a few different accessories that lock in with ease, so it's a lot more flexible as well.
The sound quality is excellent, of course, with JBL Pro Sound offering an immense range of highs and lows that'll have songs, well, singing. Any piece of music played through this will shine, and it even has AI Sound Boost, which analyses everything about the song it's playing to help tweak the EQ to make it more organic and natural. It does all of that with a massive 16-hour battery life as well, and of course, it charges quickly as so many modern bits of tech do.
That's a lot of power and functionality in one device, and it's the perfect partner for any party person who might be looking for a new way to spice things up. Just keep in mind that you will need to move quickly if you want to avoid missing out on the discount here and actually get it for $130, because the deal isn't likely to last long at all. You'd hate to miss out, and we'd hate that for you too.

AI Takes Gold at Math's Toughest Test

Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) says its latest Gemini Deep Think model read the official IMO problems in plain English and wrote out full proofs in just four and a half hours. It scored 35 out of 42 pointsthe first time any AI has hit gold?medal level at the Olympiad. Not to be outdone, OpenAI quietly posted on X that its experimental reasoning model matched that feat. Three former IMO medalists checked the proofs and unanimously gave it the same 35?point score, all under the same no?internet, no?tools conditions. Google plans to share the model with a few trusted mathematicians before rolling it out to subscribers. OpenAI calls its gold?level system purely experimental and won't release anything this powerful for several months. ADVERTISEMENT This is a big deal because it shows AI can handle real, structured problem solving. We might soon see AI helping students learn advanced math, researchers verify proofs in a flash, or even new kinds of math competitions where humans and machines go head to head.

Tesla Isn't a Car Company Anymore

Tesla may be in trouble. Investors and fans will get a clearer picture this Wednesday, July 23, when Elon Musk's carmaker publishes its second-quarter earnings. There is no doubt that the core business is facing significant headwinds. The electric vehicle pioneer is expected to post a 13 percent drop in revenue and a 25 percent plunge in earnings per share. But if you only listen to Musk on the earnings call, you might not even hear the word 'car.' Instead, expect a full-court press on robotaxis and artificial intelligence. Tesla recently launched a limited ride-hailing service in Austin, Texas, a move Musk is positioning as the first step toward delivering fully autonomous driving by the end of 2025. Analysts, investors, and the tech media are already spinning it as a breakthrough. But the numbers tell a different story. Tesla's global vehicle sales fell more than 13 percent in Q2. The expiration of the federal $7,500 tax credit on September 30 looms large. The Trump administration's new 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' is killing off the regulatory credits and emissions loopholes that once funneled billions in free cash flow to Tesla. The company's U.S. advantage is eroding, fast. Analysts at Bank of America, Piper Sandler, and Wedbush are all lowering expectations, citing tariffs, disappointing deliveries, and the end of EV subsidies as major headwinds. While Tesla will still make money from regulatory credits this year, that income stream is shrinking. Without government support or a serious rebound in demand, it is unclear what is left to support the company's massive valuation, besides AI hype. The disconnect between Tesla's performance and its perception is stark. Bank of America analysts recently noted that Q2 earnings are 'likely to be challenged due to tariffs' and 'disappointing deliveries.' It's the kind of language that would typically send a stock tumbling. Instead, they raised their price target, citing a 'more positive note': the launch of a limited robotaxi service in Austin. That small-scale test, they wrote, gives them more confidence in Musk's promise to deliver unsupervised full self-driving by the end of 2025. This sentiment is echoed across the financial world. The conversation is no longer about vehicle margins or delivery numbers. Instead, as Wedbush analyst Dan Ives puts it, Tesla's AI initiatives will be 'front and center for investors.' The earnings call will be scrutinized not for details on the Model Y refresh, but for any insight into Tesla's investment in Musk's other venture, xAI, and progress on the autonomous front. The quiet part Tesla doesn't want to say out loud is this: the EV market in the U.S. is cooling. Prices are too high, charging infrastructure is still lacking, and consumer anxiety is rising. Furthermore, Musk's close alliance with the Trump administration has turned off many of the progressive buyers who once drove demand. So now, the company is trying to shift its story from selling EVs to selling software; from cars to autonomy; from hardware to hope. Tesla's valuation is still propped up by belief. The belief that full self-driving is right around the corner. That robotaxis will scale quickly. That Musk can deliver on promises where other automakers and AI labs have failed. But belief is not revenue, and at some point, the fundamentals have to matter. On Wednesday's earnings call, you will hear about vision-only autonomy, FSD timelines, and 'the future of mobility.' You might not hear as much about declining sales, missed delivery targets, or shrinking margins. Investors should listen for what Tesla avoids as much as what it says. Musk will likely reiterate his belief that Tesla will achieve unsupervised full self-driving by the end of 2025. The tech mogul may also use the call to link Tesla more closely to xAI, the startup he founded as a rival to OpenAI. There is growing speculation that Tesla's infrastructure, data, and talent could be used to power xAI's development. That narrative plays well with tech investors and distracts from falling EV demand. But hope does not pay the bills. If the robotaxi project stumbles, or if consumers simply lose interest, Tesla may have little left to fall back on. The question now is not whether robotaxis will arrive, but whether they can arrive fast enough to save Tesla's struggling EV business. What made Tesla successful in the past was a combination of timing, subsidies, and an early-mover advantage. All of those are fading. The company's new advantage is narrative control. The car business is real. The problems are real. The earnings will tell that story. But does anyone still want to hear it?
