nvidias open source flora labels an hour of robot video for 72 cents against about 88 50 on gpt 6 astra Nvidia's new open data engine, Flora, can annotate an hour of robot video for 72 cents, according to the company. Running the same job through OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra costs roughly $88.50. On paper that settles it. The benchmarks behind the claim are less tidy.

openmobile 2 open smartphone agents close in on closed rivals and app variety mattered more than data volume More data won't make a smartphone agent better on its own. The OpenMobile-2 team ran a controlled test where the data budget stayed the same and only the number of different apps the agent trained on changed. On apps it had never seen before, its success rate went from 60.7 to 67.5 percent.

openai pitches its latest models as a fix for bankings decades old cobol code Pull cash from an ATM and the transaction quite likely runs on a programming language created in 1959, while Eisenhower was still president. COBOL (the name stands for "common business-oriented language") processes 95% of all ATM transactions to this day. OpenAI now claims its newest models can convert that sort of code into something today's developers would recognize.

deepseeks v4 1 flash 1017 outscores larger models on agentic benchmark About twenty cents. Deepseek's own chart puts the cost of its new Flash model completing a single task on the DeepSWE coding benchmark at roughly that figure. On the same chart, competing models from OpenAI, Google and Anthropic range from $2 to more than $10 per task.

microsoft enters the ai decision model race late with decision 1 priced at 0 042 per million input tokens Microsoft has priced its new Decision-1 model at $0.042 per million input tokens and charges nothing for output. A price that low shows how quickly this category has stopped being a novelty and become a commodity.

robots are getting smarter but your household helper is still years away Tesla's Optimus humanoid could reach public buyers by the end of 2027, according to Elon Musk. At the same time, the most sophisticated robot brain at Google DeepMind still cannot look around a kitchen and gather the ingredients for a mushroom risotto into a basket.
