-
Image
Gemini enabled direct file creation within its chat interface, allowing users to generate multiple file formats through a prompt without switching applications or manually reformatting content. The capability supported Google Workspace files, including Docs, Sheets and Slides, and Microsoft formats such as Excel spreadsheets and Word documents. It also included PDFs, CSV files, LaTeX documents, plain text, rich text format and Markdown files. The workflow aimed to streamline the creative process by allowing users to start with an idea or brainstorm session in Gemini and convert it into a finished file without leaving the platform. It stated that a budget proposal became an organised Excel spreadsheet, loose notes became a structured bulleted document, and complex collaboration summaries condensed into a single-page PDF. It said the time saved by removing copy-paste cycles and manual formatting translated into increased productivity. For Google Workspace users, Gemini integrated within ...

Samsung One UI users accuse company of delaying bug fixes to future updates

-
Image
Samsung’s One UI platform is facing a wave of criticism that goes beyond the usual complaints accompanying a major software rollout. Across Samsung Community forums, users are increasingly questioning not just individual bugs, but the company’s broader approach to fixing them. A recurring claim dominates recent discussions: issues identified in one One UI version are not resolved within that release cycle, but instead pushed to the next numbered update. According to multiple forum threads, bugs found in One UI 7.0 were deferred to One UI 8.0, while problems now affecting One UI 8.5 are reportedly scheduled for fixes only in One UI 9.0. This perceived “next‑version delay” has become a focal point of user frustration. The concern is not that bugs exist — users accept that no major software is flawless — but that known issues appear to be systematically postponed rather than addressed through interim fixes. Examples frequently cited include persistent blur artifacts in the Gallery app, in...

Microsoft and OpenAI revise partnership for flexible cloud access and non exclusive licensing

-
Image
Microsoft and OpenAI announced an amended partnership agreement to provide long-term clarity and flexibility as both companies continued advancing artificial intelligence technology. The updated terms represented a significant restructuring of how the two organisations operated together while maintaining their core collaboration. Under the amended agreement, Microsoft remained OpenAI's primary cloud partner, with OpenAI products shipping first on Azure. However, a critical change allowed OpenAI to serve all its products to customers across any cloud provider. This shift represented a meaningful expansion of OpenAI's operational independence while preserving Microsoft's privileged position as the initial deployment partner, unless Microsoft could not or chose not to support necessary capabilities. The intellectual property framework was restructured to provide both companies with greater certainty. Microsoft continued holding a licence to OpenAI's intellectual property f...

Openai partners with aws to bring open weight models and codex to amazon bedrock

-
Image
OpenAI expanded its reach into Amazon’s cloud infrastructure through a partnership that integrated its latest models and coding capabilities into Amazon Bedrock, bringing together OpenAI’s artificial intelligence models with AWS’s enterprise-grade infrastructure to offer developers a unified platform for building generative AI applications. The integration centred on OpenAI’s open-weight models, specifically the gpt-oss-20b and gpt-oss-120b variants. The smaller model served use cases requiring lower latency and specialised applications, while the larger model targeted production environments and complex reasoning tasks. Both models featured a context window of 128,000 tokens, enabling developers to work with substantial amounts of information in a single interaction. The models supported text input and output modalities and could be invoked through multiple operations, including standard model invocation and batch inference capabilities. The Codex coding agent formed a key component o...

OpenAI reportedly working on smartphone built around AI agents

-
Image
OpenAI was reportedly developing a smartphone built around artificial intelligence agents, marking a significant shift in how the technology company viewed hardware’s role in advancing AI capabilities, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The proposed smartphone would replace conventional apps with AI agents capable of understanding user intent and executing tasks autonomously. Instead of navigating between multiple applications, users would interact with a unified AI system that comprehended context and completed actions in real time, including booking flights, compiling market data, managing communications, and handling other requests without requiring users to switch between different applications. OpenAI’s approach involved vertical integration, with the company controlling both the operating system and hardware architecture. This strategy mirrored Apple’s business model and would allow OpenAI’s AI systems deeper access to device-level features than currently possible through app-bas...

Samsung’s new wide foldable is getting the same camera upgrade as Galaxy Z Fold 8

-
Image
New Delhi: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide is rumoured to get the same smaller cover-screen selfie camera cutout as the standard Fold 8, shrinking from 3.7mm to just 2.5mm. That should make the outer display look cleaner and more immersive. Last week, it was reported that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is getting a smaller selfie camera hole. Well, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide could get the same upgrade, it would seem. This information comes from the same source that shared the Galaxy Z Fold 8 details, Ice Universe. He said, via Weibo, that the so-called Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide will join the Galaxy Z Fold 8 when it comes to shrinking its “front view camera”. As in the earlier report, this appears to refer to the camera hole on the cover display. It is not clear whether the same change will apply to the main display. The camera hole on the front is expected to shrink from 3.7mm to 2.5mm in diameter, a difference that should be easily noticeable. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a 3.7mm diameter camera cutout. The d...

Samsung shifted its focus to stable builds for One UI 8.5 over the past few days as the software appeared to enter the final phase for a stable rollout, with the Beta Program underway and the last update expected next week. Samsung opened the One UI 8.5 Beta Program for the Galaxy S25 series in December. The beta activity arrived in six countries, while users in other markets remained on One UI 8.0, based on the Android 16 operating system. Samsung rolled out nine beta updates to the Galaxy S25 series during the Beta Program. The last, 10th beta update could be pushed on April 20. The final rollout of the One UI 8.5 firmware was said to kickstart on April 30 in South Korea. This week, Samsung uploaded new stable builds to its server for Galaxy S series smartphones. The Galaxy S22 series had yet to grab any attention in terms of a major software update. The latest stable builds listed were: Galaxy S23 series – FZD7 Galaxy S24 series – DZD9 Galaxy S25 series – CZDB Galaxy S23 FE – GZD7 G...
