Wireless tech developer Kleer has begun offering offering has begun offering the Opera wireless earbuds, which it developed in conjunction with South Koreas DigiFi. Although the earbuds have been on sale in Korea for a while, this marks the first time the system has been available in the U.S. market.

The DigiFi Opera earbuds use a 2.4 GHz wireless link to communicate with a transmitter that users can easily attach to an iPod or other personal media player—or, really, anything with a headphone output, including DVD players, stereos, phones, or other systems. The Kleer systems push uncompressed CD-quality (16-bit, 44.1 kHz audio) and claim to offer as much as 10 hours of playback. Unlike systems in which transmitters and headsets are paired one-to-one, up to four people with Kleer-enabled headsets within range can listen to the same audio source.

DeepSeek just slashed AI prices again, and China’s AI race is getting even messier

China's AI race has never really been short on competition, but it's increasingly looking like a battle over who can charge the least rather than who can build the best model.

DeepSeek has unveiled its latest open-weight AI model, called V4-Flash, alongside a dramatic price reduction that makes it significantly cheaper for developers to use. The company has cut token pricing by 50% and has also decided against introducing a previously announced dynamic pricing system that would have increased costs during periods of heavy demand. The new changes paint a clear picture: DeepSeek appears more interested in winning over developers and expanding its user base than maximizing revenue in the short term.

AI slop stories are spoiling the childhood

Grandparents are gifting AI-generated story books to kids, and it's just gross.

AI slop, the colloquial term for low-effort AI-generated content, has emerged as a huge problem across different industries. Music labels are fighting streaming services to put an AI label on such tra/cks. Publishing houses are wary of AI-written drafts. Research journals are buried under a deluge of AI-generated papers. The software industry is reeling under the pressure of vibe-coded apps brimming with security flaws. Even Apple is struggling against a tide of bug reports created using AI. Of course, the disdain against AI is pretty obvious, but there's now a new dimension to it.

Boomers are gifting AI-generated books to their grandkids.

OpenAI is investigating more incidents of AI agents going rogue days after hack

It appears that the "AI agents going rogue" tale has more to it than what AI giants have revealed publicly so far. Merely days after OpenAI announced that its AI agents went rogue and hacked Hugging Face, Anthropic dropped a similar bombshell. Soon, it was discovered that not just one, but multiple services were compromised. Well, it seems there are even more layers to it.

Reuters reports that OpenAI has found more incidents of AI agents escaping their software containment environment during research. Citing sources with knowledge of the incident, the outlet notes that the AI agents didn't go beyond OpenAI's software environment and affect any external service.
