Nvidia is giving away 100 prizes to puzzle solvers, starting on July 21

Add as a preferred source on Google

Nvidia is launching another big #OrderOf10 contest. Though we don’t have much information on it, if it’s anything like the last one, it will mean answering puzzles and questions, with the chance to win a 1000 series GPU. Last time through, only a handful of people were lucky enough to win. This time around, Nvidia is claiming as many as 100 people will walk away with big prizes.

The first Nvidia OrderOf10 contest launched back in May, and had players going to specific locations in certain cities, looking for relevant symbols related to the challenge. It seems likely that this next contest will be much the same.

You do have a little time to prepare for the competition though. The OrderOf10 Origins contest will begin on July 21. It will run for four weeks, with four new challenges, we’re told, giving participants a total of 100 changes to win (thanks PCPer).

Chances are those prizes are GTX 1000 series graphics cards, but the first time around Nvidia held this sort of contest it also gave out tickets to Nvidia-sponsored events.

To be able to take part you will need to register, so head over to the official contest page and pop your details in if you plan to be ready to win yourself some gaming hardware. You’ll want to get your thinking cap ready, and maybe play a couple of puzzle games to get yourself in the solving mood.

Considering Google Maps was used last time – and you’re probably wandering about playing Pokémon Go anyway – it might not be a bad idea to brush up on your local area’s topography too.

Microsoft is adding a warning for users who start replying to an older email after a newer response has arrived in the same conversation. The alert is meant to stop people from replying without seeing the latest information in the thread.

Google just changed how it grades the AI models you use for Android coding
Android Bench has a new testing framework and eight new models, so the rankings you remember are now out of date.
Android Bench featured.

Google just changed how it measures which AI models are best at writing Android app code, and the update has shuffled the rankings developers use to pick their tools. The company's Android Bench leaderboard, which launched in March, now runs on a new testing system called Harbor. Google says this replaces the older, more generic testing tool it used before, and gives a better read on how models perform on real Android tasks, like updating old code to Jetpack Compose or handling wearable device networking.

New models shake up the top of the list

ChatGPT is coming for one of Google’s smartest Chrome features
OpenAI brings ChatGPT to Chrome to challenge Google's Gemini Side Panel
OpenAI

OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT beyond its website with the launch of a new Chrome extension that can understand the contents of the webpage you're viewing. The extension allows users to ask questions about a page, summarize articles, explain complex concepts, and even kick off longer AI-powered tasks without leaving their browser.

The move positions ChatGPT as a direct competitor to Google's Gemini in Chrome, which introduced similar context-aware browsing features earlier this year. While both tools aim to bring AI directly into web browsing, they take slightly different approaches to productivity and automation.
