Microsoft is combining its Copilot apps ahead of a ‘super app’

You soon won’t have to look at two Copilot apps in your Windows taskbar. | Image: Microsoft Microsoft is finally beginning to combine its consumer and commercial Copilot AI assistants into a single "super app" interface, starting with the Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot apps. Both personal and work accounts will be moved to the new unified app, which recycles the "Microsoft Copilot" name but features an updated app icon. The single app also means there won't be two annoying Copilot icons in the system tray or taskbar anymore. "Starting with a fresh look, the updated app combines the best of Copilot chat and image creation, with the power of Microsoft 365 for your work," Microsoft said in its update announcement. The updates are … Read the full story at The Verge.

How Baidu Unlimited-OCR Works: Solving Long-Document Transcription

About a month ago, Baidu (often called the “Google of China”) introduced Unlimited-OCR, an advancement over DeepSeek OCR. The model was designed to transcribe long, multi-page documents with high accuracy while delivering fast and stable inference. Unlike conventional vision-language OCR systems, Unlimited-OCR addresses a major bottleneck in long-document transcription: the rapidly growing Key-Value (KV) cache, […] The post How Baidu Unlimited-OCR Works: Solving Long-Document Transcription appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.

Mark Zuckerberg says the future of AI is for everyone. But who owns it?

It’s a nice sentiment, but all AI users should ask three questions about their preferred choice of AI platform On Monday, Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,500-word essay, The Future Is for Everyone. The essay came with something even rarer: a new Meta open-weight model. An open-weight AI model is the kind of AI with which you download the entire thing, and it works on your own computer (with or without the internet) and nobody can switch it off except for you. Almost every mainstream AI tool you use, whether it be Gemini, ChatGPT or Claude, is one you rent access to. Meta’s is one that you can download and actually own. I downloaded it before I finished the essay. So can you. This major move by the world’s largest tech heavyweight comes amid a summer heavy with AI news, full of nations at wa…

Lost jobs, inequality, rogue agents: why are we accepting oligarchs’ AI agenda? | Robert Reich

The dangers of AI become clearer every day. Why are we still acting as if we have no choice about our future? Rather than producing jobs, the US economy actually lost 23,000 jobs in July, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released on Friday. In addition, May and June’s job numbers were revised downward, showing a combined 103,000 fewer jobs than previously reported. As if this weren’t bad enough, wage growth has also slowed. Average hourly earnings rose by just 0.1% from June. Continue reading...
