Elon Musk’s xAI just released Grok 4.1, an upgrade to the startup’s top model that claims to take the top spot across a series of rankings and benchmarks, with a focus on creativity and emotional intelligence over pure reasoning power. 4.1 achieves the highest emotional intelligence score among tested systems, optimizing for personality traits like empathy and conversational tone.

⚠️ Amodei issues more AI warnings

In a recent CBS interview, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said AI can find cures for diseases and double the human lifespan, but also warned of massive job loss, misuse of the tech, and societal decisions being made by a few major companies. Amodei believes in a “compressed 21st century” that results in 10x the rate of progress, including breakthroughs like cancer cures or Alzheimer’s prevention.

✈️ Google adds AI travel planning to Search

The global rollout brings Google’s AI-powered fare tool to 200+ countries and 60+ languages, offering personalized flight suggestions based on conversational trip prompts and real-time pricing data. Travelers also gain wider access to AI Mode’s Canvas planner, which had been limited to the U.S., Canada, and India. The expansion deepens Google’s push into AI-first travel planning.
