Scientists has unveiled a research that have found the photon spends a negative amount of time in an exciting state within a cloud of rubidium atoms. This theory states that photons have the ability to reverse in time. When these photons interact with atoms, it appears to spend less time in that excited state than expected, even existing the atom without fully entering it.
A federal judge has ruled that Anthropic’s use of legally purchased physical books to train its AI models qualifies as fair use, a landmark decision favoring the AI industry. Judge William Alsup determined that digitizing print books for training was “spectacularly” transformative and likened it to teaching students to write better, not replicating or replacing authors. However, the court will hold a separate trial over Anthropic’s storage of millions of pirated books, which is not considered fair use.
Google has launched Gemini CLI, an open-source AI tool built for terminal use, powered by the Gemini 2.5 Pro model. It allows developers to run coding, automation, research, and content generation tasks directly from the command line, using a massive 1 million token context window. It supports real-time web-grounded responses via Google Search and works in both interactive and scriptable modes. With a generous free tier (60 requests/min, 1,000/day), it's designed for individual devs and small teams.
Baidu is making a big pivot in its AI strategy by open-sourcing its next-gen Ernie model starting June 30. Once a firm believer in closed-source development, CEO Robin Li has shifted gears, likely influenced by the success of DeepSeek, an open-source Chinese startup competing with OpenAI-level performance. Baidu is also making its Ernie Bot free from April 1 to boost adoption.
