Peter Steinberger, the developer behind the open-source project OpenClaw, is joining OpenAI. His focus will be on building the next generation of personal AI agents. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called Steinberger a ”genius with a lot of amazing ideas about the future of very smart agents interacting with each other to do very useful things for people.” Altman expects this work to quickly become a core part of OpenAI’s product lineup.
OpenClaw, Steinberger’s original hobby project, which blew up over the past few weeks, will ”live in a foundation as an open-source project” and will be supported by OpenAI, Altman says, calling the future ”extremely multi-agent.”
Ring’s AI-powered “Search Party” feature, which leverages the company’s network of cameras to find lost dogs, is now available to all Ring customers in the U.S. For the first time, the feature will be made available to those who don’t own a Ring camera, too.
When a neighbor reports a lost dog in the Ring app, nearby outdoor cameras use AI to scan for possible matches. If a match is found, that camera owner receives an alert and can optionally choose to share any related video clips with their neighbor who reported the pet missing. They’ll also have an option to call the owner or send them a message, without sharing their own phone number.
Robert Duvall, the steely-eyed actor whose performances in the first two Godfather films, Apocalypse Now, The Great Santini, Lonesome Dove and The Apostle made him one of the finest actors of any generation, has died. He was 95.

Vårens första stora tekniknyhet är här. Apple har skickat ut inbjudningar till pressen för ett evenemang kallat ”Apple Experience” som äger rum i New York den 4 mars. Det finns ännu inga uppgifter om en offentlig livestream, men liknande presentationer kommer att hållas samtidigt i både London och Shanghai.
Allt pekar på att fokus ligger på nya modeller av iPad och MacBook. Uppgifterna stämmer väl överens med tidigare rapporter om att Apple planerat flera hårdvarunyheter till början av mars.
Nya processorer och färgglada bärbara
Du kan förvänta dig en ny MacBook Air samt uppdaterade versioner av MacBook Pro i 14- och 16-tumsutförande. Här väntas de nya chippen M5 Pro och M5 Max göra sin debut. Den mest spännande nyheten för många är dock den ryktade instegsmodellen av MacBook, som sägs komma i lekfulla färger som ljusgult, ljusgrönt, blått och rosa.
Uppdateringar för iPad-familjen
Även iPad-serien står inför förändringar. En ny basmodell med A18-chip är på gång, vilket ger den stöd för Apple Intelligence. Samtidigt förväntas iPad Air få en prestandaskjuts med M4-chippet. Senare under året väntas även uppdateringar för Mac Studio, Studio Display och Mac mini, men fokus i mars ser ut att ligga på de bärbara enheterna.
Det finns inga uppgifter, ännu, om eventet kommer att direktsändas men det är mindre sannolikt då inbjudningarna bara har gått ut till mediarepresentanter.
ByteDance, the Chinese technology company behind TikTok, has said it will restrain its AI video-making tool, after threats of legal action from Disney and a backlash from other media businesses, according to reports.
The AI video generator Seedance 2.0, released last week, has spooked Hollywood as users create realistic clips of movie stars and superheroes with just a short text prompt.
Several big Hollywood studios have accused the tool of copyright infringement.
On Friday, Walt Disney reportedly sent a cease-and-desist letter to ByteDance which accused it of supplying Seedance with a “pirated library” of the studio’s characters, including those from Marvel and Star Wars, according to the US news outlet Axios.
