Tech and Policy: Foldables, AI Models, Pentagon Study, Measles Deaths

· 8 source(s)

Vivo's X Fold 6 launches globally with a dated design, Google releases Gemini 4 Argon, Paramount appoints a co-CEO, the Pentagon taps Musk and Luckey for a warfare study, and measles deaths rise as the CDC undercounts.

Vivo has launched its X Fold 6 globally, but The Verge reports that the foldable feels like a throwback due to its size and aspect ratio, which are similar to previous models and other foldables. The device originally launched in China in June and is now ready for international markets.

Google has released Gemini 4 Argon, which TechCrunch calls its most powerful model yet, marketed for coding and cybersecurity work. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's Grokipedia, an AI-powered competitor to Wikipedia, received a design update to v0.3, including a new logo and refreshed homepage and live edits page, according to The Verge. SpaceXAI head of design Benji Taylor described it as a "newly refreshed Grokipedia."

Paramount is appointing Ynon Kreiz, formerly Mattel's chairman and CEO, as co-CEO alongside David Ellison, ahead of the close of its $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. The Verge reports that Ellison will focus on long-term strategy and creative vision.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth launched a 120-day study on the future of warfare, led by Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich, TechCrunch reports. Critics note that Musk's and Luckey's companies already sell technology the study is likely to recommend.

Ars Technica reports that a fifth unvaccinated person has died of measles, while state health officials race to vaccinate residents, administering over 8,500 doses. The CDC is still not counting all deaths. Additionally, Ars Technica notes that the government can search phones without a warrant under the border exemption, and an immigration advocate is suing border agents for demanding his cell phone.
