Microsoft Unveils Mu OnDevice AI Model for RealTime Windows 11 Settings Control

Microsoft has unveiled Mu, a small, ondevice AI model that powers Windows 11 Settings AI agents. Mu, which was created for Copilot+ PCs, runs entirely on the Neural Processing Unit NPU, allowing for natural language commands such as "turn on night mode" to be executed at rates of more than 100 tokens per second. Mu is a lowlatency, realtime model with 330 million parameters that is derived from the Phi family of models. It was trained on 3.6 million samples with methods like synthetic labelling and LoRA finetuning. It functions similarly to the Phi3.5mini despite being a tenth of the size, which makes it perfect for controlling device settings without internet connectivity. Microsofts drive for effective, local AI throughout its hardware ecosystem is reflected in Mu. Read More..

McLaren Health Care Breach Exposes Data of 743,000 Patients in Ransomware Attack

Between July and August 2024, McLaren Health Care and the Karmanos Cancer Institute were the targets of a ransomware attack that compromised 743,131 p

Between July and August 2024, McLaren Health Care and the Karmanos Cancer Institute were the targets of a ransomware attack that compromised 743,131 patients data. Hackers gained access to private data, such as drivers license information, medical records, Social Security numbers, and health insurance information. Although the breach was found on August 5, 2024, a thorough forensic investigation wasnt completed until May 2025, and the public was notified in June. Because McLarens IT systems were unavailable throughout the event, employees had to manually handle appointments and medication. McLaren is providing impacted clients with a complimentary 12month credit monitoring service, which is associated with the INC ransomware group. After a ransomware incident in 2023, this is McLarens second significant compromise. Read More..

Meta Rolls Out Passkey Login for Facebook Users on iOS and Android

Facebook users on iOS and Android may now log in with passkeys, which replace conventional passwords with biometric verification such as a device PIN,

Facebook users on iOS and Android may now log in with passkeys, which replace conventional passwords with biometric verification such as a device PIN, fingerprint, or facial ID. Passkeys, which were created in collaboration with the FIDO Alliance, are protected against credential theft and phishing because they are locally stored on the users device. Passkeys can be configured by users through Facebooks Accounts Centre settings or while logging in. Meta intends to expand the usage of the same passkey to encrypted message backups and Meta Pay, and it will soon be compatible with Messenger. Importantly, Meta maintains privacy by not storing or accessing biometric data. Facebook has joined other internet behemoths in implementing passkeys for quicker and safer logins. Read More..

On October 1, 2025, TMobile, using SpaceXs Starlink, will introduce its satellitebased data service. By providing coverage to more than 500,000 square miles in the United States where regular towers cannot reach, the service, which is a component of its TSatellite network, seeks to eradicate mobile dead zones. First introduced in July with support for SMS and MMS, the October rollout will allow for appbased data experiences, such as those offered by Google, Apple, AccuWeather, and WhatsApp. Since the test started in late 2024, over 1.8 million users—many of whom are from AT&T and Verizon—have signed up. The service will be offered to others for $10 per month or as part of TMobiles "Experience Beyond" plan. Read More..

Goldman Sachs Launches Firmwide AI Assistant to Boost Productivity

Goldman Sachs has reached a significant milestone in its technology strategy with the official rollout of its GS AI Assistant throughout the company.

Goldman Sachs has reached a significant milestone in its technology strategy with the official rollout of its GS AI Assistant throughout the company. Ten thousand people have previously piloted the generative AI tool, which will now help employees with activities like data analysis, content creation, and summarising difficult papers. Within Goldmans safe compliance framework2, the assistant, which took a year to develop, interfaces with big language models like GPT and Gemini2. Banks like Citi, Morgan Stanley, and Bank of America are all using AI to optimise operations, so its part of a larger Wall Street trend. Goldman stresses that the technology is designed to increase productivity rather than replace jobs, although industry experts point out that it might result in fewer hirings for routine positions.

Elon Musk Plans to Retrain Grok AI With “Corrected” Human Knowledge Base

Elon Musk wants to remove what he refers to as ideological prejudice and false information from existing AI models, so he intends to retrain his AI ch

Elon Musk wants to remove what he refers to as ideological prejudice and false information from existing AI models, so he intends to retrain his AI chatbot Grok using what he calls a “cleaner, corrected” version of human knowledge. The next Grok 3.5 or maybe Grok 4 will have sophisticated reasoning and make an effort to update the global knowledge base by filling in the blanks and fixing mistakes. Musk has asked users to provide "divisive facts"—statements that are factually accurate but politically incorrect—for the training data. Musk is attempting to portray Grok as a more objective and unrestricted substitute for popular AI systems such as ChatGPT. Read More..
