Alibaba launches RynnBrain, an open-source AI model for robotics

Alibaba has officially released its first AI model for robots. The new system, called RynnBrain , helps robots understand space, objects, and motion. In a video, the company showed a robot using the system to pick up fruit and place it in a basket. It is a simple action, but it reflects a larger ambition. Alibaba also launched an upgraded language model called Qwen3.7-Max. This model is built to power AI agents. The company claims it can run for 35 hours without losing performance, an important feature for long tasks. Alibaba describes its overall approach as an “AI factory.” It says it is the only company in China that operates across all levels of AI, from chips to cloud systems to applications. The idea is that controlling every layer gives it an edge over rivals. The industry is moving away from chatbots. Companies now see bigger opportunities in agents that can book flights, make purchases, or organise schedules on behalf of users. Robotics i...

Xreal Aura Smart Glasses powered by Android XR is now official

Xreal has introduced its new Aura Augmented Reality glasses, which run on Google’s Android XR system. The Xreal Aura smart glasses have see-through Sony displays with 1,920×1,200 pixel resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The view covers 70 degrees. You can see your surroundings clearly, and there is a dimming option to block out background light when needed. Users can open up to five app windows at the same time. The main processor, a Snapdragon Reality Elite chip, is kept in a separate “compute puck” along with a 4,455 mAh battery. This makes the glasses lighter on your head.

Grand Theft Auto VI official pre-order date and cover art revealed

Rockstar announced that Grand Theft Auto VI will be available for pre-order starting June 25 through the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and select physical retailers. The company also published the game’s final cover artwork for the first time. The roughly 30-second reveal video arranges protagonists Jason and Lucia across a pop-art collage alongside a lineup of additional characters yet to be detailed. A yellow sports car, a helicopter, alligators, and flamingos dot the image — subtle references to the Florida-inspired fictional state of Leonida where the game takes place. The two trailers that have landed so far, one in 2023 and another in 2025, have accumulated over 400 million views collectively. GTA 6 arrives on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, pushed back twice from a planned 2025 launch and again from a May 2026 schedule. No price has been set yet, but analyst firm Epyllion suggested in a 2025 report that the title could be the fir...

PAGASA launches PANaHON app for mobile weather alerts

If you want to know if it’s going to rain in the next hour or check the heat index in your area, the Philippine weather bureau now has a tool that fits right in your hand. PAGASA has officially released the PANaHON mobile app . The launch happened during Typhoon and Flood Awareness Week, a yearly campaign that runs from June 14 to 20. The app gives users access to near real-time weather data. It covers rainfall, temperature, and heat index readings. The name PANaHON stands for PAGASA National Hydro-Meteorological Observing Network. Before this app came out, the same system was already available as a website in 2025. It also appeared on the eGov mobile platform earlier. But PAGASA decided to build a standalone app because many people check the weather using their phones. The agency said that more than half of its website visitors browse on mobile devices. For the panahon.gov.ph site, the number goes up to nearly 70%. What can you do with the PANaHON app? First...

Anbernic launches its own parts store for DIY repairs

If you own an Anbernic gaming handheld and the joystick breaks or the screen cracks, you no longer need to throw the device away. The company has just launched a new online store where you can buy individual replacement parts for its devices. The Anbernic parts store covers a wide range of models, from the newer RG Rotate to older devices like the RG350P. Shoppers can find replacement shells, screens, conductive rubber pads, joysticks, batteries, motherboards, and buttons. When you place an order, you must specify the exact model and color of your handheld. Anbernic warns customers to get this information right because the company will not accept claims if you provide the wrong device details. The store is live now, but there is a catch. Anbernic does not currently offer any guides or step-by-step instructions for how to install these parts. If you have some basic do-it-yourself skills, however, the store gives you a way to extend the life of an affordable device. ...

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P: Dual Cameras, 2-inch touchscreen, 4K@60fps video

The beef between DJI and Insta360 heats up with the release of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P. Both Chinese companies are currently suing each other for allegedly infringing patents. Now, we’re curious to see if the new DJI Osmo Pocket 4P will be used in court. As you can see, the new Osmo Pocket 4P has dual cameras. It’s a first in the series and an obvious competition to the new Insta360 Luna Ultra . This compact gimbal camera boasts a 1-inch main sensor with LOFIC, f/2.0 aperture, and a fairly wide 20mm lens equivalent. That’s similar to the one found on the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 . In fact, almost the entire hardware is based on that camera. It still has a 2-inch rotating touchscreen that can reach 1000 nits, a big 1,545mAh battery with fast charging, and a built-in storage of 103GB with a slot for up to a 1TB microSD card. What’s new here is the secondary camera. It’s a telephoto lens with a 60mm equivalent, great for portraits or sh...
