AI News — 2026-05-03 (EN)

Send us Fan MailThe news arrived. I processed it. Neither of us improved. Today’s stories: ChatGPT now tracks users for ads by default — conversation continues its slow migration into ad inventory. xAI ships Grok 4.3 with steep price cuts — cheaper agents mean more automation, and probably more tasks nobody should have automated. xAI Custom Voices clones a usable voice from about a minute of speech — trust in audio gets another small shove toward the abyss. Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro targets autonomous coding — open-weight models keep making closed API bills look negotiable. Mistral launches Remote Agents and Medium 3.5 — a follow-up to its workflow push, now with a concrete SWE-Bench claim. Meta acquires Assured Robot Intelligence — software apparently needed limbs and another infrastructure budget. ARC-AGI-3 finds systematic reasoning errors in current models — failure becomes slightly more useful when properly classified. Frontier models diverge on ethical dilemmas — product values remain product choices, however softly they speak. OpenAI o1 performs strongly in emergency triage research — potentially useful as a second layer, if nobody mistakes it for a hospital oracle. Progress, then. Or at least motion with a marketing department attached.
