When asked by a reporter at Camp David about negotiations with Iran, Trump said the US would be “hitting them very hard”.

“We just want to win,” he said. “We’re doing very well, trying to be nice, as nice as you can be in a situation like that, but, you know, they’re being decimated. They have no Navy. They have no air force, they have no anti-aircraft. They don’t have any capability. They have some, but very little.”

Legal challenge to King’s College London research study claimed it could harm participants but was rejected

A clinical trial of drugs that can delay puberty can go ahead after a high court judge threw out a legal challenge on Friday.

Campaigners had launched the attempt to halt the planned research into puberty blockers, to be run by researchers at King’s College London (KCL), on the grounds that they believed it could harm the children taking part.

Labour MPs fear No 10 team lack up-to-date energy insight and don’t fully recognise voters’ climate concerns

Andy Burnham was told he could face the first revolt of his premiership as Labour MPs and climate experts condemned his apparent support for renewed drilling for oil and gas.

As the UK suffers through drought, fires and heatwaves, the prime minister gave the strongest indication yet on Friday he was minded to allow new drilling. His comments came just hours before the UN secretary-general warned “every new fossil fuel project” made heatwaves more dangerous.

António Guterres says strengthening El Niño will help push the world’s climate crisis into ‘uncharted territory’

India’s monsoon is in danger and hotter, drier conditions are forecast across much of the world as a stronger El Niño weather system is taking hold, weather experts have warned.

SAN FRANCISCO (ANP/AFP) - ChatGPT-moederbedrijf OpenAI heeft wereldwijd meer dan 1 miljard actieve gebruikers. Dat heeft het Amerikaanse techbedrijf vrijdag naar buiten gebracht. Het cijfer omvat niet alleen de gebruikers van de populaire chatbot ChatGPT zelf, maar ook AI-programmeerhulp Codex en ChatGPT Work, een platform waarmee gebruikers toegang hebben tot andere externe toepassingen.

De mijlpaal volgt nog geen vier jaar na de lancering van ChatGPT. OpenAI werd opgericht in 2015, maar kwam pas in november 2022 met zijn eerste consumentenproduct. In zo'n korte tijd groeien naar zoveel gebruikers is een hele prestatie. Facebook deed er eerder zes jaar over om 1 miljard gebruikers te bereiken.

OpenAI meldde ook dat al ruim 2 miljoen bedrijven in de wereld gebruikmaken van zijn tools. Het zakelijke klantenbestand, dat hogere marges oplevert, werd eind vorig jaar prioriteit voor het bedrijf. Sindsdien heeft OpenAI een deel van de achterstand ingelopen op zijn voornaamste rivaal Anthropic, die zich specifiek op deze doelgroep richt.
