Back in August, Googleβand Jimmy Fallonβput on a big show to reveal the Pixel 10 series. A feature called βMagic Cueβ was demoed during the event, and it seemed genuinely useful. Well, Iβve been using a Pixel 10 for three months, and Iβm still waiting to be amazed.
Googleβs Android 16 QPR2 update introduces AI-powered notifications, improved dark mode, scam detection, and new safety tools, making everyday phone use smoother, safer, and more intuitive.

As more AI (artificial intelligence) technologies emerge, competition among them will intensify, and rankings of the best to worst may shift. Currently, the most significant AI models are Google Gemini, Microsoft CoPilot, OpenAI ChatGPT, and Apple Intelligence.
Every year, Google releases a report highlighting the top trending searches, offering a snapshot of what captured our collective curiosity, spanning pop culture, entertainment, internet trends, and news events. Gemini wasnβt the only AI chatbot to make the list, as DeepSeek ranked seventh among the yearβs trending searches.
The shoe is most certainly on the other foot. On Monday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly declared a βcode redβ at the company to improve ChatGPT, delaying advertising plans and other products in the process, Β The Information reported based on a leaked internal memo. The move follows Googleβs release of its Gemini 3 model last month, which has outperformed ChatGPT on some industry benchmark tests and sparked high-profile praise on social media.
In the memo, Altman wrote, βWe are at a critical time for ChatGPT.β The company will push back work on advertising integration, AI agents for health and shopping, and a personal assistant feature called Pulse. Altman encouraged temporary team transfers and established daily calls for employees responsible for enhancing the chatbot.
The directive creates an odd symmetry with events from December 2022, when Google management declared its own βcode redβ internal emergency after ChatGPT launched and rapidly gained in popularity. At the time, Google CEO Sundar Pichai reassigned teams across the company to develop AI prototypes and products to compete with OpenAIβs chatbot. Now, three years later, the AI industry is in a very different place.
