Let's be real — making your screen recordings look slick and professional isn't always a walk in the park. Between software that's either too basic or overly complicated, it can feel like more trouble than it's worth.
Phia wants to change that. It's a browser-based screen recorder that enhances your videos with smooth mouse movements, intelligent zooms, motion blur, and customizable backgrounds—all without the need for complex software.
Created by Zaid, a designer and coder with a passion for animation and technology, Phia was born out of his frustrations with the limitations of existing tools. He wanted something that combined creative flexibility with ease of use without tying users to a specific platform. So, he built Phia to empower others to create remarkable content effortlessly.
Using Phia is straightforward. Install the Chrome extension, hit record, and let the tool handle the rest. It automatically adds polished effects like dynamic title animations and seamless transitions, giving your videos a professional touch without the steep learning curve.

OpenAI just unveiled o1, kicking off a new series of "reasoning" models designed to tackle complex questions faster than we can. They've also launched o1-mini, a smaller and more budget-friendly version. And yes, if you've been following AI buzz, this is the much-hyped Strawberry model everyone's been talking about.
This release is a big step toward OpenAI's goal of human-like artificial intelligence. Simply put, o1 outperforms previous models in writing code and solving tricky problems. But here's the catch: it's pricier and a bit slower than GPT-4o, so OpenAI is calling it a "preview" to highlight that it's still in the early days.
What's really interesting is how o1 was trained. Instead of just mimicking patterns from data, it uses reinforcement learning—learning through rewards and penalties—to figure things out on its own. It thinks in a "chain of thought," much like we do when solving problems step by step. OpenAI says it's more accurate and hallucinates less, though it's not perfect yet. This also makes for some great memes.
The standout feature? o1 tackles complex tasks like coding and math while explaining its reasoning. Ideally, this should make it more accurate. While I was playing around with the model this morning, I did notice a lot fewer hallucinations. It's a promising leap forward in AI, even if it's still ironing out some wrinkles and comes with a heftier price tag.
Earlier in the year, Apple lifted the lid on Apple Intelligence — the company’s heavily anticipated suite of AI features. In the original announcement, we got a taste of what was to come with things like generative emojis, Siri enhancements, and more.
Fast forward to today and Apple has revealed it’s newest range of iPhones and along with it some new features that will be powered by AI. Let’s dive in.
The new iPhones come with a new DSLR-style capture button for photos, videos, and settings adjustments. Stacked rear cameras support spatial video for Apple Vision Pro, and the A18 chip.
But the biggest update for the iPhone is arguably its integration with AI. With Apple Intelligence, you will be able to do things like detect real-world objects using the built-in camera, generate text based certain moods, and more easily filter through your photos by using the LLM technology.
If you saw a meme with this Black Mirror-ish Squid Game-y figure in your feed over the last week, you knew something was up.
The latest robot friend to grab the internet’s attention is the Neo Beta. It’s built by 1X Technologies, a company backed by Open AI and most recently raised a whopping $100 million in funding. It’s designed from the ground up as the company’s first foray into home robotics after a decade of building for factories.
Neo is designed for general purposes, such as tasks around the home like cleaning, moving furniture, carrying objects, and even pouring a beverage. All of these tasks are performed autonomously using a built-in AI system. Neo stands at about the height of an average human, can lift double its weight (66 pounds, by the way), and can run up to speeds of 7.5 miles per hour.
Understandably, one of the big questions about AI-powered humanoid robots is safety. The last thing humanity needs is a human-robot war akin to Terminator or, on a lesser scale, a robot giving you attitude. To this effect, the Neo bot has been specially designed to avoid posing a threat (that’s what they all say…). It’s considerably lighter and softer than other competitors. It’s clad in a jumpsuit-like material instead of metal or hard plastic and has cushions where human muscles would be.
