Read full article about: WordPress tests AI tool Telex

WordPress showed off its experimental AI tool Telex at WordCamp US 2025 in Portland. Telex is designed to generate custom Gutenberg blocks for WordPress sites using simple text prompts. CEO Matt Mullenweg demonstrated how a user could create a basic marketing animation with just a few instructions. The tool is available at telex.automattic.ai and provides results as a .zip file for easy installation. Initial tests suggest Telex still has bugs to work out. Mullenweg described Telex as a prototype and part of WordPress's broader AI roadmap. He also introduced a lightweight browser assistant for answering WordPress questions, and referenced Perplexity's AI browser Comet, which could one day allow users to control WordPress directly.

Read full article about: Dolby Vision 2 bets on artificial intelligence

Dolby Vision 2 will use AI to fine-tune TV picture quality in real time, taking both the content and the viewing environment into account. 

The "Content Intelligence" system blends scene analysis, environmental sensing, and machine learning to adjust the image on the fly. Features like "Precision Black" enhance dark scenes, while "Light Sense" adapts the picture to the room's lighting.

Hisense will be the first to feature this AI-driven technology in its RGB Mini LED TVs. The MediaTek Pentonic 800 is the first processor with Dolby Vision 2 AI built in.

Read full article about: G42 looks beyond Nvidia as it explores AMD, Cerebras and Qualcomm for AI campus hardware

G42 is moving to lessen its dependence on Nvidia and is in talks with AMD, Cerebras Systems, and Qualcomm, according to a source familiar with the matter who spoke to Semafor. G42 also holds a stake in Cerebras Systems.

Of the five gigawatts planned for the UAE-US AI Campus, one gigawatt is already set aside for a Nvidia-powered Stargate data center. But these negotiations make it clear G42 doesn't want to rely solely on Nvidia. The company is aiming for a more diversified hardware base, partly in response to geopolitical tensions and concerns over supply chain dependencies.
