(Image credit: Shutterstock) OpenAI appears to be testing GPT-5 based on leaked files and internal biosecurity tools GPT-5 is rumored to unify memory, reasoning, vision, and task completion into one No specific release date has been announced, but it’s likely to roll out officially in the next few months Rumors that OpenAI is already testing GPT‑5 have started to spread thanks to leaks and hints appearing online. A particularly notable example was shared on X by engineer Tibor Blaho when he posted a partial screenshot of a config file hinting at “GPT‑5 Reasoning Alpha,” dated July 13, 2025. That same week, independent researchers discovered a mention of GPT-5 in OpenAI’s internal BioSec Benchmark repository, suggesting the model is already being trialed in sensitive domains like biosecurity. In case those indirect portents weren’t enough, OpenAI’s Xikun Zhang explicitly said that GPT-5 “is coming” during a discussion of the new ChatGPT Agent feature. The attention paid to GPT-5’s release date is not surprising as people have been asking OpenAI about it since the company released GPT-4 in 2023, and only accelerated when GPT-4.5 came out last year. The ChatGPT Agents arguably brought speculation to a fever pitch, since these digital assistants can go out and do things online for you like booking tickets and organizing calendars. Those are all things people have thought GPT-5 would bring to ChatGPT. gpt-5-reasoning-alpha-2025-07-13h/t @swishfever pic.twitter.com/Hq5csd0iC6July 19, 2025 GPT-5 Future The feedback from people using ChatGPT Agents may actually be used to complete the training for GPT-5. And it will need plenty of training if the rumors about the million-token context window are true. The same goes for the supposedly unified nature of GPT-5. That would mean GPT-5 won’t just include switch between features like visual analysis, code interpretation, and the same abilities as ChatGPT Agent; it will operate as a singular system. You could ask it to interpret an image, send an email, schedule a meeting, and compose and perform a vocal summary from a single prompt. For instance, a parent could coordinate school schedules, meal plans, and last-minute birthday party logistics all at once, or you could plan a trip, book hotels, put it into your calendar, and email your family the details from a single request. GPT-5 is supposedly designed to address the issues of hallucination and nuanced misunderstanding, allowing people to trust it more than GPT-4 or GPT-4.5. Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more. There’s also the question of memory. OpenAI has been quietly rolling out long-term memory in ChatGPT, which means the model remembers things about you, but GPT-5 might make it even more powerful. Of course, the safety questions are already bubbling up. The mention of GPT-5 being tested in biosecurity contexts has people spooked. If it can reason about biology well enough to help with complex research, could it also spit out dangerous information if prompted the wrong way? OpenAI has promised to build in safeguards, but history tells us that people are very good at finding clever ways around digital fences. Regardless, we will all find out soon enough, though based on previous launches, it’s likely to be limited to subscribers of the higher tiers of ChatGPT at first. But you can bet OpenAI won’t release GPT-5 until they’re sure it won’t embarrass them on day one.

(Image credit: Alamy) I’ve spent the last few weeks with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, and I’m more convinced than ever: flip phones are better smartphones. So why is Apple, the company that once redefined smartphones, sitting on the sidelines? I have some theories, and I think an Apple iPhone Flip would be fantastic, if Apple can bring anything new to flip phones. Flip phones are the best phone design, and I won’t be taking questions (Image credit: Philip Berne / Future) Before we debate Apple’s motives, let’s agree on a simple fact – smart flip phones are superior to flat phones. The reason is simple: two screens. The cover display on today’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 or Moto Razr Ultra offers a new philosophy of use. It’s a palm-sized communicator, ready for navigating, messaging, or taking selfies without ever opening the phone. It’s a way to control my smart home without falling into the black hole of my main screen’s distractions. These displays are so large and capable, they offer more screen real estate than the entire original iPhone. The price excuse is also dead. Flips used to carry a heavy premium, but today’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 costs the same as the flat Galaxy S25 Edge. I’d take the Flip over that flat Galaxy any day of the week. So, What’s Apple’s Excuse? (Image credit: Philip Berne / Future) If flip phones are so great, where is the iPhone Flip? Apple isn’t afraid of new categories – it sells watches, goggles, set-top boxes, smart home speakers, in addition to phones and tablets. The hold-up seems to be about perfectionism. Here are the rumored excuses, and why they don’t hold water. Rumors claim Apple isn’t satisfied with the state of bending glass. You can still see and feel a faint crease. My take: the crease is a ghost story. After seven generations of these devices, the crease is nearly invisible during use. I promise you, it will never bother you. (Image credit: Future) Apple might not want a phone that isn’t durable. This is a fair point. Flagship smartphones are rated IP68, keeping out the finest dust and surviving a long dip underwater. Flip phones are only rated IP48 – they can survive a dunk in water, but dust in the hinge is a real risk. It’s characteristic of Apple to wait for a perfect seal, but they may be waiting too long. Flip phones make compromises. The cameras are smaller, with no room for big telephoto lenses. The batteries are often smaller, too. However, computational AI helps the cameras immensely, and great software can deliver astonishing battery life. For instance, the Moto Razr Ultra 2025 outlasts most flat phones thanks to its efficient Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Here’s the Real Reason There’s No iPhone Flip (Image credit: Future / Philip Berne) The truth is, I don’t think Apple is staying away because the tech isn’t ready. I think it’s because Apple doesn’t have anything new to add. What premium feature would an iPhone Flip offer that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 or Moto Razr Ultra doesn’t already have? If Apple can’t answer that question, it can’t justify the astronomical price it would inevitably charge. Without a truly premium reason to buy its flip over Samsung’s or Motorola’s, why bother? I’ve heard more credible rumors about an iPhone Fold that opens into a tablet. That seems more likely, as it would combine the familiar aesthetics of an iPhone and an iPad. It feels safe – an evolution of what already exists. An iPhone Flip, however, would require something truly new. And if I’m being honest, I haven’t seen that kind of newness from Cupertino in a long time. Software is the final sticking point Apple needs something as magical as AirDrop for its foldable phones (Image credit: Future / Philip Berne) The biggest hurdle might be something else entirely: what would an iPhone Flip do? Apple’s greatest strength isn’t just a single device; it’s the seamless software ecosystem that binds them together. A flip phone with two distinct screens presents a new software challenge for Apple, and new challenges always come with hiccups. How might core Apple apps use the second screen to offer an experience greater than the parts? I don’t just want to talk to Siri, I want to mix with GarageBand or doodle in my Journal. There needs to be deeply integrated, magical software innovations for an iPhone Flip to justify its existence. Without a software experience that feels revolutionary, not just reactive, the device would fail Apple’s own standard. Perhaps the biggest risk for Apple isn’t a faulty hinge; it’s a failure of imagination.

(Image credit: Future) Vacuum cleaners aren’t just for carpet – a good vacuum cleaner is very useful for keeping hard floors dust- and hair-free. If your home has lots of hard floors, the good news is that you don’t need a particularly powerful model to achieve a thorough clean. Or, as Kiril Natov, a carpet and upholstery cleaning technician with 18 years of experience in the industry, told me: “Any vacuum can suck dust, hair, and crumbs off your hardwood, tile, or vinyl floors, but some models do it better than others.” Read on for more tips from Kiril, alongside experts from some of the biggest vacuum cleaner brands, on choosing the perfect vacuum for hard floors. Once you’re finished, head to our guide to the best vacuums for hardwood floors for TechRadar’s top recommendations. 1. A dedicated soft floorhead The advice from almost all the experts I asked was to look for a vacuum that has a soft floorhead designed for this purpose. “For hardwood floors that are prone to scratching, a soft or natural bristle floorhead is a great option to ensure optimal protection,” suggests Tom Akers, from Miele GB. Teya Field, from Henry, echoes his sentiments: “For hard floors like laminate, tile and wood, vacuums that come with a specialist hard floor tool work best to ensure gentle but effective pick up without scratching delicate surfaces.” Vacuums like the Dreame R20 come with a dedicated hard floor cleaner head that’s soft all over (Image credit: Future) If you have delicate hardwood floors, it’s worth seeking out a vacuum that has an entirely fluffy floorhead. Many of today’s best Dyson vacuums come with a fluffy floorhead designed specifically for hard floors, alongside a multipurpose one for any floor type. Dreame’s Mark Salmon flags that Dreame’s cordless stick vacuums (including the R20 that sits at the top of TechRadar’s best cordless vacuum guide) also come with a soft floorhead for the same purpose. Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more. The soft fibers get right up close to the surface of the floor and agitate and clear the dirt there, all while gently buffing up the surface. The Dyson version has further special features: “Dyson’s Fluffy Optic cleaner head features anti-static nylon bristles to remove electrostatic attractions between fine dust and hard floors for effective pick-up,” says Dyson Engineer Amy Wright. 2. … or one that’s gentle on the floor If you have a mixture of hard floor and carpet in your house, and can’t be bothered to swap over cleaner heads, then fear not – a number of big vacuum cleaner brands have floorheads that are designed to be suitable for any type of floor. Typically, these have a mixture of soft bristles for getting right up close to hard floor, and firmer bristles for agitating carpet fibers. Ideally, the latter are cut slightly shorter, so they don’t quite reach the hard floor when the cleaner head is on the ground, and therefore won’t scratch it up. Other vacuum brands have alternative solutions. For example, on certain Miele vacuums – including the Miele Blizzard CX1 pictured below – you can adjust the height of the brushroll depending on whether you’re cleaning hard floor or carpet. On some Miele vacuums, you can adjust the height of the roller depending on the type of floor you’re cleaning (Image credit: Future) 3. Rubber wheels If your floors are delicate, also think about the vacuum’s wheels, suggests Tom. “For the vacuum itself, one with rubber wheels will also prevent scratching as it is pulled along the floor.” 4. The ability to turn off the brushroll Aside from scratches, another issue is scattered debris. Because all the dust just sits on top of the floor surface, going over it with a vacuum cleaner can simply kick it all over the place, out of the way of the suction inlet. “To avoid scattering debris or possibly damaging delicate flooring, look for a vacuum that either lets you switch off the spinning brushroll or has a special cleaner head with soft bristles,” suggests Kiril, from Premium Clean. 5. Lights on the floorhead To help illuminate dust and dirt that otherwise might get missed, look for a floorhead with headlamps. Dyson’s bright green laser lights are especially effective on the front, casting big shadows on even the tiniest specks of dust and hair. They appear on the newest models, including the Gen5detect and V15 Detect. Some of Dyson’s floorheads come equipped with laser lights to highlight dirt that might get missed (Image credit: Future) 6. A wet-and-dry vacuum For a more thorough clean on tiles or lino, Tom suggests opting for a wet-dry vacuum instead of a traditional vac. Today’s best wet and dry vacuum cleaners will take care of vacuuming and mopping in one go, and some come with disinfecting and/or self-cleaning functions to help lower the amount of maintenance required from you, too. Avoid these if you have hardwood floors that are sensitive to water, though (here’s more on how to clean hardwood floors.) 7. … or a hybrid robovac Another great option for hard floors is to outsource the cleaning and opt for one of the best robot vacuums. These tend to be less powerful than manual vacs, but that’s not a problem with hard floors, where all the dust just sits on the surface. Go for a hybrid model, and it’ll also take care of mopping for you, as required. If you’re dealing with lots of lino or flat tiles, you might want a bot with a base station that can refill the onboard water tanks and/or clean the mop pads.

So, you’re thinking of buying a smart ring. Well, some good news. Picking the best of the lot is incredibly easy right now. The “bad” news is that, as far as trustworthiness and reliability, your choices are somewhat limited, as this is still a niche and emerging gadget category. Smart rings are in the middle of a resurgence. That means a lot of experimental ideas and newcomer tech brands you’ve probably never heard of. Enough competitors have cropped up that I spent the better part of last summer rocking six rings like a high-tech mafia don. While these aren’t necessarily bad products (some are pretty good), many aren’t as polished as what you’d see in more mature categories like smartwatches, headphones, and smartphones. Speaking of which, there are a few things to know about the category. Currently, these devices are primarily health trackers. Their benefit is that they’re more discreet and better suited to sleep tracking than a smartwatch. However, the vast majority don’t include smart alarms or push notifications. This makes them best suited for casual athletes or more wellness-minded people. In most cases, hardcore athletes would be better served by a smartwatch or fitness tracker, with a smart ring serving as a supplementary source of data. (But that’s quite an expensive endeavor.) Smart rings are also ill-suited for weightlifters, as they can easily scratch against equipment. With that in mind, here’s the best smart ring for most people in 2025 — and a handful of runners-up worth highlighting for the more tech-adventurous. What I’m looking for Smart rings are meant to be a stylish and discreet alternative to traditional fitness trackers. That requires a combination of experiential testing and benchmarks. We wear them daily for weeks to see how well they accommodate bloated fingers and temperature changes. We don’t take them off in the shower or to wash dishes to test waterproofing. And we compare them to a smartwatch, the Oura Ring, and a smart bed to gauge sleep and health tracking accuracy. Other factors we consider are size ranges, sizing kits, app design, syncing times, and, of course, battery life. Your fingers will bloat. How accommodating is the design? What’s the size range offered? (Some of us have tiny fingers!) How easy is it to return? Many people want a smart ring to double as a piece of jewelry. Is it comfortable to wear 24 / 7? Is the design versatile for all sorts of events? Will you get compliments for wearing it? Does the finish scuff? Will you see visible scratches if you wear other rings alongside it? Rings are easy to lose. Does it have a charging case or does it use a charging dock that a cat can easily knock off your nightstand? Sleep tracking is one of the most popular use cases for a smart ring, and for that you need good battery life. How much do you get on a single charge? Many smart ring companies are newcomers. The hardware can be nice, but it means nothing if the app is a nightmare. How easy is the ring to update and sync? Does it sync with larger platforms like Apple Health or Google Health Connect? Best smart ring for most people $342 The Good More sizes Slimmer design Expanded auto workout detection Redesigned app Better battery life The Bad Subscription required to get all features I still wish this had a charging case Surprising no one, it’s the Oura Ring 4. I can already hear some of you shouting, “But what about the subscription!” And I agree. Even Oura’s relatively affordable $5.99 monthly fee can feel more like $100 when you consider the sheer number of apps, gadgets, and services asking for a chunk of your monthly paycheck. However, Oura is still the best in terms of hardware, size range, features offered, app, dedication to research, and experience in the field. Many of the smart rings available today follow the example Oura set this past decade. The upgrades from the Oura Ring Gen 3 to the Oura Ring 4 were mostly software-based, with minor hardware refinements. You can read more in my review, but the gist is a more accurate heart rate and blood oxygen algorithm, improved automatic activity detection, and an expanded range that spans size 4 to 15. The app has been redesigned to be less cluttered, and in the last few months, Oura added AI-powered meal logging and glucose tracking, the latter of which requires Oura users to purchase a Dexcom Stelo CGM ($99). It also recently launched an AI chatbot. (Of the AI chatbots in health trackers I’ve tested, this one is among the more polished implementations — though it often feels like Captain Obvious-level insights.) I’ve been long-term testing three iterations of the Oura Ring since 2018. Accuracy, design, and comfort have improved with each generation. The company continues to frequently and clearly communicate research and scientific developments. Third-party retail options have expanded, and I’ve seen investment pour into Oura. In an emerging category, these things matter. A lot. While I believe some of Oura’s newer competitors do some things better or have more creative ideas, Oura is the one I continually recommend for its combination of reliability, accuracy, and experience. Honorable mentions If subscriptions are an absolute dealbreaker, you’ll find zero protest here. In that case, here are the best alternatives to the Oura Ring. $286 The Good Excellent hardware Long battery life Slim, lightweight design No subscription The Bad Android only Better if used with Samsung products Accuracy is a mixed bag The $400 Samsung Galaxy Ring nails the hardware. Its charging case is more elegant than the Oura Ring’s, and I prefer the slightly concave design for comfort. It also has the second widest size range. If you’re already all-in on a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 or Ultra, you get the added benefit of extended battery life. If you have the latest Galaxy Z Flip 6 or Z Fold 6, Samsung also has

Mayor Eric Adams announced over the weekend that New York City will send users real-time public safety alerts based on their specific location through the crime-tracking app Citizen. The city also announced that public safety agencies, like the New York City Police Department, Fire Department, and Emergency Management, will have access to a portal to review footage shared by users on Citizen. Citizen’s verified partner program for cities like New York is tied to a partnership with Axon’s (formerly known as Taser) Fusus platform, the “real-time crime center” it acquired last year. Axon announced a partnership with Ring in April that allows law enforcement to request access to video footage from owners’ security cameras in a certain area during a certain time. At the same time, it also announced an integration with Citizen to support sending alerts and pulling in public videos from Citizen’s users. According to Citizen, users who don’t want their videos shared directly can opt out in the app’s settings, but all videos posted are still “viewable and downloadable by the public.” Adams said the new NYC Public Safety account on Citizen will send notifications about public safety, weather emergencies, and major incidents based on a user’s neighborhood, ZIP code, or borough. Citizen lets users report potential safety incidents, share videos, and broadcast live footage from within its app. It also says it can send alerts to nearby mobile devices “within seconds” of a 911 call or a user report, and also offers a premium safety line. Citizen already allows law enforcement to obtain information from its app as long as they have a warrant, but it also offers the ability for police to get data “without delay” in case of emergencies. It originally launched under the name “Vigilante” in 2016, but the app was booted from the App Store for promoting vigilantism, TechCrunch reported at the time. The app later relaunched as Citizen and has faced heavy criticism in the years since, with some arguing it fuels fear in communities. In 2021, Citizen CEO Andrew Frame came under fire for encouraging users to hunt down the wrong person suspected of starting a California wildfire. Read More

Jay Peters is a news editor covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. Tesla’s long-in-the-works 1950s-inspired diner and drive-in Supercharger station in Los Angeles is expected to officially open today – and the company may build more of them down the line. The Tesla Diner lets people grab comfort food like burgers and fries (served in boxes shaped like Cybertrucks) and milkshakes while charging their vehicles. The Diner has giant screens so people can watch things like movie clips while charging their cars, though watching from the screens in your Tesla is apparently an option, too. One of Tesla’s Optimus robots was even spotted serving popcorn at a recent soft launch event. Basically, it feels like one giant ad for everything Tesla, and this could be just the first of many. If the diner “turns out well,” Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the company will establish more of them in major cities and “at Supercharger sites on long distance routes.” The company’s brand has taken a huge hit as of late due to Musk’s now-deteriorating relationship with President Trump and cratering sales. Musk first announced his intention to build “an old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant at one of the new Tesla Supercharger locations in LA” all the way back in January 2018, and Tesla filed a permit for it soon after. Progress slowed considerably since then, and although Musk promised in 2023 that the diner would be open “later this year,” the restaurant’s chef wasn’t revealed until earlier this year. Read More

The Casio G-Shock GD-010GB-1A9JF (pictured) has a tinted gold LCD and polished bezel ring. (Image source: G-Central) Casio is reportedly launching a new GD-010 series G-Shock in black and gold, with a large tinted LCD, 10-year battery, and metallic gold ring. It is scheduled for an August 2025 launch in Japan, priced at ¥15,950 (~$107.4). Black and gold has long been a G-Shock signature – from early 1980s releases to limited-edition drops in recent years. Now, that same classic contrast is reportedly returning with the new Casio GD-010GB-1A9, a fresh addition to the large-format GD-010 lineup. As evident by a new report from G-Central, the upcoming GD-010GB-1A9 has a tinted gold LCD and polished bezel ring, which in essence is the same crowd-pleasing color scheme that’s been used since the 1980s. With the GD-010GB-1A9, Casio appears to be modernizing that same design using the relatively affordable GD-010 platform. This is a series that stands out because of its oversized case, reverse LCD variants, and a front-positioned illumination button. Unlike some other models in this series, the GD-010GB-1A9 utilizes a positive LCD with high-contrast digits, which makes outdoor readability far easier. From the image, the model features a prominent metallic gold bezel ring and gold G-Shock branding at the top. Its face displays day, date, and time in a spacious format, along with labels for alarm, mute, and signal indicators. As expected, the case structure and button layout mirrors past GD-010 models. It also sports the signature “10 year battery” text near the bottom. The source further reports that the GD-010GB-1A9JF is scheduled to launch in Japan in August 2025 with a listed price of ¥15,950 (~$107.4). At present, there’s no confirmation of a global release. In the meantime, you can check out the Casio G-Shock GD-010-1A1 – now $86 on Amazon.
