Tech in :60: Trends You Need Now

AI is no longer a backdrop; it is the main stage. TST Technology reports that OpenAI just launched GPT‑5 point 2, a model with faster responses, deeper long‑context reasoning, and fewer hallucinations, signaling a new ceiling for what everyday AI assistants can do. At the same time, Chinese startup DeepSeek has released its V3 point 2 models with GPT‑5‑level performance in open source, putting intense price and innovation pressure on U.S. giants, according to TST Technology and the Chosun Ilbo.

Big media and creative tools are racing to plug into this new AI layer. TST Technology notes that Disney has invested 1 billion dollars into OpenAI and licensed over 200 characters for the Sora video model, while Adobe is wiring Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat directly into ChatGPT so listeners can edit images, design graphics, and fix PDFs by simply describing what they want.

Hardware and networks are quickly reshaping around this wave. Ciena explains that AI traffic is forcing a reinvention of networks, with 1 point 6 terabit optical links and “neoscalers” building ultra‑dense data centers just to feed model training and inference. At the device level, the Chosun Ilbo highlights AI‑powered smart glasses from Meta and Alibaba that overlay messages, translation, and assistant responses onto your field of view, positioning wearables as serious contenders to the smartphone.

All of this power comes with risk. TST Technology reports Google’s December core search update and emergency Chrome patches fixing high‑severity wallet and credential flaws across billions of devices. Microsoft’s December Patch Tuesday closed 56 vulnerabilities, including a live zero‑day, reflecting how deeply AI features are now intertwined with core operating systems. At the same time, a McDonald’s AI‑generated holiday ad had to be pulled after backlash, a reminder that brand trust can evaporate when automation overshoots human taste.

Behind the scenes, researchers at Cornell are attacking AI’s energy problem with analog in‑memory computing, promising orders‑of‑magnitude efficiency gains that could keep this boom from colliding with power limits.

For listeners, the trends you need now are clear: AI is becoming the default interface, networks are being rebuilt to serve it, wearables are poised to replace screens, and security and ethics are racing to catch up.
