Google Unveils Gemini 3 Flash AI Model, Rivals OpenAI GPT-5.2

Redazione RHC 18/12/2025

The battle for AI leadership is increasingly moving from the lab to mass production. The day after the release of OpenAI GPT Image 1.5, Google unveiled the Gemini 3 Flash model and began making it the default in its consumer apps, as well as in AI mode in search. This new model replaces the Gemini 2.5 Flash, released just six months earlier. Google says Gemini 3 Flash has significantly improved reasoning, multimodality , and efficiency , while maintaining low latency. In early tests, the model came close to Google and OpenAI’s “frontier” systems. For example, in the Humanity’s Last Exam benchmark, it

AI Smart Glasses for Police: Efficient Vehicle Checks in China

Redazione RHC 17/12/2025

The Changsha traffic police have begun using AI-powered smart glasses in their daily patrols. This was confirmed by the city’s Public Security Bureau , which has already distributed the new devices to officers on duty. The glasses allow you to obtain comprehensive information about a vehicle simply by looking at it: the entire process takes one to two seconds. The system integrates a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera coupled with an advanced image stabilization algorithm, designed to ensure sharp footage even when the operator is moving. From a technical standpoint, the operating battery lasts up to eight hours without recharging, effectively covering a full

The Future of Work: 4-Day Week with AI and Tech Advances

Redazione RHC 13/12/2025

The prospect of a four-day workweek, with a resulting three-day long weekend, may not be far off. This is according to Christopher A. Pissarides , a British-Cypriot economist and Nobel Prize winner, who in a recent interview explained how technological transformation is reshaping the timing and methods of work. Looking at two centuries of industrialization, he explained that the reduction of working hours is a historical constant: from the seven working days of the first industrial era, we have moved to the current five, and the next step – he says – is a four-day working week.

Managing AI Agents: Mitigating Security Risks in Autonomous Systems

Redazione RHC 03/12/2025

The widespread adoption of artificial intelligence in businesses is profoundly transforming operational processes and, at the same time, introducing new security vulnerabilities . Companies are using these systems to increase productivity and strengthen competitiveness, but their increasing autonomy requires a rethinking of control and governance rules. AI-powered assistants no longer perform just support tasks, such as composing emails or writing summaries. In many organizations , they are now able to initiate work orders, analyze technical logs, manage accounts, and automatically respond to anomalies. These functions, typical of the new generation of ” agentive ” agents, allow systems to take direct action in

Mistral AI Unveils Powerful Open Source Models for Advanced AI Applications

Redazione RHC 03/12/2025

French company Mistral AI has unveiled its Mistral 3 line of models, making them fully open source under the Apache 2.0 license . The series includes several compact and dense models with 3, 8, and 14 billion parameters , as well as the flagship Mistral Large 3 model. This is a ” Mixture-of-Experts ” model with 41 billion active parameters and 675 billion shared parameters , which the company calls its most powerful solution to date. Mistral Large 3 was trained from scratch on approximately 3,000 NVIDIA H200 GPUs. After further training, the model achieved the level of the best open-source training

ENISA takes on the role of Root in the European Cybersecurity Initiative (CVE).

Redazione RHC 27/11/2025

The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has taken on the role of Root within the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) programme, becoming the main point of reference for national authorities, EU CSIRTs and partners falling within its mandate. The new role expands on the Agency’s existing functions as Vulnerability Numbering Authority (CNA), which is responsible for assigning CVE identifiers and publishing the related records for reports managed by European CSIRTs, an operational role that has been active since January 2024. ENISA Executive Director Juhan Lepassaar highlighted how this change strengthens the Agency’s ability to support vulnerability management within the Union, contributing

Be careful when using SSDs! Without power, you risk data loss

Redazione RHC 27/11/2025

XDA Developers reminds us that using solid-state drives for long-term storage is risky. If SSDs are left without power for years, data can become corrupted or even disappear entirely. Unlike HDDs , which store data on magnetized platters, SSDs write information by changing the electrical charge in NAND flash cells . Flash memory is considered non-volatile: data is retained even after power is lost. However, the length of time an SSD can reliably store data without being connected to a power source is limited. According to Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) specifications, even inexpensive drives with QLC NAND can retain data

Quantum Computing vs. Artificial Intelligence: Which Will Really Change the Future?

Redazione RHC 27/11/2025

Quantum mechanics remains a complex and mysterious field, both difficult to explain and difficult to understand. This branch of physics studies the unusual behavior of tiny particles, phenomena that are opening up new scientific possibilities with potentially revolutionary applications. Despite the pronouncements and investments of tech giants like Microsoft and Google, quantum computing remains less visible compared to the growing focus on artificial intelligence (AI). Generally, while AI is predominantly software-oriented and relies on existing hardware, quantum technology requires specialized physical devices such as sensors and quantum computers, which are still bulky, expensive, and rare today. Brian Hopkins , vice president and

Satoshi Nakamoto’s Net Worth Drops 34% as Cryptocurrency Crash

Redazione RHC 24/11/2025

The net worth of Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious figure known as the founder of Bitcoin, has dropped 34% in the last month due to the recent virtual asset crash . Industry analysts say this isn’t simply a price correction, but rather a sign that the cryptocurrency market’s resilience is faltering due to structural factors such as the AI bubble controversy, uncertainty over the US Federal Reserve’s interest rates, and the risks of quantum computing. According to Benzinga, Nakamoto’s estimated wealth fell from its October peak of $137 billion to its current value of $90.7 billion on the 24th (local time). The overall
