An Amazon event wouldn't be an Amazon event without the brand pushing its own devices. While Amazon tends to stick strictly to the end of any Prime event's end cutoff time, it doesn't shy away from putting Amazon devices on sale early. So naturally, several Echo deals, Fire Tablet deals, and Blink camera deals are already live the week before Prime Big Deal Days kicks off on Oct. 7. The best Prime Day Amazon device deals at a glance: BEST FIRE TABLET DEAL Amazon Fire HD 10 (64GB) $79.99 (save $100) Get Deal BEST FIRE TV DEAL Insignia 65-inch QF Series QLED 4K Fire TV $299.99 (save $200) Get Deal BEST ECHO DEAL Echo Buds with ANC $34.99 (save $85) Get Deal BEST KINDLE DEAL Kindle Scribe (16GB) $299.99 (save $100) Get Deal BEST BLINK DEAL Blink Video Doorbell $34.99 (save $35) Get Deal A few devices are even beating their Prime Day prices from July: Particularly of note are the Echo Show 8 dropping t...

SAVE $85 : As of Sept. 30, Amazon's Echo Buds with ANC are down to an all-time low price of $34.99. That's 71% off their list price of $119.99. Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Echo Buds with ANC $34.99 at Amazon $119.99 Save $85 Get Deal Earlier this month, we highlighted Amazon's excellent deal on the Echo Buds with ANC. Little did we know, that deal was about to get even better. As of Sept. 30, just a week before the Prime Big Deal Days event , the Amazon Echo Buds with ANC have dropped another $10 to just $34.99. That's a massive 71% or $85 off their list price of $119.99 and the lowest price on record . The buds have only reached this record-low once before on Black Friday 2024. Since they're quite a few years old, originally launching in 2021 , we probably wouldn't recommend the Echo Buds with ANC at full price. At less than $40, however, it's a whole different ball game. At that price, they're cheaper than any of ...

In a development that should surprise no one , OpenAI is preparing to release a standalone social app powered by its upcoming Sora 2 video model, Wired reports . The app reportedly "closely resembles" TikTok, with a vertical video feed and swipe-to-scroll navigation. The catch? It will only feature AI-generated content; there's apparently no option for the user to upload photos or videos from their phone's camera roll. Wired adds OpenAI will limit Sora 2 to generating clips that are 10 seconds long or shorter for use inside of the app. It's unclear what the model's limit will be outside of the app. TikTok, following an original limit of 15 seconds, allows people to upload clips that are up to 10 minutes long . The new app is also said to include an identity verification tool. Should a user take advantage of the feature, Sora 2 will be able to use their likeness in videos it generates. In turn, that means other people will be able to tag those users and use ...

Anthropic has formally announced Claude Sonnet 4.5, a new AI model specifically made for coding. Anthropic didn’t mince any words during its announcement, calling Claude Sonnet 4.5 the “best coding model in the world.” Starting today, it’ll be powering Claude Code, a popular choice for vibe coders and professionals alike.  The new model is a step up from the old models and seems to be able to do quite a lot. Per Anthropic co-founder and CEO Scott Wu, the new model features “the biggest jump we’ve seen since the release of Claude Sonnet 3.6” and can “run longer, handle harder tasks, and deliver production-ready code.” Anthropic shows this through a variety of charts demonstrating how effective the model can be. For example, Claude Sonnet 4.5 has a lower instance of misaligned behaviors than its direct competitors, including older models from Anthropic. Anthropic AI researcher David Hershey told TechCrunch that he’s seen the model code for 30 hours without interruption in early...
