Harvey Weinstein is considering pleading guilty to a third-degree rape charge to avoid facing trial for a third time, the former Hollywood mogul’s lawyer told a judge in a downtown Manhattan courtroom Thursday.The charge is related to an allegation made by Jessica Mann, a former aspiring actress, that Weinstein raped her at a New York hotel in March 2013. Weinstein has vehemently denied that claim and all allegations of nonconsensual sex.But amid defense lawyer Arthur Aidala’s talk of a possible plea deal, Weinstein continued to insist he was not a criminal. “I know I was unfaithful and acted wrongly, but I never assaulted anyone,” Weinstein told Judge Curtis Farber.Weinstein was found guilty of third-degree rape of Mann in early 2020, but that conviction was overturned in 2024 by a New York state appeals court. He was tried again last year, but the jury failed to reach a verdict on the charge related to Mann.The same jury found Weinstein guilty of first-degree criminal sexual act based on an allegation made by Miriam Haley, a former “Project Runway” production assistant who claims he forcibly performed oral sex on her in 2006.Crime and CourtsApr 20, 2025Meet the forensic psychologist set to testify at both Weinstein and Combs trialsCrime and CourtsJun 12, 2025Judge declares mistrial on remaining Harvey Weinstein rape countCrime and CourtsApr 15, 2025Actor who played NYC prosecutor among prospective jurors excused from Weinstein retrialThe jury acquitted Weinstein on a second count of first-degree criminal sexual act stemming from a similar allegation brought by Kaja Sokola, a Polish former runway model.Weinstein appeared somber in court Thursday as Farber rejected his motion to dismiss his conviction related to Haley’s allegation. The former film titan’s attorneys had argued that the jury at his retrial was beset by infighting, bullying and other improper behavior.The former producer told the court he was disappointed in Farber’s decision to hold off on an open hearing to look into his team’s allegations of juror misconduct.“The weight of justice grows heavier after 19 months at Rikers,” Weinstein told the judge, referring to the New York prison island where he is incarcerated. “It is soul-crushing. It is a death sentence. My mental state is collapsing and the isolation is unbearable.”In response, Farber told Weinstein he believed the second trial was fair — and whatever happened in the jury room was part of the normal course of deliberations.Nicole Blumberg, one of the prosecutors, asked Farber to sentence Weinstein on the Haley conviction, saying in part: “Mimi Haley deserves closure and not have to keep her life on hold while a retrial occurs.”Farber essentially rebuffed that request, saying he planned to wait until after the Mann charges are adjudicated. He tentatively scheduled a third trial to begin March 3.

At the start of the year, you can always rely on the Consumer Electronics Show to be a hub for exciting innovations, bold prototypes, and downright weird ideas that aim to make life more convenient. While CES 2026 is (predictably) being dominated by AI shoehorned into various products this week, the show still has a few surprises up its sleeve. Between iterative gaming laptop upgrades for 2026 and flashy new OLED TVs, the event is also serving as a hub for interesting and weird technology.Some of this gear--like Razer's holographic AI companion tube--is already scheduled to be released later this year, while more experimental stuff, like brain-scanning headphones, are still a long way from being seen on store shelves. In case you couldn't make it to Las Vegas this year, here's a quick look at the technology that caught our eyes. These XR glasses will beam an IMAX theater into your eyesAsus and XReal have teamed up for a new set of extended reality glasses, and on paper, these have some seriously impressive tech inside. Scheduled to launch in the first half of 2026, the Asus ROG Xreal R1 features 240Hz micro-OLED 1080p lenses and a dock that lets you connect them to a console or PC via HDMI and DisplayPort. Asus is bringing back the ROG Zephyrus Duo with an even bigger second screenWhat's better than one 3K 16-inch OLED screen on a gaming laptop? Two 3K 16-inch OLED screens, of course. While this isn't the first time Asus has experimented with a multi-monitor display on one of its ROG laptops, this new take on the Zephyrus Duo looks like a wild approach to dual-screen gaming. This PC gaming case has customizable hologram techHolograms make everything cooler, and Asus is leveraging this technology to create a seriously cool PC gaming case. The Asus ROG GM1000 can use its case fans to project holographic images, and users can upload their own GIFs and short MP4s to create custom effects. GameSir put a tiny racing wheel in its new controllerGameSir might be onto something, as the idea of a gaming controller with a dedicated steering wheel right in the center sounds like a fun idea. You've got all the inputs you'd require from modern gaming, a direct drive motor, and up to 65,000 levels of resolution for ultra-accurate steering, the company claims (via The Verge). Pricing and a release date have yet to be revealed. GameSir and HyperX's new controller is massively customizableGameSir's other big controller reveal was the X5 Alteron, a Swiss Army knife of a peripheral designed for iPad, iPhone, Android, and Nintendo Switch. HyperX is helping develop it, and the modular system lets you customize the controller with various modules. This means that you can customize it extensively with different D-pads, thumbsticks, and buttons to create your dream controller. 8BitDo has a new Game Boy-inspired smartphone controller on the wayA gamepad that connects to a smartphone via its USB-C port, the 8BitDo FlipPad borrows heavily from the design of the classic Nintendo Game Boy. The company says it'll reveal more details on the Android and iOS controller ahead of its launch in Summer 2026. CyberPower's new PC cases look sophisticated, have knobsIt might look visually inspired by Nespresso coffee machines, but the new mid-tower case unveiled by CyberPowerPC at CES has an elegant quality. It has everything you'd expect--tempered glass panels, mesh ventilation, and ports--but the real showstopper here is a selection of knobs for controlling the LEDs on this sleek case. This new 8BitDo controller could be the Elite Series 2 alternative you're looking for8BitDo makes some of the best controllers, and at CES 2026, it unveiled the 8BitDo Ultimate 3E wireless modular controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Apple devices, and Android. Just don't expect this to be a budget-friendly option, as the Ultimate 3E will retail for $150 at launch in Q2 2026. Asus is teaming up with Kojima Productions for a new line of PC gaming gearIf you're a fan of Kojima Productions--the studio headed by famed game developer Hideo Kojima--then you'll want to check out these new peripherals from Asus. This special-edition hardware features hand-drawn illustrations by Yoji Shinkawa--the art director for the Death Stranding games--and it'll launch on February 4. The new Corsair keyboard comes with an Elgato Stream Deck attachedThe newly revealed Corsair Galleon 100 SD mechanical keyboard doesn't have a numpad, but it does have a built-in Elgato Stream Deck Plus. This part of the keyboard features 12 customizable buttons, a five-inch 720 x 1280 IPS screen, and rotary dials. It launches on January 29 and it's priced at $350. Project Ava is a holographic anime pal for your desktopRazer's Project Ava is aiming to be a holographic AI desktop companion that can fulfill several roles. From lifestyle reminders to gaming wingman, the device will come with several AI personalities and is expected to launch within the first half of 2026. This neurotech gaming headset will maybe make you better at gamesWe're skeptical about this concept for a "non-invasive" gaming headset that supposedly improves your skills in competitive games, but at least Neurable and HyperX's protoype looks like a comfy set of brain-scanning cans. Lenovo goes ultrawide with this new concept gaming laptopUltrawide monitors have become a popular option over the years, but laptop users can't enjoy them on the go--unless they want to lug a spare monitor around. That's where this concept for a rollable screen comes in: Lenovo is courting "athletes who need pro-level performance" with its gaming laptop. The screen can unfurl to 16, 21.5, and 24 inches. Project Motoko is Razer's AI assistant headsetHyperX isn't the only company with AI-powered headphones at CES 2026, as Razer also showed off its Project Motoko concept. The idea behind this wireless headset is that it uses a ton of tech--including two 4K cameras, a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, near and far field microphones, and built-in AI--to serve a similar function to other AI wearables, like taking photos, translating foreign text, or conversing with an AI assistant. An ultrasonic chef's knife that is basically an IRL Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance bladeIt's not gaming tech, but this $399 ultrasonic chef's knife from Seattle Ultrasonics is the closest thing we have to owning a high-frequency blade in real life. Can it effortlessly cut through a Metal Gear mech? Probably not, but the vibrating piezoelectric ceramic crystals will let you slice through fruit and vegetables easily. Nvidia continues to evolve its DLSS upscaling techWhile Nvidia didn't have a new GPU to show off this year, the company did reveal its DLSS 4.5 upscaling technology. The company claims it can dynamically boost performance in compatible games, enabling up to 240+ frames per second with path tracing on 50-series GPU cards.

They're called ghost particles for a reason. They're everywhere—trillions of them constantly stream through everything: our bodies, our planet, even the entire cosmos. These so-called neutrinos are elementary particles that are invisible, incredibly light, and interact only rarely with other matter.
Nearly everything in the universe is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy, yet we can’t see either of them directly. Scientists are developing detectors so sensitive they can spot particle interactions that might occur once in years or even decades. These experiments aim to uncover what shapes galaxies and fuels cosmic expansion. Cracking this mystery could transform our understanding of the laws of nature.

Joining the ranks of a growing number of smaller, powerful reasoning models is MiroThinker 1.5 from MiroMind, with just 30 billion parameters, compared to the hundreds of billions or trillions used by leading foundation large language models (LLMs).But MiroThinker 1.5 stands out among these smaller reasoners for one major reason: it offers agentic research capabilities rivaling trillion-parameter competitors like Kimi K2 and DeepSeek, at a fraction of the inference cost.The release marks a milestone in the push toward efficient, deployable AI agents. Enterprises have long been forced to choose between expensive API calls to frontier models or compromised local performance. MiroThinker 1.5 offers a third path: open-weight models architected specifically for extended tool use and multi-step reasoning.One of the biggest trends emerging in the industry is a move away from highly specialized agents toward more generalized ones. Until recently, that capability was largely limited to proprietary models. MiroThinker 1.5 represents a serious open-weight contender in this space. Watch my YouTube video on it below. Reduced Hallucination Risk Through Verifiable ReasoningFor IT teams evaluating AI deployment, hallucinations remain the primary barrier to using open models in production. MiroThinker 1.5 addresses this through what MiroMind calls “scientist mode”—a fundamental architectural shift in how the model handles uncertainty.Rather than generating statistically plausible answers from memorized patterns (the root cause of most hallucinations), MiroThinker is trained to execute a verifiable research loop: propose hypotheses, query external sources for evidence, identify mismatches, revise conclusions, and verify again. During training, the model is explicitly penalized for high-confidence outputs that lack source support.The practical implication for enterprise deployment is auditability. When MiroThinker produces an answer, it can surface both the reasoning chain and the external sources it consulted. For regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and legal, this creates a documentation trail that memorization-based models cannot provide. Compliance teams can review not just what the model concluded, but how it arrived there.This approach also reduces the “confident hallucination” problem common in production AI systems. The model is trained to seek verification rather than extrapolate when uncertain—a behavior that translates directly into fewer costly errors.Benchmark Performance: Punching Above Its WeightUnder this framework, MiroThinker-v1.5-30B delivers performance comparable to models with up to 30× more parameters, including the trillion-parameter Kimi-K2-Thinking model. On BrowseComp-ZH, a key benchmark for web research capabilities, the 30B model actually outperformed its trillion-parameter competitor with a score of 69.8.The cost differential is equally notable. MiroMind reports inference costs as low as $0.07 per call for the 30B variant—roughly one-twentieth the cost of Kimi-K2-Thinking—along with faster inference speeds.A larger 235B variant (with 22B active parameters in a mixture-of-experts architecture) ranks in the global top tier across multiple search-agent benchmarks. On general agentic search evaluations, these models hold their own against systems from DeepSeek V3.2, Minimax, GLM, and Kimi-K2.In testing, the larger model approaches Gemini 3 Pro on several benchmarks and comes closer to GPT-5-class systems than its parameter count might suggest. While benchmark hill-climbing is increasingly common, what matters more is overall competitiveness—and MiroThinker holds up well.Extended Tool Use: Up to 400 Tool Calls per SessionThe defining capability of MiroThinker 1.5 is sustained tool use.The models support up to 256,000 tokens of context and claim support for up to 400 tool calls per session—a critical requirement for complex research workflows involving extensive information gathering, synthesis, and cross-checking.This places MiroThinker firmly in the emerging category of agentic models designed for autonomous task completion rather than single-turn Q&A. Practical applications include deep research workflows, content pipelines, report generation, and podcast-style outputs similar to NotebookLM.Training Innovation: Time-Sensitive SandboxAnother major innovation in MiroThinker 1.5 is its Time-Sensitive Training Sandbox.Traditional model training operates from what MiroMind describes as a “God’s-eye view,” where the model has access to finalized outcomes within static datasets—creating hindsight bias. MiroThinker’s training removes that advantage.During training, the model can only interact with information published before a given timestamp, preventing future leakage and forcing it to reason under realistic conditions of incomplete information.The pipeline combines supervised fine-tuning with reinforcement learning using verifiable rewards via Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), an advanced reinforcement learning algorithm popularized by DeepSeek,, encouraging the model to select the right tool at the right time.This approach is especially relevant for enterprise use cases where models must reason about evolving situations rather than recall static facts.Practical Deployment ConsiderationsFor IT teams considering deployment, hardware requirements still matter. Even the 30B model requires a substantial amount of GPU memory, and smaller setups may struggle.One advantage is compatibility. MiroThinker runs on vLLM servers with OpenAI-compatible API endpoints, making it easier to integrate into existing toolchains and function-calling workflows as a drop-in replacement.Both model sizes are available under the permissive, enterprise-friendly MIT license on Hugging Face, and an online demo is available for evaluation. The permissive license removes major barriers to internal deployment and fine-tuning.The Bigger Picture: Interactive Scaling vs. Parameter ScalingMiroThinker 1.5 arrives as the industry confronts the limits of traditional scaling laws. Bigger models no longer guarantee better real-world performance. As Artificial Analysis has noted, many benchmarks are saturated, pushing the industry toward evaluations based on economic usefulness rather than abstract reasoning alone.MiroMind’s bet is on interactive scaling—improving capability through deeper tool interaction rather than ever-larger parameter counts. If correct, this could enable sophisticated agents on infrastructure that does not depend on expensive frontier APIs.The company, founded by Tianqiao Chen and AI scientist Jifeng Dai, describes its mission as building “Native Intelligence”—AI that reasons through interaction, not memorization.Whether this approach becomes dominant or remains a specialized niche is still an open question. But for enterprises wrestling with cost-capability tradeoffs, MiroThinker 1.5 offers a compelling data point: sometimes, teaching a model how to research matters more than teaching it to remember everything.
