Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily look at what's moving in the world of technology.

Anthropic has released what it's calling its most capable model yet, Opus five point five, and notably, it comes with lower prices than its predecessor. The company says it matches so-called Fable-level performance, describing it as the strongest-performing model they've tested to date. For enterprises watching their AI spend, that cost reduction may matter just as much as the benchmark.

Meanwhile, President Trump made a surprising detour into AI branding during his speech at the UN General Assembly, announcing that the United States is officially renaming artificial intelligence to super intelligence. His reasoning: the word artificial makes intelligence sound fake. The declaration carries no regulatory weight, but it does signal how the administration wants to frame the technology politically going forward.

And Rabbit is back. The startup that once bet everything on a dedicated AI hardware device is now launching OS three, a cross-platform agent app that runs on the devices people actually own. It's a significant pivot, acknowledging that consumers weren't ready to replace their phones with a pocket gadget, no matter how clever the concept.

That's the day in tech. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
