Kaspersky Lab introduces free Antivirus Software
The Kaspersky Lab launched a free version of its antivirus globally. Kaspersky free was immediately available in Canada, the US and many Asia Pacific countries and in the coming months would launch in other regions, the company founder, Eugene Kaspersky, wrote in a blog post.
The free version was not planned to replace the paid version of antivirus software, Kaspersky said. Describing it as offering “the bare essentials”, such as web antivirus protection and email and automatic updates.

The free antivirus software would provide advantages to all users of Kaspersky’s’ lab by improving machine learning across its products, he said.
The firm has been working on Kaspersky for 18 months, a development phase that included pilot versions in many markets including Ukraine, Russia, China and Scandinavian countries.

Kaspersky Lab founded in 1997, grew rapidly through the 2000s to become one the best antivirus software firms. But the company is suspicion for its relations with Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia.
Objections about the firm have started in the US in recent years because of decline in the Russia-US ties following Russia’s attack of Crimea in 2014 and in 2016 when the US intelligence concluded that Russia had hacked the 2016 presidential election of the US.

The Russia denies the allegations of hacking and Kaspersky has also repeatedly denied it has any relation with any government, saying the accusation against it lacks evidence.
FBI agents visited the homes of Kaspersky employees last month as part of counterintelligence probe, and the Trump administration took steps to remove the company from the list of approved companies who sell technology to federal government agencies. A bill in the Congress that would stop the Department of Defense from the products of Kaspersky.
Privately held Kaspersky said its US revenue, most of which comes from selling antivirus to small business and consumers, dropped from $164 million in 2014 to about $156 million in 2016.

Indeed, Glassdoor to lay off 1,300 staff

Recruit Holdings, the Japanese parent of Indeed and Glassdoor, said on Friday that it is laying off about 1,300 employees, or 6% of the staff, at the two job sites.
The job cuts would affect functions mostly in the U.S. across the two companies’ R&D, tech, and HR and sustainability divisions, Reuters reported, citing an internal memo.
Reuters also reported that the company’s CEO, Hisayuki Idekoba, wrote in the memo: “AI is changing the world, and we must adapt by ensuring our product delivers truly great experiences for job seekers and employers.”
Glassdoor’s operations are also being integrated into Indeed, Reuters reported, adding that Glassdoor’s CEO Christian Sutherland-Wong would leave the company on October 1.
The job cuts come as tech companies across the world roll back their sustainability initiatives and cut jobs to balance out extensive spending on integrating AI into their businesses. Tens of thousands of people stand to lose jobs at Microsoft, TikTok, Match, Intel and Meta, per announcements in just the past couple of months.
Indeed and Glassdoor did not immediately return requests for comment outside regular business hours.

Former Intel CEO launches a benchmark to measure AI alignment

After former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger capped off a 40+ year career at the semiconductor giant in December, many wondered where would Gelsinger go next. On Thursday, the former Intel CEO revealed one piece of his next chapter: trying to ensure AI models support a flourishing humanity.
In partnership with a “faith tech” company he first invested in roughly 10 years ago called Gloo, Gelsinger launched a new benchmark — Flourishing AI, or FAI — to test how well AI models align with certain human values. The FAI benchmark is based on The Global Flourshing Study, a survey directed by Harvard and Baylor University, to measure human well-being around the world.
Gloo took six core categories from the study — Character and Virtue; Close Social Relationships, Happiness and Life Satisfaction, Meaning and Purpose, Mental and Physical Health, Financial and Material Stability — and added one more, Faith and Spirituality, to test LLMs.
In an interview with The New Stack, Gelsinger said he’s “lived at the intersection of faith tech my entire life.”

Elon Musk’s xAI launches Grok 4 alongside a $300 monthly subscription

Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, late on Wednesday released its latest flagship AI model, Grok 4, and unveiled a new $300-per-month AI subscription plan, SuperGrok Heavy.
Grok is xAI’s answer to models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, and can analyze images and respond to questions. In recent months, Grok has become more deeply integrated into Musk’s social network, X, which was recently acquired by xAI. However, that has also put Grok’s misbehavior front and center for millions of users.
The expectations are high for Grok 4. The latest AI model from xAI will be stacked up against OpenAI’s forthcoming AI model, GPT-5, which is expected to launch later this summer.
“With respect to academic questions, Grok 4 is better than PhD level in every subject, no exceptions,” said Elon Musk during a livestream Wednesday night. “At times, it may lack common sense, and it has not yet invented new technologies or discovered new physics, but that is just a matter of time.”

The launch of Grok 4 comes amid a tumultuous week for Elon Musk’s companies. Earlier on Wednesday, Linda Yaccarino stepped down from her role as the CEO of X after roughly two years with the company. X has yet to announce her successor.
Yaccarino’s departure comes just days after Grok’s official, automated X account responded to users with antisemitic comments criticizing Hollywood’s “Jewish executives” and praising Hitler. xAI had to briefly limit Grok’s account and delete the offensive posts. In response to the incident, xAI appeared to have removed a recently added section from Grok’s public system prompt, a list of instructions for the AI chatbot to follow, that told it not to shy away from making “politically incorrect” claims.
Musk and xAI’s leaders largely avoided discussing the incident, instead focusing on Grok 4’s performance and capabilities.
xAI launched two models on Wednesday: Grok 4 and Grok 4 Heavy — the latter being the company’s “multi-agent version” that offers increased performance. Musk claimed that Grok 4 Heavy spawns multiple agents to work on a problem simultaneously, and then they all compare their work “like a study group” to find the best answer.
xAI claims that Grok 4 shows frontier level performance on several benchmarks, including Humanity’s Last Exam— a challenging test measuring AI’s ability to answer thousands of crowdsourced questions on subjects like math, humanities, and natural science. According to xAI, Grok 4 scored 25.4% on Humanity’s Last Exam without “tools,” outperforming Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, which scored 21.6%, and OpenAI’s o3 (high), which scored 21%.
xAI claims that Grok 4 Heavy, with “tools,” was able to achieve a score of 44.4%, outperforming Gemini 2.5 Pro with tools, which scored 26.9%.
The nonprofit Arc Prize says that Grok achieves a new state-of-the-art score on its ARC-AGI-2 test — another difficult benchmark that consists of puzzle-like problems where an AI has to identify visual patterns — scoring 16.2%. That’s nearly twice the score of the next best commercial AI model, Claude Opus 4.

Alongside Grok 4 and Grok 4 Heavy, xAI launched its most expensive AI subscription plan yet, a $300-per-month subscription called SuperGrok Heavy. Subscribers to the plan will get an early preview to Grok 4 Heavy, as well as early access to new features. The plan is similar to ultra-premium tiers offered by OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, but xAI now offers the most expensive subscription among major AI providers.
SuperGrok Heavy subscribers may get early access to some new products xAI plans to launch in the coming months. The company said Wednesday that an AI coding model is coming in August, a multi-modal agent in September, and a video generation model in October.
xAI is releasing Grok 4 through its API in an effort to get developers to build applications with the model. The company notes that xAI’s enterprise sector is only two months old, however, it plans to work with hyperscalers to make Grok available through their cloud platforms.
Despite Grok’s frontier-level performance on benchmarks, it may prove difficult for xAI to move past its recent mishaps as it tries to pitch Grok to businesses as a real contender to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Whether businesses are ready to adopt Grok, flaws and all, remains to be seen.
