Mr. Musk’s rocket and satellite maker disclosed its financial performance for the first time, as it prepares to go public in what is set to be one of the largest offerings to date.

Google previewed new Gemini-powered features coming to Android Auto and Google Built-in at I/O 2026. The updates are designed to make in-car interactions more helpful while keeping drivers focused on the road. Here’s an early look at Google’s expanding AI ambitions in vehicles.

CNET Editor at Large Andrew Lanxon hosts a panel discussion about the latest generative AI demos we saw at Google I/O 2026. Who is this for and why does Google think it's so important?

Google unveiled its Android XR intelligent eyewear at I/O 2026, but major details remain unknown. CNET’s Andrew Lanxon leads a discussion on what Google revealed, what’s still missing, and what consumers can realistically expect from the upcoming glasses.

Sam Altman's OpenAI may be losing money to the tune of $1 billion a month. It may be struggling to convert more than 5% of ChatGPT users to paid customers. And it may be losing ground to rivals like Anthropic (makers of the highly-teased Claude Mythos) and Google (makers of the freshly updated Gemini).

But OpenAI investors still believe they can cash in — perhaps to the tune of $1 trillion — if the company launches on the stock market soon.

And now that Elon Musk's lawsuit (which claimed OpenAI defrauded him during its conversion to a for-profit company) has been dismissed at trial on a technicality, the launch window appears to be opening.

Sources at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley told reporters at the Wall Street Journal that the OpenAI IPO would be filed with regulators as early as this Friday. And though plans remain "fluid," the Journal warned, that would mean you'll likely see OpenAI shares debut on the NYSE as soon as September.

Musk, meanwhile, says he plans to appeal the trial verdict; a bonanza IPO for a company still nominally governed by a nonprofit board may help bolster his case. Ironically, Musk is currently distracted by his own pending IPO bonanza; SpaceX, fresh off its acquisition of xAI, is also reportedly ready to file paperwork with regulators this week.

So, Altman, increasingly Musk's AI nemesis, may be taking a little of his rival's thunder here. But exactly how much Altman will take home from an OpenAI IPO remains a mystery.

The CEO confirmed in the courtroom what has been an open secret for some time — that Altman does have investments in the company, via a fund at the Silicon Valley incubator he used to run, YCombinator.

In 2023, Altman told the U.S. Senate he had no financial stake in the company, per The Atlantic. He's now the target of a probe led by GOP members of the House Oversight Committee, which is looking into OpenAI's habit of making deals with other companies Altman has investments in.

In other words, Altman's long-documented reputation for telling people what they want to hear may be catching up with him, while the wheels are wobbling a bit on the OpenAI bandwagon. And yet, at the same time, a payday of unknown magnitude approaches.

Google I/O 2026 gave us plenty to talk about, but what about the things Google didn't say? Join CNET Editor at Large Andrew Lanxon and a panel of top tech experts as they dig into the biggest missing pieces, delayed features and skipped announcements from this year's keynote.

Kickstarter is walking back recent changes to its content guidelines, which users lambasted as blanket censorship.

Kickstarter announced the new adult-oriented content guidelines last week, prohibiting pornographic imagery, projects and reward tiers tied to sexual pleasure or gratification, and marketing of products designed for "insertion and penetration."

The changes were made to better reflect policies set by Stripe, the platform's payment processor.

Kickstarter had previously come under fire for similar restrictions on sex toy companies, which were later amended. But as of last week, those policies were back on the table. Indie companies and artists who rely on the crowdfunding site decried the move, arguing that the new guidelines limited creative expression and impacted their businesses. Many suggested moving to competitor sites like Patreon.

"Honestly? We botched it. The rules didn't land the way we intended, and the response from our community let us know loud and clear that we got it wrong," wrote Kickstarter COO Sean Leow in a May 19 blog post. "The decision we made was an abandonment of the core counterculture, f*ck the establishment spirit of Kickstarter, and it left our community vulnerable."

According to Leow, the new guidelines — which merged existing Kickstarter rules and Stripe prohibitions — were intended to provide a more streamlined experience for users who may eventually face roadblocks in their campaigns due to Stripe's e-commerce constraints. "Over the past several months, we've seen a growing number of campaigns that had already been approved by Kickstarter get suspended by Stripe mid-funding," he wrote.

However, in the face of widespread criticism, Leow said the platform would reverse course, reinstating former policies that simply prohibit pornography and illegal content — but this also means campaigns can once again face suspension at any point in time, Leow explained.

While Kickstarter goes back to the drawing board, users can consult the platform's mature content review guide, which includes an explanation of common suspension triggers and ways to request an exception.

At last year's Google I/O event, we (and most outlets) modestly declared that the Google Search we had known for the past 20 years was dead. Fast forward a year, and it's still really, really dead. Not to beat on a dead horse or anything, but with I/O 2026, Google firmly established that Search is and will be built on Gemini and artificial intelligence.

Search is no longer a place you go to find a link. It's becoming a place you go to have an AI handle the whole thing for you. Based on everything Google announced at I/O 2026, the way people find information on the internet is about to look fundamentally different. Whether any of this is actually useful depends on the person being asked, but Google wants to fundamentally change how we navigate the internet.

Publishers are in trouble

AI Overviews have been chipping away at web traffic since they launched, and everything Google announced this week accelerates that trend. When Search agents are scanning the web 24/7 on your behalf, when AI Mode is handling your follow-up questions, when the search box is expanding to accept entire paragraphs of context — the implicit promise is that you won't need to click through to anyone's website to get what you need.

Google gets the query, Google surfaces the answer, and the publisher who wrote the piece that informed that answer gets nothing.

This fight between online content publishers and Google has been raging since last year, when the whole thing was dubbed the "traffic apocalypse." Google, of course, has pushed back on the framing that publishers are getting the short end of the stick, arguing that users who do click links after seeing AI Overviews engage more deeply with those sites. That may be true in a narrow sense, but it sidesteps the larger issue — fewer people are clicking at all.

SEE ALSO: Common Crawl accused of feeding paywalled content to AI companies

That pushback comes from a Wall Street Journal report from June 2025. In it, Neil Vogel, CEO of Dotdash Meredith — the company behind People and Southern Living — told the Journal that Google search went from driving roughly 60 percent of their traffic at the time of their 2021 merger down to about a third. The floor, based on everything announced at I/O this week, hasn't been found yet.

Publishers are responding by pivoting toward direct relationships with readers — newsletters, events, apps, subscriptions — anything that doesn't depend on Google as a middleman. That's a reasonable long-term strategy, but a fundamental restructuring of how digital media works.

A new search box

The AI Search Box — the first redesign of Google's search bar in over 25 years — is built for conversations now. You can drop in images, files, videos, and Chrome tabs alongside a long-form prompt and let Google figure out what you're actually asking.

Obviously, this is a massive shift in how we search on the internet. Google searching used to be about compression. To ask our questions in the fewest possible words. The entire discipline of SEO was built around the assumption that people type short, imprecise fragments into a box, and that it's Google's job to interpret them. "Flights NYC to LA." "Best running shoes 2026." "Symptoms of strep throat."

Now Google is actively dismantling that habit. With the expanded search box, Google wants you to stop translating your thoughts into keyword-ese and just talk to it. Tell it you're planning a trip, attach your calendar, upload a photo of the hotel you're considering, and let Gemini piece it all together. The idea being that the more context you give it, the more helpful the AI is.

And that's true to an extent, but it's more information you're giving Google, and more data for them to collect. The company spent $68 million earlier this year settling a lawsuit after it was alleged that Google's Google Assistant recorded "private conversations without permission."

Whether users are ready to hand over that level of context — and whether Google has earned that trust — is a question the keynote didn't really address.

The hallucination problem isn't going away

For all the polish Google put on its AI features at I/O, one thing conspicuously absent from the keynote was any serious reckoning with accuracy. AI Overviews have a documented history of surfacing confidently wrong information, and the new conversational follow-up feature essentially lets you go deeper into an AI-generated summary without necessarily verifying the foundation it's built on.

Gmail VP Blake Barnes touched on this in his conversation with Mashable's Haley Henschel, noting that Gmail Live is being built with sourcing so users can check which emails informed the AI's response. That's a reasonable approach for a personal inbox tool. But for a broader search across the entire web, the bar for scrutiny needs to be higher due to the risk of misinformation and disinformation. As Google hands over more of the search experience to AI, the burden of fact-checking shifts more squarely onto users. That's worth keeping in mind every time an AI Overview tells you something with complete confidence.

The agentic push across everything Google announced this week, like Spark running your life in the background, Search agents monitoring the web on your behalf, and AI that can call businesses, make purchases, and book reservations, is the early infrastructure of something that looks a lot like what the AI research community means when it talks about AGI-adjacent systems.

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis described Gemini Omni at I/O as a meaningful step toward AGI — artificial general intelligence, the theoretical point at which an AI system can perform any intellectual task a human can. That framing was almost a throwaway line in the context of a video generation demo, which is exactly what makes it worth paying attention to.

Google's answer to the obvious concern about that — what stops it from doing something you didn't want — is the Agent Payments Protocol and a set of configurable limits that give administrators ultimate control over the AI. Josh Woodward, VP of Google Labs, described the philosophy as being like handing a teenager their first debit card. That's a candid framing, and in some ways a reassuring one. But it also acknowledges that the trajectory is toward more autonomy, not less. The guardrails are explicitly described as temporary.

Right now, when Gemini gets something wrong in a search summary, the stakes are relatively low. As these systems take on more — scheduling, purchasing, monitoring, acting — the cost of a confident wrong answer goes up considerably. Google wasn't having that conversation on stage at I/O. That's the one worth having now.

If you want an e-reader but don't want anything to do with Amazon, the alternative is a Rakuten Kobo e-reader. Kobos are speedy, easy-to-use, and a great value, but now, they're teaming up with another bookish company for the ultimate reading integration. The Storygraph, a platform for tracking everything you read, is now coming to all Kobo devices in June.

The integration syncs Kobo e-readers and apps to a Storygraph account. That means your reading progress will automatically be captured in your Storygraph account, so when you finish a book, it's marked as read without any additional effort from you.

"Our mission is to make reading lives better, and removing the friction from tracking is one of the most direct ways we can do that," says Nadia Odunayo, Founder & CEO, StoryGraph. The new partnership between Rakuten Kobo and Storygraph further cements both brands as anti-Amazon alternatives.

So much of the book industry is dominated by Amazon. The mega-brand makes Kindles, the most popular e-readers, and is a major online bookseller of physical and e-books. Since 2013, Amazon has owned Goodreads, the original book tracking platform. Kindles and Goodreads are already integrated, offering features similar to those in the Kobo and Storygraph integration, including progress tracking.

But with plenty of readers feeling resistant to Amazon and the impact it has had on independent bookstores, there's a desire for alternatives, whether that be with e-readers or a place to track reading.

For many years, Plex has been one of the go-to options for anyone looking to curate a server for all their downloaded media. Unfortunately, it's about to become much more expensive to guarantee lifetime access to its best features.

Plex announced in a blog post on Tuesday that its Lifetime Pass subscription (a one-time payment that locks you into its highest premium service tier for life) will increase from $249.99 to $749.99 on July 1. As Android Authority pointed out, this comes only about a year after Plex had previously more than doubled the price from $119.99 to $249.99. In a little over 12 months, the service has increased in price by 525 percent.

That's pretty staggering, but one tiny silver lining is that the change doesn't go into effect for several weeks, so you have some time to decide if you want to lock into a lifetime of Plex premium service for $250 or invest in an alternative. Plex is one of the most popular services for storing downloaded media like movies and TV shows, and the paid tier offers more flexibility for downloads, remote streaming for all users, and other bonuses that might make it worth $250, if not necessarily $750.

If that cost is too high for you, it might be worth looking into something like Jellyfin. I know my friends who care a lot about media server curation have some fondness for that one, and it definitely won't cost as much as a decent smartphone to set up.

Usually, when a tech brand drops a brand-new flagship product, you have to wait months (or until Black Friday) to see any sort of meaningful price drop. But if you've been holding out for a top-of-the-line robot vacuum that can handle a household full of pets, you're in luck. Yeedi literally just launched its next-generation flagship today, and they're rolling it out with a $100 discount.

Anyone with a pet knows the fresh hell of waking up in the morning to a mystery mess that’s been baking on the kitchen floor overnight. By the time you find it, it’s hardened into concrete, which leaves you with one option: manually spraying it down, letting it soak (probably for hours), and eventually getting on your hands and knees to scrub it off.

The pre-soaking step is exactly what this machine is designed to automate: Yeedi says this robo-vac is the first to feature "FocusJet Pre-Treatment Technology — an industry-first intelligent stain pre-treatment system for robot mopping." Instead of just running a damp pad over a hardened spill and hoping for the best, it uses dual high-pressure atomizing nozzles to spray a diluted cleaning solution directly onto targeted stains. By pre-dissolving and loosening the stubborn gunk first, the wide 27 cm self-washing roller mop can clear the mess in a single pass without leaving a sticky streak behind.

On top of that, it delivers 22,000 Pa of suction power to pull debris out of carpets, includes automatic mop lifting to keep your rugs dry, and features a fast-charging system that gives you a 13 percent battery boost in just three minutes.

Whether you find yourself in a power outage because of a storm or you're preparing to go off-grid, a portable power station is always a smart buy. These units can be charged and recharged to help keep you online and powered up when electricity is nowhere to be found, and they're particularly useful during the warmer months when storms come raging through and kill the power. We've found one that's well worth investing in as it's on sale right now.

As of May 20, get the Jackery Explorer 500 v2 for $339 at Amazon, down from its usual price of $449. That's $110 off and a discount of 24%.

It can handle charging laptops, cameras, phones, small appliances, and more, so it's perfect for a camping trip, a night without electricity, or living off the grid.

It weighs just 14 lbs, and has a lightweight, streamlined design with a foldable handle. There's also an LED light on the unit itself, so you can see what you're doing even in the inky black darkness.

With a LiFePO4 battery that features 6000 charge cycles, this power station can reliably give you over 10 years of performance, with just 5% battery drain during half a year of storage. And it charges from 0 to 80% in under an hour, so there's less waiting around for it to be ready.

Now that it's on sale, it'd be a smart idea to grab one before the summer storms fully roll in and take over. It's never fun to be sitting in the dark, after all.

Just in time for summer gaming and streaming shows while we hide away from the heat, Samsung is dropping new gaming monitors, work-worthy monitors, and an updated portable monitor with stand. Some of these Samsung upgrades are industry firsts and will set the benchmark going forward. All new models have yet to be released for ordering, but here are all the details we know so far.

High-performance gaming monitors with better resolution

The Samsung Odyssey lineup of gaming monitors has long been considered some of the best. Naturally, Samsung has decided to outdo itself and we now have 5 and 6K monitors to replace the previous 4K. Both new models feature a DisplayPort 2.1 and have computability with both AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync.

The Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G8 (G80HS) marks the very first time we've seen a 6K gaming monitor. That means we'll be treated to better clarity and exceptional details. Samsung used a 224PPI and an IPS panel on this model that'll reach the wild 6K resolution with a refresh rate of 165Hz. Dual mode will give access to up to 330Hz at 3K resolution.

Going a bit smaller in size, the 27-inch Odyssey G8 (G80HF) comes with 5K resolution at up to 180Hz with 218PPI. Dual mode brings that to 360Hz.

Upgrades to OLED gaming monitors

For great contrast and ultra-quick performance, you might prefer to head into the OLED range of gaming monitors. Samsung has two new models to check out.

The larger of the two, the 32-inch Odyssey OLED G7 (G73SH) comes with 4K resolution at up to 165Hz which is great news for high-performance with smooth gameplay. A 0.03ms response time is also welcomed for competitive, fast-paced games.

The smaller 27-inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SH) has a higher refresh rate, at a speedy 240Hz. Samsung also used their Glare Free technology on this model which might make it a more appealing option for those who game in bright rooms or during daylight hours. Samsung also mentioned the new Odyssey OLED G8 has VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification which is an ideal feature if you prioritize deep black and bright, vibrant colors.

Work stations made better

Of course, Samsung didn't forget about those of us who are looking for an upgrade to monitors designed for work.

The 40-inch Samsung ViewFinity S8 (S85TH) has a curved display with 144Hz and a Thunderbolt 5 for intensive tasks and 80Gbps data transfer. Going smaller, the 27-inch ViewFinity S8 (S80HF) has impressive 5K resolution and USB-C connectivity.

Improvements to a versatile, rolling display

For those who want ultimate versatility, the Samsung Movingstyle Essential is designed for portability. It has a 43-inch display with 4K UDH resolution that sits on a rolling stand with adjustable height. Plus, it can tilt, swivel, and pivot to your needs. It's ideal for home use that spans gaming, working, or viewing your favorite shows from whatever room you're currently in.

OK, so I am in love with my new robot vacuum (I have the Dreame L60 Pro Ultra and it's currently $140 off). It has, not to be too dramatic, changed my life and made quick cleanups so much easier. But I completely get it if you're still on the fence about buying one — dropping hundreds of dollars on a gadget just to clean your floors is a hard pill to swallow.

If you are going to drop that kind of cash, you at least want to make sure you're getting a discount to help soften the blow. While I love my Dreame, the EcoVacs Deebot X11 Pro Omni is the model you should look at today, since it just hit its lowest price to date for Memorial Day.

This hybrid robo-vac delivers 19,500Pa suction power, has an active self-washing roller mop that automatically lifts 0.6 inches when it hits carpet so your rugs stay dry, and an Omni dock that empties the dustbin, washes the roller with hot water, and dries it with 145-degree air so it never starts smelling funky.

Looking for a way to level up your desktop? A gaming monitor is a great way to do it, especially if you want to go bigger. A small screen will work with all your favorite games, but a bigger one can make you feel like you're raiding that dungeon in real life -- or something close to it. We found a fantastic deal on a gaming monitor at Amazon that you can shop right now.

This 34-inch monitor boasts a QD-OLED HDR screen with a 3440x1440 resolution and a 175Hz refresh rate. Its 0.03 ms response time is perfect for your twitchy action games and even cozy building games, so nothing gets past your purview when you set this big boy on your deskop. It's also G-Sync compatible, so you can cut down on lag and screen tearing.

Its Asus OLED Care Pro function has a Neo Proximity Sensor that can detect when you're away, so it can switch from your game to a black screen to reduce potential burn-in risks. It also has a special Asus DisplayWidget Center app to let you customize this function and more as well as your monitor's overall settings on-screen instead of using on-board physical controls.

If you've been clinging to a smaller, less splashy monitor for some time, it might be a good idea to go ahead and invest in this one -- it's large and in charge, and you'll love seeing all your media (not just games) on the big screen. Even better to get it at its lowest price yet, but it won't last, so you might want to get it sooner than later.

Right now, you can get the 100-inch Samsung Class Neo QLED 4K Mini LED Smart TV (2025 Model) for $3,997.99 at Amazon. It normally lists for $5,497.99, which means you're getting a 27% discount — or $1,500 in savings. It's also the lowest price we've tracked for this model.

Comical size aside, this TV has the specs to back up the price tag. It uses concentrated Mini LEDs for precise contrast, has built-in Dolby Atmos for spatial audio, and features a native 120Hz refresh rate that can handle VRR gaming at up to 144Hz without any screen tearing. It even uses AI upscaling backed by 20 neural networks to make sure older shows and movies still look sharp when stretched across a 100-inch display. (A Golden Girls marathon, which happens every Sunday evening on MeTV, on this thing could heal me.)
