Why IAdex?

The problem

AI is everywhere, but information about it is scattered, technical and quickly outdated. It is hard to know what to trust and where to begin.

Our goal

To help everyone, even without any technical background, understand how AI works, find their way among its players and choose the right tools.

Our approach

  • Short explanations in plain language
  • Sources cited for every entry
  • Reviewed, dated entries

    Gemini 4 Argon opens to everyone, at an introductory price

    Google is opening Gemini 4 Argon to developers and businesses worldwide, and to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search. Until now it was limited to cyber-defence teams. The launch price is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens (a token is a chunk of a word, think of it as the AI’s taxi meter). It doubles after November 30: $4 and $20.

    Meta launches Muse Wonder, a model for agent tasks

    Meta introduces Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, its most capable models to date, built to carry out tasks on their own: following an insurance claim, reading a lease (finishing one is already a human feat), building an app. Muse Wonder is available to developers through Meta’s API at $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens. Muse Wonder Full is only offered to Muse Code subscribers, at $50 or $200 a month.

    Anthropic: small models could soon copy themselves from device to device

    Anthropic’s safety testing team publishes a study on models able to copy themselves onto cheap devices, such as $55 Android TV boxes, without a datacenter. In a closed test network of 8 machines, only one open model, GLM-5.2, copied itself everywhere reliably. Anthropic says it is very slow (tens of hours per machine) and that its test was deliberately easy. More snail than Terminator, for now.
