Perplexity

Alyriaz articles that mention it
- Which AI assistant knows the most about you?
A study compares the data collected by AI assistants. Meta AI and Muse declare almost twice as much as the others. How to verify.
- For the first time, ChatGPT accounts for less than half of the AI market
According to Sensor Tower's 2026 report, ChatGPT's market share has fallen below 50% for the first time. We break down the numbers: Gemini's rise, Claude's record conversion rate, and what it reveals about users who now choose their AI rather than having it imposed on them.
- SubQ: the startup that may have killed the transformer
Since 2017 and the publication of the paper "Attention is All You Need", every major AI model has been based on the transformer architecture. SubQ, launched on 5 May 2026, is the first commercial model to break with this paradigm. Here is what changes technically, and why the AI community is deeply divided over the implications.
- Journalism takes AI head-on: 3,400 jobs lost in 2025, 500 in the first quarter of 2026
In 2025, more than 3,400 journalism jobs disappeared in the US and UK. 2026 will probably beat that record. Newsrooms are making redundancies, AIs are summarising in their place, and Google AI Overviews is siphoning traffic away from media outlets. Alyriaz is itself a media outlet built on AI. Here is the honest take on what is really changing, from our point of view.
- Self-driving cars in 2026: where do we really stand?
In 2015, Elon Musk promised that Tesla would complete a fully autonomous Los Angeles to New York trip. It is now 2026. He has done it several times, but with human supervision. Waymo, meanwhile, carries passengers with no one at the wheel in 5 cities. Cruise is dead. Here is the honest state of a long-announced revolution that is finally unfolding, but differently.
- The AI startups quietly outperforming while the giants collapse
In our article on the great AI failures, we showed how Sora, the Humane Pin, Microsoft Designer and Apple Siri crashed and burned in 2026. At the other end of the scale, some startups are posting growth curves never seen before in the history of software. Here is who is really winning, and why.
