Engadget's hottest review roundup truly has it all this week: a new pocket cam, a 2-in-1 smart grill, a pair of drones and a pricey skinny vac.

DJI's Osmo Pocket cameras have become a staple of Engadget's live event coverage over the last few years. They're convenient, compact and product high-quality footage when speed matters.

"Been thinking a lot about whether it's possible to stop humanity from developing AI. I think the answer is most definitely not," Altman wrote at the time. "If it's going to happen anyway, it seems like it would be good for someone other than Google to do it first.

DeepSeek has released its latest AI models, the V4 Pro and Flash versions, a bit over a year after it went viral and became the top rated free app on Apple's App Store in the US. "Welcome to the era of cost-effective 1 million context length," DeepSeek said in its announcement. Context length is what you call the maximum number of tokens that an AI model can remember, so the bigger it is, the more coherent and consistent an AI is when it comes to extended conversations.
