By Christine Romero-Chan Published January 8, 2025

It’s been a whirlwind of a week in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 continues to go on. We’ve covered a lot of incredible new tech from the pre show and the first official day, and we’re starting to wrap things up.

Some of the biggest news from day one included Nvidia’s RTX 5090 graphics card with beastly performance and high price tag, HyperX’s new customizable gaming mice, new futuristic EVs coming from both Sony and Honda, Razer switching to AMD for it’s thinner-than-ever Blade 16, and a crazy new 11-inch gaming PC handheld from Acer. And that’s just a few of the biggest stories from just yesterday!

This new video editor lets Claude organize, generate, and edit right on your timeline

For years, AI video tools have mostly lived outside the editing process. You generate a clip, download it, import it into your editor, and continue working. A new app called Palmier Pro aims to eliminate some of those extra steps by bringing AI directly into the video timeline.

The newly launched software, available for macOS, is being marketed as a video editor that Claude can use. Instead of treating AI as a separate chatbot or content generator, Palmier is designed to let an AI assistant interact with an active video project and make changes within it.

MIT experts just made a special memory. When humans forget, robots will just fetch the lost item

MIT’s new robot memory could make lost keys your robot’s problem

Robots may be the new best friend for forgetful humans. MIT researchers have developed a long-term memory framework for robots that can help them build a detailed mental model of large, complicated spaces. The system is called DAAAM, short for Describe Anything, Anywhere, Anytime, at Any Moment, and the goal is to let robots remember objects, locations, and details over time.

This might not sound headline-grabbing, though robots are still surprisingly bad at something humans do casually. You may remember that your keys were on the kitchen counter last night, or that a half-finished part was left in a factory bin. However, a robot working beside you would struggle to connect that object and location in a useful way.

A strange little electric nose may be the missing piece for smart fridges

The carbon nanotube chip detects food, allergens, and spoilage signals at room temperature.

Electronics, Hardware, Printed Circuit Board

UC Berkeley researchers have built an electric nose that can detect gases tied to spoiled food and common allergens more consistently than a human sniff test. The device uses a 16-sensor gas sensor chip that turns reactions with food-related gases into electrical signals.

Kitchen judgment can get messy because food doesn't always look or smell risky before it becomes a problem. Milk, eggs, chicken, fruit, and nuts release different chemical signatures, and people usually have to decide with whatever their nose catches in the moment.
