Chery plans to launch robots in Brazil, including a robot dog for domestic use and a commercial humanoid

Chery is about to introduce two devices developed by AiMOGA Robotics to the Brazilian market: Argos, intended for the end consumer, and Mornine, designed to operate in dealerships. These robots represent new offerings from the company.

Although the products are still awaiting approval from Anatel, they are expected to arrive in the country during the last quarter of this year.

Details about the models

Argos, the robot dog, is the model expected to attract the most public interest. It was designed for entertainment purposes and has the ability to perform various commands, such as sit, lie down, run, and paw.

A notable feature of Argos is its autonomous operation; unlike other connected devices, it does not require internet access to perform its tasks. This allows the user to have a robotic interaction experience at home without the need for extra infrastructure. Furthermore, the equipment has an internal battery and can operate for up to two hours before needing recharging.

According to AiMOGA Robotics, which is the robotics division of Chery International, the company has already distributed more than 2,000 humanoid and robot dogs in over 60 nations.

Commercial function of Mornine

While Argos focuses on the home, Mornine will have a specific commercial application. This humanoid robot will serve as a brand representative in OMODA & JAECOO dealerships in Brazil. Connected to cloud systems, Mornine has the functionality to converse with customers, present vehicle features, clarify doubts, and direct service to salespeople when necessary.

This equipment also performs movements such as walking, greeting visitors, and dancing. The manufacturer reported that Mornine was the first humanoid robot globally to obtain dual certification from the European Union for both hardware and software, meeting rigorous standards for safety, data protection, and cybersecurity.

The introduction of these robots signals the evolution of robotics, moving out of testing and demonstration environments to take on roles more integrated into daily life. In Brazil, this launch is expected to increase public contact with this technology starting late this year.

The initiative is led by AiMOGA Robotics, the technological arm of Chery International, and will be operationalized in Brazil through OMODA & JAECOO. If the schedule is maintained, the new robots should enter the Brazilian market in the fourth quarter of this year.

Over 1.5 million people trained in artificial intelligence in Uzbekistan

More than 1.5 million users in Uzbekistan have received certificates in artificial intelligence. The country is actively promoting programs aimed at training qualified personnel to master this new technological field.

Overview of results and tasks for developing the AI ecosystem

Issues concerning improving competencies and training in the field of AI were presented to President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The presentation highlighted the achieved results and planned further steps to strengthen the artificial intelligence ecosystem in the country.

In addition to mass training of ordinary users, specialized training courses were attended by 900 managers, over 3 thousand civil servants, a thousand bank employees, and 200 AI consultants.

For the next two years, the goal has been set to increase the number of trained specialists through the implementation of the 'Five Million AI Leaders' project. This project includes the development of up-to-date educational materials for schoolchildren, students, teachers, and the general public.

The development of skills in the field of artificial intelligence is also taking place at the regional level. In cities such as Nukus, Samarkand, Termez, Bukhara, Fergana, Andijan, Gulistan, and Jizzakh, industry hackathons and competitions have been held to stimulate new ideas and support projects in this area.

OpenAI announces that the free version of ChatGPT will have unlimited text conversations starting next week

OpenAI announced last Thursday, the 6th, that it will implement an offer of unrestricted text message conversations for users of the Free and Go plans of ChatGPT. This change will take effect the following week and will apply only to interactions consisting solely of text; other features will maintain their specific limitations.

Along with this update, there will be a modification to the standard model accessible in these modes. This same week, GPT-5.6 Luna will replace GPT-5.5 Instant as the main option for conversations. In parallel, the company will introduce new control mechanisms focused on response processing.

According to OpenAI, this initiative aims to increase the availability of the latest models and make the service more useful to the public, especially given the growing competition in the artificial intelligence systems market.

It is important to note that the removal of the message limit strictly refers to dialogues composed only of text. Features such as sending files, inserting images, image generation, and using voice mode will remain subject to limits set by the company.

Another change announced concerns the replacement of the default model for Free and Go plan users. GPT-5.6 Luna will take on this role, replacing GPT-5.5 Instant, which has held this function since May.

Additionally, Free and Go accounts will receive a new button called 'think'. OpenAI clarified that this tool will allow GPT-5.6 Luna to dedicate more time to drafting responses in purely textual conversations, without usage limits, as long as this feature is not combined with other platform functionalities.

The improvements will also benefit subscribers to the Plus and Pro plans. The company reported that GPT-5.6 Sol, its main model, will be updated to enhance daily tasks such as internet research, planning, text writing, advising, and providing quick answers.

For these subscribers, another planned feature is control over the degree of reflection used by the model. This instrument will allow adjustment of the intensity of the processing used in creating responses, following a format that the company describes as similar to the effort menu found in Claude, developed by Anthropic.

Justifying the decision, OpenAI emphasized that the removal of the limit constitutes progress in expanding access to the most current versions of its models. In a statement, the company declared: 'This is a concrete step towards more abundant intelligence: making our latest models more widely available, improving the usefulness and reliability of the answers people receive, and allowing free users to have unlimited text conversations,' according to OpenAI.

The company also linked this novelty to the potential to expand the platform's applications. OpenAI highlighted: 'Access shapes opportunities, and this update gives more people the ability to keep asking, developing an idea, and getting help when they need it.'

This decision draws attention because usage limits often mirror the operational costs of AI models. Although the company has not detailed how it managed to eliminate this restriction in text conversations, the measure may signal advances in reducing these costs.

Another aspect mentioned by OpenAI is the context of greater competition in the sector. The company pointed out that the expansion of access to models occurs during a period of pressure generated by the advancement of low-cost, open-source Chinese systems, which accentuates the dispute between artificial intelligence developers.

WhatsApp will stop being compatible with old phones from specific dates

WhatsApp will implement operational restrictions on older mobile devices. For Android devices, the application will stop operating on some old versions starting September 8, 2026, mandating Android 6.0 or a later version to remain active.

This change will also affect iPhone users, who will have a new minimum operating system requirement in November. Users still relying on devices running Android 5.0 or 5.1 risk losing access to WhatsApp after these criteria are updated.

According to WhatsApp's Help Center, starting September 8, 2026, the application will only be compatible with Android 6 and newer versions. If the device cannot receive a more recent system update, it may stop working on the stipulated date.

The decision to limit support is directly related to the continuous evolution of the application, including the addition of new features, bug fixes, and the implementation of security improvements, which require technologies that obsolete devices do not support.

WhatsApp mentioned that it conducts periodic evaluations of older Android and iOS systems, considering the number of users on each version before determining which will remain supported. Keeping very outdated devices on the support list can also compromise the application of crucial security updates, exposing users to potential risks.

iPhone owners should also pay attention, as starting November 30, 2026, WhatsApp will only work on devices using iOS 15.5 or later versions.

Meta has not provided an official list of models that will be discontinued from support. The recommendation given is for users to check the installed system version on their phones and look for available updates.

For those who use WhatsApp daily, checking this information in advance can prevent urgent situations. If the phone is not compatible, there will be enough time to plan the replacement of the device or the migration of the account with greater peace of mind. This update follows a common pattern among popular applications: focusing support on more recent operating systems, which are capable of receiving innovations and security enhancements.
