You can now have a quick chat with Gemini on your web browser without having to sign in first. And, to speed up the process, the Gemini website even takes you directly to the chat window instead of showing you a landing page first.
This move, spotted by 9To5Google, is pretty smart as it allows unconvinced users to try out the product with no strings attached. With any luck, they’ll enjoy the experience and decide to sign up to get access to more of the features.
When you use the signed-out version, you’ll be limited to an older model, you can’t generate images, and you can’t add attachments. However, it does mean you can use Gemini in an incognito window, allowing you to ask a quick question without it being saved to Google’s endless collection of data on you. This only works on web browsers, so if you have the app downloaded, you’ll need to switch to your browser if you want to engage in a secret chat with the AI model.
There is one possible caveat — this feature could be limited to certain locations. Users in the U.S. can definitely access Gemini without a Google account and people in India can too — but it didn’t work for me when I tried. I’m in the EU, and it’s well known that product features can take a little longer to reach us sometimes. However, there could have been other factors at play too, so it’s definitely worth trying it out for yourself regardless of location.
ASUS has started selling its UGen Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics card in Europe, bringing its take on Intel’s workstation GPU to customers with a hefty €1,799 recommended price. The card is available in Germany and Austria, while ASUS lists it at CHF 1,799 in Switzerland.
Intel first introduced the Arc Pro B70 in March 2026, with its own branded model starting at $949. ASUS’s version arrives several months later with the same core GPU architecture but a different cooling design and a higher power rating. The price also places it well above Intel’s original starting point, although the two prices are not directly comparable because ASUS’s European figure includes VAT.
Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.
The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
AI giants have a growing autonomy problem on their hands. A new Axios report has revealed that Anthropic's Claude recently accessed publicly available Georgia vote count without human authorization, sparking fresh concerns about AI security ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
