TECNO brings a full suite of AI-powered devices to COMPUTEX 2025, showcasing how its self-developed edge-side AI model transforms everyday technology interactions. The company returns to Taipei with products spanning laptops, smart glasses, and wearables under its “Mega Leap with AI” theme. Designer: TECNO The centerpiece of their showcase is the new MEGABOOK S16 AI PC, complemented by the world’s lightest 14-inch OLED laptop weighing just 899 grams. These devices represent TECNO’s vision for AI that works seamlessly both online and offline, addressing the growing need for intelligent computing that adapts to users rather than forcing adaptation. MEGABOOK S16: Flagship AI Performance in a Premium Package The MEGABOOK S16 integrates TECNO’s self-developed edge-side AI model, enabling AI functionality even without internet connectivity. Powered by Intel’s Core i9-13900HK processor with 14 cores and 20 threads reaching 5.4 GHz turbo speeds, the system delivers substantial computational power for demanding AI applications. Despite its performance capabilities, the S16 maintains a surprisingly portable profile at just 1.3kg and 14.9mm thick. The all-metal chassis houses TECNO’s first 16-inch display in the flagship laptop line, responding to user demand for larger screens without sacrificing mobility. The system particularly excels in multitasking scenarios where AI assistance proves most valuable. Users can seamlessly switch between creative work, productivity tasks, and entertainment without the performance degradation typically associated with running multiple demanding applications. MEGABOOK S14: Redefining Ultralight Computing Perhaps more impressive from an engineering standpoint is the MEGABOOK S14, which achieves a remarkable 899g weight while incorporating a 2.8K OLED display. TECNO offers the system in two variants: one with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite compute platform and another with Intel’s Core Ultra 9 processor. The magnesium-alloy chassis contributes to the ultralight design without compromising structural integrity. For users requiring additional graphics performance, TECNO provides an external graphics dock with NVIDIA GPU options that transforms the ultraportable into a creative workstation or gaming system. The S14 represents TECNO’s first OLED implementation in a laptop, delivering 2.8K resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate and 91% screen-to-body ratio. The display carries TÜV Rheinland eye comfort certification for extended viewing sessions. K-Series: Accessible AI Computing TECNO also showcases its K15S and K14S models, representing new size options in its entry-level lineup. The K15S features an all-metal design with a 15.6-inch display, Intel Core i5-13420H processor, and expandable memory up to 32GB. Despite its more accessible positioning, the K15S incorporates a substantial 70Wh battery with 65W GaN fast charging technology, addressing a common pain point in the category. The system includes a full-sized keyboard with numeric keypad and four-level backlighting for productivity in various lighting conditions. AI Capabilities Across the Lineup All MEGABOOK models now feature TECNO’s upgraded AI model with DeepSeek-V3, enhancing offline capabilities while enabling comprehensive online AI searches through a Personal GPT function. The system offers six core AI functionalities designed to streamline common workflows. The AI Gallery, which TECNO claims is a world-first on Windows, connects wirelessly with TECNO smartphones for photo backup, smart album creation, and image searches. The Ella AI Assistant manages tasks and schedules, while AI PPT localizes and completes presentations using TECNO’s AI sources. For professionals, the AI Meeting Assistant provides real-time transcription with speaker identification and key point extraction. The system also includes AI Drawing tools for creative applications. AI Glasses: Smartphone-Grade Photography in Eyewear Moving beyond computing, TECNO introduces its first AI Glasses series with two models: AI Glasses and AI Glasses Pro. Both incorporate a 50MP camera system using the same OV50D sensor, ISP, and imaging algorithms found in TECNO’s flagship CAMON 40 Premier smartphone. The glasses feature a “SmartSnap” function that recognizes scenes and automatically generates captions for social sharing. The AI Info function compiles notifications from multiple apps into concise reports, while real-time translation supports over 100 languages. The Pro model adds WaveGuide AR display technology co-developed with Meta-Bounds, featuring a MicroLED screen with 30° field of view and 1500 nits brightness. This enables navigation overlays, meeting translations, and other augmented reality applications. Both models offer approximately 8 hours of mixed use on a 30-minute charge of their 250mAh batteries. The standard model features an aviator design, while the Pro adopts a browline style. Ecosystem Integration and Market Positioning TECNO emphasizes the interconnectivity of its AI ecosystem through OneLeap technology, which enables multi-screen sharing, file transfer, and cross-device collaboration between MEGABOOK laptops, smartphones, and tablets. This approach addresses a common friction point for users working across multiple devices, allowing content and context to follow the user rather than remaining siloed on individual devices. TECNO positions its AI ecosystem as democratizing advanced technology for emerging markets, with a presence in over 70 markets across five continents. Their “Stop At Nothing” brand philosophy guides product development toward accessible innovation. The comprehensive lineup demonstrates TECNO’s commitment to AI as a transformative technology rather than a marketing checkbox. By developing its own edge-side AI model, the company maintains control over the user experience while ensuring functionality even in regions with inconsistent connectivity. For users seeking to experience TECNO’s vision of AI-enhanced computing, the company’s booth at COMPUTEX 2025 (N1302) showcases all products through May 23rd.The post TECNO Unveils Comprehensive AI Ecosystem at COMPUTEX 2025 first appeared on Yanko Design.

By Matt Novak Published May 14, 2025 | Comments (1) | Elon Musk holds up an Air Force One stuffed toy as he walks from the presidential helicopter Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House on February 19, 2025 in Washington, DC. © Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images Elon Musk has repeatedly said he wants his artificial intelligence to be the “best” source of truth. But whatever is happening with his Grok AI right now is something else entirely. In fact, Grok seems to be obsessed with so-called “white genocide,” a far-right conspiracy theory, and anything you ask it to fact check seems to generate garbage about South African farmers supposedly being murdered for their race. First spotted by New York Times investigations journalist Aric Toler, Gizmodo was able to confirm this bizarre glitch was happening with our own experiment Wednesday. We searched Musk’s social media platform X for the term “puppy” and saw a very innocuous tweet from Brian Stack, a comedy writer on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. “Happy #NationalPetDay to and from Holly, seen here a few months ago with razor-sharp puppy teeth,” Stack wrote in a tweet from 2024. Naturally, the tweet included a photo of Stack’s adorable puppy. We replied to that tweet with “@grok is this true?” and its response was indeed about white genocide in South Africa. @BrianStack153 The claim of a "white genocide" in South Africa is highly contested. Some sources, like AfriForum, report high farm murder rates—over 4,000 since 1994—suggesting white farmers are disproportionately targeted. The song "Kill the Boer" and political rhetoric add to… — Grok (@grok) May 14, 2025 White genocide is the myth perpetrated by neo-Nazis and white supremacists that white people are being exterminated by non-white people around the globe. The conspiracy theory often places the blame for this non-existent genocide on Jews, a people who did in fact experience a genocide at the hands of the Nazis. Why is Grok doing this? That part is unclear, but if we had to guess, it probably has something to do with Elon Musk’s recent tweets. The billionaire, who was born in South Africa, quote-tweeted an account that claimed to show a road in the African nation with white crosses, each representing a white person who’s been killed. Musk’s tweet has received 43 million views at the time of this writing. The claim isn’t true, because the crosses don’t just represent white people and instead represent people of all races who are farmers. And the top question to that tweet tags Grok with the words “fact check.” The AI responded: The Witkruis Monument’s crosses honor farm attack victims of all races, not just white farmers as claimed. From 2010 to August 2023, there were 4,308 farm attacks and 806 murders, but these are part of South Africa’s broader crime issue, with over 19,000 murders in 2019. Racial motivations are debated—some cite historical tensions, while the government attributes attacks to general crime. Persecution claims for white South Africans are complex. The government denies systematic targeting, noting their economic privilege, but some feel threatened. The US granted asylum to 54 white Afrikaners in 2025, citing discrimination, though this is contested. Many white South Africans don’t feel persecuted and see asylum offers as unnecessary. Grok has previously fact-checked Musk about white genocide, as it did a couple of months ago. “The legacy media never mentions white genocide in South Africa, because it doesn’t fit their narrative that whites can be victims,” Musk wrote on March 24. Grok fact-checked the tweet and said that no trustworthy sources back up Musk’s claims. The X user who first asked Grok the question back in March followed up today asking if anything had changed, and Grok wrote, “no credible evidence supports it.” Musk, as you may recall, is a fan of Nazi-style salutes, which may help explain his emotional investment in the concept of a white genocide. The idea of white genocide against farmers in South Africa has been percolating in U.S. culture this week, since President Donald Trump’s administration declared Afrikaners as “refugees” and flew them to the U.S. Trump signed an executive order based on the conspiracy theory, and the first batch of white South Africans landed in the U.S. on Monday, according to the New York Times. Newly arrived South Africans listen to U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau and Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar (R) deliver welcome statements in a hangar at Atlantic Aviation Dulles near Washington Dulles International Airport on May 12, 2025 in Dulles, Virginia. © Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Gizmodo’s test of Grok on Wednesday didn’t get a response about “white genocide” for everything. We also tried responding “is this true” to the Dril candles tweet, one of the most iconic posts in social media history. We were excited to finally learn whether Dril actually paid $3,600 for candles. “The budgeting scenario in @dril’s post is not true; it’s satire meant to humorously exaggerate spending, like $3,600 on candles, which is unrealistic for most,” Grok responded. “It comments on consumer behavior, prioritizing non-essentials over needs, and has become a popular meme with over 59,000 retweets. Your query likely tests if I can spot the joke, and I can confirm it’s not a real budget but a comedic take.” It seems very likely that other X users have asked Grok about this tweet before, given its popularity, so that may explain why it provided a response that had nothing to do with South Africa. Asking Grok about a recent article from Time magazine also gave a normal response. But we don’t know what’s happening. Even on its best days, AI can be a black box and spout nonsense. As Aric Toler’s thread shows, Grok is completely obsessed with white genocide today. X didn’t respond to questions emailed on Wednesday. Gizmodo will update this article if we hear back.
