A new study from the University of Maryland and Microsoft found that artificial intelligence interprets Polish commands better than any other language. English, surprisingly, finished only in sixth place. Researchers tested 26 languages across major AI models, including those from OpenAI, Google Gemini, Qwen, Llama, and DeepSeek. “Our results were unexpected,” the researchers wrote. “English did not dominate performance as assumed. When handling longer texts, it placed sixth, while Polish ranked first overall.” AI Excels in a Language Humans Find Complex Polish achieved an impressive 88% accuracy rate in task completion, marking it as the most effective language for AI…

Enzo Maresca tore into Liam Delap after Chelsea’s chaotic 4-3 Carabao Cup win over Wolves, calling the striker’s late dismissal “very stupid” and warning his young team to “grow up.” Chelsea looked in cruise control after first-half goals from Andrey Santos, Tyrique George, and Estêvão put them 3-0 up, but a second-half collapse nearly saw Wolves pull off an unlikely comeback. Delap, returning from injury, was sent off just 20 minutes after coming on, picking up two yellow cards in seven minutes for reckless fouls. “After the first yellow I told him to keep calm,” Maresca said. “But he doesn’t…

Surging demand for iPhones lifted Apple’s revenue during the three months ending in September, helping the company close its fiscal year with record profits.
