  • Xiaomi's EV Push Puts Tesla on Notice as Xiaomi Expands Beyond Smartphones
    October 29, 2025, 1:26 PM EDT. Chinese tech giant Xiaomi is emerging as a serious rival to Tesla in the global EV race. After gaining traction in China with the SU7 and the fast-selling YU7, Xiaomi undercuts Model Y on price and claims a longer CLTC range (835 km vs. 719 km for Tesla). Its aggressive pricing, higher claimed range, and a deeply integrated human-vehicle-home ecosystem help it build a sticky customer base across hundreds of millions of users. Q2 and July 2025 deliveries surpassed 300,000 units by July, signaling solid momentum. In China's vast charging network (~16.7 million points), buyers still prioritize range and pricing over Tesla's global charging footprint and autonomous tech. If momentum persists, the EV landscape could tilt toward ecosystem-powered competition.

  • Grammarly Rebrands as Superhuman, Unveiling an AI-Powered Productivity Suite
    October 29, 2025, 1:18 PM EDT. Grammarly is rebranding as Superhuman to expand from writing assistance into a full AI productivity platform. The new brand unifies Grammarly's writing tools with Coda's collaboration and Superhuman Mail's inbox, and adds Superhuman Go, an AI assistant that can act across 100+ apps like Google Workspace, Outlook, Jira, and Confluence. Go uses modular 'agents' to summarize, retrieve data, or file tasks, aiming to reduce friction and work more seamlessly with users' existing workflows. Superhuman plans an Agent Store with built-in and partner AI agents and an SDK to invite third-party developers. The shift signals a move toward an AI-native, background-enabled experience that amplifies human capability rather than forcing adaptation.
