Deals Abound for Headphones, Art Books, and AI Models
In a flurry of tech and entertainment news, consumers can find significant savings on noise-canceling headphones, a popular art book, and cutting-edge AI models. Deals on headphones and the art book are time-sensitive, while the AI model offers a significant price-performance breakthrough.
According to The Verge, Sony's WH-1000XM6 noise-canceling headphones are currently on sale for $368 (a $92 discount) at Amazon in black or gray. This deal, highlighted by Sheena Vasani, is only available for a few more hours, ending around 10:50 PM ET. Also, according to The Verge, the "Metroid Prime 13: A Visual Retrospective" art book is nearly 20 percent off.
For those seeking premium audio experiences, Wired reported that the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 wireless headphones are marked down to $399 on Amazon, a $50 savings. This deal applies to both black and driftwood sand colors. "Bose is known for incredible active noise canceling," noted the publication, adding that the latest generation of QuietComfort over-ear headphones is no different.
In the realm of artificial intelligence, Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 4.6, a model that VentureBeat described as a "seismic repricing event" for the AI industry. The model delivers near-flagship intelligence at a mid-tier cost, according to Michael Nuñez at VentureBeat. The pricing remains steady at $315 per million tokens, the same as its predecessor, Sonnet 4.5. The model features a 1M token context window in beta and is now the default model in claude.ai and Claude Cowork.
VentureBeat also reported on Qodo 2.1, an AI code review startup, which launched what it calls the industry's first intelligent Rules System for AI governance. This framework gives AI code reviewers persistent, organizational memory, addressing the "amnesia" problem common in AI-powered coding tools. The new system, announced as part of Qodo 2.1, replaces the temporary nature of most LLM chat sessions, providing a more robust solution for developers.
