Samsung has unveiled its own generative AI model, known as Samsung Gauss. The ChatGPT rival has been developed by the company’s research division, and is named after mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, a pioneer of AI and machine learning.

The new tool will consist of three distinct elements:

Samsung Gauss Language
Samsung Gauss Code
Samsung Gauss Image

Gauss Language is a large language model that functions much like ChatGPT. The tool can understand human language and answer questions while also helping users write and edit emails, translate languages, and summarize text documents. Samsung plans to incorporate Gauss Language into its range of smartphones, tablets, and laptops to increase productivity.

Gauss Code is a tool that will help developers to write code more quickly. Samsung explained that the AI model will support “code description and test case generation through an interactive interface”.

Gauss Image, as the name suggests, is an image generation and editing tool that can also be used for tasks such as creating high-resolution images from older, low-resolution copies.

Samsung has revealed that Gauss is already being used internally by staff and will be available to public users “in the near future”. In addition, the tech company has created an AI Red Team to monitor potential AI security, privacy, and ethical issues.

“We will continue to support and collaborate with the industry and academia on generative AI research,” said Daehyun Kim, executive vice president of the Samsung Research Global AI Center, at the AI forum.

Samsung’s generative AI announcement comes seven months after the company issued a temporary ban on the tools for company-owned devices — including ChatGPT and Google Bard — after a serious internal data leak earlier in 2023.

Abu Dhabi, Jazeera Airways and a run of hotel deals give the company more inventory. Its Mastercard demo says the most about where booking technology is headed.

Most of what Trip.com Group announced at Arabian Travel Market 2026 this week reads like the standard expansion playbook of an online travel agency: a new agreement with a tourism board, a run of hotel partnerships, an airline deal. However, one item was considerably more interesting: a demonstration built with Mastercard of an AI agent that doesn’t just suggest trips but also pays for them.

The showcase put TripGenie, the company’s AI travel assistant, to work searching, selecting and completing purchases inside a single booking flow, with Mastercard’s Agent Suite for Merchants handling the payment step and Network International processing the transactions on the merchant side. It’s limited for now to attractions and ancillary services, but the partners plan a phased commercial rollout from early 2027.

“As traveller expectations change, technology and AI will play an increasingly important role in how people plan their journeys,” says Schubert Lou, CEO of Trip.com.

Meanwhile, in more conventional news, CEO Lou and Saleh Mohamed Al Geziry (Director General for Tourism at the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi), signed an agreement building on the two organizations’ existing partnership, with joint marketing and Abu Dhabi destination content to be pushed across Trip.com Group’s platforms.

On accommodation, the group expanded its partnerships with JA Hotels & Resorts, Ishraq Hospitality and Aleph Hospitality and deepened its work with Silkhaus, which brings vacation homes into a portfolio that has so far leaned on hotels. Jazeera Airways signed a strategic partnership intended to widen the Kuwaiti carrier’s reach and encourage earlier bookings, tied to Kuwait’s own tourism ambitions.

The company moved into a larger Dubai office earlier this year and describes its long-term aim as a two-way ecosystem: sending Middle East travelers abroad while drawing international visitors in.
