In 2025 as new updates and improvements take over the field of AI, the ranking of these AI platforms will have to shift. We look at the 20 best artificial intelligence platforms for 2025, and why we think they deserve to be on the list.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) isn't just another API standard, it's a wire protocol that enforces consistency. It allows developers to test, sanitize inputs, and handle errors in actual code and not just hope that the model formats requests correctly. MCP agents query capabilities dynamically and adapt automatically while running as a local process.
Stanford just dropped an opensource LLM inference engine, Tokasaurus, built specifically for scenarios where you need maximum throughput rather than low latency. Think processing entire codebases, sampling 1000s of model outputs for experiments, or generating massive synthetic training data - workloads where completing your entire batch quickly matters more than getting individual responses fast.
Most no-code agent builders are just workflow automation with LLM calls sprinkled in, but Agent Flow changes that. Built using Composio and LangGraph, Agent Flow lets you create true AI agents with dynamic routing, complex tool orchestration, and support for any model through a visual drag-and-drop interface.
56% of workers say scheduling a meeting is the only way to get information. With Jira, use AI to automatically add work from Slack, create subtasks, or attach relevant resources. So instead of scheduling a meeting, check the status in Jira. Easy.

A new Apple study shows reasoning models break down fast when puzzle complexity increases. This raises serious questions about current AI hype. Apple tested LLMs on logic puzzles with rising difficulty. Models gave up when problems got too complex, even with solutions. Study questions whether today’s AI can really “reason”.
Microsoft and Asus have been working together over the past year to create two new ROG Xbox Ally handhelds. The white ROG Xbox Ally ships with AMD's Ryzen Z2 A processor and the ROG Ally X adds a better AMD processor and impulse triggers.
Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) has introduced RoboBrain 2.0, an advanced open-source AI model designed to speed up the development of humanoid robots. It is now considered the most powerful open-source AI for robots in the world.ucation by embedding its artificial intelligence tools in every facet of campus life.
With car insurance premiums projected to reach a record $2,101 annually in 2025, it's more important than ever to make sure you're not overpaying. In fact, switching car insurance providers could save drivers over $1,300 a year, according to a 2024 survey.
