A US start-up has invented a new fingerprint-reading doorlock using a fund of more than $30,000.

The BrillLock smart lock has a simple design and few components which makes it very easy to install unlike the other smart locks currently available in the market.

According to the TechHive website, the new unit is powered by a lithium-ion battery, which is recharged via a customized port on the handle.

The company claims the batteries will last for 3,000 entries between charges.

The unit's system can store up to 10 total fingerprints, with two admin fingerprints responsible of making settings adjustments.

The new smart lock is currently available in stores for $75.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has hired three OpenAI researchers to join his "superintelligence" team, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, days after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman accused the Facebook owner of trying to poach its employees.

An OpenAI spokesperson confirmed the departure of the three employees from the company, without giving further details. Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours.

Meta hired Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov and Xiaohua Zhai, who were all working at the ChatGPT-owner's Zurich office, the WSJ reported, citing sources.

Last week, Altman said Meta had offered his employees bonuses of $100 million to recruit them.

Once recognized as a leader in open-source AI models, Meta has suffered from staff departures and postponed launches of new open-source AI models that could rival competing models from Google, OpenAI, and China's DeepSeek.

"I've heard that Meta thinks of us as their biggest competitor," Altman had said.

Meta recently hired 28-year-old Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang to work on its "superintelligence" efforts. The company also took a 49% stake for $14.3 billion in Scale AI.

Meta is now trying to paint a turnaround as reports suggest Zuckerberg is setting up a team of experts to achieve so-called "artificial general intelligence" (AGI).
