Highlights

• NotebookLM + Gemini brings a 1M-token window, role-configurable goals, and 6× longer conversational memory, while ChatGPT Agent Mode arrives for Plus/Pro/Business users to execute actions directly inside the browser—two “research aides” now read documents very differently.
• CronusVLA, LVLM rebalancing, and ReCon-GS shore up the missing “temporal rhythm” for robots, multimodal models, and video generation.
• The YFQ-44A AI jet’s maiden flight, compute supply crunches, and debates around digitally “reviving” friends reveal how entangled AI and the real world are becoming.

Product / Feature Updates

• NotebookLM × Gemini turns into a configurable research partner with million-token context, persona goals, and vastly longer memory. ChatGPT Agent Mode lets the browser carry out workflows without manual copy/paste.
• Google Logo Builder + Summarizer and other lightweight creative tools show “prompted design” popping up everywhere.

Research Watch

• CronusVLA injects multi-frame memory into vision-language-action models so robots stop going “short-sighted” on dynamic tasks. LVLM rebalance strategies deliberately train tail tasks to fight Matthew effects.
• ReCon-GS plus mathematical explorations (von Neumann algebras, KMS states, etc.) show visual/audio/parallel computing stacks being reframed for explainable, geometry-aware AI.

Industry / Capital

• News about the USAF YFQ-44A autonomous jet, AI datacentre shortages, and the Chris-bot digital afterlife project highlights AI’s reach into security and emotional domains—making governance and ethics urgent.

Open Source / Tools

• computer-science (self-paced CS curriculum), xiaomusic (smart speaker integrations), Copilot CLI, BettaFish (multi-agent sentiment analysis), and chef (AI app scaffolding) provide a full ladder for “using AI to build AI tools.”

Community Signals

• Mathematicians brag GPT-5 drafts proofs in 20 seconds—but still insist on human review. Reddit’s “ChatGPT is just pattern matching” threads remind us to respect model limits.
