    Grok Bot 0.68.1 adds slide decks, email drafts, and faster computer use

    AIxAI's Grok Bot 0.68.1 lets bots build slide decks delivered as PowerPoint or Google Slides and send formatted emails directly from a draft card. The update also gives 1:1 chat messages the color of the Bot and speeds up computer use on a 1920x1200 screen.

    Agentic AI workloads are about 80% CPU-bound, AMD and mimik find

    AIRecent mimik tests of agentic workflows on AMD Ryzen AI Embedded X100 processors found about 80% of operations were CPU-bound, covering coordination, orchestration, scheduling and reporting. The post argues that CPUs play a major role in agentic AI rather than GPUs alone, and that heterogeneous compute matters for deploying it at the edge. A full interview with mimik founder and CEO Fayarjomandi is linked.

    Gary Marcus says OpenAI's math result tells us almost nothing yet

    AIGary Marcus says OpenAI's new math result is not the real news, because its report omits the procedure, the model architecture, and the failure rate. He argues that without these details, nobody can tell whether the system generalizes beyond math or only exploits Lean and synthetic data in a verifiable domain. The post includes a companion section by Terence Tao, whose take is not shown in the provided text.

    Higgsfield launches tool for building custom AI influencer characters

    AIHiggsfield has updated its AI influencer tool, letting users insert their own AI-created characters into existing videos. The characters look realistic but deliberately unhuman, with geometric haircuts and elongated necks, as a spokesperson said a flawless face reads as generic AI. The company, which says it has 30 million users, recently announced a $1 billion run rate.

    Liquid AI's Open d1 models run on NVIDIA hardware with llama.cpp support

    AILiquid AI's Open d1 models run across NVIDIA DGX, RTX, and Jetson hardware, with day-one llama.cpp support for deployment anywhere. Measured one request at a time, the d1-3B model's single-question latency is 8 ms on an NVIDIA RTX 4090, 16 ms on Jetson AGX Thor, 26 ms on Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB, and 50 ms on Jetson Orin Nano.

    Liquid AI shows d1-3B running 10 live-camera demos, one forward pass per frame

    AILiquid AI built 10 live-camera demos for its d1-3B model, ranging from gesture-controlled games to content moderation, each using one forward pass per frame. In collaboration with NVIDIA Robotics, the company also showed d1-3B navigating an environment in Isaac Sim, served on a Jetson in a hardware-in-the-loop setup.

    Liquid AI releases d1-omni-600M, a 600M multimodal model for on-device tasks.

    AILiquid AI has released d1-omni-600M, an experimental 600M-parameter model that handles text plus image or audio input. It combines LFM2.5-Encoder-350M with vision and audio encoders and leads the company's text benchmark comparison on toxicity detection and paraphrase identification. The post suggests uses such as voice-command routing, on-device moderation, and intent classification.

    OpenAI's Navier-Stokes progress marks a decade of math advances in a week

    AIMark Chen says the Navier-Stokes achievement matters more for the figure it shows than for the problem itself, representing a decade of mathematical progress in a single week. He says he is eager to apply these tools to life sciences, the building of OpenAI's next models, and alignment research.

    Google's Project Suncatcher tests TPUs in orbit on a satellite

    AIGoogle launched its first test satellite carrying four TPUs into orbit last week as part of Project Suncatcher, a moonshot exploring whether machine learning infrastructure could one day operate in space. The test aims to determine whether Google's AI hardware can withstand the physical stress of spaceflight and the radiation and thermal extremes of orbit.

    Google explains eager vs. lazy loading of MCP tools in Agent Plugins

    AIGoogle DevRel's James O'Reilly explains how Antigravity Agent Plugins expose local MCP server tools to the model, either eagerly as top-level functions or lazily through a call_mcp_tool proxy. Eager loading, set via "eager": true in mcp_config.json, avoids the discovery turn but adds fixed per-turn token overhead that can degrade reasoning with 100+ tools. Lazy loading is the plugin default and keeps baseline token use low, at the cost of an extra proxy hop and a higher chance of JSON quoting errors.

Developers can request narrow API scopes such as sql:restricted-query, which allows only read-only SQL queries, while apps keep a dedicated service principal for app-owned operations.

    Perplexity open-sources pplx-embed-v2-late multimodal embedding models

    AIPerplexity is open-sourcing pplx-embed-v2-late, multi-vector embedding models for text and images in one shared space, in 9B and 0.6B sizes. The 9B model can index multimodal data, the 0.6B model can run queries on device, and PDF pages can be searched without OCR. The author reports 92.4% on MADQA and 64% on BrowseComp+, with weights available on Hugging Face.

    Why it matters: Two open-weight multi-vector models share one space for text and images, with a 0.6B on-device option, a useful comparison for building multimodal retrieval.
