AIThe feature I needed most has been taken by Claude first! This makes Gemini's useless integration look embarrassing 😂 Claude can now work directly inside Google Doc, Sheet, and Slide…

AIOpenAI is releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model. The company says it consulted the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study and drew on its advice and public recommendations for how the results are released. The results are available at

AILauren Tan notes that Grok Bot, which she often discusses in Slack, can also be added to Microsoft Teams. The post links to an x.ai bot plugin page for the integration.

AITeknium announced Hermes Index, which combines scores from the new HermesBench and three other agent benchmarks. The index aims to help Hermes Agent users find the best model at a given time and at a given price point. It was introduced by Nous Research as a way to inform model choice and show labs their performance in Hermes.

AIThe source provides only a title, a source label, and a comments link, with no body text describing the AI mathematics progress. Specific models, results, and benchmarks cannot be verified from the material provided.

AIClaude Opus 5.5 leads the benchmark with a score of 63.31 at $4.99 per task, ahead of GPT 6 Astra at 56.25 ($11.61) and Sonnet 5.5 at 53.14 ($2.82). At the low end, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash scores 36.91 at $0.26, and Ling 3.0 Flash scores 21.56 at $0.054.

AINous Research's Hermes Bench runs every model through the same harness, with reasoning set high where offered. The index reports each model's mean score and mean cost per task across four suites.

AINous Research says its evaluation uses an index of four benchmarks, including its newly introduced Hermes Bench. The other three are Terminal-Bench 4.0, Terminal-Bench-Science, and SkillsBench.

AINous Research has introduced Hermes Index, an average of benchmarks that measures model performance within Hermes Agent. The index aims to help users choose between models and show AI labs how their models perform in Hermes.

AIPenguin Mail 1.0.5 is a free, GPL-3.0-or-later Rust email and calendar client for x86_64 Linux that handles Gmail, Microsoft, IMAP and POP3 accounts in one inbox. It uses GnuPG for OpenPGP and S/MIME, and its assistant is off until a user picks a model, which can run locally through LM Studio or Ollama.

AIMistral Large 4 is now available in OpenCode. The post says there is a 50% discount for the next two weeks.

AIOpenAI has released its Decisions API in public beta, using GPT-6 Luna to classify text and images, route requests, and score inputs. It is reported to run about 10× faster than the Responses API, starting at $0.10 per million input tokens with no output or cache charges.

AIGitHub reports that Git events on the platform rose from 218.2 billion to 473.3 billion per month between September 2025 and August 2026. It says agent workloads push write throughput and merge contention beyond what its current replica-based architecture handles well, so it is separating durable storage from compute while GitHub keeps running. The article states internal benchmarks reached up to 35 times higher write throughput.

Why it matters: The post links rising Git event volume to specific architectural bottlenecks, showing why agent workloads strain write paths and how GitHub plans to separate storage from compute.

AIand those files can also open inside Claude. In Google Workspace, Claude appears in a sidebar next to the open file, reads its contents, and edits it in place, with the option to approve each edit before it is applied.

AI@GoogleDeepMind Model page:

AIOllama announced that Google DeepMind's EmbeddingGemma 2 is now available on Ollama. The author describes it as made for consumer devices and multimodal, and gives the command ollama pull embeddinggemma-2 to download it. The quoted DeepMind post says the model is a natively multimodal open model for on-device embeddings that unifies code, images, audio, and video in a shared space.

AIfal announced that Google's Nano Banana 2.1 is available today on its platform for both text-to-image generation and image editing. The post links separate pages for each mode but gives no benchmark, pricing, or capability details.

AIFireworks' Head of AI Developer Education fine-tuned a 9B Jev-style classifier on Fireworks using plain SFT, public datasets, and two simple tricks. The full recipe is open source so developers can train their own decision classifiers without a frontier lab budget.

AIReplit can now use context across your projects to flag existing projects that match a new idea before you spin up a duplicate. Users add a custom instructions skill to their workspace to enable the check, which targets duplicate work and project sprawl.

AIEthan Mollick urges AI labs to confirm that the models they ship understand their own products and how to use them. He adds that this knowledge should be updated whenever new features are released, noting it is odd when an AI knows everything about using a computer except its own app.

AIThariq (@trq212), who works at Anthropic, notes a technical challenge: if Claude can only reach your files while your computer is online, Claude may be stuck until the machine is back on. He suggests some kind of sync could help, but says it introduces edge cases that are hard to solve.

AIAnthropic's Thariq says Claude will increasingly use cloud-based "brains" while operating on users' computers through "local hands." He points to a Latent Space podcast discussion on how this is being implemented in Claude Code.

AITibo (@thsottiaux) posted that there are four updates or a reset, or possibly both, and asked how day two went. The post gives no details on what the updates or reset involve.

AIGoogle describes new research intended to help researchers and public health officials complement existing health information and bridge reporting gaps. The stated goal is to address health challenges proactively. The post provides no further details on the specific research, methods, or results.

AIDuring the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, WHO AFRO partnered with Google Earth AI to find transmission blind spots faster. Using Google's Geospatial Reasoning agent prototype, the team identified 48 exposed settlements and more than 45,500 at-risk people in minutes, a process that normally would take weeks.

AIGoogle Earth AI combines environmental signals and other data sources with AlphaEarth Foundations, a Population Dynamics Foundation Model (PDFM), and a prototype Geospatial Reasoning agent. Researchers ask questions such as where a disease is likely to spread next, and the system automatically gathers relevant models and datasets to build a prediction model. By combining satellite views with population patterns, the tool aims to reveal hidden risk factors and identify issues earlier.

AIGoogle Earth AI, according to new research, can help communities respond to public health crises more quickly and proactively. The post says it combines behavioral trends, geospatial AI models, and other insights beyond simple statistics to help public health teams understand complex issues and bridge reporting gaps. The aim is to shift emergency response from reactive management toward proactive prevention.

AIBoston Dynamics has named Rohit Prasad, formerly senior vice president and head scientist for Alexa and artificial general intelligence at Amazon, as its new CEO, effective tomorrow. He succeeds interim CEO Amanda McMaster, the company's CFO, who took over after Robert Playter stepped down in February. Boston Dynamics said Prasad's appointment accelerates its physical AI strategy, combining robotics with advanced AI to commercialize intelligent machines at scale.

AIZyphra trained its ZAYA1-8B reasoning model from scratch on a full-stack AMD platform, according to AMD's post. VP of AI Engineering Quentin Anthony credits access to open software libraries and direct collaboration with AMD for enabling bigger model training and efficient compute use.

AIMicrosoft has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Global Industrial AIoT Platforms.

AIThe Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center's Lincoln AI Computing Survey (LAICS) has been comparing commercial AI accelerators by peak performance and peak power since 2018. The latest paper covers more than 120 accelerators, up from 57 in the first, with data drawn from public sources. The team says five to 10 new AI accelerator startups emerge each year, and six have announced their first accelerators in recent months.

AIOpenAI's Decisions API is now live, letting developers choose the right model, tool, or action in near real-time, and is available to all developers in public beta. The API makes decisions up to 10x faster than GPT-6 Luna through the Responses API. The post also says OpenAI will use the API internally to improve the experience for everyone.

AIOpenAI will automatically watermark text generated by ChatGPT in the European Union, with the feature offered but off by default in other regions. The move responds to the EU AI Act, which took effect in August and requires AI-generated content to be detectable by other tools. The watermark, called textGrain, embeds patterns in word choice, and OpenAI will share its detector only with a limited group of researchers and organizations, with others able to request access over time.

AIEvery, the company behind Cora, built an internal agent on Claude Managed Agents that its whole team uses in Slack to share skills whenever a new model arrives. After the tool caught on internally, Every released it to its subscribers.

AIOpenAI's Tibo says users can talk through a meeting with a colleague without worrying about memory, then load that context into Codex to complete the work. The quoted ChatGPT Meetings plugin, in beta for Pro and Business macOS desktop users, takes notes and saves summaries and next steps in ChatGPT Space.

AIOpenAI has opened its Decisions API to public beta, letting developers try it now through the company's API documentation. The post links to a Decisions guide in the OpenAI developer docs but gives no further details about what the API does.
