AutoDocs roll out!

Eat more meat if you want to live forever. There's a reason it's called "vitamin bacon". 😏

So, while I generally find this sort of thing Cringe Peak Capitalism, a couple things stood out:

>The moment you add a product to your cart, it gets to work in the background — finding deals and *price drops*, giving you insights on price history and alerting you when an item is back in stock. It all runs on our Gemini models, so your cart gets even smarter as the models improve.

This will automate deflation, so that's good.

>Universal Cart also uses intelligent reasoning to anticipate your needs and help solve problems before they arise. Say you’re building your first custom PC and add a few parts from several retailers to your cart. *Your cart will proactively flag any product incompatibilities and suggest alternatives*. Since the cart was built on Google Wallet, it understands your payment method perks, loyalty information and merchant offers so it can help you choose. This lets you quickly find opportunities for hidden savings or points without having to remember them yourself.

In the long run this increases transparency and quality - fewer scams, higher quality standards, etc.

When combined with the first, this will result in a very high standard of living for everyone.

For centuries, the scientific method has been the greatest engine of human progress. At Google, our mission is deeply rooted in building tools to accelerate it. We believe that a new era of discovery won’t come from narrow, specialized models, but general agents that empower researchers across every scientific field.

That’s why we are introducing Gemini for Science, a collection of science tools and experiments designed to expand the scale and precision of scientific exploration.

In a few short years, we’ve gone from easily identifying AI content that featured superfluous fingers to images and videos that look shockingly realistic. How can we know what’s real in the age of AI? Google’s answer is SynthID, which it first demonstrated three years ago. The company says SynthID has since been used to label 100 billion images and videos, plus 60,000 years’ worth of audio. Those numbers are only going up now that SynthID is expanding beyond Google.

Menlo Research’s Asimov kit offers 25 degrees of freedom and modular design for university labs and advanced makers

Processor-in-the-Loop simulation adds realistic hardware flaws for seamless deployment

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a magnetic switching device that can operate at speeds up to 1,000 times faster than the fastest AI accelerators on the market today, but uses only a fraction of the energy and generating minimal heat. The new invention could potentially solve the problem of overheating and battery drain in electronics, paving the way for super-efficient computers and smartphones.

Aww yisss, the legend returns. 😁

Agentic AI is changing the way users get work done. Following the success of OpenClaw, the community is embracing new open source agentic frameworks. The latest is Hermes Agent, which crossed 140,000 GitHub stars in under three months and, as of last week, is the most used agent in the world according to OpenRouter.

Developed by Nous Research, Hermes is designed for reliability and self-improvement — two qualities that have historically been hard to achieve with agents. It’s provider- and model-agnostic by design, and optimized for always-on local use, making NVIDIA RTX PCs, NVIDIA RTX PRO workstations and NVIDIA DGX Spark the ideal hardware to run it at full speed, around the clock.

Qwen 3.6, a new series of high-performance, open weight large language models (LLMs) from Alibaba, are ideal for running local agents like Hermes. The Qwen 3.6 27B and 35B parameter models are outperforming their previous-generation 120B and 400B parameter model counterparts and run on NVIDIA RTX and DGX Spark for accelerated agentic AI.

While Psyche uses solar arrays to power a xenon-fueled ion engine, NASA’s new lithium-fed MPD thruster is designed to be part of a nuclear electric propulsion system. Ultimately, the space agency thinks this experimental combination could provide the power necessary for shorter transit times, enabling crewed missions to Mars.

Unlike traditional ion thrusters, which use electrostatic fields to accelerate individual ions, or charged atoms (typically in the form of xenon) out through a nozzle, MPD engines combine high currents with a magnetic field to electromagnetically accelerate lithium plasma. To be precise, NASA’s new model runs on lithium metal vapor.

Posting not for the trailer itself, but for the absolutely unhinged anti comments in the comment section.
