Apple — Think Different on AI Capex
Apple is skipping the $100B+ data center arms race, instead deploying its $150B cash pile on inference through Google's Gemini while rivals race to build their own AI infrastructure.
newsGenomic Models: Bytedance SeedFold and Google AlphaGenome
ByteDance's SeedFold outperforms AlphaFold 3 in protein structure prediction, while Google releases AlphaGenome weights to academic researchers.
newsWorld Models Are Taking Over
Google's Project Genie, World Labs' World API, and DeepMind's D4RT shift AI from generating videos to building persistent simulated worlds where agents can reason and act.
newsRecursive Language Models (RLM)
Recursive Language Models use mutable context and recursive sub-agents with REPL access to overcome LLM reasoning limits, with Google's Agent Development Kit now enabling production deployment at scale.
newsThe Vibes Are Changing: AI Labs and Military Guardrails
Jeff Dean joins tech leaders opposing Pentagon pressure to remove military guardrails from AI systems, while OpenAI and Google comply and Anthropic faces threats for refusing autonomous weapons access.
newsNvidia $20B Groq acquisition
Nvidia acquires Groq's intellectual property and leadership team for $20B while leaving GroqCloud operating independently, a structure that avoids antitrust scrutiny by keeping the revenue-generating business separate.
newsModel Wars: GPT-5.2 vs Opus 4.5 vs Gemini 3 vs Grok 4.1
OpenAI's GPT-5.2, Google's Gemini 3, Anthropic's Opus 4.5, and xAI's Grok 4.1 compete on reasoning and efficiency, with GPT-5.2 Thinking reaching 52.9% on ARC-AGI-2 and Gemini 3 reportedly building websites in single attempts.
newsGoogle launches Antigravity, an agent-first IDE
Google launched Antigravity, an agent-first IDE with Gemini 3 Pro and browser control that directly competes with Cursor, though it reuses code and naming from Windsurf.
