Google wants you to type your messiest, typo-riddled questions straight into its AI Mode... The company is rolling its new Gemini 4 Hydrogen model into Search, calling it its "biggest model improvement to Search yet." Hydrogen reportedly runs 2.5 times faster than Gemini 3.8 Flash, handles multi-part questions better, and brings more images, comparison tables and custom tools to your answers.
How AI-Era Pricing Is Reshaping Finance Operations
Usage-based and hybrid pricing models are changing how B2B companies generate revenue — and creating new headaches for the finance teams behind them.
Tabs co-founder Rebecca Schwartz and PwC Partner Amit Dhir sat down to unpack exactly what that means in practice: how pricing model decisions ripple into revenue recognition, forecasting, and financial ops — and what it takes to scale without piling on manual work.
Watch the on-demand recording to get practical frameworks, real-world examples, and a clear path to operationalizing usage-based revenue — including a forward-looking take on how AI will reshape financial workflows. If your team is navigating pricing complexity heading into the back half of the year, this is worth an hour.
LLM evaluation tools help teams measure how a model performs across various tasks, including reasoning, summarization, retrieval, coding, and instruction-following. They analyze performance trends, detect hallucinations, validate outputs against ground truth, and benchmark improvements during fine-tuning or prompt engineering
The cloud giant just shipped AWS Emulator, a local stand-in for over 200 of its services. Coding agents write code faster than teams can test it, and checking every change against the real cloud adds delays and costs. Now you and your agents can run that test loop offline without paying for the cloud. Fittingly, autonomous agents wrote the entire emulator.

This guide breaks down the prompting tweaks that matter most for the new model. You’ll learn how to tune effort, stop long tasks from ending early, keep approvals and subagents under control, and update older prompts or harness rules that can now make Fable slower, costlier, or more cautious than it needs to be.
This tutorial shows how to use T3 Code as a control room for all your coding agents. You’ll learn how to switch between models and accounts, hand context across threads, use worktrees and skills, and manage multiple agent workflows without living in five different terminals.

AI News:
Three days after Nvidia opened an investigation into Jensen Huang, its founder is out... Huang resigned as Nvidia's CEO just days after admitting to an affair with an alleged Chinese spy, and the board accepted it on Wednesday. CFO Colette Kress steps in as interim CEO while the company hunts for a permanent successor. Since Friday, Nvidia has lost more than $855Bn in market value.

Google opened pre-orders for its first Gemini-powered AI smart glasses, 18 months after announcing them at I/O 2025, with frames from Warby Parker and Gentle Monster starting at $395 in a direct challenge to Meta’s Ray-Bans. Built with Samsung, the nine styles pack a 12MP camera, open-ear speakers, and up to nine hours of battery into 41-gram frames, with no display in the lenses.

The fitness band maker launched Whoop Humans, a free in-app social network where members can follow friends and choose to share their sleep, recovery and workout data. Followers can react and comment. CEO Will Ahmed says it's all opt-in, and he hinted at acquisitions as Whoop pushes deeper into medical wellness
If your inbox looked suspiciously quiet today, blame Microsoft... Outlook, Teams and Microsoft 365 went down shortly before 1 p.m. ET, with Downdetector showing thousands of affected users in North America. Microsoft blamed elevated load and a rise in unavailable servers, which it reportedly restarted. Amazon Web Services and Google users also reported problems on Downdetector, so it was a rough day for the cloud.
Notion just learned the hard way that your vendor's security is your security... Hackers breached Fireworks AI's cloud provider and swiped customer billing info and datasets, including chat transcripts from Notion AI users of its "Insights" feature. Notion says around 1% of its customers were affected, and it cut ties with Fireworks on November 3. It's Fireworks' second breach in as many months.

How to Create Your Own Instagram Stories Effects
Effect Builder turns written descriptions into custom visual effects that people can apply to their Instagram Stories.
Go to https://edits.com/effectbuilder and enter a prompt describing the effect you want to create. For example:
Create a warm vintage film effect with subtle grain, faded colors, and a soft nostalgic look.
There’s also an option to have Instagram’s AI rewrite your prompt.
Then you can upload your own photos to preview the AI-generated effect, and ask for changes in follow-up prompts until you’re happy with the result.
Finally, you can submit your effect to Instagram directly from Effect Builder. It must pass a safety review before it becomes available to other users.
Once an effect is approved, it “shows up in Instagram Stories for anyone to use.” Your Instagram handle will appear on it, so viewers can tap through to your profile. People who see the effect can tap “Try it” to use it too.
