OpenAI has declared a “code red” and is pushing to release a new version of its model called GPT-5.2. It is expected to arrive very soon for users as a fast response to intense competition from Google’s Gemini 3. Better Reasoning and Reliability: Internal tests show GPT-5.2 ahead of Gemini 3 in logic and problem-solving. It aims to respond faster and make fewer mistakes.
The Future of Shopping? AI + Actual Humans.
AI has changed how consumers shop, but people still drive decisions. Levanta’s research shows affiliate and creator content continues to influence conversions, plus it now shapes the product recommendations AI delivers. Affiliate marketing isn’t being replaced by AI, it’s being amplified.
Since 2012, the data scientist’s role has grown by over 650%, and by 2026, there will be 11.5 million jobs in this field. The field has become more lucrative than before, painting an optimistic picture for the jobs in 2021 and beyond.
Multi-vector search approaches are now critical for coding agents and multi-modal applications. MixedBread, Cursor, Parallel AI, and others have enabled coding agents to use this semantic search because it cuts token usage in half, allows agents to finish tasks in half the time, and yields better-quality outputs. I’ve validated the impact on my own commercial codebases and analysis.
At the core of the attention mechanism in LLMs are three matrices: Query, Key, and Value. These matrices are how transformers actually pay attention to different parts of the input. In this write-up, we will go through the construction of these matrices from the ground up…
I’ve been catching up on the topic of memory management for AI agents recently and was overwhelmed by the amount of new terminology and concepts. This blog post serves as my working study notes to collect all the information on memory for agents…

The EU will begin accepting bids in early 2026 for companies to build five new AI gigafactories, backed by a 20 billion euro commitment. Each site is expected to host about 100,000 chips, far more than today’s European facilities, though the chips themselves will mostly come from NVIDIA and other non-EU manufacturers.
Limitless is really living up to its new name. The AI startup formerly known as Rewind has been acquired by Meta for an undisclosed amount. The company, known for its AI-powered pendant to record your conversations, will no longer sell its hardware devices and will maintain support for its existing customers for a year.
SpaceX is prepping for a major launch. Of its IPO, that is. Elon Musk’s space company has reportedly been telling investors to watch the second half of 2026 for a potential IPO with CFO Bret Johnsen lining up a secondary share sale that values the business at about $800 billion, roughly double the price tag buyers agreed to in a tender earlier this year.
China’s EngineAI has introduced the T800, a full-size humanoid robot built for high-intensity movement and marketed as “combat ready.” It stands 5.6 feet tall, weighs 75 kilograms, and uses 29 joints, high-torque motors, active cooling, and an NVIDIA AGX Orin module to perform fast turns and flying kicks. The reveal video offers a telling visual comparison: the T800 is shown meeting EngineAI's previous model, the PM01 (best known for its viral backflips), which appears diminutive beside the new flagship

Build a Full Web Workflow Using AI
Log into Ripplica to create a New Workflow and name your workflow (e.g., “Check Amazon Product Price”)
Add a trigger to choose and schedule when the workflow should start.
Now you can add your first AI action by either recording your screen while you perform the task or by uploading a ready-made video.
Or you can skip the video and write your task as a series of simple steps in natural language that the AI can understand.
Depending on the process, the AI may require additional steps or certain inputs, like logins, to complete the full workflow.
