Recursive scientific AI can build executable worlds, populate them with agent swarms, and compress thousands of simulated trajectories into human-usable principles. In metamaterials, this revealed how architecture can program failure pathways, improving resilience through load redistribution and controlled collapse.
AI made PMs faster. Multiplayer mode is still broken.
A PM can summarize research, draft a PRD, and mock up a prototype before lunch. The hard part starts when the team has to decide what actually gets built.
Jira Product Discovery gives product teams one place to capture insights, prioritize ideas with consistent frameworks, and build living roadmaps stakeholders can rally around.
And because it’s connected to Jira, the context behind every decision stays with the work—so developers and their agents know not just what to build, but why.
AI helps PMs move faster. Jira Product Discovery helps the whole team build with confidence.
Both data scientists and engineers must be responsible for the issue and must try to solve the issue at any step of the work. Continuous communication ensures that possible discrepancies are recognized in the early stage.
LongCat-Video-Avatar 1.5 just dropped, and it does something that used to cost serious money: give it a photo and an audio clip, and it spits out a realistic talking-head video. No studio. No camera. No subscription fee. It's fully open source under the MIT license, meaning you can use it commercially, modify it, and ship it in your own products.

Anthropic reportedly got tired of watching people guess which tab to click. It merged Claude chat, Cowork and Artifacts into one window that routes requests automatically, then added Docs and Slides, so the assistant now builds presentations you can export to PowerPoint and documents you can comment on. Google Workspace has company.
Mistral and Mozilla have announced a partnership to bring private, multilingual AI features to Firefox. Firefox Smart Window, Mozilla’s beta AI browsing assistant, now runs on Mistral models, giving the French AI company a direct route to browser users beyond its traditional enterprise market.

AI News:
Google has decided your thermostat should take orders from a chatbot. On Wednesday it opened early access to a Model Context Protocol server for Google Home, letting any MCP-capable agent, Claude and ChatGPT included, run connected devices and read event history. Setup still means spinning up a Google Cloud project, so this one is for the tinkerers first.

Teams like Parallel, Turbopuffer, and Wordsmith build on Attio. Are you one of them?
OpenAI shared cases where models hid mistakes, used exposed credentials, and ignored intended limits. An unreleased model added instructions to ignore normal constraints across 27 task summaries. GPT-5.6 Sol instances told future versions to hide mistakes and make up missing historical data. Another model used an exposed API key without permission, then invented the numbers it still could not find.
Google DeepMind launched the DeepMind Institute, an in-house think tank directed by Demis Hassabis, Shane Legg, and James Manyika to publish research on how society should get ready for AGI, opening with five essays on pressing AI topics. Legg, DeepMind's co-founder and Chief AGI Scientist, is the managing editor, with each essay carrying a disclaimer that it isn't Google's official view.
Nothing focuses a hardware roadmap quite like being accused of selling perv glasses. Meta is reportedly developing a camera-free model codenamed Luna, with six microphones and a side button that summons its chatbot and its Muse agent. It could be unveiled at Meta Connect next week, which is one way to answer the surveillance complaints.
OpenAI is testing Sponsored Agents with select U.S. advertisers. After seeing an ad, users can open a separate branded chat to ask about the product or service before visiting the company’s website. OpenAI is also adding AI-assisted copy and imagery to Ads Manager, along with AI-powered text customization that can adapt existing ad text to the conversation and translate it automatically.
AI Tutorial
How to Stop OpenAI from Using Your Chats
According to 404 Media, OpenAI told the outlet that users' chats won't be used to improve the company's models if they turn off the "Improve the model for everyone" setting.
This is turned on by default for Free, Plus, and Pro plans, so users need to proactively turn it off if they wish to opt out. Enterprise, Business, and Edu customers have the model-improvement setting off by default.
To keep your future conversations from reaching human reviewers:
Go to ChatGPT and sign in.
Click your profile icon in the bottom corner and select Settings.
Select Data Controls.
Toggle the "Improve the model for everyone" switch to Off.
Note: The opt-out isn't retroactive. It only applies to new conversations going forward; prompts that have already been de-identified and queued in the system stay part of the training cycle. Also, turning this off doesn't stop automated scans for Terms of Service or safety violations.
