For product teams moving at AI speed.
AI makes it easier to ship anything, even bad ideas. The hard part is knowing which ideas are worth building.
Jira Product Discovery brings your ideas, customer insights, and priorities into one place, so your team can decide what to ship and move forward with confidence.
Capture ideas, prioritize with evidence, and build living roadmaps your team can rally around—all while staying connected to delivery in Jira, so everyone can see what’s being built and why.
Better product decisions in the AI era.
Programming languages are one of the most important tools in the DevOps arsenal. Choosing the right programming language or languages for your application is essential for succeeding at DevOps and achieving continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD).
Xiaomi has released MiMo-V2.5, a new open-source AI model family designed for reasoning, coding, and AI agent tasks. It supports a 1M token context window & uses large-scale RL to improve reasoning, coding, and planning abilities. Built for agentic tasks, including software engineering, tool usage, and long-running multi-step workflows.

AI agents have a dirty secret: they sit idle for hours waiting on model responses or human approvals, while your cluster keeps paying for that dead time. That is the problem Google's new open-source tool, AX (Agent Executor), is built to fix. Kubernetes was designed for stateless web servers and batch jobs. Agents are neither. They accumulate state, call tools, and can run for days.
Cognition shipped Devin Cloud in Terminal, and devin ssh, so a local CLI session can create, steer, resume, and watch a cloud Devin. /cloud starts or switches to a VM-backed session, devin ssh opens a shell on that VM, and /handoff moves local context, branch, and uncommitted changes into a cloud run that can keep working after you close the laptop.
The ice cream shop that makes money when it's cold
28 Wishes sells ice cream in Los Angeles. Below 70°F, sales fall about 20%. So the owners put about $20 a day into Kalshi weather markets, taking the cold side. The days that keep customers away now pay something back. See how other owners are doing it

AI News:
Amazon just cut Meta’s Muse agent off from shopping on Amazon only 12 days after launch, accusing it of browsing the store unannounced, hiding its identity, and appearing to store customer logins — charges that Meta denies. Muse users trying to shop Amazon get a pop-up saying that continued access by an unauthorized AI agent breaks Amazon’s Conditions of Use.

Google's new Android-powered Googlebooks laptops are intended to be 'real' computers with premium hardware, on-device apps, and powerful development tools. The first Googlebooks are now available from several OEMs. While Chromebooks were mostly budget machines, Googlebooks are priced much higher, with only one model under a grand.
British Columbia is suing OpenAI and Sam Altman, alleging the company failed to warn police before a school shooting killed eight people. OpenAI says it flagged and banned the shooter's account in June 2025, but decided his activity did not meet its threshold for notifying police. Under OpenAI's updated safety rules, the company says that same account would now be referred to law enforcement.
OpenAI began discussing how to share the model’s growing body of mathematical results with the wider research community. It then approached several mathematicians about creating an external advisory board. Instead, with OpenAI’s agreement, they formed an independent group hosted at Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study and invited additional members to join. Its current task is to advise on how a large number of significant results from the model should be reviewed and released
Researchers published a study mapping a “pain axis” inside 25 open AI models, an internal signal that lights up when a system perceives mistreatment — and when amplified, made some models more willing to pick options described as harming users to get relief. The study found the signal spiked on interactions where the AI was gaslit, insulted, or had work rejected, but not when users shared their grief or injuries.

How to Edit Videos with ChatGPT
Download the ChatGPT desktop app and sign in.
Search for ChatCut in the plugin store and click Install.
Create a free ChatCut account, sign in, and connect it to Codex.
Upload your video (and other files if needed) and describe the edits.
Example: "@ChatCut, review everything I uploaded and build a final video from the best moments. Remove awkward pauses and mistakes so it flows smoothly, make sure the audio is clear and balanced, and use my logo and images where they fit."
Refine the result: Continue giving instructions through the chat to adjust the edit instead of starting over.
Export the finished file.
