🌐 Google's AI Division Pays Developers Full Salary for Staying Inactive

DeepMind's noncompete agreements for departing employees range from six months to one year, with longer durations typically reserved for senior researchers or those working on critical projects such as Google's Gemini AI models. During this "garden leave," employees receive full pay but cannot work for competitors.

This policy focuses on key personnel whose skills could greatly benefit rival companies in the fast-moving AI industry.

However, many researchers are frustrated. They worry that long periods of inactivity might leave them behind during a critical phase of AI development and innovation.

🪐 An 18-Year-Old Teen Discovers 1.5 Million Space Objects

Californian 18-year-old Matteo Paz identified 1.5 million new space objects with AI. He won $250,000 in the Regeneron Science Talent Search for his efforts.

Paz's algorithm analyzes data from NASA's NEOWISE mission. The VarWISE catalog, created by Paz's AI algorithm, contains 1.9 million variable objects, of which 1.5 million were previously unknown to science. This groundbreaking dataset offers valuable insights into phenomena such as the expansion rate of the universe and the formation of distant star systems.

➡️ In math and sciences, the new model's capabilities are on par with GPT-4.5 while being significantly cheaper.

➡️ For coding, GPT-4.1 is close to the capabilities of "reasoning" o1 and o3-mini models.

➡️ Knowledge cutoff: June 2024.

How to Use?
1️⃣ Go to @GPT4Telegrambot
2️⃣ Purchase the "ChatGPT + DALL•E 3" in the /premium section
3️⃣ Select the GPT-4.1 in the /model section

Why choose GPT-4.1 mini:

➡️ Outperforms the previous small model, GPT-4o mini, in all tasks.

➡️ Free for all users of our bot.

How to Use?
1️⃣ Go to @GPT4Telegrambot

🧑‍💻 Developers have already announced that the GPT-4.5-preview model will be removed from the API in July, and they recommend switching to GPT-4.1.

😃 New Study Could Help End Baldness

A recent study found that a protein called MCL-1 is very important for hair growth. MCL-1 helps keep hair follicle stem cells alive. These stem cells are needed to grow new hair.

In experiments with mice, when scientists removed MCL-1 from these stem cells, the cells died and the mice lost their hair because new hair could not grow.

This discovery suggests that helping the body make more MCL-1 might be a way to treat some types of hair loss in the future. However, more research is needed before this can become a treatment for people.

📱 Tim Cook Wants to Beat Meta at AR

Bloomberg reports that Apple CEO Tim Cook is "hell-bent" on developing true augmented reality glasses before Meta can bring a similar product to market. "Tim cares about nothing else," sources say.

The intense focus on AR glasses, which are more suitable for daily wear than Vision Pro, represents Cook's bid to cement his legacy at Apple beyond the iPhone, which still accounts for approximately 56% of the company's revenue as of January 2025.

🤩 Lab‑Grown Teeth Could Replace Implants

Scientists at King's College London have grown human teeth in the lab using a special hydrogel scaffold. This breakthrough in regenerative dentistry could one day let you replace fillings and implants with living, self‑repairing teeth made from your cells.

Lab‑grown teeth have significant benefits over today's metal or ceramic implants. Because they're made from living tissue, they can mend small cracks and wear themselves over time. By using their own cells, doctors could avoid many rejection problems. Instead of drilling and inserting hard fillings, a dentist might transplant the patient's tooth cells into the gel and watch a brand‑new, natural tooth grow.
