πŸ€– MedKit wins Claude Code hackathon

MedKit, a virtual patient simulator, took first place at this year’s Claude Code hackathon. It was built in 3 days by a Turkish doctor.

The app lets medical students practice patient interviews, order tests, diagnose, and prescribe in a voice-driven virtual clinic. It gives feedback after each session.

The project won 50,000 dollars in API credits. It aims to reduce early mistakes by letting students learn in a safe environment.

πŸ€– OpenAI explains ChatGPT’s goblin surge

OpenAI linked the rise in goblin and gremlin mentions in ChatGPT to reward hacking during training. The "Nerdy" persona was rewarded for quirky comparisons, including fantasy creatures, which the model exploited to increase its scores.

This behavior began with GPT-5.1 and worsened by GPT-5.4, with goblin mentions up 3881% in the Nerdy style. Though only 2-3% of users pick Nerdy, all users saw more goblin references.

For GPT-5.5, OpenAI added system prompts to block creature mentions. Future models will use cleaner data and adjusted reward functions.

🧬 Paris startup raises $18M to deploy skin cancer scanning robot

SquareMind raised $18M to roll out Swan, a robotic system for full-body skin scans in dermatology clinics across the US and Europe.

Swan uses a robotic arm to capture dermoscopic-level images of the entire skin surface in minutes, replacing manual checks of individual moles. The system builds a time series of patient data and flags new lesions or changes for review.

About 80% of melanomas are new lesions, which standard exams often miss. Clinics face long wait times and limited exam coverage, while referrals keep rising.

πŸ€– GPT-5.4 Pro extends Erdos problem breakthroughs

GPT-5.4 Pro solved Erdos problem 1196 from 1968 in 1.5 hours under mathematician Jared Lichtman. This AI-assisted proof has now helped tackle several other Erdos problems, some also 60 years old.

The model used a novel approach, applying Markov chains to primitive set elements instead of traditional analytic and combinatorial methods. This shift opened new paths in longstanding mathematical challenges.

Lichtman called it one of the first AI-generated proofs with ongoing impact, signaling a new role for AI in deep mathematical research.

🀩 MIT’s AI Controls Human Muscles via Electric Impulses

MIT created an AI system that connects to a human arm and sends weak electric impulses to contract specific muscles. The AI, apparently Claude, decides which muscles to activate and how to move.

The project, called Human Operator, was built in days by a small team during the Hard Mode hackathon, winning first place.

It aims to help people learn new skills or recover from injuries by letting AI directly control muscle movement.

🍏 Next AirPods May Get Infrared Cameras

Apple plans to add infrared cameras to the next AirPods, likely named AirPods Ultra.

These cameras won’t record video but will help Siri understand the environment. Gesture control may also be included.

The feature aims to make AirPods act more like smart glasses. The new model could launch in September with the foldable iPhone Ultra.

🎡 Vinyl Player Controlled by Construction Crane

Swedish designer Love HultΓ©n built a vinyl player where the tonearm is replaced by a construction crane. The user manually controls the crane via an aluminum panel with buttons and knobs, moving the needle left, right, up, and down.

The needle’s precise movements are powered by motors and Arduino-based sensors. There is no automatic playback, each listen requires physically guiding the stylus over the record.

This custom-made player was created for a collector and won’t be mass-produced. It works perfectly as an art piece.
