πŸ‘ PRIMA chip restores central vision in AMD

The PRIMA implant targets geographic atrophy, a late-stage dry form of age-related macular degeneration affecting over 5 million people worldwide. It replaces dead photoreceptors in the central retina with a 2Γ—2 mm chip containing 378 photovoltaic pixels.

The chip converts infrared light projected from special glasses into electrical impulses that stimulate surviving retinal neurons. This bypasses damaged photoreceptors and sends visual signals to the brain, preserving peripheral vision while restoring central sight.

PRIMA does not cure or regenerate cells but acts as an electronic prosthesis. It recently received CE marking, allowing Science Corp to market the system in Europe.

πŸ€– OpenAI separates teens in ChatGPT

Users aged 13-17 will get a separate version with stricter filters for harmful topics.

The bot cannot simulate emotions or provide ready-made homework answers.

Age will be estimated from more than 2,000 behavioral signals, including login time, so documents are not needed. The change follows lawsuits after children received harmful content.

πŸ€– OpenAI Cuts GPT-5.6 Agent Costs

GPT-5.6 Luna scored 84.04% on BrowseComp, nearly matching GPT-5.5 at 84.36%. Its run cost $1.33 instead of $33.27, making the gap hard to ignore.

For agent work, OpenAI recommends Luna and Terra for data extraction and document search. GPT-5.6 Sol on low reasoning also beat GPT-5.5 on high reasoning in one agent test.

The bigger gain comes from the agent setup. GPT-5.6 can preserve reasoning between steps and compact long histories. On ARC-AGI-3, that lifted Sol from 13.3% to 38.3% while using about 6 times fewer output tokens. The model itself was unchanged.

πŸ”ŽLandSpace Lands Zhuque-3 Booster

On its second flight, Zhuque-3 sent Hongqing Technology’s Honghu 03 satellite to orbit, then returned its first stage to landing legs on land. The first attempt ended in β€œanomalous combustion” near the pad.

It was China’s first recovery of an orbital rocket booster to landing legs, and the first landing by a private Chinese company. The 66-metre rocket runs on oxygen and methane, with a reusable booster and disposable upper stage.

China had recorded only 1 earlier landing, by CASC’s Long March 10B, which lowered its stage into a ship-deck net. Falcon 9 first landed in 2015.

πŸ“Ή Flock’s Cameras Feed an Investigative AI

Flock’s cameras cover 6,000 US communities. Its internal tool, first called Nightshift and now OS Investigate, pulls data from the network to log drivers’ movements.

Wired reports that police can search a mapped area using only a person’s physical description, time, location, and behavior. Results can be linked to police files, 911 call logs, and commercial databases, producing a name, home address, relatives, or friends.

A chatbot accepts plain-text requests, including searches for cars seen most often in an area over the last 14 days. Flock says the product is being tested with selected law-enforcement partners and that its current capabilities may change.
