Turkish airlines have started to cancel flights to and from Russia. On the online departure board of Vnukovo Airport, we counted 16 canceled flights for today — and the day has just begun.
Reports in the media suggest that the country is banning flights due to the "situation with airspace." However, neither Pegasus nor Turkish Airlines have made any public statements yet.

Google has released Gemini 3.8 Flash, which appears to be one of the best models for everyday tasks.
During testing, Google engineers found it to perform better than Anthropic's Opus 5. This new model was specifically developed for coding and application development.
Additionally, it employs a new video processing algorithm for Gemini, capable of handling 40 hours of content in just 25 minutes, using only 1 million tokens. Previously, this required around 14 million tokens.
It is already available in Google Cloud, although you'll need a foreign IP address to access it. We are looking forward to its release in AI Studio and the chatbot.

We're back from vacation and thinking about sports. Now is the perfect time: the bike hasn't made it to the balcony yet, and it's already time to plan for the winter season.
Just in time, the updated series of HUAWEI WATCH GT 7 has been unveiled on the global market. The flagship HUAWEI WATCH GT 7 Pro now features new modes for skiing and snowboarding: the watch tracks speed, distance, and descent, and it even recognizes whether you're on a ski lift or gliding down the slopes.
Another plus for those who don't like to charge their devices every night: the Pro version lasts up to 21 days on minimal usage. The watches will soon be available in Russia, and we can't wait to test them out.

The largest AI services in the world are experiencing a massive outage: simultaneously, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok have all gone down.
In the past 15 minutes, over 20,000 users have reported issues with ChatGPT. Access problems to these neural networks are being noted worldwide, including in Russia.
It seems someone has once again caused issues for the servers.
Update: Among Russian neural networks, Taya AI is still operational.

The Russian equivalent of Starlink is facing issues: none of the 16 "Rassvet" satellites managed to reach their designated orbit after being launched in July.
The satellites were supposed to be positioned at an altitude of about 800 km, but most are stuck at altitudes of 300-400 km. Some of the satellites are already experiencing a gradual decrease in orbit—two of them are likely to soon burn up in the Earth's atmosphere.
There has been no official announcement regarding the potential loss of the satellites. Program developers stated in August that everything was proceeding according to plan.

Yandex is also pivoting towards smart routing, as shared by Valery Stromov, CEO of "Alice and Smart Devices," in an interview with Forbes.
Alongside their Western counterparts, the company is moving from a single universal neural network to a multimodal system with intelligent task distribution.
80-90% of requests will be processed using Yandex's own models, while external models will be utilized for specialized tasks. Everything will be handled within the company's secure environment on its own servers.
According to Stromov, the focus of development remains on their own products: Yandex is independently developing its neural networks, orchestrator, and harness, and aims to recruit around 1,000 medical professionals, lawyers, biologists, and other specialists as AI trainers by the end of the year.
The market is evolving, and we are evolving with it.

OpenAI has showcased GPT-6 Astra, their new flagship model, which is being promoted as the first significant step towards AGI. It was anticipated so eagerly that the OpenAI website crashed immediately after the announcement.
Astra excels in tasks related to computer management, mathematics, scientific work, and particularly in hacking. This is the first public model from OpenAI with a critical level of cyber threat.
In coding, Astra is comparable to Fable 5.1, but it stands out in specific tasks. It has been integrated with the Unity and Godot engines, successfully creating working game prototypes on the first try. The new GPT is priced the same as Fable.
Currently, it is being rolled out to a select group of users, with access being opened to all subscribers in the coming days.

Three tourists from California got stranded in the mountains because their route was planned by AI. They got lost, sustained injuries, and called the sheriff's office to ask for directions.
The novice hikers chose the Clear Creek trail on Mount Shasta, the easiest path to the summit. That’s where their good decision-making ended: they asked Google Gemini to create a hiking plan for them.
The chatbot advised them to take far less food and water than they actually needed. It also scheduled an eight-hour ascent, which ended up taking several days. Eventually, the tourists were rescued by rangers.
We haven't seen anything more astonishing today.

GPT-6 Astra is set to help newcomers dive into game development and 3D design: the new model has significantly enhanced spatial reasoning skills.
Early testers are already creating detailed models in Blender and crafting games using UE5 and Unity. To generate assets, Astra sifts through hundreds of materials to recreate locations and objects. It can even generate cutscenes.
Creating a playable demo from a single prompt has become much easier. It looks like DIY projects will soon flood Steam.
