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.

Claude Fable 5.1 is available for free testing for a few days on Arena AI.
Until GPT-6 is released, it is the most "intelligent" and advanced publicly accessible neural network.

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.

In GPT-6 Astra, there will be strict limits upon release: initially, it will be available only to Pro subscribers.
With the $100 plan, users will be able to send 50 requests per week. The $200 subscription will allow for 200 messages per week. These limits are shared with the GPT-5.6 Sol Pro.
For Plus plan holders, the model will only be accessible through Codex.

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.

Is Kanye's concert in Russia really canceled? The Gazprom Arena has officially denied the event:
> "In response to the increasing number of questions and inquiries, we reiterate that there are no concerts by foreign artists scheduled in the calendar of events for October 2026 at the Gazprom Arena."
Meanwhile, the announcement is still posted on the stadium's channel. Just yesterday, the concert organizers stated that rescheduling and changing the venue are "not being considered."
So, what is actually happening?

We're building applications like a constructor: the M3E Canvas service has been launched for easy development for Android and browsers using AI agents.
It allows you to assemble all the interface pages from ready-made blocks. You can customize the theme, color palette, fonts, and other visual elements — the prototype runs directly in your browser. At the same time, the service generates prompts for Codex and Claude Code.

Coffee may help to protect against stress: just 2-3 cups a day are enough. It can also boost your energy for the day and improve memory.
The benefits were found specifically in caffeine, which supports the functioning of neural connections in the brain and weakens the mechanisms through which stress typically affects the body. Decaf did not show this effect.
This is a great reason to enjoy your morning coffee.

The well-known tech publication featured Mostik, a startup founded by Alexandra Malysheva, a graduate of the Higher School of Economics in St. Petersburg. The company teaches various AI models to communicate directly with each other without relying on text. The team proposes creating hybrids of powerful and smaller models to save costs.
Moreover, the founder has been working on this topic since 2019—seven years ago, Yandex recognized her efforts with an award for her research on multi-agent systems.

A new advanced alternative to PowerPoint has emerged — the free presentation editor Bento.
It works directly in your browser and supports the creation of animations, charts, adding images, and various design customizations. Everything is saved in a single HTML file.
There is also integration with AI agents through a separate skill: you can send your Claude or Codex to create a presentation from scratch or edit an existing PPTX.
You can use it here. An alternative to Excel and Notion will be added soon.

We exhale: GPT-6 Astra also couldn't complete the mission with the toy helicopter in GTA: Vice City.
The developer created a plugin that allows the model to control the game. It managed to get through a quarter of the mission and even paused the game to think. But that didn't help.
Everything's fine; this is definitely not AGI.
