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.

Has access to ChatGPT been restricted in Russia? The level of network failures when trying to reach the domain chatgpt.com has suddenly increased to 80-85%.
Previously, OpenAI would block login attempts from Russian IP addresses, but now these attempts encounter errors even before connecting to the startup's servers.
The chatbot application has also been affected.

"Spider-Man: A New Day" has become the third highest-grossing film in history, having already earned $2.4 billion worldwide.
Only "Avatar" ($2.92 billion) and "Avengers: Endgame" ($2.79 billion) have better box office numbers. The film continues to fill theaters, and its total earnings may still increase.
Just a reminder to go see it if you haven't already!

Blink and the AI network Alisa AI invited school students to virtually take over Moscow State University (MGU)!
On the 3D map, the main building has already turned purple, and the star on the spire has been replaced with the Alisa AI logo. Users are encouraged to come up with a creative idea—ranging from a giant meme to a capybara on the roof. The winning idea will be transformed by Blink into a real 3D model and featured on the map for an entire month.
However, the project also has a more serious side: with Alisa AI, students can not only conquer MGU in Blink but also do so in real life—by creating a study plan for the Unified State Exam (EGE), clarifying difficult topics, or learning everything about academic competitions.

Memes and jokes in resumes can help in job hunting—even with fake achievements, you can bypass AI recruiters.
AI searches using keywords, so absurd work experiences might actually work. For example, leadership in a Clash of Clans clan was considered relevant managerial experience.
Some people even mention failed interviews at major companies like Goldman Sachs: the AI recognizes the big name but overlooks the note about the rejection.
One guy with “experience in scratching capybara bellies” sent out 100 applications and received 40 invitations for a data analyst position within a week.
Time to update your resume!

GPT-6 Astra can be sent to gather resources in Minecraft: the model searched for diamonds all night while the player was sleeping.
If tools broke, the AI crafted new ones — it even left the mine in search of materials. The diamond expedition was a success.
The plugin for Minecraft is available here. Finally, you can stop playing games.

ChatGPT can now be trained to write on behalf of the user: a new option has been added in the chatbot settings to copy your writing style.
This feature can be enabled in the personalization settings, where the option "rely on my writing style" will be located at the very bottom. You can provide the bot with examples of your emails, Slack chats, and texts from Google Drive.
This function is currently being rolled out, so it may not be available immediately.
