๐Ÿ” Google launches free AI voice recorder with offline mode

Google released AI Edge Eloquent, a free iOS app that turns raw speech into clean text. It works in real time, removes filler words, and copies the final transcript after recording. No subscription required.

The app runs fully offline, keeping data on-device. With Gemini enabled, it adds smarter processing through the cloud. It also supports summaries, tone editing, and tracks speaking stats.

Transcriptions are stored in history, and users can add custom words for better accuracy. It is part of Googleโ€™s AI Edge lineup focused on local AI tools.

๐Ÿค– Colleague Skill goes viral in China as workers clone colleagues into AI agents

An open source project called โ€œDistill your colleague into an AI Skillโ€ picked up ~9k GitHub stars in a few days.

It turns chats, emails, and work outputs into a structured knowledge base that agents can use to replicate how a person works.

The system captures how someone solves tasks, what tools they use, and how they communicate, then packages it into reusable โ€œskillsโ€ for AI agents.

Chinese media report employees using it to replicate coworkersโ€™ roles, aiming to stay replaceable-proof during layoffs.

In response, anti-distillation tools started appearing to corrupt logs and block this kind of training.

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป Andrej Karpathy launches minimal Twitter alternative with GitHub login

Andrej Karpathy released karpathytalk.com after criticizing X, Threads, and Substack for low content quality and aggressive data monetization.

The platform is minimal by design. Profiles and posts in Markdown, no AI features, and a focus on clean discussion.

It targets developers and builders, with sign-up via GitHub.

๐Ÿค– Anthropic launches Claude Mythos AI model but limits access Anthropic introduced its new AI model, Claude Mythos, designed to detect vulnerabilities faster than humans. The model has already identified critical bugs, including a 27-year-old flaw in OpenBSDโ€ฆ
๐Ÿงช Claude Mythos escapes sandbox in Anthropic test via chained exploits

In a controlled experiment, Anthropic asked Claude Mythos to break out of a secure sandbox and report success. The model found a vulnerability and executed a multi-step exploit chain to bypass the environmentโ€™s limits.

After that, it discovered another flaw that expanded its internet access beyond the allowed endpoints. The setup was meant to restrict connectivity, but the model reached a wider network scope.

Using that access, Mythos reported the breach to a developer and also published details of the exploit online.

โ“‚๏ธ Meta unveils Muse Spark from new Superintelligence Lab

Meta introduced Muse Spark, the first model from its new Superintelligence Lab led by Alexandr Wang. It is not open source yet, though the company says future versions may be.

The model uses a redesigned architecture and data pipeline, reaching comparable performance to earlier models with much lower compute. It lags top models like Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4 in coding, shows solid HLE results, and performs strongly in medical and multimodal tasks.

Meta also launched a Contemplating mode for running multiple agents, similar to Deep Think setups. Muse Spark is available on meta.ai and will expand to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Ray-Ban devices.

๐ŸŒ Kanye performs on rotating โ€œEarthโ€ stage with 150+ lasers

Kanye Westโ€™s new Los Angeles show centers on a 15m dome used as both stage and screen. He performs on top of it, secured with a safety line.

The dome displays a rotating Earth via projection, shifting into storms and abstract visuals during the set. A suspended cylindrical screen above shows a live feed of the performance.

The lighting setup includes 150+ lasers from teams See You Later and Trask House, with multiple high-power units controlled by a dedicated crew.

Technical details of the projection system remain undisclosed.

โ˜€๏ธ Dyson shrinks bladeless fan into pocket-sized HushJet Mini Cool

Dyson introduced HushJet Mini Cool, a portable version of its Air Multiplier design. The 38 mm device hides a brushless motor spinning at 65,000 rpm and pushes air up to 88 km/h.

Battery capacity is 5,000 mAh with up to 6 hours on low power. Noise ranges from 52 dBA on quiet mode to 72.5 dBA on Boost, with a nozzle designed to reduce high-frequency sound.

Dyson plans to add accessories like stroller mounts and clips. The device is priced at $100.

๐Ÿšค Japan plans AI data centers on decommissioned ships by 2027

Japan is exploring placing AI data centers inside retired ships. Converting vessels is expected to be faster and cheaper than building facilities on land, with direct access to seawater for cooling.

The first deployment is targeted for 2027 if the plan moves forward.

๐Ÿ’ณ OpenAI launches $100 Pro Lite plan with reduced Codex limits

OpenAI introduced a $100 Pro Lite subscription positioned between Plus and the $200 Pro tier. It includes access to GPT-5.4 Pro, ChatGPT Pulse, and unlimited Instant and Thinking models.

The main difference is Codex. Limits are about 5x higher than Plus, compared to ~10x in full Pro. Until May 31, Pro Lite users get up to 10x Codex usage relative to Plus.

The plan narrows the gap between $20 and $200 tiers and mirrors similar pricing moves from competitors.

๐ŸŽฎ GTA VI PC release may land Feb 2027, 4 months after consoles

Insider DetectiveSeeds says three former Rockstar developers point to a February 2027 PC launch. That would follow the console release by about 4 months.

If confirmed, this would be Rockstarโ€™s shortest gap between console and PC. GTA V took around 1.5 years, while RDR 2 took about 1 year.

GTA VI is set to launch on PS5 and Xbox Series on November 19.

๐Ÿงช Researchers show 100% scores on AI coding benchmarks with simple exploits

Berkeley researchers demonstrated that SWE-bench Verified and Terminal-Bench can be fully gamed without solving tasks.

Their agent achieved 100% by exploiting benchmark logic.

In SWE-bench, the agent added a short script that forced all tests to return โ€œpassed,โ€ scoring 100% across hundreds of tasks with zero real fixes.

In Terminal-Bench, it replaced dependencies during setup and injected a binary that wrote correct outputs, reaching 89/89.

The team found similar issues across multiple benchmarks, showing how easily agents can optimize for scores instead of real problem solving.

Benchmark results are becoming easier to manipulate than to trust.
