Perplexity releases Brain Memory System for Perplexity Computer

ICYMI: Perplexity’s Brain is a shared memory layer for Search, Computer, and possibly Comet, exposing organized topics, source context, and a 3D knowledge map. It reportedly lifts correctness, recall, and task cost where prior context matters.

Google is working on a new Artifact type for NotebookLM called "Lit review". In this mode, NotebookLM will be able to "Generate a Literature Review Matrix" based on your sources.

Considering upcoming additions of Google Play Books and Text Books as sources, Google is planning to push new use cases for readers and writers.

Will it be able to map out all characters from "A Song of Ice and Fire"?

Anthropic is working on "Schedules" for its upcoming Claude Conway.

> Recurrent triggers that wake Conway on a schedule. Survive container restarts.

Super excited to see how Conway will work with all these planned features.

ICYMI 👀: Users can now search for Imagine images and videos on Grok!

It works like a proper image search but scoped to your Imagine creations. I wish we have it across the whole set of published Grok images eventually - that would be huge!

Meta AI is getting a new Artifacts tab on the web. All the presentations, docs, web pages and other creations would be stored over there.

Bridging the feature gap 👀

Grok Build Remote appears to be accessible on the web. However, it is not functional and it is likely unintended.

Both Grok Build web and desktop apps are now under a big question, if they would survive Cursor acquisition or not.

ICYMI 👀: Cursor got a new /automate Skill

Automation your toil got insanely simpler over the past few years with AI.

Even Automation is Automated now 🤖

BREAKING 🔥: Sakana AI announced the Sakana Fugu and Sakana Fugu Ultra systems, which perform on par with Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 across many benchmarks.

> Sakana AI is an AI lab from Japan, and Fugu is an orchestration model trained to operate other LLMs.

> It is available as an API but not yet accessible in the EEA region.

That's a natural evolution. Orchestration multi-model systems will outperform single-model systems, and they will become much more accessible for smaller labs and companies to build.

Big players will have to consider building orchestrating systems that rely on models built by competitors. It is already happening at Meta, Apple, and Microsoft, and will likely catch Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI as well eventually.

OpenAI announces GPT-5.5-Cyber (new) model update, which scores 85.6% on CyberGym benchmark in comparison to 81.9% in its early version.

Codex got a new Security plugin too 👀

Sakana AI releases Fugu Ultra system to rival top AI labs

Sakana AI launched Fugu Ultra, a public OpenAI-compatible orchestration model for complex engineering, research, cybersecurity, and data analysis.

Google tests literature review matrix tool for NotebookLM

Google is developing a NotebookLM “Lit Review” artifact that turns uploaded sources into a literature review matrix. Aimed at research-heavy reading, it may connect with Play Books, but launch timing and citation reliability remain unclear.

Anthropic prepares Cowork support for mobile apps

Anthropic’s iOS app hints at Cowork shifting from desktop-tethered Dispatch to cloud and web, enabling mobile task runs and a unified scheduled-actions view. App code also points to a selectable voice model, suggesting a coming refresh.

BREAKING 🔥: OpenAI is preparing "Bidi 1" for the upcoming web release!

> A new voice model will be available in settings, alongside standard and advanced options.
> Voice mode bubble will have a Yellow color instead of blue.

How soon? 👀

BYTEDANCE 🔥: Seedance 2.5 has been officially announced, along with an updated Seedance 2.0.

- Seedance 2.0 now supports 4k output
- Seedance 2.5 will be able to generate 30-second videos in one go
- ByteDance also announced a new AI copyright commercialization platform

This video ad is stunning 👀

BREAKING 🔥: First tests of "Bidi 1", an upcoming bidirectional voice model from OpenAI. This upgrade will arrive in ChatGPT and, potentially, in Codex soon as well.

> Bidi 1 can speak over while you are talking and keep listening.
> Bidi 1 can switch between tasks back and force mid-sentence.
> Bidi 1 is much better at handling interruptions and pauses.
> Bidi 1 can better keep and memorize the context while you speak.

There is still a cap on how long it can keep speaking, which is expected, but it easily counted to 23 without pausing.

* Bidi 1 is not available yet, but given all the recent preparations, we will get it very, very soon.

OpenAI prepares bidirectional voice mode for rollout on ChatGPT

OpenAI is testing Bidi 1, a bidirectional voice model for ChatGPT that can listen and speak at once, handle interruptions, retain context, and reduce unwanted cut-ins. A wider web and mobile rollout may begin soon.
