MICROSOFT 🔥: A draft of the "Code of Conduct" has been published, introducing the term "Humanist Superintelligence" (HSI).

Key principles 👀

- People matter more than AI.
- AI must remain under meaningful human control.
- Safety takes priority over task completion.
- AI should remain a tool, not imitate a person.
- AI must not pursue independent goals.
- AI must stay within its authorized scope.
- Users must retain control over consequential decisions.
- AI should strengthen human reasoning and autonomy.
- Models must be accurate, transparent, and honest.
- AI must acknowledge uncertainty and correct mistakes.
- Models must not manipulate or exploit users.
- AI must respect personal and emotional boundaries.
- AI should support, not replace, human relationships.
- Models should discourage emotional dependence on AI.
- AI should respect cultural and personal differences.
- Human dignity and fundamental rights must be protected.
- AI should serve the public interest.
- Models should remain politically neutral in elections.
- AI actions should be traceable and understandable.
- Tool use should be authorized, limited, and reversible.

“At Microsoft AI, we’re working towards Humanist Superintelligence (HSI): incredibly advanced AI capabilities that always work for people and in the service of humanity more generally.”

Early look at Interactive Reports on Gemini Notebook

Google appears close to launching Interactive Reports in Gemini Notebook: longer reports with embedded mind maps, slides, quizzes, and flashcards generated on demand, combining research, teaching, and explainer formats in one document.

🗞 #google @testingcatalog

GOOGLE 🔥: Interactive Reports for Gemini Notebook will allow users to embed Mind Maps, Slide Decks, Flash Cards and Quizzes right inside the report.

At first, the system will generate a report with placeholders so users can explicitly create the artifacts they want embedded.

PERPLEXITY 🔥: Windows users with NVIDIA RTX GPUs can now use Portable Computer powered by local models!

> Support for local MCPs and scheduled tasks has also been added.
> Earlier, Portable Computer was introduced for NVIDIA DGX Spark devices.
> Now, Portable Computer is also available on Windows PCs with a supported NVIDIA RTX GPU with 24GB of VRAM or higher.

Models available locally 👀
- PPLX 27B (Perplexity post-trained Qwen 3.8 27B)
- Qwen 3.8 27B (stock) is not available on Windows
- Nemotron 3.5 Lightning (~30B MoE, ~3B active) is marked as "Coming Soon"

ElevenLabs MCP can now generate voice, music, images & video

ElevenLabs added ElevenCreative to its hosted MCP server, letting Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and coding agents create audio, images and video in-chat via one OAuth sign-in, alongside existing agent management tools.

DAILY AI BRIEF 🗞 — Sept 15

AI SLOWDOWN 🔥:

> Dario Amodei: pace the frontier, not halt it — embedded evaluators, lab coordination, then a global deal.

> Elon, All-In: peer-review rival models before release. “Dario is right.”

> Sam Altman agrees, will match evaluators, and says pacing means slower, not stopped.

> Demis Hassabis: Amodei’s essay “points towards the right path,” details TBD, plus DeepMind’s standards-body plan.

> Satya Nadella welcomes deliberate pacing and embedded evaluators; superintelligence without human control is “not worth pursuing.”

> Alexandr Wang: alignment is fundamental and may gate scaling near the frontier, with no join on a coordinated slowdown.

> Trump rejects a slowdown: takeover talk is a “hoax,” control is a “strong and smart president,” and a “sick conspiracy” against AI only helps China.

> China MFA’s Guo Jiakun: slowdown talk is “fear-mongering”; confrontation “serves no one’s interest.”

MODEL FORECAST 🔥:
-‌ Today? Gemini 3.8 Live and Live Extended Thinking slugs appeared on the Cloud quota page; not public.
-‌ This week? Grok 4.7 should land near Opus 5.0, not 5.1; multimodal still needs work.
-‌ This week? Testers say some Claude Code Opus 5 traffic is routing to Opus 5.2 — faster and less lazy, still unofficial.
-‌ Soon: Grok 4.8 is a 2.5T model on a new C++ stack; training wraps this week, then RL.
-‌ Not soon: Grok 4.9 is “probably Astra/Fable class”; Grok 5 is “maybe better than anything.”

PERPLEXITY 🔥:
-‌ Portable Computer is live on Windows PCs with NVIDIA RTX GPUs and 24GB+ VRAM, including local MCP and scheduled tasks.

OPENAI 🔥:
-‌ Bought Glass Imaging for $300M, per WSJ — an ex-Apple smartphone-camera startup, after the earlier Opal webcam stake.
-‌ Codex — got an official Arch Linux installer with pacman updates.

GOOGLE 🔥:
-‌ Interactive Reports incoming on Gemini Notebook: embed mind maps, slide decks, flashcards, and quizzes.
-‌ Gemini Live can run Deep Research in the background and ping you when the report is ready.
-‌ API slug antigravity-preview-09-2026 spotted: hosted Linux sandbox agent, expected to be powered by Gemini 3.8 Flash.

P.S. All predictions in the Model Forecast section are unconfirmed and may change anytime.

P.S.S. We've used Grok to compose this brief, cherry-picking the news and doing some post-editing.

Claude Code Hub? Users will be able to see all their sessions across various places in Claude Desktop.

> Model, effort, and permission mode selectors are configurable for each.
> Both local and cloud sessions are listed there so it is easy to switch between them.

GOOGLE 🔥: Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking are rolling out on APIs, Google AI Studio, Gemini Live, and other apps.

Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking (High) is taking the 1st spot on most benchmarks, overtaking GPT Live 1.

Grok Imagine users can now precisely edit text on generated images. Users can manually configure color, size, font, and text alignment.

> The feature arrived in Beta, and the SpaceXAI team is collecting feedback.

> This feature would be particularly usefull for marketing and creative tasks on text-heavy images.

I have a good test in mind for this feature for tomorrow.

Testing time 👀

Google rolled out Gemini 3.8 Live and Extended Thinking

Google launched Gemini 3.8 Live and Extended Thinking, voice models for near real-time dialogue, reasoning and task execution. Live serves high-volume, multilingual work; Extended Thinking handles complex workflows and leads key speech benchmarks.
