    Models & Agents for Beginners
    Gemini just dropped a dictation tool that turns messy voice notes into polished text while understanding what’s on your screen.
    Google released Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, a new speech-to-text model that cleans up filler words, works in over 85 languages, and uses what’s on your screen to understand commands. It already shows a 4.0 percent word error rate in streaming mode and delivers 70 percent lower latency than its predecessor Chirp 3. ...

    Models & Agents for Beginners
    A startup ditched its AI ad tool for real people — and the numbers show why that matters for every scroll you do.
    Today we look at a startup that learned the hard way that AI alone isn't enough for ads people actually trust. We also unpack how our brains decide what counts as "learning" in the first place, check out a phone screen that seems to have no edges, and hear about robots racing so hard they catch fire. ...

    AI just proved it can win debates against world champions — and it might help you with your next big life decision too.

    Robots that pick up brand-new skills after watching you do something just once — the future just got closer.
    A new AI system called GEN-1.5 lets robots learn tasks from a single demonstration instead of needing thousands of examples. This matters because it could make helpful robots far more practical for everyday life, from helping around the house to assisting in workshops. ...
