Shipt becomes the latest delivery app with an AI shopping assistant
Users can ask the assistant to do things like "Create a cart for my Saturday tailgate for 25 people and include some brunch items," or "Build a cart for easy school lunches and after-school snacks," Shipt says.
Chris Lehane argues that stronger AI capabilities require stronger safety evidence, shared standards, and durable policy action while the policy window remains open.
Besxar is building an orbital semiconductor factory, one SpaceX rocket at a time
If you want to manufacture in space—and bring the products back again—there’s a limited set of options: Wait to go to the International Space Station, or partner with a handful of start-ups launching spacecraft that spend time in orbit before they return to Earth. But the vehicle that goes to space ...

Gradium Launches Voice Design: Write a Prompt, Get a Brand New Synthetic Voice in Seconds
Voice agent teams keep hitting the same wall. The catalog holds 400 voices and the brief asks for the one that is not in it: a Quebecoise receptionist for a Montreal dealership, a narrator in his sixties with lecture hall authority. Briefs outnumber any catalog, and cloning closes the gap one speake...
Meta Introduces Muse, a Personal AI Agent That Runs on Its Own Dedicated Secure Cloud Computer
Today, Meta has introduced Muse, a personal AI agent that takes actions rather than just answering questions. Muse can send emails, book travel, negotiate bills, and pursue long term goals. It keeps working after you close the app and returns only when it needs approval. The bigger story for AI devs...
What OpenAI’s latest controversy tells us about the future of math
OpenAI’s latest mathematical milestone has quickly become mired in controversy. Today, the company announced that its agents have solved one of the Millennium Prize Problems, some of the most important open problems in mathematics. Under normal circumstances, that solution would be a huge feather in...
NVIDIA Announces CUDA Rust with cuda-oxide (SIMT) and cutile-rs (Tile) for Compile-Time-Safe GPU Kernels
NVIDIA has announced CUDA Rust, a push to make Rust a first-class language for GPU kernels. Two open-source NVlabs projects cover the two CUDA programming models: cuda-oxide compiles SIMT kernels from Rust MIR through Pliron and LLVM to PTX, while cutile-rs JIT-compiles Tile kernels through CUDA Til...
Meta debuts its Muse AI agent. Will consumers trust it?
Meta's new personal AI agent Muse wants access to users' email, calendars, payments, health services, and more — making the company's biggest consumer AI bet yet a major test of whether people still trust Meta with their data.

Google Cloud expands its enterprise AI push with Accenture, betting on forward-deployed engineers to drive adoption and overcome deployment bottlenecks.
Experience Mapping Matters More the Faster You Move
AI is changing how fast organizations can move. Ideas that used to take months to build now take days, sometimes hours. That sounds like good news, and it is. But it creates a new problem. When execution is fast, teams can move in many directions at once. Marketing can ship a new campaign, product c...
This AI entrepreneur is developing agents that can plan ahead for the unexpected
