Google announces Gemini 3.7 Flash just three weeks after previous release
Google is announcing a new Gemini model today, but it's not the long-awaited 3.5 Pro. Gemini 3.7 Flash is now rolling out to replace 3.6 Flash, which itself was released only three weeks ago. This new "workhorse" model is supposedly the product of core optimizations and developer feedback, offering improved coding and agentic performance. And Google is hoping to counter the lower cost of some competing models with a lower "introductory price" for 3.7…

Microsoft kills off unsuccessful AI features while merging its separate Copilot apps
Two years ago, Microsoft described AI as a “generational shift” in technology that it wanted to lead. Today, the company is merging its Copilot-branded consumer and business apps, and ditching a number of unsuccessful AI features. As initially reported by GeekWire and detailed in Microsoft’s support documentation, the tech giant will combine the functionality of its consumer-facing Copilot app and the more business-oriented Microsoft 365 Copilot app. The move is both an acknowledgement that…

I looked inside an AI generated movie, and the best parts were all human
Higgsfield is using Cully Hill Boys to show you how to prompt up your own movie. Imagine a trio of bumbling, English lads who fantasize about becoming megastars while knocking back a few pints in a grimy pub somewhere in London. Picture the guys chortling and trying to one-up each other’s idealized visions of the future with a series of increasingly glitzy fantasies in which their fame leads to access to groupies and lavish…

Les gains de productivité de l’IA provoquent une augmentation des émissions de CO2

Anthropic could be worth $2 trillion when it goes public
Anthropic investors expect the AI startup to float at a valuation of $2 trillion or more in October, a dizzying figure that would eclipse SpaceX and make the AI lab’s debut the largest-ever initial public offering. Half a dozen of the company’s backers told the FT that Anthropic’s rapidly rising revenue would enable it to more than double its current valuation in a planned autumn float. A listing at that level could unlock billions…

Twitch regrette mais assume : les contenus des chaînes entraînent par défaut l’IA d’Amazon
Faut nous comprendre, on peut pas faire autrement Twitch exploite les contenus des chaînes des créateurs de contenus pour entraîner les modèles IA d’Amazon. Rien de vraiment étonnant, la plateforme de streaming étant la propriété du géant du commerce en ligne, et puis bien d’autres entreprises font de même avec leurs utilisateurs. Le hic ici, c’est que la fonction est activée par défaut… Une bonne partie de la communauté des créateurs de Twitch n’apprécie…

Eclipse du 12 août : elle était visible à 100 % en bas de chez moi, voici ce que j’en ai retenu
Nous avons eu la chance de pouvoir observer l’éclipse totale de Soleil depuis l’Espagne ce 12 août 2026. Une expérience inoubliable.

How kids feel about AI, in their own words
When we set out to talk to kids about artificial intelligence, we thought we knew what we’d hear. We expected some to tell us they were using it to cheat a little, the way Millennials and Gen Xers opened up CliffsNotes or programmed formulas into their TI-82s, and others to share inspiring ways they were using it. We were also listening for concerns that were less kid-specific, like deepfakes or job destruction. But what…

There’s a Fatty Liver Epidemic. AI Could Help Get Ahead of It
All over the world, a slow, insidious change is taking place in the composition of the livers of more than a billion people. While the presence of fat in a normal, healthy liver is negligible, many adults and even children have livers where fat exceeds 5 percent or even 10 percent of the organ’s total weight. Its unnatural presence causes inflammation, cell damage, and the formation of scar tissue known as fibrosis, all hallmarks…

Siri AI could get a boost from news content with new publisher deal
Hallucinations are a problem with any AI, especially when it involves summarizing content, so instead, Apple could let Siri AI provide news directly from an outlet via paid partnerships. The iOS 27 beta is underway, and with it, users can test the new Siri AI. One of the first things users might notice with Siri AI is its tendency to share blocks of text pulled from sources rather than summarizing it. According to a…

Yet while European regulators may be happy, some AI users are decidedly not. One need look…
