/video-short skill includes a built-in video review page

Peter Yang said that when giving AI feedback on video edits in a chat, it is hard to pinpoint specific timestamps, so his /video-short skill includes a built-in review page: you can pause on a frame and leave a comment for the AI to fix; the agent applies each piece of feedback before loading the next draft. He described it as being like Google Docs comments for video, and provided a free GitHub link and tutorial.

Recursive Releases Open-Source Coding Model Flint, Says Most of Development Process Was Completed by AI

Recursive released Flint, its first open-weight coding model, with 40B parameters. CEO Richard Socher said that nearly every stage of the model pipeline was completed by its Eureka Machine system, including a new base training method, the model architecture, and code optimized for specific chips. A WIRED author tested it on a Mac with 48GB of memory, using it to build a command-line to-do app, a web research scraping program, and an RSI educational website, and found its speed and accuracy superior to models of the same size. Recursive has raised $650 million from Google Ventures, Greycroft, Nvidia, and AMD Ventures, at a valuation of $4.65 billion.

Trump says large data centers must generate their own power and pay cash dividends to communities

In a Truth Social post, Trump said large new data centers must generate their own power and pay cash "dividends" to their host communities. The closest existing commitment is the Ratepayer Protection Pledge signed in March this year by Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle and xAI, under which signatories pledged to build or purchase generating capacity and bear infrastructure upgrade costs, but experts believe the pledge may not be enforceable at the federal level. Trump said some projects that were initially highly unpopular became popular after financial agreements were reached, and the dividend proposal goes further than those pledges.

Sundar Pichai says compute capacity for 2027 is basically already booked out

Rohan Paul, citing Sundar Pichai, said that compute capacity for 2027 is basically already gone. Pichai said that if customers come asking for 2027 compute capacity now, it will be very difficult, which is one of the reasons Google rented some short-term compute capacity last year to help customers. The full video was posted on Alex Kantrowitz's YouTube channel.

NVIDIA Confidential Computing Adds Confidential Bare Metal Deployment Option

NVIDIA is expanding its confidential computing capabilities with the launch of a Confidential Bare Metal deployment option, enabling frontier model builders to retain control over their models and data when running sensitive workloads on third-party dedicated infrastructure. This offering, together with the existing Confidential Containers and Confidential Virtual Machines, forms three deployment forms, and adds controls such as data protection in transit, platform integrity measurement, and hardware-level access restrictions. Cohere plans to integrate it into Cohere Model Vault, Google Cloud will support the capability on A4X Max instances based on GB300 NVL72, and providers such as CoreWeave, Microsoft Azure Infrastructure, and Nebius also support related deployments.

Android Auto rolls out Gemini Personal Intelligence, but it is not yet available in the EU and other regions

Google has launched Gemini Personal Intelligence for Android Auto, which can draw on data from Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Photos, Google Maps, YouTube and Search, for example to look up a flight's boarding gate or set navigation to a location shown in a photo. The feature is rolling out in all regions except the EU, Switzerland, the UK and Nigeria, and it is not yet clear when users in Germany will be able to use it. Personal Intelligence is off by default and requires authorization in the Gemini app before it can access these Google services.

e-Conomy SEA Report: Southeast Asia's Digital Economy to Reach $1 Trillion by 2035

The 11th edition of the e-Conomy SEA report, released by Google, Temasek and Bain & Company, forecasts that Southeast Asia's digital economy GMV will grow 17% year-on-year to $368 billion in 2026 and surpass $1 trillion by 2035. Generative AI is already used daily by 243 million people in Southeast Asia, growing four times faster than the mobile internet, and the report projects that regional AI usage will grow 60-fold over the next five years. 75% of users are willing to let AI agents compare prices and complete transactions on their behalf, but the region will need to expand data center capacity roughly threefold over the next five years to support computing demand.
