Two former Harvard students are launching a pair of “always-on” AI-powered smart glasses that listen to, record, and transcribe every conversation and then display relevant information to the wearer in real time.  “Our goal is to make glasses that make you super intelligent the moment you put them on,” said AnhPhu Nguyen, co-founder of Halo, a startup that’s developing the technology.  Or, as his co-founder Caine Ardayfio put it, the glasses “give you infinite memory.”  “The AI listens to every conversation you have and uses that knowledge to tell you what to say … kinda like IRL Cluely,” Ardayfio told TechCrunch,…

The latest addition to the small model wave for enterprises comes from AI21 Labs, which is betting that bringing models to devices will free up traffic in data centers. AI21’s Jamba Reasoning 3B, a “tiny” open-source model that can run extended reasoning, code generation and respond based on ground truth. Jamba Reasoning 3B handles more than 250,000 tokens and can run inference on edge devices. The company said Jamba Reasoning 3B works on devices such as laptops and mobile phones. Ori Goshen, co-CEO of AI21, told VentureBeat that the company sees more enterprise use cases for small models, mainly because moving most inference…

Google’s DeepMind artificial intelligence research lab this week unveiled an AI agent designed to autonomously find and fix vulnerabilities. Google has several projects focusing on the use of AI for the discovery of vulnerabilities in software. The tech giant recently reported that its Big Sleep agent discovered a critical SQLite vulnerability and thwarted efforts to exploit it in the wild. Its latest product is CodeMender, an AI agent that not only finds security holes but also patches them. The company argues that such tools are needed because as AI gets better at discovering flaws, it will be difficult for humans…

4 Min Read October’s Night Sky Notes: Let’s Go, LIGO! An artist’s impression of gravitational waves generated by binary neutron stars. Credits: R. Hurt/Caltech-JPL by Kat Troche of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific September 2025 marks ten years since the first direct detection of gravitational waves as predicted by Albert Einstein’s 1916 theory of General Relativity. These invisible ripples in space were first directly detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Traveling at the speed of light (~186,000 miles per second), these waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space itself, changing the distance between objects as they…

Windows machines run great until they suddenly start slowing down out of nowhere. If you’re not maintaining your machine regularly, these slowdowns can become much more severe. I have an annual ritual that keeps my Windows laptops running like new. But taking your entire machine apart for weekly maintenance is a hassle. Thankfully, running these commands weekly will keep your Windows PC in top shape, at least on the software end. What are SFC and DISM? Two tools that keep Windows running smoothly SFC, or the System File Checker, is a built-in computer health inspector that you can run via…

Google is expanding access to Opal, its AI vibe-coding app, to 15 more countries. The app, which lets you create mini web apps using text prompts, is now available in Canada, India, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brazil, Singapore, Colombia, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panamá, Honduras, Argentina, and Pakistan. “When we opened up Opal to users in the U.S. we anticipated they might build simple, fun tools,” said Megan Li, a senior product manager at Google Labs, in a blog post. “We didn’t expect the surge of sophisticated, practical and highly creative Opal apps we got instead. The ingenuity of these…

Brain cells are like tiny trees. They have an intricate web of roots that take in signals and a trunk that passes these signals to branches dotted with hubs called synapses, where the messages are shuttled to neighboring neurons.It’s a very loose analogy. But it may be more accurate than neuroscientists previously thought.At eye level, trees seem to grow alone, physically separated from other nearby trees. But under the soil, their roots are covered in a fungus with tiny thread-like channels. These weave tree roots into a vast web called the “mycorrhizal network.” Through these physical connections, trees can share…
