We cover Apple’s live-translation AirPods, big Google updates (NotebookLM + V3 video + AI Search), Anthropic’s in-chat doc editing, ChatGPT’s expanding Voice Mode, fresh research (agentic papers; AI building expert scientific software), UC Berkeley’s ping-pong robot, and how OpenAI’s new employer-linked certificates could challenge traditional credentials.
