Artificial Intelligence
Gemini 3 introduced by Google as their most intelligent model
Gemini 3 is Google's new flagship AI model, offering a major leap in reasoning, multimodal, and agentic capabilities, and is being deployed into the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search. Developers can start using AI Studio, Vertex AI, and the new Google Antigravity platform, with the Gemini 3 Deep Think mode soon to follow for Google AI Ultra subscribers.
World Labs releases their first product Marble, a generative AI world model to predice the future and plan actions
World models are AI systems that generate an internal representation of an environment, and can be used to predict future outcomes and plan actions. Marble is able to generate an internal representation of an environment. This powers its predictive capabilities.
It now available via freemium and paid tiers that let users turn text prompts, photos, videos, 3D layouts, or panoramas into editable, downloadable 3D environments.
PAN world model comes out of nowhere planting their flag as a top-tier model from MBZUAI researchers
While Gemini 3 and World Labs held the spotlight, another world model stepped up to the plate. Developed by MBZUAI’s Institute of Foundation Models, PAN is built for simulation, prediction, and agentic reasoning.
Unlike traditional video generators that only output frames, PAN maintains a persistent internal state that evolves when guided with natural language. It is powered by their Generative Latent Prediction architecture.
An AI scheduling assistant that lives up to the hype.
Skej is an AI scheduling assistant that works just like a human. You can CC Skej on any email, and watch it book all your meetings. Skej handles scheduling, rescheduling, and event reminders. Imagine life with a 24/7 assistant who responds so naturally, you’ll forget it’s AI.
Spatial Computing
Valve finally revealed their long awaited next generation headset
The Frame is Valves’s entry into the highly contested spatial computing space alongside Apple, Google, Meta and Samsung to name a few. With their ecosystem of devices and strong game catalog a big factor in adoption will be price point.

Robotics
Scientists have created a robotic eye that sees better than you
Researchers from Georgia Tech created a squishy lens made of hydrogel that has extremely good vision to see the smallest of details. A wearable from the future.
EngineAI teases their combat-ready humanoid robot ahead of boxing match
While these robots were computer generated in the video, the company is promising to deliver an advanced humanoid robot that looks straight out of a movie. The company paired up one of their robots with iShowSpeed earlier this year reaching an audience across the globe promoting their brand.
Space
Blue Origin safely lands their rocket for the first time joining SpaceX as the only to do it
With this launch Blue Origin establishes themselves as a major player in the private space race. They’d been around for decades but this milestone demonstrates their ability to earn their share of a high demand for launch capabilities.
Jeff Bezos reportedly returns to the trenches as co-CEO of new AI startup, Project Prometheus
Project Prometheus is a new, $6.2 billion AI startup co-led by Jeff Bezos, aiming to build intelligent systems specifically for engineering and manufacturing in the physical world. The company will focus on using AI to speed up scientific research and design in fields like aerospace and automobiles by simulating real-world processes.
Energy
Valar Atomics becomes the first startup to reach criticality
Think of this as the reactor's "first heartbeat". It means they successfully got a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction going which is a major step toward their long term goals of becoming a reliable power source at scale.
Gaming
Steam Machine’s ecosystem of devices play well together
Alongside the Frame headset Valve also announced the upcoming GabeCube aka the Steam Machine as well as the controller perfectly paired with both the Steam Machine and Frame. This is a long awaited offering from the cult following that Valve has had in the VR space all eying Half Life 3.
Our vision
The key technological progress happening at the moment is the shift from simple Generative AI to Agentic AI. Systems like Gemini 3, Marble, and PAN that can reason, plan, and act autonomously by simulating the world. You can take action by starting to identify repetitive, multi-step tasks in your work or home life that you can delegate to these advanced AI assistants to free up your time.
Concurrently, Spatial Computing marches onward, driven by the announcement of the Frame headset with its companions the Steam Machine and controller, creating a new computing platform with the Steam Deck that’s already on the market. Valve has an opportunity to be the PC for gamers across flat screen and VR.
Space seems to be the new battle ground of the billionaires. Not only did Bezo’s Blue Origin land it’s first rocket but Jeff is also co-CEOing a new startup with his best Elon impression returning to the trenches. The way that such elite founders are diving back in to prepare for the exponential progress ahead across multiple industries speaks to the magnitude of the opportunities they are chasing.
