Google is enhancing Android development with its Gemini AI model, launching Gemini in Android Studio for Businesses to streamline the design of work applications. This new offering is a subscription-based service that aims to meet the growing demand for secure, privacy-conscious, and customizable AI integration within large organizations and development teams. By leveraging Gemini, Android developers can now more easily create workplace apps within the Android ecosystem, with enhanced features tailored for managing sensitive codebases and workflows. This move brings AI-assisted coding into enterprise-grade environments without compromising data governance or intellectual property protection.
Visual AI in Gemini Live is also bringing AI-powered vision to devices like the Samsung Galaxy S25. The upgrade allows users to grant Gemini Live access to their camera and screen sharing, enabling the AI to provide real-time conversational interactions about what it sees. Samsung states the new upgrade to Gemini Live means the AI can 'have a real-time conversation with users about what it sees – making everyday tasks easier.' For Galaxy S25 users, this update is already rolling out as a free upgrade, demonstrating the deepening partnership between Google and Samsung in the AI space. In addition to benefiting developers and end users, Gemini is also being integrated into other Google services, such as Google Chat. Gemini in Google Chat can now help users catch up on unread conversations with summaries, even extending this ability to direct messages and read conversations. This functionality, already available, has also been expanded to include three additional languages: Spanish, Portuguese, and German. These enhancements across different platforms show Google's commitment to leveraging AI to improve productivity and user experience across its suite of products. Recommended read:

OpenAI is making a strategic shift by releasing its first open-weight AI model since 2019, a move influenced by the rising economic pressures from competitors like DeepSeek and Meta. This marks a significant reversal for the company, known for its proprietary AI systems. CEO Sam Altman announced the plan on X, stating the model will allow developers to run it on their own hardware, diverging from OpenAI's cloud-based subscription model. This decision comes after Altman admitted OpenAI was "on the wrong side of history" regarding open-source AI.
Alongside this strategic shift, OpenAI also announced it secured $40 billion in new funding at a $300 billion valuation, the largest fundraise in its history. This infusion of capital will support the company's AI research. The announcement of the open-source model also coincided with the release of image generation capabilities within ChatGPT, enabling users to transform images into various art styles, including the style of Studio Ghibli. This feature has gained popularity online, with users converting personal photos and memes into animated images, sparking both creative expression and ethical considerations. Recommended read:

NVIDIA is establishing the Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC) in Boston to integrate quantum hardware with AI supercomputers. The aim of the NVAQC is to enable accelerated quantum supercomputing, addressing quantum computing challenges such as qubit noise and error correction. Commercial and academic partners will work with NVIDIA, with collaborations involving industry leaders like Quantinuum, Quantum Machines, and QuEra, as well as researchers from Harvard's HQI and MIT's EQuS.
NVIDIA's GB200 NVL72 systems and the CUDA-Q platform will power research on quantum simulations, hybrid quantum algorithms, and AI-driven quantum applications. The center will support the broader quantum ecosystem, accelerating the transition from experimental to practical quantum computing. Despite the CEO's recent statement that practical quantum systems are likely still 20 years away, this investment shows confidence in the long-term potential of the technology. Recommended read:

Microsoft is expanding the reach of its AI capabilities by integrating them into everyday applications. Notepad, the classic text editor, is now receiving AI-powered text editing features. The "Rewrite" feature, currently rolling out in preview to Windows Insiders, will enable users to rephrase sentences, adjust tone, and modify the length of their content directly within Notepad. This marks a significant update for an application known for its simplicity since its introduction in 1983, bringing advanced AI tools to a wider audience.
Furthermore, Microsoft's Copilot, the AI assistant, is receiving updates and expanding its availability. It is now accessible within the Viber app, allowing users to leverage its capabilities for various tasks like answering questions, generating images, and providing advice. The Copilot app is also available on MacOS, with sign-in options expanded to include Apple ID for iOS users. File upload support has been added for tabular data formats like XLSX, CSV, and JSON, and Copilot will now offer follow-up suggestions to enhance conversation flow. Recommended read:
