Google announced on Monday that it’s starting to roll out Gemini to the Google TV Streamer, replacing Google Assistant. The tech giant says the change will enable users to use their voice more naturally to access content and more. For example, users can now ask something like, “I like dramas but my wife likes comedies….
Google Maps is adding new AI features, including a builder agent and an MCP server — a tool that connects AI assistants to Google Maps’ technical documentation — to help developers and users create interactive projects using Maps data and code. The company said it is using Gemini models across the board to power these…
Carbon management startup Carbon Direct is buying another carbon credit startup, Pachama, the companies announced today. Pachama laid off around 20 employees this summer as voluntary carbon markets softened. The company had attracted investments from a range of prominent names, including Amazon’s Climate Pledge, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, and several celebrity angel investors, including…
Venmo on Monday introduced a new rewards program, Venmo Stash, offering cash back to customers who transact with their favorite brands on the payments app and engage with Venmo’s products.

The evidence gathered from dozens, if not hundreds of documented instances of spyware abuse all over the world, however,…

Kosmos, built by Edison Scientific, is an autonomous discovery system that runs long research campaigns on a single goal. Given a dataset and an open ended natural language objective, it performs repeated cycles of data analysis, literature search, and hypothesis generation, then synthesizes the results into a fully cited scientific report. A typical run lasts…
Reliable multi-agent systems are mostly a memory design problem. Once agents call tools, collaborate, and run long workflows, you need explicit mechanisms for what gets stored, how it is retrieved, and how the system behaves when memory is wrong or missing. This article compares 6 memory system patterns commonly used in agent stacks, grouped into…
In this tutorial, we explore how neural memory agents can learn continuously without forgetting past experiences. We design a memory-augmented neural network that integrates a Differentiable Neural Computer (DNC) with experience replay and meta-learning to adapt quickly to new tasks while retaining prior knowledge. By implementing this approach in PyTorch, we demonstrate how content-based memory…
Jeff Bezos’ space company Blue Origin scrubbed the second launch of its New Glenn mega-rocket planned for Sunday afternoon due to concerns with weather, a few minor problems with launch pad equipment, and at least one cruise ship that strayed too close to the flight path.
