Dutch retailer HEMA built internal AI assistant HAL with MCP and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, consolidating knowledge scattered across portals and wikis and delivering it directly into everyday tools such as Kiro and Claude.
GitHub rebuilt its Copilot app's pull request view to handle rendering pressure from huge diffs and comments, testing an open-source PR with 2,200 files, over 1 million changed lines and more than 400 inline comments. It separates document height into deterministic code geometry and dynamic block geometry: code line heights are computed precisely in advance, while comments and other dynamic blocks use bounded heights and deferred measurements, with corrections anchored to the user's current position.
Microsoft Research systematically measured mobile manipulation robot workloads and found that offloading physical AI inference from onboard GPUs to edge or cloud GPUs can improve task success, support larger models and extend battery life.
Google DeepMind announced an update to Private AI Compute that brings persistent, cross-device AI memory to the cloud while maintaining device-level privacy standards. Data is sealed in encrypted storage, with decryption keys retained only on user devices. When a model needs access, an end-to-end encrypted channel connects to a cloud secure enclave, where data is temporarily decrypted in isolated memory, then re-encrypted immediately after new context is saved.
OpenAI Academy marks its second anniversary, aiming to bring AI skills to more communities.
Google DeepMind released Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS and Gemini 3.8 Flash-Lite TTS. The former targets character design and line-by-line performance direction, while the latter targets high-concurrency voiceovers and voice agents.
NVIDIA validation engineer Sakeena Fiza validates new hardware before mass production in its data centre systems lab. One memorable moment was the first successful system-level enumeration of the Rubin GPU. She compares validation to solving crimes, finding and reproducing issues before customers do, across trays, racks, clusters and customers' AI factories.
