Google's new Gemini 3 AI model allows users to get better answers to more complex questions. It will be integrated into the Gemini app, Google's AI search products, and the company's enterprise products. Users will start seeing the rollout over the coming weeks. The model is built to grasp depth and nuance, so it is much better at figuring out context and intent behind requests.
Microsoft has announced new partnerships with Nvidia and Anthropic. Microsoft will invest up to $5 billion - and Nvidia up to $10 billion - into Anthropic. Anthropic's valuation is now in the range of $350 billion. It has committed to purchasing $30 billion of Azure compute capacity from Microsoft and has contracted for additional compute capacity up to 1 gigawatt. It has also committed to purchasing up to 1 gigawatt of compute capacity with Nvidia's Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin systems.
Researchers in Germany have demonstrated the first transfer of quantum information between photons emitted by two different quantum dots. The work is part of a project to build quantum repeaters that fit into existing fiber networks. Any attempt to read or intercept quantum communications leaves traces, making systems inherently secure. The current setup teleports information with a success rate of slightly above 70%. This could be improved by stabilizing the quantum dots.
When Uber first came onto the scene, it provided an entirely new experience for both drivers and riders that was orthogonal to the taxi market. This let it create a far larger market. Robotaxis could have the same effect. The technology could result in the end of urbanism as living in the suburbs becomes more convenient.

Gemini 3 is designed to bring any idea to life. This guide covers the key features of the Gemini 3 model family and shows readers how to get the most out of it. Gemini 3 Pro uses dynamic thinking by default - for faster, low-latency responses, constrain the model's thinking level to 'low'. There are some differences in the model that developers should be aware of when migrating from Gemini 2.5.
The most important moments in the history of computing were the introduction of new primitives. The command line enabled composable programs, the GUI gave users direct manipulation, the web linked information together, and smartphones provided sensors and connectivity. Each unlocked ecosystems because they provided new primitives that could be infinitely recombined. AI is a new primitive that allows us to decompose and recompose reality in new ways.
Two-thirds of organizations around the world expect to slow entry-level hiring in the coming years. Employers are rapidly adopting AI tools, and that automation is already changing or displacing roles at scale. Most organizations say job responsibilities have shifted or disappeared due to AI. Routine tasks have been most affected. Many organizations are now focusing on broader communication, critical thinking, and technical abilities over considering university degrees.
A federal judge ruled yesterday that Meta had not illegally stifled competition when it bought Instagram and WhatsApp more than a decade ago. Meta may soon be able to resume buying young startups to stay ahead of the pack. The ruling will eliminate a lot of the strange deal structures that the major acquirers have been using and open up the door for more deals.

Jeff Bezos' new company, Project Prometheus, is coming out of the gates with $6.2 billion in funding and nearly 100 employees, including researchers poached from OpenAI, DeepMind, and Meta. The company is focused on AI that will help engineering and manufacturing in a number of fields. It will create systems that can learn from the physical world in more complex ways than chatbots do. Bezos will be co-chief executive - this is the first time he has taken a formal operational role in a company since stepping down as chief executive of Amazon in July 2021.
Blue Origin is now a manufacturing company that can build rockets at scale. The firm's mission has grown beyond just launching payloads. To go to the Moon, the company must be able to build all of the hardware needed to get to orbit at a rate fast enough to sustain large-scale missions. Blue Origin successfully landed its New Glenn booster for the first time last week. It is looking to conduct another New Glenn launch next year.
Valar Atomics' Project Nova core achieved zero-power criticality for the first time yesterday morning. Zero-power criticality is a foundation milestone that precedes nuclear operation with power. The achievement will allow Valar to gain a greater understanding of the neutronic characteristics of the core and verify assumptions about fuel, moderators, active reactivity control, and burnable poisons. It marks a decisive step toward commercial-scale, factory-built nuclear reactors capable of powering heavy industry, hydrogen production, and AI-era data infrastructure with carbon-free energy.
An experimental reactor built in the Gobi Desert has achieved thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion, bringing humanity one step closer to an almost endless supply of nuclear energy. Thorium is much more abundant and accessible than uranium and generates far less radioactive waste. The entire thorium-to-uranium process takes place inside the reactor core, eliminating the need for external fuel fabrication. The system, which uses molten salt, requires no water at all, allowing it to be built almost anywhere.

Large organizations spend nearly $5,000 per person annually on enterprise tools. But according to Forrester's latest research [14], cutting costs isn't about eliminating tools — it's about cutting friction.

Apple's board and senior executives have recently intensified the company's succession planning for its CEO role. John Ternus is the most likely to take the position, but no final decisions have been made. Apple is unlikely to name a new CEO before its next earnings report in late January. The transition to a new CEO is reportedly not related to the company's current performance.
OpenAI has launched a limited test of its chat app in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan. It will allow people to chat with AI and other people within the same environment. Group chats are separate from private conversations - personal ChatGPT memory will not be used in group chats, and ChatGPT will not create memories from group chat conversations. ChatGPT will automatically reduce exposure to sensitive content for everyone in the chat if any of the members is under 18.
Researchers at Stockholm University have successfully sequenced the RNA of a young woolly mammoth discovered in 2010. This allowed them to explore new information, such as which genes were active, or whether it was infected with RNA-based viruses, when it died. The ability to recover RNA gives scientists another tool to reconstruct and validate ancient genomes. It could be used to explore how gene expression differs between extinct and living species or even between individuals of the same species.
NASA's ESCAPADE mission, which launched on Thursday towards Mars, will collect data to provide clues about why the planet became cold, dry, and almost airless. The mission was initially rejected when it was proposed, and then it was only approved because of a federal government shutdown in 2018. The mission was delayed several times, but the lessons learned along the way could help NASA get more bang for its buck for future missions. The trajectory the mission is pioneering allows launches to be made outside of tight launch windows.

The only flakes you'll see this Thanksgiving will be falling off the crust of that sweet pumpkin pie. Book a call [12] and make it happen.
This document looks at how to create a graphical UI framework that considers developer adoption, performance, display effects, and power consumption. The most popular frameworks solve real problems. It is important to ground design in real projects with real customers, be open to new ideas, and be ready to discard inventions to go where the data leads. The most difficult part of designing a product is balancing a coherent vision with flexibility in the face of new information.
