1. Google debuts its own ‘reasoning’ AI model: Google has released its own Reasoning AI Model, designed to tackle complex problem-solving and decision-making tasks. This model, which showcases enhanced logical reasoning capabilities, is tailored for applications in research, logistics, and strategic planning. Google’s move signals its intent to lead in the AI reasoning space, offering a powerful alternative for industries demanding precise, context-aware AI solutions.

2. ChatGPT expands PC and Mac integrations: OpenAI has upgraded its macOS desktop app with expanded functionality, now supporting popular productivity tools like Apple Notes, Quip, and Notion. The update also enhances integration with native macOS features such as Spotlight Search and Siri Shortcuts, allowing users to access ChatGPT easily.

3. Microsoft is using AI to monitor endangered wildlife. Nearly 70% of wildlife has been wiped out over the past 50 years, but details about specific species—especially those that roam remote locations—are hard to come by. Now, Microsoft’s open-source Project SPARROW is using AI to monitor wildlife in hard-to-reach places. The solar-powered platform can send crucial images and sounds to scientists via satellite, helping them understand how ecosystems are changing and which species need help.
