👀 Gemini Can Now See Your Screen—In Real-Time

Google has started rolling out powerful new features to Gemini that allow it to analyze your surroundings in real time using your device’s camera or screen — part of its larger Project Astra vision.

The Details:

Gemini Live now supports live video and screen sharing — rolling out to Android users subscribed to the Google One Premium plan.
It processes real-time visuals and gives spoken, natural-language answers, similar to OpenAI’s vision feature in ChatGPT.
Built on Gemini 2.0’s Multimodal Live API, it offers better latency, memory, and dialogue handling with external tool support.
Google also added Audio Overviews (from NotebookLM) and image generation/editing via Gemini 2.0 Flash.

Why it matters:

This marks a big leap in real-time AI interaction. Gemini is now not just reading what you type — it’s watching, understanding, and helping in the moment. It’s Google’s strongest step yet in the race to make AI feel truly present.

🤖 1X to Test Humanoid Robots in Homes by 2025

Norwegian robotics startup 1X is getting ready to bring its humanoid robot, Neo Gamma, into people’s homes by the end of 2025. CEO Bernt Børnich confirmed the rollout during Nvidia’s GTC 2025 event, calling it a major step in training robots for real-world environments.

The Details:

Neo Gamma will be tested in “a few hundred to a few thousand” homes with help from early adopters.
The robot isn’t fully autonomous yet — human teleoperators will assist remotely by controlling its movements when needed.
In-home trials will generate real-world data to train 1X’s AI systems, with users able to control when the robot streams its surroundings
Neo Gamma features upgraded onboard AI and a soft nylon suit to make human-robot interaction safer.

Why it matters:

1X joins a growing list of companies racing to bring humanoid robots to everyday life. While we’re still far from buying robots off the shelf, Neo Gamma’s home trials are a critical milestone toward more useful, real-world-ready AI assistants.

AI & TECH NEWS

Microsoft is teaming up with Swiss startup Inait to build AI models that mimic how mammalian brains think. Based on 20+ years of neuroscience, these “digital brains” learn from real experiences, aiming for faster, energy-efficient AI suited for finance, robotics, and dynamic tasks.

Apple is working on AI upgrades for Apple Watch and AirPods, aiming for a 2027 launch. Features may include Visual Intelligence for real-time environmental analysis. The Watch may get a built-in camera—either in-display or on the side for the Ultra model.

Jack Ma-backed Ant Group claims it cut AI training costs by 20% using chips from Huawei and Alibaba. The breakthrough matches NVIDIA’s H800 in performance, marking a major step in reducing China’s reliance on U.S. tech for AI development.

South Korea’s FuriosaAI has declined an $800M acquisition bid from Meta, choosing independence over a buyout. Known for its Warboy and upcoming RNGD chips, the startup aims to rival Nvidia and AMD—backed by a fresh $48M fundraise and big 2024 launch plans.

Over 400 artists, including Ben Stiller and Mark Ruffalo, are urging the U.S. to enforce copyright rules on AI firms like OpenAI and Google. They warn that unlicensed use of creative work threatens millions of industry jobs and call for licensing deals over “fair use” loopholes.
