The upcoming week shall have Apple's most anticipated hardware launch of the year.
Feel free to share this publication link to those in your family, friends and acquaintances who have a curiosity in knowing more about AI tools/services/use cases which are rapidly evolving.

Props to Ben Chevalier for pointer to the below
Nano Banana best practices from the Google team themselves.
- Be hyper-specific: The more detail you provide, the more control you have. Instead of "fantasy armor," describe it "ornate elven plate armor, etched with silver leaf patterns, with a high collar and pauldrons shaped
For those in the group using Replit or thinking about using Replit
Until now, using Replit Agent meant choosing between two paths:
Start with one of their curated app types. For example, HTML, CSS, React, ShadCN UI, built to work seamlessly with Agent.
Or go fully custom—without Agent support.
From now on, Replit Agent now works with any framework!
What's now possible for advance builders:
Announcing General Agent: Import, build & run anything!
Watch it run ComfyUI by just adding "repl•new/" to the URL.
Replit - Agent is now available to build apps with any framework
We are excited to announce that Replit Agent is now available to assist in building apps across all development frameworks. This allows more advanced users to be able to build with the Agent with the framework of their choice. Why does this matter?
1 | Perplexity rolling out Comet to all students worldwide.
Comet is now available for all students. Should be a no brainer to switch from Chrome for the following:
- Comet Assistant - Flash Cards - Ad Block - Study Mode
We are rolling out Comet to all students worldwide.
Ask Comet to manage your schedule, order textbooks, or prepare for exams with Study Mode.

2 | via Chris Mendez A long-form article from his experience trying out 3 IDE’s Three Faces of AI Coding: Cursor, IntelliJ, and ChatGPTTwo weeks, three AI dev tools: Cursor the reckless junior, IntelliJ the cautious senior, and ChatGPT the strategist. Together they reveal not just code-but how I code.  |

2 | Perplexity's agentic browser Comet is coming soon to mobile and is now available for pre-orders on Android Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.perplexity.comet Reply-by: Leeny I still think that ChatGPT 5.0 is doing a good job too 👍 |
3 | EmbeddingGemma is a 300M parameter, state-of-the-art for its size, open embedding model from Google, built from Gemma 3 (with T5Gemma initialization) and the same research and technology used to create Gemini models. EmbeddingGemma produces vector representations of text, making it well-suited for search and retrieval tasks, including classification, clustering, and semantic similarity search. This model was trained with data in 100+ spoken languages.  |
4 | TIL (Today I learned) that elements of LottieFiles uses Groq (with a Q) under the hood. Ideation and Animation at Human SpeedThe animator can try new ideas or suggest tweaks, get back the LottieFiles result, and accept or discard it, all in the matter of a couple of seconds. The back and forth can be as fast as the creator wants.  LottieFiles: Download Free lightweight animations for website & apps.Effortlessly bring the smallest, free, ready-to-use motion graphics for the web, app, social, and designs. Create, edit, test, collaborate, and ship Lottie animations in no time!  PS. If you haven't tried Groq and Cerebras and experienced their 'speedy gonzales/road runner' level of inference speed via their chat interface then I strongly encourage you to try it out CerebrasCerebras is the go-to platform for fast and effortless AI training. Learn more at cerebras.ai.  Groq is fast inference for AI buildersThe LPU™ Inference Engine by Groq is a hardware and software platform that delivers exceptional compute speed, quality, and energy efficiency. Groq provides cloud and on-prem solutions at scale for AI applications.  Don't ask questions which require websearch, ask questions which can be answered by whatever is in their training data What you want to be seeing is 'tokens per second' which may be rendered on their respective websites as T/s |
1 | Moonshot AI just dropped Kimi K2-0905 - 32B activated parameters and 1T total parameters; - SOTA performance in frontier knowledge, math, and coding among non-thinking models; - Meticulously optimized for agentic tasks; - Upgraded from 128K to 256K to provide better support for complex, long-running tasks; - Supports output speeds of up to 60-100 tokens per second.
Kimi K2-0905 update
 - Enhanced coding capabilities, esp. front-end & tool-calling - Context length extended to 256k tokens - Improved integration with various agent scaffolds (e.g., Claude Code, Roo Code, etc)  Weights & code: huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kim… Chat with new Kimi
The Kimi team did an incredible job iterating on developer feedback with K2 0905.
- Fixed the issues: agents, functions, context - Compounded on strengths: code, style, writing Cheers to the Kimi Moonshot team!

3 | Available now to logged-in chatGPT users on the web By popular request: you can now branch conversations in ChatGPT, letting you more easily explore different directions without losing your original thread.
By popular request: you can now branch conversations in ChatGPT, letting you more easily explore different directions without losing your original thread.
Available now to logged-in users on web. 
Let us branch off from chats at specific points without losing the node we branched off from, sometimes I want to persue multiple possible branches to a conversation or sometimes I want to go on like a 1-3 side prompt conversation without it muddying the context of the original
