The latest generation of Gemini models, 2.5 Pro and Flash, are unlocking new frontiers in robotics. Their advanced coding, reasoning, and multimodal capabilities, now combined with spatial understanding, provide the foundation for the next generation of interactive and intelligent robots.
This post explores how developers can leverage Gemini 2.5 to build sophisticated robotics applications. — Read More

The Path to Medical Superintelligence
The Microsoft AI team shares research that demonstrates how AI can sequentially investigate and solve medicine’s most complex diagnostic challenges—cases that expert physicians struggle to answer.
Benchmarked against real-world case records published each week in the New England Journal of Medicine, we show that the Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) correctly diagnoses up to 85% of NEJM case proceedings, a rate more than four times higher than a group of experienced physicians. MAI-DxO also gets to the correct diagnosis more cost-effectively than physicians. — Read More

AI virtual personality YouTubers, or ‘VTubers,’ are earning millions
One of the most popular gaming YouTubers is named Bloo, but he isn’t a human — he’s a VTuber, a fully virtual personality powered by artificial intelligence.
VTubers first gained traction in Japan in the 2010s. Now, advances in AI are making it easier than ever to create VTubers, fueling a new wave of virtual creators on YouTube.
As AI-generated content becomes more common online, concerns about its impact are growing, especially as it becomes easier to generate convincing but entirely AI-fabricated videos. — Read More
How to Become a VTuber
Continuous AI in software engineering
When I use AI in my software engineering job, I use it “on tap”: when I have a problem that I’d like to run past the LLM, I go and do that, and then I return to my normal work.
Imagine if we used other software engineering tools like this – for instance when I have a problem that I’d like to solve with unit tests, I go and run the tests, before returning to my normal work. Or suppose when I want to type-check my codebase, I open a terminal and run npm run tsc. Would that be a sensible way of using tests and types?
Of course not. Tests and types, and many other programming tools, are used continuously: instead of a developer deciding to use them, they’re constantly run and checked via automation. Tests run in CI or as a pre-push commit hook. Types are checked on every compile, or even more often via IDE highlighting. A developer can choose to run these tools manually if they want, but they’ll also get value from them over time even if they never consciously trigger them. Having automatic tests and types raises the level of ambient intelligence in the software development lifecycle. — Read More
