Over the last several months, the AI industry has set its sights on some of the problems that have stymied mathematicians for years. In some cases, AI models have made huge progress — though exactly how much isn’t always obvious. The Verge’s Robert Hart explains what OpenAI and others have actually accomplished, the disastrously bad ways the companies have interacted with researchers, and whether there’s a future left for human mathematics.

The feature analyzes video and audio signals to determine whether they “may have been altered outside of Zoom.” The video conferencing app is also launching a tool that uses AI to make presenters “appear more engaged,” as well as an AI-powered feature that smooths out voices and accents in real time.

This update allows you to perform tasks across your apps and files without transmitting data to the cloud, but Perplexity recommends 36GB of RAM or more. It uses Apple Silicon to run Qwen 3.6 or PPLX Pro (a post-trained version of Qwen) directly on your Mac, while allowing you to transfer certain tasks to the cloud for access to updated information and browser use.

ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent have reportedly collectively ordered more than 3 million of Nvidia’s RTX Pro 5500 GPUs, among the most powerful still compliant with US export controls.

A European Commission page noting tech acquisitions has a listing under Apple dated June 17th for a company called Samplab GmbH, as reported by AppleInsider. An archived “About” page for Samplab notes that “AI will revolutionize the music industry.”

Creator life involves using a lot of software. Bad software. Stephen Robles is one of the creators who decided to build something better, for himself and for his community. He tells David how he thinks about his responsibility as a developer, how he makes apps, and how AI is changing the way he builds things for his audience.

Digital Sun thanked Steam players for signing up for a first playtest of an upcoming game called ReVamp, but said that:

The AI note-taking app will use your sources to suggest topics for a slide deck or video, while allowing you to confirm decisions on formatting, visual style, and scope before it starts creating. You can also turn on a new “Review” toggle that lets you look over a final outline before Gemini Notebook’s final rendering.
