2. Google Upgrades Gemini 2.5 Google released a preview of Gemini 2.5 Pro, an AI model with better performance in coding, math, and reasoning. It now ranks #1 on LMArena. The update includes “thinking budgets” to optimize latency and cost during inference, plus native support for converting hand-drawn diagrams using Excalidraw. It’s a major step toward real-world integration of multimodal AI across work and study.

   🤖 Robi: "It thinks, budgets, and turns doodles into diagrams. Gemini 2.5 is basically your new smart coworker."

3. ElevenLabs Launches Version Three ElevenLabs released v3 of its popular text-to-speech engine, now supporting 70+ languages. The new model includes expressive audio tags like [whisper], [laughing], and can switch speakers dynamically within a single script. These features enable lifelike narration, gaming voices, and multilingual agents. This launch cements ElevenLabs’ lead in TTS technology and pushes forward the realism of generative audio experiences.

   🤖 Robi: "Now your voiceover can laugh, whisper, and switch languages — all without taking a breath."

🔍Beyond the Headlines:

1. AI Diagnoses Cancer on a Laptop Kenji Suzuki’s 3D MTANN model can diagnose lung cancer with minimal data and compute. Trained on just 68 CT scans, it outperforms larger models while running on a standard laptop. This breakthrough dramatically lowers the cost of diagnostics and brings advanced cancer detection to remote clinics, making AI healthcare far more accessible and affordable for patients and researchers alike.

   🤖 Robi: "Cancer detection with 68 scans and a laptop? Somewhere, a supercomputer just blushed."

2. X Bans AI Training X (formerly Twitter) updated its developer terms to ban using platform data for AI training or fine-tuning. The policy quietly appeared in new documentation, signaling X’s intent to protect content from being scraped by LLMs. This move mirrors Reddit’s licensing push and could pressure AI companies to negotiate access, potentially reshaping how training datasets are acquired in the future.

   🤖 Robi: "X says ‘no’ to training on tweets. So your angry rants are safe—for now."
