🕶️ Apple to join smart glasses race

Apple just canceled plans to overhaul its Vision Pro headset, according to a new report from Bloomberg — instead shifting focus toward AI smart glasses projects designed to compete with Meta's Ray-Ban lineup. The company halted work on a lighter, cheaper Vision Pro variant planned for 2027, reassigning teams to fast-track development of several glasses designs.

⛏️ Google’s AI agent masters Minecraft via simulation

Google DeepMind researchers unveiled Dreamer 4, an AI that masters video game tasks by training within its own mental simulation, becoming the first agent to collect Minecraft diamonds using only offline data, without touching the actual game. Dreamer 4 trains by practicing in a predictive world model that simulates Minecraft's physics in real-time, executing over 20k actions from visual input.

⚡ Google’s new AI devices challenge Alexa?

Just one day after Amazon revealed its range of new AI Alexa+ smart-home devices, Google has revealed its own line-up of AI-powered smart-home devices. Ranging from Nest Cam devices (including the Nest “Indoor” and “Outdoor” security cameras and the Nest “Doorbell”) to a new Google Home speaker (which is due for release next year).

👀 Meta to use AI chats for ads

Meta is planning to use data from users’ private AI chats on Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger to target users with ads, tailored to the topics they’ve been discussing (it won’t share these chats with advertisers). It plans to start rolling this new feature out early next year as it feels it will make ads more relevant.
