The bill would make California the first state to govern AI companions if signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom by October 12, taking effect January 1, 2026.

ARC skips heavy teacher models and classifier-free guidance, optimizing quality directly.
Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Automation in Beijing have introduced a new artificial intelligence system called SpikingBrain 1.0.

As we age, our muscles naturally lose mass, strength, and functionality, which can lead to fatigue and weakness beginning as early as our 30s.

A new way to support and improve muscle health as we age, Mitopure® by Timeline is clinically shown to meaningfully boost our mitochondrial health to improve muscle strength, without any change in exercise required.
