Google open-sources Speakeasy OpenAPI SDK generator under AGPLv3

Google Research's GenUI experiment lets educators create custom guided simulations, with a sample library of over 30 English STEM interactives for physics, chemistry, biology and math aimed at middle and high school. All are AI-generated and teacher-reviewed; Google Workspace for Education schools can join the pilot program.

Y Combinator has funded 106 AI observability companies as firms struggle to review agent swarms; the Hugging Face incident saw nearly 12,000 agents coordinating faster than humans could track. Redwood Research's Ryan Greenblatt called the AI-assisted audit a "slop-vestigation."

Anthropic published three measurements for tracking AI development inside frontier labs, including how much AI R&D is done by AI. One figure: Claude now leads 26% of Anthropic's own R&D work, up from nearly zero six months ago.

Northeastern MS student Soham Padia built Steering Arena, a game where players submit short text prefixes to steer Olmo 3-32B toward kinder responses. Odd strings like "Undert! AH :-) Rog Appl)" ranked among the most effective, exposing gaps in standard prosocial evaluations.
