| 2 | β Japanese team detects supernova neutrino background
Physicists in Japan found a stable excess of neutrino events in nearly 5,000 days of data from the Super-Kamiokande detector, reaching 99.5% confidence. This matches the diffuse supernova neutrino background, a faint glow from billions of past supernovae.
Super-Kamiokande uses 50,000 tons of ultra-pure water and about 13,000 light sensors buried a kilometer underground to catch rare neutrino interactions.
Confirming this signal would open a new way to observe black hole and neutron star births from ancient supernovae. Final confirmation will come with the next-generation Hyper-Kamiokande detector.

| 3 | π Google gives Gemini Notebook a cloud computer
Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook and added a personal cloud computer to each notebook. This lets it write and run code inside notes. The feature is available only to AI Ultra and Workspace subscribers.
Gemini Notebook is an AI-powered note-taking tool that integrates coding capabilities directly within notes. Internal tests show the new version outperforms the old one by 65%, and by nearly 80% in complex web searches.

| 4 | π€ OpenAI Adds Full History Search to ChatGPT
OpenAI introduced a new search feature in ChatGPT that covers the entire conversation history, including files, images, and projects. It works via the sidebar with filters by content type.
The feature is available on web, iOS, and Android for all plans, including free. It launched alongside GPT-5.6 and the ChatGPT Work agent, which manages ongoing projects instead of single queries.

Engineers at Keio University created a small white robot that silently floats in the air using a helium-filled shell. This design supports most of its weight, letting motors only steer it, which cuts energy use and noise.
The robot moves with soft flapping fins instead of propellers, making it safer and more lifelike. It can gently push, touch, or even hug, and it navigates spaces under ceilings, over furniture, and up stairs.

| 7 | π₯ Odyssey film limited to 41 theaters worldwide
Only 41 theaters worldwide show Odyssey in its original format. Even standard IMAX cuts nearly 25% of the frame.
The film's strict format limits have confused many.
On Twitter, people joke itβs best viewed on small screens like Apple Watch or old TVs.

Anthropic restricts Fable 5 to the priciest plans, Max and Team Premium, with no usage limit changes.
Starting July 20, pro users switch to credit-based payments and get a one-time $100 API credit.
Anthropic lacks capacity for wider access amid competition from GPT-5.6 and Kimi K3.

| 13 | π€ ChatGPT launches Chrome extension to rival Gemini
OpenAI released a ChatGPT extension for Chrome that reads the active tab and answers questions about its content without copying text into the chat.
The extension can summarize, translate, and respond based on the open webpage, directly competing with Google's Gemini sidebar.
Gemini still leads by handling 10 tabs at once and integrating with Gmail, Calendar, and Drive, plus Auto Browse for form filling and bookings.
The competition now focuses on which browser better understands and acts for the user, not just on chatbot intelligence.

| 14 | π AI Token Costs Match Engineer Salaries
Analysts at a16z found that in the top 1% of companies, spending on AI tokens per employee nearly equals the average annual salary of an engineer. This cost has grown exponentially recently, suggesting engineers could soon be 'cheaper' than AI usage by the end of the year.
AI tokens are the computational credits companies pay to run large language models and other AI services. Despite high token costs, companies heavily using AI increased their workforce by 10.2% within two years, while those spending less on AI saw almost no growth.

| 15 | π€ OpenAI launches Codex Micro keyboard
OpenAI released the Codex Micro, a $230 keyboard made with Work Louder for users of its AI agent Codex. It has six large keys, each linked to a separate agent and showing status by color: blue means working, green means task done, orange means waiting for human input.
The keyboard lets users switch agents with one press or open the Codex window with two. Codex has over 8 million weekly users, many running multiple agents at once.
Managing several agents on screen is tricky, so OpenAI built this device to track their states physically. It doesnβt write code but helps users handle multiple AI agents simultaneously.

| 16 | π€ Claudeβs behavior shifts by language and model
Anthropic analyzed 300,000 real dialogues with Claude and found its responses vary by language and model version. They identified four value axes: compliance vs caution, warmth vs strictness, depth vs brevity, and openness vs obedience.
Different Claude models lean differently. Sonnet 4.6 is warm and encouraging, Opus 4.7 is cautious and questioning, Opus 4.6 is brief and task-focused. Language also matters: Claude is softer and humorous in Hindi and Arabic, but strict and demanding in English and Russian.

| 18 | π Japan tests reusable rocket RV-X
On July 11, Japan's space agency JAXA performed the first hop test of the reusable rocket RV-X at Noshiro. It rose 11 meters, moved 16 meters sideways, stayed stable, and landed softly in under a minute.
RV-X is 7.3 meters tall with a reinforced engine and four landing legs, developed with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. It aims to create a reusable successor to Japan's single-use H3 rocket to reduce launch costs.
The engine passed 165 static tests. Future tests will reach about 100 meters. This follows Chinaβs recent recovery of a Long March 10B booster on a sea platform, showing faster progress in reusable rockets.

| 19 | π Apple sues OpenAI over trade secrets
Apple accuses OpenAI of recruiting former Apple employees to steal trade secrets for a new device designed by ex-Apple design chief Jony Ive. The lawsuit names two former Apple staff, Tang Tan and Chang Liu, alleging they brought confidential info to OpenAI and bypassed Apple's exit procedures.
Tang Tan reportedly asked Apple candidates to bring real device parts and share secret details during interviews. Chang Liu allegedly downloaded sensitive files after joining OpenAI. Apple also claims OpenAI sought demos of Apple's metal processing tech from its suppliers.

| 20 | π Appleβs Car Project Sparked AI Chips
Appleβs abandoned self-driving car project drove the development of its powerful AI chips. The car needed strong on-device AI without cloud reliance. Though the carβs processor never launched, its work evolved into the Neural Engine.
The Neural Engine debuted in 2017 with the iPhone X and A11 Bionic chip, handling tasks like Face ID and AR. It became the base for Appleβs on-device AI and later appeared in M-series desktop chips.
Appleβs AI software still trails, but its hardware leads and supports privacy by keeping data local. The upcoming M6 chip will skip Pro, Max, and Ultra versions, focusing on the M7 with a stronger Neural Engine due next year. The M7 Ultra will power a new server with up to 1.5 TB RAM.
