π iOS 27 Spatial Reframing pushed to extremes
The new Spatial Reframing feature in iOS 27 uses AI to adjust the angle of a photo after it's taken, allowing users to slightly rotate and improve the shot's composition.
A blogger named itsjackington tested the feature to its limits, pushing the reframing far beyond typical use cases.
The results are striking and show how far the AI can manipulate images, for better or worse.

π Vertical Aerospace Flies Second eVTOL
Vertical Aerospace launched its second full-size electric eVTOL prototype, Valo, on June 5 at its UK test center, doubling its flight test fleet.
Valo has eight motors with tilt and folding props, cruises at 240 km/h, carries a pilot plus 4 passengers, and has a 161 km range. It will later convert to a hybrid-electric version for longer range and heavier loads.
The company aims for commercial certification by 2028 and has about 1500 preorders, including from American Airlines and Japan Airlines. It passed a key milestone in April with a full transition flight under regulator supervision.

π 3D-Printed Lens Sharpens Sound Focus
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania made a 3D-printed cover that narrows sound to a spot under 5 cm wide. A microphone there picks up clear music, while moving 5 cm away cuts volume by 50 decibels.
It works with parametric speaker arrays (PAL) using ultrasound to form tight beams. The 3D-printed acoustic metasurface focuses the beam about 10 cm from the speaker and boosts bass down to 38 Hz without big subwoofers.
This lens only works with PAL systems, solving issues like beam reflection and weak bass by concentrating sound in a small area.

π€ OpenAI Codex now supports local models
OpenAI's Codex added a mode to work with local models, letting users connect it for free to platforms like Ollama or LM Studio. Activating this mode requires the command oss at launch, with Ollama set as the default provider unless changed in the config file.
Codex is an AI coding assistant that now can run any compatible neural network on local hardware instead of relying on cloud services. This removes the need for paid subscriptions to external platforms.

π₯ Grok integrated into Word, Excel, PowerPoint
xAI embedded Grok as a sidebar inside Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Users can write documents, build charts, and generate slides without switching tabs.
Microsoft already promotes Copilot in these apps, so 365 users now have two AI assistants in one interface. xAI took the first step to compete for that space.

π€ ChatGPT beats doctors in medical accuracy
OpenAI reports that ChatGPT now answers medical questions with 71% fewer errors over two months. This improvement comes from manual review of 700,000 responses by 260 doctors across 60 countries.
GPT-5.5 Instant powers ChatGPT, which is free for users. It handles 230 million health questions weekly, but all accuracy tests were done internally without independent clinical validation.

A scam operation targeting men online was set up in China using AI.
One phone types messages with a robotic hand while another guides where to tap via camera.
The AI pretends to be a woman, flirts with men, and extracts money.
The scheme mimics real human chat.

πΊ Amazon Drops Nearly Finished Sam Altman Film
Amazon abruptly refused to release the almost completed film Artificial about Sam Altman's 2023 firing. The movie stars Andrew Garfield as Altman and Yura Borisov as Ilya Sutskever.
The decision came right after Amazon signed a $50 billion deal with OpenAI. They gave no clear reason, only saying the film would suit another distributor better.

π° Midjourney launches full-body ultrasound scanner
The Midjourney Scanner uses a ring of thousands of sensors and 40 ultrasound chips from Butterfly Network to capture 3D images of muscles, fat, bones, and organs in about a minute without radiation or magnets.
Users stand on a platform that lowers them into a shallow pool surrounded by the sensor ring. It creates detailed body composition maps comparable to MRI quality. About a dozen people have been scanned so far.
Midjourney plans to install ten scanners in a San Francisco spa opening by the end of next year. The spa will offer body scans alongside saunas and pools. FDA approval is pending, so use is limited to body composition imaging.
The connection between Midjourneyβs AI image generation.

π€ Boston Dynamics Atlas masters new tasks
Boston Dynamics' humanoid Atlas adapts to new environments and tasks beyond pre-programmed actions. Simulations equal to millions of training hours run daily, with skill transfer to the robot in about an hour, per KB Securities.
Atlas now moves a refrigerator over 45 kg, despite training on 23-32 kg loads, using full-body coordination and balance to adjust force dynamically.
Engineering changes simplify mechanics: two actuator types, symmetrical limbs, and continuous-rotation joints without cables. This reduces the simulation-to-reality gap and improves durability.
An analyst predicts Boston Dynamics could capture up to 60% of the premium industrial humanoid market by 2035.

π SpaceX Unveils AI1 Satellite Data Center
SpaceX introduced AI1, the first satellite data center for AI tasks, per Bloomberg. Elon Musk says AI1 will join a future network of about 1 million satellites performing AI computing in low Earth orbit.
The satellites will have solar panels up to 70 meters long and support 150 kW computing loads with Nvidia chips. Musk says building them is simpler than Starlink satellites, needing mainly solar panels, cooling, and laser links.
SpaceX plans a major production expansion in Texas. The new Gigasat facility will span over 11 million sq ft (~1 sq km) to make large solar panels for these space data centers.

π£ SpaceX to Merge with Cursor for $60B
SpaceX and Cursor signed a final merger agreement valuing Cursor at $60 billion. The deal will be done through a stock swap and aims to close in Q3.
Cursor is a coding tool with a loyal user base, unlike SpaceX's Grok, which failed to gain traction in vibe coding and had an unnoticed Grok Build release.
