🧑‍💻 Cursor Launches Mobile and Web Agent Access
Cursor now lets users deploy and manage AI coding agents via browser and mobile. Developers can start tasks in natural language, monitor progress, and merge pull requests—all without opening the IDE. Agents can be launched on the go and picked up later in Cursor. It’s a major step in making AI coding tools more flexible and developer-friendly.

📱 Apple May Tap OpenAI or Anthropic for Siri
Apple is weighing a major shift to power Siri with outside AI—either OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude—abandoning its in-house models for cloud-based upgrades. Tests showed third-party tech outperformed Apple’s, prompting talks despite internal resistance. The move could reboot Siri’s reputation and close the gap with Android AI assistants.

🔗 Meta Unifies AI Efforts Under ‘Superintelligence Labs’
Meta is consolidating all AI teams into a new division called Meta Superintelligence Labs, signaling a sharpened focus on building AGI. Alexandr Wang, ex-Scale AI CEO, will lead the unit, alongside Nat Friedman overseeing AI products. The shake-up follows a $14.3B investment and a talent raid on rivals like Google DeepMind and Anthropic.

🧬 Microsoft AI Outperforms Doctors in Complex Diagnoses
Microsoft says its new AI system—paired with OpenAI’s o3 model—surpassed doctors on complex medical cases, solving over 80% of diagnostic challenges versus just 20% for physicians. The AI mimics a panel of specialists, asking questions and ordering tests to reach conclusions. Though not clinic-ready, Microsoft calls it a “path to medical superintelligence.”

🎓 EDUCATION

Computer Science Education Shifts Focus from Coding to Critical Thinking

Generative AI is forcing universities to rethink what it means to teach computer science. At institutions like Carnegie Mellon, faculty are exploring a pivot from traditional coding instruction to emphasizing computational thinking and AI literacy—skills like breaking down problems, evaluating AI outputs, and understanding societal impacts.

With tools like ChatGPT automating basic programming, and entry-level tech jobs dwindling, educators want students to become savvy AI collaborators, not just coders. A National Science Foundation initiative, Level Up AI, is working to standardize this shift. As one student put it, the “golden ticket” of a CS degree now requires more than code—it demands strategy, skepticism, and adaptability. → Read the full article here.

🏗️ INFRASTRUCTURE

Oracle Builds AI Heavyweight with Stargate, ByteDance, Hybrid Datacenters

Oracle has quickly become a major force in AI infrastructure by combining bold capital bets, hybrid cloud partnerships, and strategic global plays. Anchored by its $15–20B, 880MW GPU lease with OpenAI in Abilene, Texas—often referred to as "Stargate"—and a massive under-the-radar ramp with ByteDance across Asia, Oracle is bridging hyperscaler scale with the agility of Neoclouds.

Its secret weapon: a cost-savvy strategy leveraging ODM servers, low-cost debt, and a high-performance networking stack that delivers a 20% CapEx edge. With over $130B in cloud contracts forecasted and its ClusterMAX Gold-rated infrastructure, Oracle is outpacing expectations—and quietly reshaping the AI datacenter map. → Read the full article here.

🔬 RESEARCH

Global Experts Call for New Governance to Manage GenAI’s Risks in Medicine

As generative AI tools like LLMs and GANs race toward integration in healthcare, an international team of researchers warns that current regulatory systems are ill-equipped for the unique risks they pose. Unlike traditional AI, GenAI models are non-deterministic and generalist, challenging existing rules built for narrow, task-specific tools.

The authors highlight a growing gap between GenAI’s rapid evolution and the lag in oversight—raising concerns around opaque training data, clinical hallucinations, and emerging unknown risks. Their call: a global governance framework tailored for medicine’s AI era. → Read the full paper here.
