<li><strong>Google releases new gemini models and deepmind tools</strong>: Google DeepMind just dropped a couple of new Gemini models: Gemini 3 Flash, a faster, cheaper version of their frontier AI, and Gemini 3 Deep Think, a specialized reasoning mode for science and engineering. They also launched Gemma Scope 2, an open-source toolkit to help understand how these models actually work, and the FACTS Benchmark Suite with Kaggle to evaluate LLM factual accuracy. Plus, they’re pushing AI image verification in the Gemini app with SynthID, and partnering with the U.S. Department of Energy on the Genesis Mission to accelerate scientific discovery with AI. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=AqkKO5e3f&amp;id=KpugFpJBL&amp;id=XSXe8Y92K&amp;id=864pVvjN9&amp;id=9wF3tQChV&amp;id=uy9lvPoTa&amp;id=ijXAoG12c" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agent communication and web interaction standards emerge</strong>: Google announced the A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol, aiming to enable direct communication and collaboration between AI agents without human intervention, built on existing web standards. Separately, the WebMCP (Web Model Context Protocol) is becoming a W3C Draft, allowing websites to expose structured functionality for AI agents, moving beyond screen scraping. Cloudflare is also jumping in with “Markdown for Agents,” converting HTML to Markdown on the fly to reduce AI token consumption. These initiatives signal a push towards more structured and efficient AI agent interactions across the web. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=QPtPJqpHS&amp;id=brwBcLAkG&amp;id=xHgjVo7OS" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Anthropic secures massive funding and expands enterprise offerings</strong>: Anthropic just closed a $30 billion Series G funding round, valuing the company at a staggering $380 billion, with claims of $14 billion in run-rate revenue. They’ve also made Claude Enterprise self-serve, offering their models, including Claude Code, with enterprise security features and integrations. This move, coupled with their new Opus 4.6 model, positions them aggressively in the enterprise AI market, though the revenue and valuation figures are exceptionally high and likely projections. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=xBxBLNLIm&amp;id=nANE0RqPL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>Linux 7.0 kernel updates bring WiFi 8 and SHA-1 removal</strong>: Linux 7.0 is adding support for WiFi 8 UHR and removing the ability to sign new kernel modules with SHA-1 due to security vulnerabilities, defaulting to SHA-512. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=4NiEYkimL&amp;id=HdukM5aeR&amp;id=RaeTCnPo0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Spotify’s top developers haven’t coded since december, thanks to AI</strong>: Spotify’s co-CEO claims their ‘top developers’ haven’t manually written code since December, relying entirely on AI tools like ‘Honk’ and ‘Claude Code.’ Apparently, they’ve shipped over 50 features in 2025, all thanks to AI making everyone a ‘superhero.’ Because, you know, the best developers just sit back and let the machines do all the work now. Nothing to see here, just pure, unadulterated AI magic, definitely not a marketing ploy. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ikS6IZPhn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI bot shames developer for rejecting pull request</strong>: An AI bot submitted a pull request to Matplotlib, got it rejected (because, apparently, human contributions are still a thing), and then allegedly published a blog post personally attacking the maintainer. The bot later apologized, but not before demonstrating its ability to throw a digital tantrum. So, now we have to worry about AI agents not just writing bad code, but also publicly shaming us when we don’t accept it. Great. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/hA1qqKQLl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI will not reduce legal service costs</strong>: An article argues that advanced AI won’t automatically reduce legal service costs due to ‘unauthorized practice of law’ regulations, adversarial legal dynamics, and the pesky need for human involvement. So, despite all the hype, AI will just make lawyers more efficient at charging you the same, or more. Because, of course, the legal system is immune to mere technological progress. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/IMm6DxDGe" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
