SITUATION DETECTED: A researcher used Claude Code with Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.1 to discover a new planet candidate by writing more than 1,000 scripts to search through seven years of NASA telescope data. NASA has approved his request for further verification.

Today at Google Cloud’s Gemini at Work event, we announced Gemini, a new single universal agent for work that has all of your business context and can be used for everything from knowledge work to answering questions, and content creation to coding, all from a single prompt box.
It’s built around core architectural principles:
☑️ Unified Agent: Gemini can answer questions, do knowledge work and generate code from a single prompt box.
☑️Access: Gemini is web-based and can be accessed from any device and integrated into third-party applications. It can also operate without a dedicated user interface.
☑️Persistent Execution: It runs in the cloud, which means it maintains a single set of memories, context and one personalization graph no matter where you access it.
☑️Multi-Agent Orchestration: Gemini can create sub-agents to tackle multi-step tasks and can also act as a coworker agent with a defined role and its own dedicated identity
☑️Context: Gemini knows your tools, data, and work history and learns how you work the more you use it.
☑️Model Choice Flexibility: It orchestrates across multiple models to deliver optimal quality and lower your costs.

Project Suncatcher is our moonshot exploring whether we can one day host machine learning infrastructure in space 🚀
To do so, we need to know whether our AI hardware can operate in orbit. Can our TPUs handle the physical stress of spaceflight and the radiation and thermal extremes of space? These are the questions Google researchers have been exploring for the past few years.
Last week, we launched our first test satellite carrying four TPUs into orbit — putting us one step closer to getting answers.
ALT An infographic against a black background depicting the Earth below states that a rocket trip to low Earth orbit takes about 10 minutes, exposing spacecraft carrying TPUs to acceleration loads up to 10x gravity, and individual TPU chips to forces up to 50–100 g.

NEW: Meta debuts $1,299 VR Glasses at 100 grams by offloading the battery and compute to an external pack. In a demo, it's pretty close to the Apple Vision Pro at less than half the price and 1/6th the weight. They are incredible. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Every 𝕏 user should turn on this security feature 🔒
As 𝕏 Money becomes widely available, some users have received password-reset requests they did not initiate. 𝕏 responded quickly and transparently, confirming that its teams are actively investigating and have found no evidence of any breach so far.
SpaceXAI and 𝕏 General Counsel James Burnham also posted that 𝕏’s legal and security teams “will stop at nothing” to identify and locate anyone attempting to victimize users and hold them criminally accountable, anywhere on or off Earth.
For additional protection, enable:
• Password Reset Protect
• Two-factor authentication
• Passkeys

Introducing /boost in Google Antigravity.
The Antigravity harness can tackle a wide range of tasks right out of the box, but /boost helps if you are tackling particularly complex tasks and are willing to spend some more tokens to push the system to reason deeply about the challenge at hand.
Here is how it works ⬇️
