1/ Manus AI - The Chinese-Born Bot Shaking Up the AI World

Manus AI is the new kid on the block, aiming to outshine DeepSeek with its agentic AI that works autonomously—like a personal assistant on steroids. It can screen resumes, analyze stocks, and even build websites, all without constant hand-holding. Experts are hyped about its potential to act more like a coworker than a tool, but there’s skepticism around data privacy and trust, especially since it’s developed in China. While it’s not widely available yet, Manus could be a game-changer—if you’re cool with handing over the reins to AI.

2/ Can AI Save McDonald’s from Its Ice Cream Machine Curse?

McDonald’s is going all-in on AI, bringing smart tech to its 43,000 restaurants. From AI-powered drive-throughs to sensors that predict when fryers will break, the goal is smoother operations and fewer headaches for workers. They’re using edge computing with Google Cloud to speed up data processing, plus testing a “virtual AI manager” for admin tasks. The tech push comes as McDonald’s looks to boost loyalty and tackle slowing sales. And yes—AI might finally fix those infamous McFlurry machines.

3/ Google’s Gemma 3 Is Tiny, but It Just Beat the Big Guys

Google just dropped Gemma 3, a new AI model that’s crazy powerful but small enough to run on a single GPU. It comes in four sizes (1B–27B parameters) and outperforms bigger competitors like Llama-405B. With a 128K token context window, support for 140 languages, and multimodal abilities, it’s built for speed and versatility. Plus, ShieldGemma 2 is here to keep AI-generated images safe. This model is open, efficient, and a game-changer for AI on personal devices.

4/ First Alexa, Now This? Amazon Wants a Bigger Piece of AI

Amazon is cooking up its own advanced AI model under the Nova brand, aiming for a June release. The goal? A "hybrid reasoning" system that balances quick responses with deep problem-solving—while staying cheaper than the competition. Despite its $8B investment in Anthropic, Amazon wants a top-five spot in AI, especially in coding and math. With this and an AI-powered Alexa+ on the way, the retail giant is making big moves in the AI race.

5/ DeepMind’s New AI Solves 84% of Insane Geometry Problems—Can You?

Google DeepMind just launched AlphaGeometry2, a new AI that aced 84% of International Math Olympiad geometry problems—outperforming the average gold medalist. It combines a Gemini model with a symbolic engine to handle complex proofs, solving 42 out of 50 problems. Trained on 300M+ synthetic theorems, it’s a huge leap from its predecessor. This breakthrough could seriously boost progress in math-heavy fields like physics. Pretty impressive!
