This week in tech saw massive shifts across AI, interfaces, and even human sensation. We're breaking down the key announcements and what they mean for the future. Google is testing a major overhaul, merging its standard search results with AI Overviews into a single, conversational flow. This blurs the line between looking something up and chatting with an assistant. In video analysis, Marengo 3.0 demonstrates a leap from simple recognition to true understanding, processing hours of footage in minutes for precise search. Meanwhile, the AI model war intensifies. Insider details suggest OpenAI's upcoming "Garlic" model could retake the lead, while DeepSeek launches specialized models focused on reasoning and agent-like task execution. On the video generation front, both Kling's Video O1 and Runway's Gen 4.5 aim to solve the "uncanny valley" with more coherent physics and unified editing commands. The business of AI is evolving rapidly. OpenAI is preparing to integrate contextual ads into ChatGPT, a move that could create a hyper-personalized ad platform but raises significant privacy questions. Beyond the digital world, tech is getting physical and biological. Nike unveiled sneakers with a mini-exoskeleton for stride support, pointing to a future of active body enhancement. And in a stunning research breakthrough, scientists used focused ultrasound to beam the sensation of specific smells directly into the human brain, opening a path for entirely new forms of sensory data transmission. We also cover Microsoft's efficient Fara-7B model for local UI automation, the empathetic "Ongo" AI robot lamp, and Kimi's presentation generator that democratizes design. What do these trends tell us? Value is shifting from accessing information to instantly extracting meaning from it. The AI race is now about reasoning and specialization, not just scale. And the interface between humans and machines is becoming more conversational, physical, and even sensory.
