Meet Suna: The Open-Source AI Agent That Works for You, Not Just Talks 💼✨

Happy Monday 👋 Did you know there’s a quiet quantum revolution brewing on Long Island? 🌌 At Stony Brook University, researchers are teaming up with Brookhaven National Lab to take quantum tech from theory to real-world impact. They’re not just talking entangled particles—they’re teleporting them across campus, laying the groundwork for a scalable quantum internet. From laser-cooled atoms in basement labs to fiber-optic experiments run on real telecom lines, they’re solving big problems like quantum error correction and data transduction. The goal? Build a future where quantum networks secure everything from your messages to the power grid. It's like building the next internet—just with atoms and photons. Pretty wild, right? Read More

Meet Suna: A Fully Open-Source Generalist AI Agent That Acts on Your Behalf

Forget chatbots that just talk—meet Suna, a fully open-source AI agent that acts on your behalf to actually get work done. Built by Kortix, Suna is part of a new wave of generalist AI agents designed to answer questions and execute complex, multi-step tasks like market research, lead generation, recruitment, and even travel planning—all from simple natural language prompts. With the power to navigate websites, edit documents, run system commands, and deploy content online, each task runs securely in its own Docker container, giving Suna flexibility and safety. Unlike most closed systems, Suna’s open-source foundation invites anyone to tweak, expand, or build with it, offering a glimpse into the future of AI that doesn’t just assist, but acts. Curious what it’s like to have a digital employee? You might want to try giving Suna a task. Read More

This Chinese breakthrough could change microprocessors forever

China may have just flipped the script in the global chip race with a breakthrough silicon-free transistor developed by researchers at Peking University. Built from a futuristic material called bismuth oxyselenide, this ultra-thin, high-speed alternative could lead to chips that are 40% faster and 10% more energy-efficient than today’s top-tier silicon processors. Unlike traditional designs, the new transistor wraps its gate completely around the source, boosting control and slashing power loss. While still in the lab, this innovation signals more than just a performance upgrade—it could help China sidestep U.S. chip restrictions and redefine the future of semiconductors entirely. Curious what replacing silicon might really mean? This could be the start of a new era. Read More

Ford Just Wrote Off Millions On The Same Thing VW Did

Ford has just hit the brakes on a major project meant to be the "electronic brain" of its next-gen vehicles—a custom-built electrical architecture that was supposed to boost EV efficiency, cut costs, and unlock new tech-driven features. After pouring serious resources into the system, rising costs and delays have forced the automaker to scrap it, according to Reuters. Instead, Ford will lean on its current platform and a secretive in-house team to integrate lessons learned. The setback could ripple into future models like the next F-150 Lightning, highlighting a key challenge legacy automakers face: competing with EV-native brands like Tesla, who started from scratch with unified software systems. Will Ford’s pivot be enough to stay in the tech race? The answer may shape its future. Read More

🎨 Turns out, AI has an eye for art—literally! A neural network trained to recognize the brushwork of Renaissance master Raphael has revealed that one face in his painting Madonna della Rosa may not be his work at all. While the Madonna, Child, and St. John check out, the face of St. Joseph? Nope, AI says it's likely the work of someone else—possibly a student like Giulio Romano. Using a custom algorithm with crazy-good accuracy (we’re talking 98%!), researchers zoomed in on microscopic brushstroke details the human eye could never catch. It’s a cool blend of old-world art and new-world tech, and while the AI isn’t replacing art historians anytime soon, it’s definitely joining the studio as a high-tech assistant.🖼️🤖 Curious what other secrets AI might uncover in your favorite classics?

🤖 AI agents are quickly becoming the new gatekeepers of the internet, changing how we search, shop, and interact online. As tools from Google, OpenAI, and Perplexity reshape the digital journey, marketers are facing fewer ad opportunities and rethinking their strategies. Many brands still lag behind, but the shift is real: AI is handling more discovery, product research, and even purchases. From chat-based ads to in-chat shopping, companies like Microsoft, Visa, and Shopify are leaning in. It’s a new era where bots influence behavior—and yes, even flattery works (if it’s subtle). Welcome to marketing’s AI-powered makeover. 📲 Read More
