We've got some exciting AI news today with Google releasing their smallest yet most efficient model designed for edge devices, MIT researchers making breakthrough discoveries in antibiotic development using generative AI, and major partnerships reshaping how enterprises access AI technology. Plus, we're seeing fascinating developments in brain-computer interfaces and government AI initiatives. Here's what's happening in the AI world today.

Feeling like you want to get off the rollercoaster of polarizing politics? Read Tangle — an independent and nonpartisan political newsletter recently profiled on This American Life for helping to bridge the gap between politically divided families. Each day, the newsletter unpacks one important news story, examining it from all sides of the political spectrum.

Google just dropped Gemma 3 270M, a 270-million parameter model built for task-specific fine-tuning. Think of it as the "right tool for the job" approach instead of using massive general-purpose models for everything. This thing can handle text classification and data extraction with crazy accuracy while being way cheaper to run. The real proof is companies like Adaptive ML already beating much larger models on specific tasks. It's built on the same architecture as other Gemma 3 models, so developers can easily create specialized, lean systems that actually work in production.

MIT researchers used generative AI to create over 36 million possible antibiotic compounds from scratch. They found two winners that actually kill drug-resistant gonorrhea and MRSA in lab tests and animal studies. Here's the crazy part: these AI-designed antibiotics work completely differently from existing drugs by disrupting bacterial cell membranes. The AI basically invented molecules that have never existed before, then the team tested them to see what worked. This could be huge since antibiotic resistance kills nearly 5 million people per year and we haven't had a major new class of antibiotics since the 1980s.

European startup Multiverse just released two tiny AI models that run on your phone without internet. SuperFly (94M parameters) handles smart home voice commands, while ChickBrain (3.2B parameters) actually beats Meta's larger models on benchmarks. They used quantum-inspired compression to shrink existing models while keeping performance. Apple, Samsung, Sony, and HP are already interested in putting these in consumer devices.

Oracle customers can now use Google's Gemini AI models through Oracle's cloud using their existing credits. The deal includes Gemini 2.5 now, with the full lineup coming later through Vertex AI integration. Businesses get access to video, image, speech generation plus specialized models like MedLM for healthcare. This is Oracle's strategy of giving customers multiple AI options instead of forcing proprietary tech.

Donal Trump's AI Action Plan aims to establish U.S. dominance by cutting regulations and making funding dependent on states not adding AI restrictions. The plan includes a Presidential AI Challenge within 12 months and fast-tracks coal-powered AI data centers by end of 2025. The whole approach is about removing barriers and supercharging U.S. investment in AI infrastructure.

Scientists built a brain implant that reads thoughts and converts them to speech with 74% accuracy. The smart part is it only works when you think of a password first, protecting private thoughts. People just think words and the computer speaks them out loud in real-time. This could help people who lost speech due to strokes or brain injuries communicate again.
