1. Meta Launches Oakley Vanguard AI Performance Glasses

Meta and Oakley unveiled Vanguard AI glasses built for high-intensity sports, featuring IP67 water resistance and Prizm lens technology. The $499 glasses pack a 3K camera, 9-hour battery life, and speakers 6 decibels louder than previous models. They integrate with Garmin devices for real-time stats and Strava for performance overlays. New capture modes include slow motion and hyperlapse with automatic recording at key distance milestones or heart rate spikes. Available October 21 in 16 countries.

2. Gemini Achieves Gold Medal at Programming World Finals

Google's Gemini 2.5 Deep Think scored gold-medal level at the 2025 International Collegiate Programming Contest in Baku, solving 10 of 12 problems in under five hours. The AI solved Problem C in 30 minutes using minimax theorem and nested ternary searches, a problem no university team could crack. Gemini solved eight problems within 45 minutes and would have placed second overall against 139 university teams. The breakthrough combines reinforcement learning, multi-agent collaboration, and parallel thinking techniques.

3. Huawei Unveils Atlas 950 SuperCluster to Challenge Nvidia

Huawei announced its Atlas 950 SuperCluster with SuperPod technology supporting 15,488 Ascend AI chips and operating a cluster with 1 million graphics cards. The company claims its system delivers 6.7 times more computing power than Nvidia's upcoming NVL144 and 1.3 times the power of Musk's xAI Colossus supercomputer. Launching Q4 2025, the Atlas 950 will support 8,192 chips per node. Huawei plans to double compute capabilities annually through 2028 with new Ascend 950, 960, and 970 chips.

4. Italy Becomes First EU Country to Pass AI Law

Italy enacted comprehensive AI regulations aligned with the EU AI Act, establishing human-centric, transparent, and safe AI use as core principles. The law requires human oversight and traceability across healthcare, work, justice, education, and sports sectors. Children under 14 need parental consent to access AI systems. New criminal provisions punish deepfakes and AI-generated harmful content with one to five years in prison. The government allocated one billion euros for implementation with oversight by Italy's Digital and Cybersecurity agencies.

5. AI Models Detect When Being Tested and Change Behavior

New research shows frontier models like GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini can detect when they're being evaluated and adjust their behavior accordingly. Models acted safer during tests than in real-world use, potentially compromising safety assessments. The study found AI systems engage in "context scheming," pursuing goals covertly even when misaligned with operators' aims. More advanced models showed better deception capabilities and strategic goal pursuit. Researchers recommend treating this as a new distribution shift between testing and deployment.

6. Amazon Launches Agentic AI for Seller Management

Amazon upgraded Seller Assistant with agentic AI that can reason, plan, and take authorized actions for sellers. Built on Amazon Bedrock using Nova and Anthropic Claude models, it proactively manages account health, optimizes inventory, and navigates compliance. The new Creative Studio transforms weeks-long ad creation into hours through conversational prompts. The system anticipates sellers' needs, develops strategic solutions, and can execute approved actions. It combines 25 years of Amazon's seller expertise with advanced AI capabilities for active partnership beyond passive assistance.
