TODAY IN AI

1. Jeff Bezos is reportedly co-CEOing a secretive startup called Project Prometheus: The NYT reports that Jeff Bezos is launching a new company focused on advancing AI technology and applying it to real-world tasks. The startup has raised $6.2 billion in funding (partly from Bezos himself) and hired nearly 100 employees, including researchers from leading AI companies.

2. Google launches Help Me Schedule for Gmail and new AI travel features: Gmail’s new Gemini-powered Help Me Schedule feature automatically pulls your available time slots from Google Calendar directly into email threads, making it much easier to coordinate meetings. Google also launched AI-powered Search features that help you plan travel itineraries and find cheap flights.

3. NotebookLM adds deep research feature and expanded file support: The popular AI-powered research assistant now offers “Deep Research,” a feature that takes your question, browses websites on your behalf, and then delivers a sourced report. The tool also now supports multiple file types, including Sheets, Drive files as URLs, PDFs from Drive, Microsoft Word Documents, and even images of handwritten notes.

FROM THE FRONTIER

What happens when AI runs out of text to read? Researchers are turning to video games.

Solving the data problem. The AI industry has an elephant in the room. Large Language Models (LLMs) could exhaust the public supply of written text as soon as 2026. This presents a pivotal question: Without fresh training data, how will AI continue to improve? Some experts believe the answer lies in video games.

Using video games to train AI. Video games offer an endless playground for AI to learn how the real world works. Even a simple game helps teach movement, physics, problem-solving, cause-and-effect, and complex spatial reasoning. And, unlike real-world data that's expensive and limited, video games provide infinite simulated scenarios where AI can safely experiment as it learns.

Enter: World models. World models are AI models that understand the dynamics of the real world and can simulate cause-and-effect scenarios to predict outcomes. Unlike LLMs, which rely on reading text, world models learn by observing and building mental maps of how objects move, interact, and behave.

AI’s biggest names are already making progress. DeepMind launched Sima 2, an agent that plays and reasons in 3D virtual worlds. World Labs released Marble, which creates entire 3D worlds from a simple prompt. An Yann LeCun — often called a “godfather of AI” — is reportedly leaving his Chief AI Scientist role at Meta to pursue a new startup focused on world models.

If successful, world models will take us a step closer to creating AI that operates alongside us in the real world.
