Welcome back, Superhuman. I don’t know whether this says more about us or AI. Researchers just built an LLM that can predict human behavior more accurately than even our best psychological theories and statistical models. And: A popular vibe-coding tool just got a major overhaul.
Also today: Learn how to create ultra-realistic images with AI, and get the latest headlines and social media posts.

1. Baidu takes on Sora and Veo with new multimodal video model: The Chinese tech giant just showed off MuseSteamer, a VLM that can generate 10-second clips with fully-synced visuals, sound effects, and spoken dialogue. If that wasn’t enough, the company just open-sourced its powerful Ernie LLM — a move that some experts say is as big as DeepSeek’s game-changing R1 release, “raising the bar for the entire industry.” It’s yet another sign that China is quickly chipping away at the US’s lead.
2. Popular vibe coding platform gets major overhaul: AI app-building platform Replit Agent just got promoted to “senior developer.” The tool can now search the web, analyze large codebases, and think for longer, leading to a 10-15% performance boost for complex tasks. As Replit’s Matt Palmer puts it, these new Dynamic Intelligence upgrades boost the odds that your apps will “just work” right out of the gate — no coding experience needed.
3. Perplexity unveils new all-access subscription tier: Perplexity announced it’s offering a $200/month Max subscription geared toward content creators, business strategists, and researchers. If you’re willing to shell out for it, you’ll get unlimited access to Labs, a tool that lets you generate apps, presentations, and dashboards. The plan also includes frontier models like o3-pro and Claude Opus 4, as well as early access to Perplexity’s upcoming Comet browser.
PRESENTED BY SALESFORCE
reMarkable, the company behind the distraction-free paper tablet, was growing quickly, but they had a big problem:
Increased internal IT and customer support claims made scaling difficult.
So they launched two Agentforce-powered agents:
"Mark" to handle customer service inquiries
"Saga," an internal IT agent embedded in Slack to streamline employee support
In this 7-minute interview, Peter Doolan, Chief Customer Officer of Slack at Salesforce, speaks with Nico Cormier, Chief Technology Officer at ReMarkable, to learn more.
It’s a real-world look at how AI agents can reduce repetitive tasks and boost productivity.
FROM THE FRONTIER
Researchers train model that ‘thinks’ just like a human

When computer scientists train models, they usually optimize for things like accuracy and performance. But what if you tried to instead build a model that acts just like a human, with all of our quirks and flaws? That’s the idea behind a new model called Centaur that could one day make “mind-reading” a reality.
How was it built? An international team fine-tuned Meta’s Llama by training it on 160 psychological studies, which involved more than 10M choices. This helped the model pick up on behavioral patterns that are common across humans.
How did it perform? In 31 out of 32 tasks, it was able to correctly predict how a person would respond to a particular scenario. That was true even for situations that it wasn’t trained on. The model was able to replicate human decision-making better than even leading statistical methods.
Why it matters: The findings suggest “there’s a lot of structure in human behavior,” Stanford neuroscientist Russell Poldrack told Nature. In other words, humans might not be as unpredictable as we once thought, and LLMs could one day help us figure out which factors influence our decision-making the most.
What’s next? The researchers plan to feed the model up to 4x more training data with the hopes of making it even more accurate. Centaur is also open source, so anyone can perform experiments with it, getting us that much closer to understanding the mysteries of the mind.
