👦 OpenAI is building a ChatGPT for teens
LINK
|
- OpenAI is creating a different ChatGPT experience for teens and will use age-prediction technology to bar kids under 18 from the standard version, defaulting to the teen one if unsure.
- Parents can link accounts with their teens to disable features like memory and chat history, receive notifications for acute distress, and set new blackout hours when the chatbot cannot be used.
- The company's CEO says it now prioritizes safety over privacy and freedom for minors, a decision announced just ahead of a congressional hearing examining potential harms from AI chatbots.

🕶️ Meta leaks its new smart glasses
LINK
|
- A leaked video revealed new Ray-Ban branded smart glasses with a display in the right lens, letting you view maps, translate signs, or ask Meta AI a question.
- The glasses are controlled with a wristband that uses surface electromyography (sEMG) technology to interpret signals from your hand movements for actions like writing a chat reply.
- Meta’s video also showed new Oakley models, including wraparound “Sphaera” smart glasses with a camera on the nose and a translucent version of the existing HSTN smart glasses.

👀 US version of TikTok might still use the Chinese algorithm
LINK
|
- An agreement for a US TikTok spin-off, now supported by officials from both countries, reportedly includes a plan to license the crucial Chinese algorithm for the new American-owned company.
- This deal is structured this way because the application's value is its recommendation algorithm, which learns individual tastes to show an infinite scrolling feed of videos it thinks you will like.
- Although controlled by American investors, the spun-off application would preserve some “Chinese characteristics” and ensure its content is available to users on the “rest of the world” app.

- This updated system outperforms GPT-5 on the SWE-bench Verified benchmark and is also trained for code reviews, submitting fewer incorrect comments during software engineer evaluations.
- GPT-5-Codex is now available in Codex products for all paying ChatGPT subscribers, with OpenAI planning future API access as it competes with other AI coding tools.

🛒 Google launches a new protocol for AI shopping
LINK
|
- Google introduced the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), an open system backed by partners like Mastercard that creates a traceable paper trail for every transaction initiated by AI agents.
- The system works by requiring two separate user approvals: an "intent mandate" for searching and negotiating, and a "cart mandate" that gives final permission for a specific purchase.
- Google also collaborated with Coinbase to create a protocol extension, which integrates the x402 protocol to allow AI agents to complete purchases directly from users' cryptocurrency wallets.

- This financial milestone was shared as the Google-owned service marks its 20th year and pushes to establish itself as one of the world’s most lucrative media businesses.
