    OpenAI has published COBOL and Fortran coding evaluations. GPT-6 Astra averaged 87.4% on MultiLangBench, a 20-language SQLite rebuild test. COBOL rose from 10.9% to 72.1% against GPT-5.6 Sol, and production use still needs expert review. https://www.developer-tech.com/news/openai-reports-87-4-multilangbench-pass-rate-gpt-6-astra/ #AI #SoftwareDevelopment #COBOL #LegacySystems

    Meta&amp;#39;s Muse AI is surfacing shared conversations by title, and one query can expose thousands of chats, according to Ars Technica. Meta says Muse runs on Muse Secure VM, a dedicated virtual machine that houses both the agent and user data. Organisations should require clear access logs and title-level permissions before staff share Muse conversations across a business account. #AI #AIAgents #LLM #SoftwareEngineering

    Antigravity&amp;#39;s A1 drone replaces VR-headset control with a wristwatch controller. The change reportedly halves the price while keeping the 360-degree camera and beginner-friendly virtual cockpit. Control fidelity, latency, range, battery life, and display limits remain unspecified. Would you trust a wristwatch controller on a 360-degree drone? #Tech #Technology

    Spotify de-recommended more than 50m AI-generated slop and spam tracks over the past year, while leaving them playable on search. A separate spam tier removed 75m tracks entirely. Ranking now favours human artists, with AI labels and Verified badges, but there is no listener AI filter, published false-positive rate, or appeal path. #AI #LLM

    HPE plans Spaceborne Computer-4 for the Moon aboard Astrolab&amp;#39;s FLIP rover in late 2026. The fanless module will run AI and HPC locally with undisclosed silicon, and its Kioxia BG6 M.2 SSDs use software RAID 1. Engineers must assess how that RAID layer handles lunar South Pole radiation and thermal cycling without radiation-hardened drives. #Space #AI #LLM #Technology

    Snap has opened Specs pre-orders, with Robert Downey Jr. fronting the launch. He says he was absolutely sold within 40 seconds. Price, ship date, hardware specifications, and deal terms remain undisclosed, so all-day battery, display, weight, and field-of-view evidence should arrive before pre-orders convert. #SnapSpecs #SmartGlasses #AugmentedReality

    Tuesday Labs has opened $20,000 reservations for Voxel, a bipedal home robot. The public detail covers routine tasks and finding misplaced items, but omits delivery timing, payload, runtime, sensor, software specification, benchmarks, safety terms, privacy policy, maintenance plan, and support scope. Task-learning reliability and whole-life cost cannot be judged from price and form factor. #TuesdayLabs #VoxelRobot #HomeRobotics

    Google has released a PyTorch migration tool for moving AI workloads off Nvidia GPUs. Amazon has a comparable tool, and both firms design custom accelerators. The engineering test is whether models keep numerical behaviour and throughput after moving from Nvidia GPUs to hyperscaler silicon, and no benchmarks, licence terms, or migration metrics were disclosed. #PyTorch #NvidiaGPUs #CustomSilicon

    Google is rolling out Gemini Personal Intelligence to Android Auto, with Google Built-in due later. In-car voice can draw on Gmail, Calendar, Maps, and YouTube. Android Auto projects a phone app, while Google Built-in runs inside the car, so behaviour will differ. #GoogleGemini #AndroidAuto #GoogleBuiltIn

    Oura is adding Cardio Effort and automatic VO2 Max to Gen3 and newer rings. Cardio Effort uses the Training Impulse framework to score cardiovascular strain from workout intensity and duration. VO2 Max derives aerobic fitness from GPS-enabled workouts and needs five qualifying activities before an initial estimate appears. #OuraRing #CardioEffort #VO2Max
