Gemini 4 Argon has been made publicly available, and Google is testing AI protection against scammers.

In today's roundup: Google's new model, on-device detection of scam conversations, and research on how neural networks learn. Plus, we've collected several practical projects and analyses for developers.

🔥 Hot:

🔹 Google begins public rollout of Gemini 4 Argon: The model is available through the paid API and to Pro and Ultra subscribers in the Gemini app. 🔹 Google DeepMind and GovTech Singapore are testing AI protection against scam conversations: Lightweight Gemma models run directly on the device: they recognize suspicious conversations and do not send data to the cloud. 🔹 OpenAI engineer arrested on suspicion of installing a recording device: The company reported that a hidden device for recording conversations was found in one of its offices.

➡️ News:

🔹 Industrial Next wants to reduce robot reconfiguration time in factories from weeks to minutes: The company is automating complex and delicate tasks that were previously performed by people. 🔹 Science Corporation implanted a vision-restoring chip in the first patient with Stargardt disease: The company of a former Neuralink co-founder is developing this technology as part of the PRIMA project.

➡️ Useful materials:

🔹 MIT explains how neural networks reconfigure their own learning mechanisms: Researchers are studying how the connections within the network change as it learns. 🔹 A test compared RDMA and TCP for transferring the KV cache during MiniMax-M3 inference: This analysis focuses on the performance of a system in which the prefill and decode stages run on different GPU nodes. 🔹 An author tested which MoE model codes faster on a GTX 1080 Ti: The test compares perplexity with the actual speed of local execution.

➡️ Discussions and case studies:

🔹 A developer created an end-to-end encrypted task manager with Claude Code in 19 hours: Dela can be deployed on your own server. The code is published under the AGPL-3.0 license.
