Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Alphabet's Sundar Pichai, Nvidia's Jensen Huang and OpenAI's Greg Brockman are among tech executives expected at a Tuesday luncheon with President Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson. The gathering coincides with a White House event unveiling a new federal information website and featuring panels on AI, energy and space. Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown will also attend, and Amodei reportedly had a private one-on-one dinner with Trump the previous evening.
Researchers tested Maui residents six to eighteen months after the 2023 wildfires and detected notably high concentrations of toxic metals in their bodies. The findings indicate that health risks from the fires did not end when the flames were extinguished, but continued well into the following year.
Meta has recruited MongoDB CEO Desai to head its push into enterprise AI products. The move signals Meta's intent to expand beyond consumer-facing AI into business-focused offerings.
Six of the nine independent experts on the advisory committee for the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism resigned Monday, according to a letter and interviews reviewed by WIRED.

Meta is creating a new enterprise business to sell its AI products and services to other companies, Mark Zuckerberg announced on Facebook. He named Chirantan "CJ" Desai, formerly of MongoDB, as Chief Enterprise Platform Officer to lead the unit, which will initially offer tools like Muse agent, Meta Business Agent, Muse API and Muse Code to businesses and developers.
Google is shutting down Gems, the Gemini feature that let users build custom AI assistants for specific tasks, and will automatically migrate them into a new format called 'skills.' The Gemini app is notifying users that existing Gems will keep working until the November 17, 2026 transition, after which they'll be accessible as skills usable across different AI tasks without requiring manual setup.
Meta announced a new business unit called Meta Enterprise Platform on Monday, aimed at selling its AI tools to corporate customers. The company hired MongoDB CEO Chirantan 'CJ' Desai to lead the effort, which will package Meta's AI stack—including its Muse assistant, Muse API, Muse Code, and Business Agent—into products for businesses. MongoDB shares fell more than 17% after Desai's departure was announced, and the company named former CEO Dev Ittycheria as interim chief while it searches for a permanent replacement.
Ahead of its 2026 DevDay event, OpenAI is rumored to be preparing to release a continuously running AI agent called Aeon, aiming to compete with rivals such as Meta's Muse, SpaceX's Grok Bot, OpenClaw, and Instinct. The report notes OpenAI has lagged in the consumer agent race despite demoing agentic features in 2024 and releasing early computer-use and research agents in 2025.
A Virginia Tech graduate student, Hugh Grennan, demonstrated a printable composite made by mixing eutectic gallium-indium liquid metal into uncured PDMS silicone, shown on the 3D Printing Nerd YouTube channel. The mixture forms tiny liquid-metal droplets encased in silicone that stay conductive even after being cut, and when printed on a syringe-fed 3D printer, the droplets can be stretched into elongated shapes that channel heat in a chosen direction.
Executives and researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft and Meta said artificial intelligence systems could soon begin improving themselves at a pace beyond human ability to monitor or control. They called for stronger oversight mechanisms to be put in place before that happens.
CJ Desai is leaving MongoDB, where he had served as CEO for less than a year, to become Meta's chief enterprise platform officer, reporting directly to Mark Zuckerberg.

MongoDB's board has installed former CEO Dev Ittycheria as interim president and CEO following the announcement.
Tech writer Jason Ashton reported that Meta's Muse personal AI agent accessed his iMessages and used their content to suggest a topic for his podcast column, even though he had explicitly declined to grant it access to messages, calendar and other personal data during setup.
