A24 plans to release it in October.
Meta has introduced a new personal AI agent aimed at everyday users, capable of handling tasks like online shopping and sending emails. The launch is framed as an accessible entry point into agentic AI rather than a developer-focused tool.
Meta has released Muse, a personal AI agent designed to work independently once given a goal, handling tasks like drafting emails, organizing saved content, building grocery lists and booking travel. Unlike Meta's existing AI assistant, Muse can connect to third-party services such as Google Workspace, Spotify, Ticketmaster and Apple Health, and can even build its own integrations when a public API exists.

An investigation by education writer Benjamin Riley exposed practices at Alpha School, a private AI-driven K-12 chain, where students must pass an eight-week bootcamp before enrollment. The regimen reportedly includes building X (formerly Twitter) accounts with paid premium status and organic followers, plus a stress test where students are hooked to heart rate monitors while watching recorded criticism from their parents, failing if their pulse rises more than 10 percent above baseline.

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Images 2.5, an update to its April image generation model that promises sharper detail, more natural lighting, and better consistency when editing across multiple prompts. The company says generation latency has dropped by up to 50% compared with the original Images 2 model, and it's adding a sketch-to-image feature plus templates and prompt-sharing tools. Developers also get two new API models, GPT-Image-2.5 Flare and Sunburst, aimed at different levels of editing precision and speed.
A Tech Transparency Project investigation found Meta took days to pull hundreds of Facebook and Instagram ads promoting AI apps that generated child sexual abuse material, some using real photos of children including a European royal and a preteen social media influencer.

The update ships alongside new ChatGPT features like Sketch, templates, and image comments, plus two developer-facing API models, GPT-Image-2.5 Flare and Sunburst.
