Hi Synapticians!

Big news from Google today! They just released Gemini 2.5 Deep Think, and it's absolutely mind-blowing! This is the same AI system that scored a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad last week. Yes, you heard that right: an AI that can solve math problems at Olympic gold medal level!

Here's the kicker: While OpenAI announced a similar achievement but said they wouldn't release their model for months, Google just went ahead and dropped it TODAY for their Gemini Ultra subscribers. Talk about winning the AI race!

What makes this extra cool? They're testing it with creative challenges like building complex structures in Minecraft! (And yes, it's hilarious and genius that we're now benchmarking super-advanced AI on how well it can build pixelated pagodas and castles in a video game. Who knew that would be the future of AI testing?)

The model uses something called "parallel thinking": basically, it explores multiple ideas at once before picking the best solution, just like how we humans brainstorm. It's particularly amazing at:

• Writing complex code

• Solving scientific problems

• Building things step-by-step (hence the Minecraft tests!)

If you have a Gemini Ultra subscription and need help with really hard problems, whether it's coding, math, or creative projects, definitely give this a try. This is cutting-edge stuff, folks!

Here’s the rest of the news about AI today:

• A recent leak indicates that OpenAI is on the verge of launching a powerful open-source AI model

• OpenAI has taken down a ChatGPT feature following the discovery of private conversations on Google

• Anthropic has introduced two major updates to their Claude apps. Users can now send emails and calendar invites directly from the app
