Google has officially launched an AI news summary feature on its Discover platform, sparking concerns within the media industry about traffic loss. The feature is now available on iOS and Android in the United States, replacing traditional news titles and source indicators with three-line AI summaries, primarily covering popular topics such as sports and entertainment. The summaries will indicate the number of sources and warn of potential errors, but the publishing industry is worried that this will worsen the Google Zero phenomenon—users can obtain key information without clicking on the original article, leading to a decrease in website traffic and advertising revenue. Previously, Google had already implemented similar features in search.

Google upgrades its AI note-taking app NotebookLM with a new public note library. The library integrates authoritative content such as The Economist and expert notes, allowing users to ask questions and receive AI summaries. New features include audio overviews and mind maps, with initial resources covering practical topics such as longevity guides and travel tips. The platform has currently accumulated over 140,000 user notes, leveraging AI technology to improve knowledge management efficiency and strengthen the information sharing ecosystem.

Google's AI summaries in search raise publisher traffic concerns. The feature, now live in the U.S., generates news snippets with citations, mainly for trending topics. While Google claims it helps users filter content, publishers report organic traffic drops as non-click searches rose from 56% to 69% since May. Despite new monetization efforts like Offerwall, traffic decline persists. Media reactions remain mixed as outlets like WSJ explore AI a....

On July 15, Mita AI Search announced the completion of a new iteration of its 'Deep Research' module and its official public beta launch, becoming the first search service in China that is freely open to the public and features multi-turn reasoning chain visualization. The upgraded system adopts a segmented reinforcement learning strategy, breaking down the originally computationally intensive 'Deep Research' tasks into multiple sub-tasks, maintaining result accuracy while reducing operational costs to a level that allows for public free access. It performs particularly well in retrieving and reasoning with Chinese corpus.

OpenAI's acquisition of Windsurf failed, and Google successfully poached its CEO and core team to join DeepMind. Windsurf, formerly known as Codeium, had raised $200 million in funding and had a valuation of $1.25 billion. Google obtained non-exclusive licensing rights to some of its technology but did not acquire the company. Recently, the popularity of code-generation startups has declined, facing competition from large models like Anthropic and Google. Windsurf will be taken over by its former executives and will continue to operate independently.

Google released Gemini, the top embedding model with 68.37 MTEB score, surpassing OpenAI. Based on Transformer, it supports multilingual tasks at $0.15/M tokens, boosting AI applications like search.....

After OpenAI's $3B Windsurf acquisition failed, Google DeepMind secured a $2.4B non-exclusive tech license and poached key talent. Windsurf's founders and top researchers will join Google while the company remains independent, showcasing a new 'reverse acquisition' trend in AI where giants boost capabilities through hires and licensing. Most of Windsurf's 250-member team will stay to develop AI coding tools. The OpenAI deal collapsed due to Micro....

Google DeepMind open sources the GenAI Processors Python library, helping developers build efficient generative AI workflows. The library supports asynchronous processing of multimodal data and optimizes Gemini API application development, significantly reducing latency in real-time applications. Core features include a modular Processor interface, streaming API design, and concurrency optimization, enabling rapid development of real-time applications such as intelligent assistants. Currently only supports Python, but with an open community contribution model, future plans include expanding functionality to cover more scenarios.
