Hand-picked news:
🧠 China expands development of brain implants ↗️LINK
China’s BCI (Brain Computer Interface) industry is rapidly scaling, with startups advancing both implantable and noninvasive systems, backed by national roadmaps, provincial policy support, insurance pricing, and a new $165 million brain science fund.
Clinical trials are expanding, including a fully implanted wireless BCI trial for a paralyzed patient, while companies explore applications from stroke rehab and pain treatment to longer-term human augmentation.
With strong manufacturing capacity, state-backed investment, and a growing market projected to exceed $530 million in 2025, Chinese firms are positioning themselves to compete with U.S. leaders in the global BCI race.
📱 Samsung brings “Hey Plex” to Galaxy S26 ↗️LINK
Samsung confirmed Perplexity will join Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S26, letting users activate it with “Hey Plex” or the side button for conversational search and task help.
Perplexity will work natively across apps like Samsung Notes, Clock, Gallery, Calendar, and Reminder, handling multi-step actions without constant app switching.
Galaxy AI will coordinate between Perplexity, Gemini, and Bixby, with possible expansion to older Galaxy devices expected after the February 25 Unpacked event.
📢 OpenAI plans to launch an AI home speaker ↗️LINK
OpenAI’s first hardware product with Jony Ive’s team is reportedly a $200 to $300 smart speaker featuring a built-in camera and facial recognition for purchases, targeting an early 2027 launch.
The device stems from OpenAI’s $6.5 billion acquisition of Ive’s startup Io Products, bringing in former Apple leaders to oversee hardware, design, and supply chain efforts.
While AI smart glasses and other prototypes are also in development, the speaker is expected to be the company’s first major hardware release as competition intensifies in AI-powered consumer devices.
🩺 Superpower debuts AI Doctor for lab analysis ↗️LINK
Superpower launched a public AI chat that analyzes lab results such as blood tests, microbiome data, and over 100 biomarkers to generate personalized wellness recommendations.
The platform uses advanced memory to track past conversations and build a more complete, evolving picture of a user’s health over time.
Priced at $17 per month, Superpower positions itself as a preventive wellness companion and emphasizes that it is not a replacement for a licensed physician.
🚀 NASA delays Artemis II crewed moon mission again ↗️LINK
Microsoft’s Project Silica uses femtosecond lasers to encode data into borosilicate glass, creating storage that could theoretically last up to 10,000 years without degradation.
Information is written as three-dimensional “phase voxels,” with a single glass chip capable of holding up to 4.8 terabytes of data.
The technology targets institutions like national archives and museums that require ultra-durable, maintenance-free storage resistant to malware and environmental decay.

Better prompts. Better AI output.
AI gets smarter when your input is complete. Wispr Flow helps you think out loud and capture full context by voice, then turns that speech into a clean, structured prompt you can paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any assistant. No more chopping up thoughts into typed paragraphs. Preserve constraints, examples, edge cases, and tone by speaking them once. The result is faster iteration, more precise outputs, and less time re-prompting. Try Wispr Flow for AI or see a 30-second demo.
