Hand-picked news:

🍌 Google’s ‘Nano-Banana’ AI blows up online ↗️LINK

• What: Google’s new Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model—nicknamed “Nano-Banana”—lets users make advanced image edits using just text. From facial expressions to outfits or objects, the tool preserves original character identity while enabling detailed changes.

• Why: It simplifies complex editing with natural language, offering creative power without needing pro tools like Photoshop. It’s already live via the Gemini app, API, and Google AI Studio.

• Impact: The viral response shows strong demand for intuitive AI design tools. As creative use cases flood the web, Gemini could dominate the next wave of image-editing apps.

🌐 Anthropic joins browser-AI race ↗️LINK

• What: Anthropic has launched a browser-based AI agent called Claude for Chrome, available to 1,000 Max subscribers ($100–$200/month). The agent sits in a sidebar, tracks browser activity, and can perform some tasks on users’ behalf.

• Why: As AI labs battle for control of the browser, Claude joins rivals like Perplexity’s Comet and OpenAI’s rumored browser product. Anthropic emphasizes safety, with protections against prompt injection and site access controls.

• Impact: This marks a major move in the browser-AI race. If successful, it could reshape how people interact with the web—and raise the stakes in ongoing antitrust pressure on Google’s dominance.

🤖 Nvidia unveils a powerful robot brain ↗️LINK

• What: Nvidia launched Jetson Thor, its next-gen system-on-module for robotics and AI developers. It packs 7.5× more AI compute and 3.5× better energy efficiency than the Jetson AGX Orin.

• Why: Built on Ada Lovelace GPU architecture, Jetson Thor is designed to run generative AI models, enabling robots to better understand and interact with the real world.

• Impact: Priced at $3,499, the developer kit could accelerate innovation in robotics, making autonomous machines smarter, faster, and more efficient across industries.

🏥 OpenAI dives deep into the healthcare industry ↗️LINK

• What: OpenAI is ramping up its healthcare push, hiring leaders from Doximity and Instagram to build tools for patients and clinicians. It also launched a benchmark called HealthBench and partnered with Penda Health to test its clinician copilot.

• Why: OpenAI believes AI can simplify healthcare by explaining results, flagging issues, and guiding decisions. With GPT-5, it's aiming for personalized, context-aware health support—without replacing doctors.

• Impact: While AI could revolutionize care, safety remains a concern. Experts warn that flawed advice, automation bias, and lack of transparency could be dangerous without strict safeguards.

📱 iPhone 17 launch event set for September 9 ↗️LINK

• What: Apple’s next big event is happening on September 9, 2025, at the Steve Jobs Theater. The company is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup, featuring a new camera bar design and a slim 6.6-inch “iPhone 17 Air” model.

• Why: This launch continues Apple’s multi-year redesign push, ahead of a future foldable iPhone and a 2027 anniversary model. It’s also a key moment to showcase iOS 26, Liquid Glass UI updates, and new AI features for Siri.

• Impact: The new design and smarter software could reshape Apple’s product roadmap—and intensify competition with Google and Samsung in both hardware and AI.

Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T

The top companies target big markets. Like Nvidia growing ~200% in 2024 on AI’s $214B tailwind. That’s why the same VCs behind Uber and Venmo also backed Pacaso. Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech transforms a $1.3 trillion market. With $110M+ in gross profit to date, Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
