/artRefik Anadol's 'Living Architecture:Gehry' is the most-visited exhibition in the history of Guggenheim Bilbao

/scienceNew Study Questions a Major Assumption About the Fall of the Roman Empire
Many people believe that Britain’s industry collapsed after the Romans left, but a new study of metal pollutants in sediment suggests that wasn’t the case. “The fate of Britain’s crucial metal industry after the Romans left was unknown, and there isn’t any written evidence testi
/technologyGraceful Golem: “fast, powerful stealth model”
A new LLM is currently in stealth mode for testing on Yupp. It’s available in fast or thinking modes. There are whispers that this is Google Gemini 3, which would make sense given how we saw Nano Banana launched (and given its name; GG 😁). We’ll find out soon enough, I suppose…
/technologyThe mysterious ‘nano-banana’ image model giving gpt-image-1 a run for its money
There’s an image model codenamed ‘nano-banana’ currently in testing, widely rumoured to be Google’s next-gen model. I tested it by uploading the first image (from Midjourney) with the prompt “A photobooth photograph in four quadrants of this woman's face in different poses and wi

DNA testing on a girl buried in an Anglo-Saxon grave in around 650CE found that her “paternal grandfather was 100% West African… a match for people living in what is Nigeria today”.
/technologyAlibaba launches Qwen-Image text-to-image model

/technologyMicrosoft introduces Copilot Mode in Edge
It adds easy access to Copilot through the browser bar icon or new tab page, voice control, multi-task context, and more. Currently free and opt-in; that's likely to change in future, I imagine.
/technologyIntroducing Runway Aleph, “a new way to edit, transform and generate video”
Curious to know if this is a new model or a combination of existing features such as References and First-Frame Restyle.

/technologyMoonvalley launched Marey, a ‘clean’ video model
It's trained on licensed data, and aimed at professionals. My results have been… well, let's generally say ‘mixed’ (but actually they've been mostly poor). I hope it improves quickly because I really want this to succeed.
