A few years ago, humanoid robots could barely stay on their feet. Now they're getting their own Olympics.

That says a lot about how quickly the AI world is moving. What feels experimental today keeps finding its way into the real world tomorrow.

Here's what else happened in AI while you were busy.

Games have been one of AI's best testing grounds for years. DeepMind now wants to push that idea much further, moving from Atari and AlphaGo to the enormous, constantly changing world of EVE Online. The goal is to see whether AI agents can learn, remember, plan for the long term, and navigate complex worlds where the rules and relationships keep changing.

Spirit Airlines is gone, but its data could have a second life inside Google's AI efforts. Google has reportedly offered $10 million for Spirit's operational and employee data in bankruptcy proceedings. The deal has already raised privacy concerns from former flight attendants, who argue that anonymizing the data doesn't eliminate the risks around sensitive employee information.

The first World Humanoid Robot Games had plenty of spectacular crashes. This year, there are 2,056 robots from 666 teams across 16 countries, more than four times the number of robots in the inaugural event. The competition now goes beyond running and soccer, with autonomous races, dexterous hand challenges, table tennis, kickboxing, and real-world tasks such as cleaning, assembly, and emergency rescue.

A few prominent filmmaking creators thought they were showing their audiences where AI video is headed. Instead, the videos triggered a backlash over sponsorship disclosure and the ethics of promoting generative AI tools. The controversy has opened a bigger debate about where creator partnerships end and advertising begins, especially when the creators' own brands are built around traditional filmmaking.

Opening entities in every country can be slow, expensive, and hard to scale.

That's why more companies are using EOR to hire globally faster.

The semester hasn't even started, and Google is already trying to get students organized.

Its new Gemini student experience brings together study notebooks, flashcards, practice quizzes, and other learning tools, while eligible college students can get a Google AI plan free for a year.

The interesting part isn't the free subscription. It's how much Google is trying to turn Gemini into something students use throughout the semester, rather than just when they're stuck on homework.

AI agent skills look simple on the surface. They’re often nothing more than a small set of instructions, but getting them right is where things get interesting.

This video breaks down five practical rules for building better agent skills, including how to write descriptions that actually trigger at the right moment, build skills from real hands-on expertise, keep them lean so they don't waste context, and use deterministic scripts when an AI shouldn't be left to guess. It also covers the security risk of running skills created by strangers, especially when those skills can execute code or access files and API keys.
