Hey there! Shinky here, making AI simple, useful, and powerful for you.

When ChatGPT kept hallucinating that Soundslice, a guitar-learning app, had a dedicated music player, it didn’t. But instead of fighting the fiction, founder Adrian Holovaty turned myth into reality and built it for real. This twist shows how AI’s quirks can spark real-world innovation who knew a chatbot’s “lie” could tune up an entire business?

TODAY IN WORLD OF AI

🧭Perplexity’s “Comet”: The AI browser era is here

“Search is dead, long live the AI co-pilot for your web.”

Perplexity just launched Comet, an AI-powered browser that promises to make your old-school search bar feel obsolete overnight.

Instead of typing keywords, getting ten blue links, and opening tabs like it’s 2010, Comet acts more like an always-on research assistant: it reads pages for you, summarizes on the fly, curates sources, and even answers questions contextually as you browse.

Why this matters for knowledge workers and founders:

1️⃣ Browsing becomes doing. The future isn’t just about finding info faster, it’s about acting on it immediately. Fewer tabs, more insights.

2️⃣ Trust beats noise. Comet aims to show verifiable sources, not SEO spam. Expect the pressure on content creators to shift from clickbait to real value.

3️⃣ The real moat? UX + AI synergy. It’s not just the model, it’s the tight integration of search, reading, and synthesis that gives tools like Comet an edge.

If “the browser” is the new AI frontier, the winners won’t just serve pages, they’ll co-pilot our entire web experience.

EVERYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO KNOW

🤖Upended: Hugging Face just unveiled a pint-sized $299 robot that’s poised to upend the entire robotics landscape. By slashing the entry price for tinkering bots, they’re turning sci-fi into a weekend DIY project. Could this democratize robotics like Raspberry Pi did for computing? Bet on it.

🌐Clash: Cloudflare is boldly urging Google to tweak how its AI bots crawl the web but Mountain View’s not exactly eager to play along. This brewing standoff shines a spotlight on the new power struggles shaping the AI search era.

💰Poached: Meta just poached Ruoming Pang, a top Apple AI expert, dangling a staggering $200M package to lure him over. It’s a brazen move that shows just how high the stakes are in Silicon Valley’s talent arms race. If AI is gold, top minds like Pang are the new gold miners.

💸Titanic: Nvidia’s market value just soared past $4 trillion - yes, trillion eclipsing the entire GDP of the UK. It’s a jaw-dropping milestone that cements CEO Jensen Huang’s chip empire as AI’s kingmaker.

AI SPECIAL EDITION

🧩OpenAI drops “O3 mini”: The open-source arms race heats up

“When the big players open their smallest models - pay attention.”

OpenAI just quietly rolled out O3 Mini, its newest open-weight language model, free for developers to tinker with, tweak, and build on.

On the surface, it’s just a “mini” smaller than GPT-4 Turbo, designed for lightweight tasks and local deployments. But the bigger signal is clear: OpenAI is feeling the heat from open-source rivals like Meta’s LLaMA and Mistral.

Why this matters for builders?

1️⃣ More open = more innovation. An open model means startups can fine-tune, localize, or embed AI directly into niche products, no API lock-in.

2️⃣ Edge AI gets a boost. Small, efficient models run cheaper and closer to the user. Think on-device assistants, secure workflows, faster privacy-safe inference.

3️⃣ The real fight is community. OpenAI built its moat on closed APIs, now it’s courting the devs and researchers who love to hack under the hood.

The future won’t be one big model to rule them all. It’ll be an ecosystem of open, specialized, and hybrid models that founders mix and match like Lego.

AI PROMPT OF THE DAY
