💳 Commission Queries //
According to the developer's technical documentation, Telegram intends to charge a commission of less than 5% for withdrawing “Stars” on Fragment. The final fee will depend on the purchase conditions; for example, withdrawing 50 “Stars” in the US will incur a commission of 4.44%.
☝️ This commission is primarily technical—Telegram aims to cover the costs of withdrawal rather than make a profit.
If a developer opts to spend their “Stars” on Telegram Ads instead of withdrawing them, they won't have to pay any commission to Telegram. Moreover, Telegram will compensate the Apple and Google commission fees by providing a 30% bonus.
“Stars” will be available for developers to use for advertising 21 days after they receive them.
Circumventing the payment systems of Apple and Google could lead to Telegram being removed from app stores. Therefore, bots and mini-apps that ignore the “Stars” integration will be blocked.

🦾 Unlocking New Possibilities: The Third Thumb
Scientists at Cambridge University have developed a controllable prosthetic extra thumb, revolutionizing productivity. This robotic thumb → enhances the human hand's capacity for tasks from everyday activities to surgical procedures. Public trials show quick adaptation, with 98% of participants successfully manipulating objects within the first minute.
Invented by Dani Clode, the "third thumb" allows single-handed tasks like opening bottles or peeling bananas. Tested on nearly 600 people at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition, it shows promise for both enhancing productivity and providing new avenues for people with disabilities.

The thickness of our battery is about 0.2 mm, which is about twice the thickness of a human hair,Lee said.
If you cry more, then you can charge your battery more.

Now, let us shed some light on the judging process in this competition. The Telegram Design Team joined forces with the Telegram Contest Department, and each judge spent dozens of hours watching and sorting through all the submissions. Once the judges completed their solo evaluations and highlighted the most promising discoveries, the whole jury met to watch and discuss together all the submissions that were not instantly discarded.
This time they decided to increase the prize fund by $24,000, bringing it to $54,000. Moreover, this is the first contest when the reward system involves payment in USD₮ on TON.
Aside from the initially mentioned core criteria, another important consideration was, "How close is this video to the ones we make for Telegram Blog?"

🐶 AI Cracks the Code of Dog Barks
Researchers from the University of Michigan have developed an innovative AI model → to decode dog barks. By leveraging AI models initially trained on human speech, the team can discern whether a bark signals playfulness, aggression, and even identify the dog's age, breed, and sex.
The study utilized the Wav2Vec2 model, which was fine-tuned with dog barks after being pre-trained on nearly 1,000 hours of human speech. This repurposed model surpassed those trained solely on dog vocalizations, achieving up to 70% accuracy in emotion classification tasks.
The research opens new avenues for understanding animal communication by applying human speech analysis techniques to animal sounds, overcoming the challenge of limited animal vocalization data.
