⚡️ OpenAI releases GPT-5.2 with major gains in reasoning and coding

OpenAI has launched GPT-5.2, an upgraded model that delivers substantial improvements in coding, mathematics, long-context reasoning, and image understanding.

🔸 On benchmarks, GPT-5.2 hits 100% on AIME 2025 (up from 94% in GPT-5.1) and reaches 80% on SWE-bench Verified (versus 76.3% for 5.1), marking some of the model’s strongest performance jumps to date.

🔸 OpenAI continues to compare its new model only to earlier internal versions not rivals but based on public metrics, GPT-5.2 appears to edge ahead of Google’s Gemini 3 Pro in several categories.

🔸 In ChatGPT, GPT-5.2 Instant, Thinking, and Pro begin rolling out today, with the API already available. Pricing has increased slightly from GPT-5.1 and GPT-5.

GPT-5.2 signals a real competitive push from OpenAI, the kind of leap that only intense pressure from peers can produce.

🥸 What your browser secretly leaks and the tools to uncover it

A handful of inspection tools can show exactly what information your browser exposes every time you load a webpage from fingerprints to tracking vectors you didn’t know existed.

🔸 Browserleaks gives a full snapshot of everything your browser reveals by default, from IP metadata to canvas fingerprints.

🔸 CreepJS evaluates how uniquely identifiable your setup is, showing how easy it is to track you across sessions.

🔸 Cover Your Tracks tests how well your browser resists fingerprinting and whether privacy protections are actually working.

🔸 FingerprintJS demonstrates how websites identify visitors and highlights the specific attributes your browser leaks.

🔸 WebBrowserTools offers a suite of lightweight tests for checking privacy, fingerprint resistance, and general security posture.

Use these tools and you’ll know exactly what slips through, before anyone else does.

✈️ Riyadh Air wants to become the world’s first fully AI-native airline built from day one

Saudi Arabia’s new national carrier, Riyadh Air, says it has been designed entirely around artificial intelligence, positioning itself as one of the most technologically ambitious airline launches in decades.

🔸 The airline is being built AI-first from scratch, rather than retrofitting legacy systems. Every employee will operate inside a personalized digital workplace centered on an AI chat interface that supports daily operations and decision-making.

🔸 For flight crews, AI systems will deliver real-time insights into passenger preferences, enabling more tailored onboard service. Voice control, automated planning, budgeting, and live demand forecasting are already embedded across operations.

🔸 Riyadh Air says initial flights have already begun, with full commercial service planned for early 2026. By 2030, the airline aims to connect 100+ destinations worldwide, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 aviation push.

🔸 The project took three years to develop with IBM Consulting and integrates 59 core workflows across more than 60 technology partners, including Adobe, Apple, FLYR, and Microsoft.

If it executes as planned, Riyadh Air won’t just be a new airline, it could become a real-world test of whether AI-native operations can outperform traditional aviation models at global scale.

🚀 With iOS 26.2, Apple adds new control to roll back Liquid Glass on the Lock Screen

Apple has begun rolling out iOS 26.2, a point update that gives iPhone users more control over the company’s controversial Liquid Glass design and introduces a set of functional improvements across the system.

🔸 The headline change in iOS 26.2 lets users adjust the transparency of the Lock Screen clock introduced with Liquid Glass, the translucent interface style Apple rolled out earlier this year. This new slider is part of Apple’s continued response to user feedback that some Liquid Glass effects made elements harder to read.

🔸 Beyond design tweaks, iOS 26.2 includes a variety of feature updates. Users can now create one-time AirDrop codes to share content with people not in their contacts, add alarms in the Reminders app, and view Apple Music lyrics offline. The update also brings enhancements to Podcasts, navigation refinements in Apple News, and updated sleep metrics for Apple Watch users.

🔸 The broader iOS 26 series has included iterative adjustments to Liquid Glass since its introduction, including previous opacity sliders and tinted options, as Apple balances its new design language with readability and usability concerns.

This latest release aims to refine the user experience with practical controls and feature improvements that respond to user feedback while maintaining Apple’s design direction.

🔒Google Translate will add real-time translation for wireless headphones

Google is preparing a major update to Google Translate that will enable real-time speech translation through wireless headphones, bringing hands-free, conversational translation to everyday use.

🔸 The feature will work similarly to Apple’s live translation tools, instantly playing translated speech in the user’s headphones as another person speaks a different language.

🔸 Powering the upgrade is Google’s Gemini model, which can understand and translate up to 70 languages, including Russian.

🔸 Unlike some competing solutions, Google’s implementation will not require dedicated or branded hardware. The company says the feature will work with any wireless headphones.

🔸 Google plans to roll out the real-time headphone translation feature in 2026.

The move positions Google Translate for more natural, real-world conversations and could significantly expand how people use translation tools in travel, work, and daily communication.

👓 China’s Li Auto just unveiled smart glasses that control your car

Chinese EV maker Li Auto (Lixiang) has introduced its own pair of smart glasses designed to act as a remote control and AI interface for its vehicles, expanding the company’s in-car ecosystem beyond the dashboard.

🔸 Through Li Auto’s Lixiang Livis system, users can summon their car from a parking lot, open the trunk, pre-cool or heat the cabin, and manage other vehicle functions directly from the glasses.

🔸 The glasses also double as a first-person camera, with Sony image sensors built into the frame, allowing drivers to record hands-free POV video.

🔸 An AI assistant is integrated into the device, enabling voice commands and contextual assistance while on the move.

🔸 Li Auto claims the glasses offer up to 19 hours of battery life, positioning them as an all-day wearable rather than a short-use gadget.

The launch underscores how Chinese EV makers are increasingly blending cars, AI, and wearables into a single platform, turning vehicles into extensions of personal computing rather than standalone machines.

🌐 A browser that builds apps instead of showing links

Instead of returning a list of blue links, Disco turns your search query into a working mini-app, generating tools, maps, and calculators on the fly based on what you’re trying to do.

🔸 Ask Disco to plan a trip to Japan, and it creates an interactive route map with attractions. Say you’re moving cities, and it assembles a weight calculator and carrier price comparison tailored to your move.

🔸 Disco is an experimental browser from the Chrome team, born out of an internal Google hackathon and now rolling out publicly through Chrome Labs.

🔸 The browser is built around GenTabs, a concept where the Gemini AI interprets your request, opens relevant websites in the background, and stitches their information into a personalized, task-specific app.

🔸 The system works both ways: if you open a hotel or article in a neighboring tab, GenTab pulls that data in automatically and updates your plan.

🔸 Early versions struggled because users ignored links shown inside chat and kept talking to the bot. The team fixed this by having the browser itself open sources, nudging users to actually explore the web and early data suggests it worked.

🔸 Big questions remain unanswered, including whether GenTabs can be saved, shared, or exported to tools like Google Docs. Even the team admits these decisions haven’t been made yet.

Disco isn’t meant to replace Chrome, it’s a standalone experiment testing whether the future of the web lies in temporary, AI-assembled apps built for a single task, then discarded.
