🚫 Google blocks Gemini access via OpenClaw after OpenAI acquisition

Less than a week after OpenAI acquired OpenClaw, Google started cutting off access to Gemini and Antigravity subnoscriptions connected through OpenClaw OAuth. Affected users report account bans without warning.

Google says the issue is ToS violations linked to token use inside a third party product. Many users had connected Gemini models to OpenClaw through OAuth, which works as a proxy layer sending requests to Google services.

After Google flagged malicious use of Antigravity backend services and banned related accounts, OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger said he may remove Gemini OAuth support entirely and called Google’s response “draconian.”

AI week has begun 🍿

Mentions of a new “Pro Lite” plan priced at $100 per month were found in ChatGPT’s code. No details about features or limits have been disclosed.

The pricing suggests a mid tier between the $20 Plus plan and the $200 Pro plan.

It appears aimed at users who need more than Plus but do not require the full Pro package.

📊 Only ~2.5M people use AI for coding out of 8.1B

A viral chart maps global AI usage. Each dot equals about 3.2M people.

🔸 ~6.8B have never used AI
🔸 ~1.3B use free chatbots
🔸 ~15–25M pay $20 per month
🔸 ~2.5M use AI for coding

The group using AI to write code is a rounding error at global scale.

If you are already building with it, you are operating in a very small cohort.

📱 Tecno revives modular phone concept with magnetic add-ons

Tecno unveiled a modular smartphone concept it plans to showcase at MWC 2026. The base device is 4.9 mm thin and works on its own, with modules attaching magnetically to the back.

Unlike Google’s Project Ara, the modules do not replace internal components. They connect via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and mmWave, acting as smart accessories. Even with a 4.5 mm power bank attached, total thickness stays close to a typical flagship.

The rear panel has eight modular zones, with around ten modules shown so far, including an action camera, a telephoto lens that uses the phone display as a viewfinder, and a module for off-grid communication.

Tecno calls it a long term design project, with no release date or pricing announced.

🤖 Perplexity launches “Computer” multi-agent system in $200 Max plan

Perplexity introduced Perplexity Computer, a multi-agent system designed to handle long, compound tasks. It is available only in the $200 per month Max plan and currently works on desktop web.

Users submit a prompt, and Computer splits it into subtasks. Different agents collect data, draft reports or presentations, and call APIs from connected services like Gmail, GitHub and Notion.

Opus 4.6 appears to act as the main orchestrator, assigning specific tasks to models from OpenAI, xAI or Google when needed. Multi-model coordination is positioned as the core feature.

🗡️ Ultrasonic knife enters the consumer kitchen at $400

Seattle Ultrasonics’ C-200 is now on the mass market, and Engadget reviewed it after a month of use. The knife costs $400, or $500 with the recommended magnetic wireless charger.

Inside the handle is a piezo element that makes the blade vibrate 33,000 times per second.

🔸 The effect reduces cutting effort by up to 50%.

🔸 The blade is triple layered AUS-10 steel with a 13° edge per side.

🔸 The knife weighs 328 g and runs about 20 minutes per charge.

Reviewers report cleaner cuts on dense foods like pork belly and tuna, with less sticking to the blade. It can overheat after 15+ minutes of continuous use and shut off briefly.

Ultrasound has moved from lab tech into premium kitchen hardware.

🤖 Google brings Gemini task automation to Android phones

Google is rolling out AI task automation in Android. On Pixel 10 and upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 devices, Gemini will be able to open apps and perform actions on behalf of the user.

A user can ask Gemini to order an Uber to the airport. Gemini launches the app in a virtual window, selects the ride details and prepares the booking, with final confirmation left to the user. If choices are needed, it asks. At launch, Uber and Grubhub are supported.

The feature will become part of Android 17. Gemini 3 powers the system, navigating app interfaces through reasoning and simulated clicks, with optional developer frameworks to streamline integration.

🎬 Belgian duo turns AI parody ad into 7M views for AiCandy

AiCandy, founded in 2025, broke out after two Belgian creators released a 40 second AI generated ad.

The video aged Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Sam Altman and promoted “Energym,” a fictional 2036 fitness club where unemployed people pedal to power the AI that replaced them.

The clip reached 5M views across social platforms. A U.S. senator commented on X that it “doesn’t look like a parody.”

Within a day, the creators received a job offer from The Dor Brothers and multiple collaboration requests.

One short AI video pushed a small studio into global feeds.

📈 New benchmark ranks LLMs on ability to push back on bad prompts

A new benchmark measures how often language models recognize nonsense in a prompt instead of going along with it.

The chart shows three outcomes: green means the model flagged the issue, yellow means partial objection, red means it complied.

Most of the Claude family scored highest on detecting flawed or misleading prompts.

📺 Casio built a pocket TV back in 1986

In 1986, Casio released the Pocket TV-200, a portable television that ran on 2 AA batteries for about 2–3 hours.

The device used a natural light system. Light passed through a monochrome LCD matrix, and the final image was reflected onto a mirror inside the unit.

Long before smartphones, Casio was already experimenting with handheld screens powered by simple hardware.

⭕️ Anthropic adds 1-minute memory transfer to Claude

Anthropic introduced a simple way to move long-term memory from another AI into Claude. The update comes as more users switch from ChatGPT to Claude.

Users can export saved context from their previous assistant and paste it into Claude’s memory settings. The process takes about a minute and avoids re-explaining preferences or project details.

Anthropic provides a ready-made prompt to use in ChatGPT or Gemini, then asks users to copy the response into Claude.
