The system overlays text, images, and AI responses onto the right lens via micro-projector and waveguide, delivering real-time translation and captions for hands-free use. The Neural Band includes electromyography sensors enabling navigation through finger movements; no voice prompts needed. Key specs include a 12-MP ultra-wide camera, open-ear audio, and up to six hours of active use (roughly 30 hours with the charging case). Frames come in sun/clear lenses and are prescription-ready. Demos at Best Buy precede purchase, as Meta leans on tactile, in-store discovery to ease adoption of high-tech eyewear with Best Buy as the exclusive large-format retailer.
October 14, 2025, 11:55 AM EDT. Vivo unveils the X300 series in China with a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display, 7.95 mm thickness and 190 g weight. It runs on MediaTek Dimensity 9500 with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage up to 1 TB, plus an enhanced thermal system for sustained AI and gaming. A key feature is Vivo's Cross-Device Ecosystem, enabling seamless interaction with Apple devices-iPhone calls/SMS/notifications, iPad file sharing, Mac clipboard/screen projection, Apple Watch health data, and AirPods battery/location display (some features may require a China-registered Apple ID). Pricing in China spans ¥4,399-¥5,799 for 12/16 GB RAM and 256 GB-1 TB storage. Available in four colors; global availability expected in November 2025.
October 14, 2025, 11:53 AM EDT. Learn how to transform ad-hoc AI exploration into a repeatable, reliable engineering practice using a three-layer framework built on Markdown prompt engineering, agent primitives, and context engineering. This GitHub Blog guide explains how agent primitives act as reusable building blocks that grant AI agents clear instructions and capabilities, while context engineering ensures agents focus on the right information. The approach, part of an AI-native development workflow, aims to make AI systems more reliable, predictable, and scalable. It also highlights practical tooling like the GitHub Copilot CLI to run, debug, and automate workflows locally, connected to repositories, pull requests, and issues. Learn how to design, scale, and share intelligent systems that learn and improve with every use.
October 14, 2025, 11:52 AM EDT. Google Photos is testing a new album chip that appears when viewing a photo in an album. In version 7.49, tapping the chip jumps to the corresponding album; if a photo sits in multiple albums, a dropdown lists all locations. This keeps album membership front and center and could save time when organizing large libraries. The same update also appears to add an opt-in setting for notifications about new tools or templates. Neither change is live yet, but they were unlocked in the latest release, hinting at a public rollout soon. As always with APK teardowns, features may be previewed and not reach everyone.
October 14, 2025, 11:49 AM EDT. DJI has filed an appeal with a U.S. federal appellate court to overturn a District of Columbia ruling that upheld its inclusion on the DoD's CMC list of Chinese military companies. DJI first appeared on the list in 2022 without public explanation and has repeatedly sought clarifications. The company sued the DoD in October 2024; in September 2025, a DC court found that most of the DoD's allegations lacked evidence but left DJI on the list, citing DJI's certification as a National Enterprise Technology Center by China's NDRC as indicating potential dual-use applications. DJI's new appeal, filed Oct. 14, argues the ruling is flawed and seeks to defend its reputation and legitimate interests, reiterating that it opposes misuse and has measures to prevent it.
