Welcome, AI enthusiasts.
X (or formally Twitter) has always been a go-to source for breaking news and real-time updates, but Elon Musk's latest Grok feature just took things to a new level.
With new AI-powered ‘Stories’ curated and crafted from X posts, Elon is betting big on AI to revolutionize the way we stay informed. Let’s explore…

The Rundown: Elon Musk just shared his plan to use AI to summarize news events and social media reactions on X, also rolling out a new ‘Stories’ feature to provide users with real-time, accurate information.
The details:
X's AI chatbot, Grok, will analyze thousands of posts to generate news summaries that update as new information becomes available.
The summaries will rely solely on X posts and commentary, not the text of news articles themselves, making the approach distinct from other AI summarizers.
Grok's news summaries, called "Stories," are currently available only to X's premium subscribers — with a broader rollout expected later.
While Grok doesn't cite sources well yet, Musk says better citations are coming, allowing users to dive deeper into published stories.
Why it matters: Between Grok’s AI-curated news and OpenAI’s media deals, the way news is consumed and gathered is about to change. With X/Twitter acting as a primary news source for users across the world, managing issues like hallucination, bias, and misinformation will be key in the feature's early innings.

MUSIC & AI

The Rundown: Country music star Randy Travis just released his first new song in over a decade, using AI to recreate his voice years after a stroke left him unable to speak or sing.
The details:
Travis's new song "Where That Came From" was made by training an AI model on past recordings to generate a voice clone.
The voice clone was then layered over guide vocals provided by another singer to craft the track.
The 65-year-old Country Music Hall of Fame inductee suffered a near-fatal stroke in 2013 that severely impacted his speech.
Why it matters: While the use of AI in music has sparked both excitement and controversy, Travis’ song is a good example of the tech’s potential to unlock new creative possibilities — even for those who may no longer have the ability to physically sing.
AI TRAINING
The Rundown: OpenAI has rolled out a new feature called “Memory” for ChatGPT plus users, enabling it to remember specific user details across chats.
Step-by-step:
Head over to ChatGPT. You need a Pro account to enable this feature.
Click on your account name (bottom-left), select Settings, Personalization, and enable Memory.
Teach ChatGPT to remember specific details by explicitly stating them in the chat, e.g., “Remember that I am vegetarian when you recommend a recipe.”
Manage your memories by clicking the “Manage” button located in the Memory section to view, edit, or delete specific memories.
That’s it! You can now have more personalized conversations across all your conversations 🎉

AI RESEARCH

The Rundown: Nvidia researchers just introduced DrEureka, an AI system that uses LLM agents to automate the process of training robot skills in simulations and transferring them to the real world.
The details:
DrEureka writes code to teach robot skills in simulations, then ensures skills work well when transferred to physical robots.
The system trained a simulated robot dog to balance and walk on a yoga ball, with the task then transferred successfully to a real robot in testing.
DrEureka uses LLMs’ physics knowledge to adjust parameters like friction and gravity, automating the time-consuming process of adapting to the real world.
Why it matters: Enabling AI to oversee and improve the robot learning process will massively accelerate advanced robotic deployments, while also reducing the need for human experts in the loop. DrEureka allows robots to become much more capable learners — tackling difficult tasks in a fraction of the time.
