Big fan of how the GitHub Copilot App handles feature sub-sessions. Being able to launch and manage parallel tasks simultaneously from a single prompt is a game-changer. Check out those 3 sub-sessions running concurrently!

GitHub was built for developers collaborating with developers. But now it needs to be reimagined human-agent collaboration – from UI to UX to AX (agent experience). Our @Kseniase_ has talked to @mariorod1, Chief Product Officer at @github, who has the most clear vision of the

The new canvas feature of the @GitHub Copilot App is pretty 🔥. You can just create any app interface you need on the fly. Here’s a canvas that show all my worktrees for a project & how far they’ve diverged from main.

Microsoft Research introduces Mirage Latent spatial memory stores 3D scenes directly as latent tokens, skipping the costly RGB render-and-reencode loop. The result is up to 10.57x faster video generation, 55x lower memory use, and state-of-the-art consistency on WorldScore.

At least until (if?) rapid improvement stops, it seems less likely someone is going to catch the Big Three AI Labs. Microsoft and Meta released their models, which were fine, but not frontier. SpaceX also hasn’t regained its position. Chinese models are improving, but still lag.

There are no shortcuts to the frontier. Disciplined, patient, meticulous attention to detail is critical. To give everyone a good sense of our progress we’ve published a very detailed technical report (109 pages!) outlining how we trained MAI-Thinking-1 and what we learned along
