Welcome to todayās roundup
AI adoption is surging on every front. Google Searchās AI summaries now reach twoāÆbillion people each month while OpenAI is pouring gigawatts of new compute into a giant Texas dataācenter project. DeepMind has an ancientāhistory helper that can date and patch broken Latin inscriptions, Google is seeding AI video tools in Photos and YouTube Shorts, GitHub is giving every openāsource dev a free inference API, and Proton has launched a fully encrypted chatbot for privacyāminded users. Read on for the details.

1. Google AI Overviews tops twoāÆbillion users
Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai told investors that the AI Overviews feature, which puts a generated summary at the top of many Google Search results, now logs twoāÆbillion monthly users across two hundred countries. Geminiās standalone app has grown to 450āÆmillion monthly users and the chatāstyle AIāÆMode inside Search already counts more than 100āÆmillion users in the United States and India. Google says DeepāÆSearch and more personalized answers are ācoming soon,ā and notes that developers have issued nineāÆmillion Gemini API keys while public Veoāpowered tools have produced over seventyāÆmillion videos since May.

2. OpenAI and Oracle add 4.5āÆgigawatts to the Stargate project
OpenAI confirmed a new agreement with Oracle that will build 4.5āÆGW of additional dataācenter capacity in Abilene, Texas, pushing the total under development past fiveāÆgigawatts and powering more than twoāÆmillion AI chips. The expansion is part of OpenAIās promise to invest 10āÆGW of U.S. infrastructure worth roughly 500āÆbillion dollars within four years and is expected to create about 100,000 construction and operations jobs. The company says the first racks of Nvidia GB200 GPUs are already online and training nextāgen frontier models.

3. DeepMindās Aeneas helps historians read lost Roman inscriptions
The Aeneas system was trained on nearly 200,000 Latin inscriptions, totaling sixteenāÆmillion characters, so it can guess missing words, pinpoint an inscriptionās province among sixtyātwo Roman territories, and date a fragment to within about thirteen years. In testing with twentyāthree scholars, Aeneas provided useful context nine times out of ten and even offered credible dates for the ResāÆGestaeāÆDiviāÆAugusti imperial monument. Researchers say the model could democratize epigraphy by replacing years of manual crossāreferencing with instant suggestions.

4. AI video tools reach Google Photos and YouTube Shorts
Starting today, U.S. users of Google Photos on Android and iOS can turn a single picture into a sixāsecond AI video clip by choosing prompts like āSubtle movements,ā while YouTube Shorts creators in the U.S., Canada, Australia and NewāÆZealand get a similar generator with flexible clip lengths. All outputs carry SynthID watermarks, and Photos will soon add a Remix feature that converts images into styles such as anime or 3āD animation inside a new Create tab. Google warns results are experimental and invites thumbsāup or thumbsādown feedback.

5. GitHub Models offers a free inference endpoint for open source
GitHubās new Models service gives every user a noācost, OpenAIācompatible API that hosts popular models like GPTā4o and LlamaāÆ3. Openāsource maintainers can swap a single baseURL in their code so contributors no longer need paid keys or heavyweight local models. The free tier works in any environment, including GitHub Actions, while a metered paid tier unlocks higher rate limits and 128ākātoken contexts. GitHub says the goal is to remove the ālast mileā barrier that keeps hobbyists from trying AIāpowered tools.

6. Proton launches Lumo, an endātoāend encrypted chatbot
Privacyāfocused Proton, maker of ProtonāÆMail and ProtonāÆVPN, has introduced Lumo, a chat assistant that secures every conversation with zeroāaccess encryption so only the userās device can read the content. Lumo runs on openāsource models hosted on Protonās European servers, defaults to privacyāfriendly search, and will analyze files stored in ProtonāÆDrive without leaving encrypted storage. The free plan allows up to one hundred interactions a week, and the twelveādollarāninetyānineācent LumoāÆPlus tier removes that cap and adds advanced features.
