Mark Zuckerberg, wearing his Meta Ray Ban glasses, announced the launch of the app, explaining that it was the start of a long journey. The app will also become a tool for managing your Meta Glasses data and features. This will obviously bring up even more data privacy concerns than Facebook usually has to deal with.

Let’s see if they can convince users to give up even more details about their life. Windsurf have announced that their free plan is now far more generous, with 25 prompt credits for premium model usage, unlimited usage of Cascade Base, unlimited fast tab completions, and access to app deploys.

They also updated their logo and you may notice that it’s quite flowing and monochrome. Some would say that it wouldn’t look out of place next to a ChatGPT logo. Are they preparing for an acquisition? Notebook LLM has become multilingual. Its highly popular Audio Overview feature can now translate the content of your notebook into more than 50 languages.

The list includes Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Hindi, Japanese and many more. This is likely to dramatically expand the reach of this great tool. And finally, we were promised flying cars by now, but if we have to settle for Star wars style speeder bikes, then we’ll take it.

A video from the mysterious company Volonaut unveils what seems to be a real world speeder bike dubbed ‘Air Bike’. They say that a launch is coming soon. Of course most people seeing this are super sceptical and believe that the video is fake, which we have to say that it’s making all of our AI senses tingle but we really want to believe it.
