Meta uses closed-loop liquid cooling for GPU servers in new AI data centers, recirculating a mixture of water and glycol in a closed loop. According to the company, it is more efficient than air cooling in terms of both space and water, and the coolant lasts up to ten years.
In May 2026, a company canceled plans for a 120MW AI data center near Mandoon Bilya in Perth following a campaign by Bibbul Ngarma Aboriginal Association over threats to sacred sites and a water source. Similar disputes are also emerging elsewhere in Australia and in North America.
Police officer Dustin Bozzo from Alpharetta, Georgia, searched the Flock system 56× for the license plate of his former partner and 29× for the license plate of another colleague between March and May 2026. He resigned in August following an internal investigation, and a criminal investigation is underway.
Police in the USA, Canada and UK are deploying AI (ChatGPT for writing reports, facial recognition for identifying people) without regulation. Errors led to an innocent woman spending five months in custody and a teenager nearly being shot because of a bag of chips.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on an earnings call that the company had achieved AGI for many tasks, but immediately afterward described the term as meaningless without a clear definition. He repeated a similar claim from March. OpenAI, Anthropic and other companies use their own, mutually inconsistent definitions.
Google is adding flight price tracking with email alerts (180+ countries), prices displayed in points/miles with selected partners and hotel booking (currently only in the USA, in English) to AI Mode in Search – all without leaving the conversation.
Hugging Face has clarified the capabilities of the Microduck robot, priced at 399 dollars: it can walk, pick up objects, get up after a fall and roller-skate. Behaviors are trained using reinforcement learning in simulation and deployed on the physical machine; the SDK is open source on GitHub.
New: The robot can perform specific behaviors: walking, picking up objects, recovering from a fall and roller-skating; Equipped with a camera, lidar and two inertial measurement units (IMU); Behaviors are trained in simulation, then deployed on the physical robot with the option of fine-tuning; Clem Delangue promotes it on X with a focus on 'democratization of physical AI'; The description emphasizes the role of RL training in creating learnable behaviors
The company Waymo, which currently operates robotaxis in 11 US cities, plans to expand to more than 20 new destinations. According to the source, it is also heading to Europe – first to London, then to Munich as well.
Plaud has launched AI earbuds, Plaud One Explorer Edition, with a built-in 4G modem in the charging case for recording and transcription without a phone. Price: 249.99 dollars, preorders from August 2026, deliveries from September 2026.
Plaud has opened preorders for Plaud One earbuds, whose AI agents connected to Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion and Slack automate tasks after meetings. The case with eSIM enables control of the agents without a phone. Price: 249 dollars, delivery in the 4th quarter of 2026, as part of a limited trial run.
Google DeepMind is piloting the first double-blind evaluation of the proprietary model Gemini Flash Lite in a cryptographically secured environment with partners such as Singapore AI Safety Institute, OpenMined, AVERI and MLCommons to prevent benchmark contamination.
EDB recommends that governance of autonomous AI agents (role-based access, row-level security, masking, audit trail) be enforced directly in the data layer, because relying on the model to follow rules is insufficient, according to the company.
OpenAI is introducing ads on the Free and Go plans of ChatGPT in India – initially for 50 brands through agencies WPP and Omnicom, with its own ad manager from September 2026 and a minimum budget of ₹725/day. The company reports over 100 million weekly active users in India.
Z.ai confirmed that GLM-5.3-Flash (320 billion parameters) runs on 100 000 Chinese AI chips instead of Nvidia GPUs. Released on 26 August 2026 under the MIT license, the model achieves performance close to GLM-5.3 at roughly one-seventh of the price.
New: The model was predicted on 20 August under the codename 'Ox Alpha', officially released on 26 August 2026; It is being deployed on 100 000 Chinese AI chips instead of Nvidia; Temporary price of 0.075 USD per million input tokens (until 9 September), then 0.15 USD; output tokens 0.25 USD/million; Focused on long contexts, agentic tasks and code synthesis
On 27 August 2026, GitHub addressed degraded availability of the Kimi K3 model in Copilot and IDE extensions, caused by an issue at the upstream model provider. The incident lasted roughly two hours and was resolved.
The Mogan AI team released the 149M-parameter Turkish encoder model MoganBert-TR, trained on 237.3 billion tokens using the CLM-to-MLM procedure; it achieves 78.41 points on TrGLUE, the best result among Turkish ModernBERT models. The accompanying smaller embedding model achieves 99.5 % of the performance of the teacher.
Startup Instinct (the company Spear Street Technology) raised $250 million in a Series B round led by Index Ventures and Benchmark, reaching a valuation of $2.5 billion. Total funding is $350 million, and the AI agent from 23-year-old founder Noah Shinn is in private beta and faces privacy concerns.
AI Radar monitors Czech and international sources every day, looking for changes that truly deserve attention.
The result is a quick overview of what has actually changed in the AI world, rather than another stream of articles.
Use the CS/EN switch to read the same Radar in Czech or English. English content is published after its translation has been checked, so new and older items may appear later.
Each row represents one event — not one article. At a glance, you can see its significance, credibility and main point.
Illustrative example, not a current news item.
Agent mode is available to all paying users
Until now, the mode was available only on the highest plan; it is now available on all paid tiers without a waitlist.
The detail page contains a fuller summary, its significance and original sources. Practical impact appears in the detail and the For individuals and For businesses views. An AI Flash item reaches the main selection only after it has been expanded and meets the publication rules.
We first summarize each event in the same way for everyone. Based on those same facts, we then explain what the change means for your own use and what it could mean for how a company operates.
Today’s briefing is the same for everyone. Pages For individuals and For businesses can be found in the main navigation — they select only events relevant to the given use case.
