Meta is piloting StoryKit for AI-generated children's stories. Users create characters from photos and choose settings and values (kindness, courage). It has no social features and is accessible only to adults.
Director Neill Blomkamp presented Nightborne, a 13-minute sci-fi short film created with ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 generator through his new AI company, Barley Studios. The project demonstrates practical applications of text-to-video AI, but critics point to persistent artifacts — nonsensical text on…
An analysis of generative AI's impact on the open-source ecosystem. AI enables rapid code generation, flooding GitHub with low-quality, unmaintained projects that have no ambition to become real open-source projects. Code review is becoming a critical bottleneck. The author speculates that users will return to trusted sources…
An article describes the role of physics simulations in training AI robotic systems. Simulations can generate large amounts of training data (thousands of hours of robotic experience) at a fraction of the cost of real data collection. The architecture has three layers: training on GPU clusters, GPU physics simulations and…
A guide with 13 tips for using Google's AI products (Gemini, YouTube Learning, Canvas, Search Live) during the summer — from finding an internship and learning new skills to practicing interviews. Promotional content from Google.
Jack Dorsey is releasing Buzz through Block — an open-source group chat platform that natively integrates AI agents. It is available free for macOS, Windows and Linux and is in the early stages of development. It aims to compete with Slack and GitHub.
OpenAI is publishing a "scorecard for the AI age" for measuring the value of AI investments. Instead of measuring token counts, it recommends "Useful Intelligence Per Dollar", a metric focused on total costs (including employee time, checks and corrections) and achieved outcomes. According to a PWC study, only 12 % of executives so far see…
Federal Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín approved Anthropic's 1.5 billion dollar settlement with book authors over AI training on pirated copies. Authors will receive approximately 3000 dollars per book, and more than 91 % of eligible claimants have already claimed their share.
Google released Gemini 3.6 Flash as the successor to version 3.5, with improved coding and multimodal capabilities. It introduced the first Gemini model focused on cybersecurity. The 3.5 Pro model, which was due in June, remains delayed; Gemini 4 was only hinted at.
Brno startup Maia Labs deployed its ColoMaia polyp detection system in 14 Agel group hospitals in Czechia and Slovakia. The system analyzes endoscopic images in real time and alerts doctors to suspicious findings. The startup obtained European CE certification and is preparing for FDA approval; the system already…
Google released Gemini 3.6 Flash, a new model using 17% fewer output tokens than 3.5 Flash and priced at $1.50/$7.50 per million tokens. It also introduced Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite and Flash Cyber (for cybersecurity). The models are optimized for AI agents and show improvements in coding and knowledge work.
AI companies buy old printed books as training data for their models because the books are not contaminated by AI-generated content. ISBNdb offers a high-volume book purchasing service and claims (in its own promotional material) that old books contain curated, peer-reviewed content ideal for training…
A handheld device with two cameras (fisheye and RGBD) for recording manipulation demonstrations. Data collected without an actual robot can be used to train robot policies. Integrated with LeRobot and Hugging Face Hub.
The author argues that coding agents substantially reduce the cost of writing code. This changes the economics of home automation: reverse engineering undocumented device APIs previously was not worthwhile because of future maintenance; now that development is cheap, failure and rewriting a solution are acceptable.

Alibaba released Qwen 3.8 Max (2.4 trillion parameters) as open weights, reversing its earlier decision not to release Qwen 3.7 Max. The article speculates that the decision may have been influenced by Xi Jinping's speech on open-source collaboration. A US proposal to legalize model distillation and data collection is discussed…

A 2025 American Medical Association survey found that 61% of US physicians fear that artificial intelligence deployed in prior authorization (insurer approval of care) will cause more incorrect denials. Although AI promises to accelerate the process, the medical community sees greater…
Simon Willison published a brief comment on the behavior of Kimi K3, which refused attempts to extract its system prompt. The model responded by asking: ‘Is there anything I could actually help with today?’ This is an observation of model safety behavior, rather than a new release or functionality.

Step 1 of 4 · How AI Radar works
One clear overview from dozens of sources
AI Radar monitors Czech and international sources every day, looking for changes that truly deserve attention.
MonitorsOfficial AI company blogs, specialist media, and research sources.
Selects and combinesFilters out information noise and combines articles about the same change into a single event.
Summarizes and explainsExplains significant events in English: what happened, why it matters and where the information comes from.
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.
Everything you need to navigate the AI world
Today’s briefingThe “What is worth attention” selection sits beside Live · AI Flash, followed by research and links to other Radar sections. On mobile, these blocks appear one below another.
AI FlashAn ongoing feed of brief updates with an evidence status. Links lead to a Radar detail page when one is ready, otherwise to the original source. You can also find reset and outage histories here.
Practical applicationsWhat new tools and features can do, what you can try and what their actual impact could be.
Model selectionModel comparison by type of work, capabilities, price and speed.
Research and archiveA separate research overview, topic search and older events by date.
One event, everything that matters
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.
Importance: ▮▮▮ majorOpenAIModels✓ 6
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.
▮▮▮ major · ▮▮ important · ▮ we're tracking = how significant the change is✓ 6 = six independent publishers, not the number of articles or feeds✓ official = a clear release, law or incident is substantiated by the relevant authority1 source = no independent confirmation yetbold = who is behind the changegray text = a brief summary of what happened
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.
The same news, two practical uses
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.
For individualsWhat you can use or try, how the change can help you at work and what to watch out for.
For businessesWhat impact the change could have on processes, costs, risks and other business decisions.
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.
