The Latest in AI

When AI Plays Games…

Remember when AI was just beating us at chess? Microsoft's new model is taking things to a whole new level…

Microsoft Research just introduced Muse, a first-of-its-kind AI model that can generate game environments, predict player actions, and react to in-game events.

Is Game Development About to Change… Forever?

  • The First “World and Human Action Model” (WHAM): Muse can generate both gameplay visuals and controller actions, making it the first AI model to simulate an interactive game world.

  • Muse is trained on over seven years of gameplay (talk about extensive).

  • Currently, Muse can only generate visuals at 300×180 resolution, far from the 1080p standard, but already a step up from previous AI models in this domain.

So What?

While some worry about AI replacing game devs, Microsoft insists Muse is here to assist, not compete.

Think of it as adding an AI co-pilot to the game development cockpit – one that's played a billion matches but still can't beat you at Bleeding Edge…

How to Use Grok 3’s DeepSearch For Better AI Answers

So Grok 3 got released earlier than we thought, and it’s rolling out to all tiers on X!

And with the model, we got DeepSearch, an agentic search tool that provides more detailed, well-reasoned answers than standard AI responses.

Yes. Just like OpenAI, Gemini, and Perplexity (I told you this trend was here to stay)!

Here’s how you can use it directly on X:

  1. Log into X and open Grok.

  2. Select DeepSearch under the chat box.

  3. Enter your prompt—Grok will scan multiple sources to generate a highly detailed response!

🔥 Pro Tip: Use DeepSearch for research-heavy queries where accuracy and source depth matter.

Convergence Releases Proxy to Surf The Web So You Don’t Have To

Remember when browsing the web meant actually... browsing?

Well, the AI world has other plans. Between OpenAI's Operator and open-source alternatives, we're watching the birth of AI that surfs the web so you don't have to.

And now, Convergence AI just launched Proxy, an autonomous web agent that navigates the internet and completes tasks for you. It offers seamless browsing, software integrations, and task automations.

Here’s how you can automate your browsing with Proxy:

  1. Navigate to the Proxy website.

  2. Type in a task you want automated (like book me a flight to NYC to see the Digestible AI team).

  3. Put your hands in your pockets and let Proxy do the work.

I tested Proxy by trying to order groceries from Whole Foods, and while it was a bit clunky, it’s a good first iteration for them.

Their servers literally crashed yesterday due to traffic overload!

Also, this release is great news for folks in the UK where Operator is not yet available.

The Neural Network

So I can’t believe this happened.

Sam Altman took to X asking what type of open source model the community wants to see.

Talk about a plot twist from OpenAI, but admittedly, they’ve expressed some interest recently with open models.

I guess time will tell… open-source o3-mini would go crazy though…

Until we Type Again…
