Google's AI meeting notetaker is no longer limited to Google Meets - Gemini can also generate summaries and transcripts of in-person meetings now, as well as meetings on Zoom and Microsoft Teams, as first reported by 9to5Google.

The feature also works for impromptu meetings - Google says you "don't need to be in a meeting room" or i...

LLM evaluation on feature model analysis using semi-formal blueprints shows reasoning-optimized models (Grok 4, Gemini 2.5 Pro) achieve 88-89% accuracy vs solver oracles.

I’ve been building plugins for Claude Code, and the first version of the idea was very Claude-focused. That made sense at the start. Claude Code has a real plugin model, hooks are useful, and it is one of the few agent tools where plugins can actually become part of a daily workflow.

There’s a fault line running through enterprise AI, and it’s not the one getting the most attention. The public conversation still tracks foundation models and benchmarks—GPT versus Gemini, reasoning scores, and marginal capability gains. But in practice, the more durable advantage is structural: who owns the operating layer where intelligence is applied, governed, and improved.…
