AI Tool Tracks Harmful Algal Blooms

Amazon SageMaker AI Supports OpenAI API

Amazon SageMaker AI now supports OpenAI-compatible API for real-time inference endpoints. This means users can invoke models on SageMaker AI by changing only their endpoint URL. This change matters because it allows users to run AI models on dedicated GPU instances in their own account. They can host multiple models on a single SageMaker AI endpoint using inference components. Each model gets its own resource allocation and is callable through the same OpenAI SDK. Users can now create time-limited bearer tokens for their endpoints and use them with OpenAI clients. This makes it easier to deploy and invoke AI models without needing custom clients or code rewrites. New AI applications will be built using this feature.

Google Launches Gemini 3.5 Flash

Google launched Gemini 3.5 Flash, a new model that combines frontier intelligence with action. Gemini 3.5 Flash is generally available and delivers intelligence that rivals large flagship models at fast speeds. It outperforms Gemini 3.1 Pro on coding and agentic benchmarks. This matters because it can help developers complete tasks in a fraction of the time, often at less than half the cost of other frontier models. Gemini 3.5 Flash will help developers build and create new applications faster and more efficiently.

DelivMeds AI Formed in $4 Billion Deal

Datavault AI and Wellgistics Health formed DelivMeds AI in a deal worth $4 billion. The new company will connect 6500 pharmacies and 200 manufacturers to improve healthcare data management and pharmaceutical delivery. It will also use biometric verification and AI-enabled drones for diagnostics and delivery. DelivMeds AI will launch its Health Lives Here program in North Carolina in July 2026.

Google AI Search Usage Doubles Every Quarter

Google started testing AI Mode for search over a year ago and it now has more than 1 billion monthly users. AI Mode usage has been doubling every quarter since its launch. The number of searches is increasing because AI Mode invites a conversational experience and each follow-up query counts as a search. More than one in six searches in the US now use voice or images, with image searches growing over 40% month-over-month. Google will continue to expand its AI search features to change the way people search.

DeepSeek Launches AI Code Agent, Competing Directly With Claude Code and Codex

DeepSeek is ramping up its artificial intelligence efforts with the launch of a new team in Beijing dedicated to developing an AI code agent called "Deepseek Code." This new tool aims to directly compete with established players like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. The company is seeking candidates with expertise in agent loops, MCP, and context engineering, as well as those who are already familiar with existing coding tools. The move marks a significant step for DeepSeek in the AI-powered coding space, which has seen rapid growth over the past year. While OpenAI's Codex and Anthropic's Claude Code have dominated this niche market, DeepSeek is betting on its engineering prowess to carve out a unique position. The company plans to leverage its Beijing team's technical expertise to build a system that can understand, generate, and optimize code with unprecedented accuracy. As the competition heats up, industry watchers are curious about how DeepSeek's offering will differentiate itself from the pack. With major players already in the game, DeepSeek's success will depend on its ability to innovate while addressing the specific needs of developers and researchers. Stay tuned for updates as this promising new entrant carves out its place in the AI coding landscape.
