Meta and Google both just shipped new models, with Mark Zuckerberg pitching Meta’s Muse Spark 1.3 as “frontier performance almost too cheap to meter,” and Google’s Gemini 3.8 Flash showing a stronger bounce-back from its 2026 struggles. Spark 1.3 (Max) comes in at a 62 on AA’s Intelligence Index, now trailing only Claude Fable 5.1 and Opus 5 despite being significantly cheaper to use.

How Jennifer Aniston’s LolaVie brand grew sales 40% with CTV ads

For its first CTV campaign, Jennifer Aniston’s DTC haircare brand LolaVie had a few non-negotiables. The campaign had to be simple. It had to demonstrate measurable impact. And it had to be full-funnel.

LolaVie used Roku Ads Manager to test and optimize creatives — reaching millions of potential customers at all stages of their purchase journeys. Roku Ads Manager helped the brand convey LolaVie’s playful voice while helping drive omnichannel sales across both ecommerce and retail touchpoints.

The campaign included an Action Ad overlay that let viewers shop directly from their TVs by clicking OK on their Roku remote. This guided them to the website to buy LolaVie products.

Discover how Roku Ads Manager helped LolaVie drive big sales and customer growth with self-serve TV ads.

The DTC beauty category is crowded. To break through, Jennifer Aniston’s brand LolaVie, worked with Roku Ads Manager to easily set up, test, and optimize CTV ad creatives. The campaign helped drive a big lift in sales and customer growth, helping LolaVie break through in the crowded beauty category.

The Justice Department backed OpenAI as a national security interest in the NYT copyright suit. Government lawyers filed in the New York Times case, the first time the US has entered an AI training lawsuit. The filing said the country would fall behind rivals abroad if the court ruled against OpenAI.

Claude Commerce Agents splits the job across two separate agents standing on opposite sides of the counter. The shopping agent lives inside a store's app and searches the catalog, compares options, remembers what a customer said months ago, builds the cart and answers questions about orders and refunds in the same conversation.

A new feature lets users ask Alexa for Shopping to verify whether a message actually came from Amazon by checking it "against a record of every message Amazon has sent."

Turns out Uber decided seven layers of management was about four too many. The ridesharing giant is cutting roughly 3,300 jobs, 10% of global headcount, shrinking its manager ranks by 20% and halving teams that had only one or two members. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi's internal email blamed complexity from years of growth. Remote work is going away too, for all but 1% of staff.

Here's what's happening with the Groundfloor Preferred Note: while the market moves on headlines, this rate doesn't move once you commit. Lock in a 7% fixed annualized return over a defined 6-month term, paid out monthly — income that isn't tied to earnings surprises, rate cuts, or the next correction. Groundfloor has a 100% repayment track record on Notes since launching them in 2018, and has paid out over $38M in Notes interest alone. New investors get a $100 bonus when they get started.
