Perplexity has unveiled Comet, its new AI-powered browser designed to save creators and professionals hours online by letting them summarise, research, and act directly on webpages — without copying, pasting, or switching tabs.

How it works:

Download Comet for Mac or Windows.

Visit any webpage — a Twitter/X thread, blog, or YouTube video — and click the Assistant button in the top right.

Ask questions or give direct commands like:

  1. “Summarise this thread.”

  2. “Explain this concept in simple terms.”

  3. “Turn this YouTube talk into 3 tweet ideas.”

Review Comet’s AI-generated summaries, posts, or insights — then share or save them instantly.

Pro tip:
Use Comet on long-form YouTube videos, research papers, or product pages to extract key takeaways in seconds, then follow up with deeper queries right in the same window.

Why it matters:
Comet marks a big step in Perplexity’s mission to turn browsing into doing — moving beyond search into an era where the web is interactive, contextual, and actionable. Whether you’re a content creator, marketer, or researcher, Comet’s AI engine helps you get from information to output—faster than ever.

🧠 OpenAI Hires a Physicist to Drive Science-AI Fusion

OpenAI has taken a bold step into scientific discovery by recruiting leading theoretical physicist Alex Lupsasca — known for his work on black holes — as the first academic researcher for its new initiative OpenAI for Science. 

Here’s what you should know:

The initiative blends cutting-edge AI models with science tools, positioning itself as a next-generation scientific instrument to accelerate progress in physics, math and beyond. 

Lupsasca reported that using the model GPT‑5 Pro, he solved a physics problem in under 30 minutes—a task that might have taken days. 

OpenAI’s VP of Science, Kevin Weil, says GPT-5 is already showing “limited novel research abilities” across domains, including biology and quantum theory. 

Why it matters:
For years, OpenAI has focused on consumer-facing apps and generative models. This move signals a broader ambition: to lead in scientific discovery as well as chatbots and imaging. It also raises questions about how research-grade AI models will be developed and used — and whether breakthroughs in labs might soon translate into real-world applications.

🌐 Google’s Cloud Gets Quiet Superpowers: Meet Private AI Compute

Image Source: Yahoo News

Google has announced a new milestone in cloud AI with Private AI Compute — a secure “sealed-cloud” environment that brings its most powerful AI models (like Gemini) into the cloud while preserving user data privacy.

Key highlights:

Private AI Compute combines Google’s in-house TPUs and hardware-enforced enclaves (Titanium Intelligence Enclaves / TIE) to process data in isolation, ensuring “no one — not even Google — can access your data.”

The service bridges the gap between powerful cloud AI and on-device privacy. For example, the Pixel 10’s Magic Cue and Recorder apps will instantly gain smarter suggestions and multilingual transcription support by tapping into the cloud securely.

Google describes this as “just the beginning” of the new era: as AI tasks grow more complex, Private AI Compute is set to deliver cloud-scale intelligence without the traditional privacy trade-offs. 

Why it matters:
As AI becomes more embedded in our daily lives, the question of how and where data is processed matters more than ever. With Private AI Compute, Google is making a statement: you can have the muscle of cloud AI and the privacy assurances of on-device processing. For users, this could mean smarter assistants, faster productivity tools and richer features — all without sacrificing control over personal data.
