Amazon Is Gutting Its AI Division After Sustained Failure
AI summary Amazon is cutting back most of its Nova AI models, including text, image and video systems, and reorganizing its AI teams around top-priority goals, according to a Bloomberg report. The shelved models will receive only minimal resources to keep them running. Staff and computing power are being redirected to a single frontier-model project headed by Pieter Abbeel, whose robotics firm Covariant Amazon acquired in 2024. The move follows the closure a week earlier of an 80-person San Francisco office focused on artificial general intelligence research.

Can we trust LLMs to judge whether a research idea is novel?
AI summary Ai2 has published a study called Old Ideas, Novel Problems, along with a benchmark, data and code for testing how well large language models rate the originality of research ideas. Using ICLR 2026 peer reviews, the team assembled 154 high-novelty and 145 lower-novelty human ideas, plus 154 AI-generated ones, and tested six judges including GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.6. A minor prompt change cut GPT-5.4's accuracy on pairs mixing human and generated ideas from 93.5% to 40.9%. A simple Claude Opus 4.6 prompt scored 0.854 macro-F1 for $2.59, beating Sakana AI's AI Scientist (0.772, $82.05) and Idea Novelty Checker (0.642, $30.66).

Our Silly Games
AI summary A creator named Henry has released Our Silly Games (OSG), offering a skill for Claude Code or Codex that lets people produce games simply by describing them. After linking an OSG account to the agent, a finished game is submitted and published on the site within minutes. The platform supplies ready-made leaderboards, phone controls and multiplayer rooms, which Henry said he kept rebuilding for his own projects. Hosting costs nothing for both players and creators.

Genie 4
AI summary Google has introduced Genie 4, a world model that builds explorable virtual 3D environments users can alter in real time through text prompts. The system is natively multimodal, producing music, ambient sound and spoken dialogue together with the world rather than adding audio afterward. It brings improved physics over Genie 3 and is available as a research preview, with some drift expected during long sessions.
Genie 4: A new generation of world simulation
AI summary Genie 4, a new world model from Google DeepMind, builds interactive simulations on the fly and pairs them with generated audio such as music, background sounds and characters talking to each other. It relies on several Gemini models: Gemini Omni makes scenes look and act realistically, while the others keep each simulation consistent. People move around with a keyboard and can type changes, like switching the weather or placing a person in the scene. For now only trusted testers can try this research preview; Google AI Ultra subscribers will later get it through Project Genie, as will early Gemini API and Google AI Studio partners.

Shopify Retires Knowledge Base App, Moves AI Agent Facts To Admin
AI summary Shopify has folded its separate Knowledge Base app into a built-in knowledge base inside Merchant Admin, which supplies AI shopping agents with store details such as return rules and shipping times. A changelog dated October 26 says the old app stops being available after January 15, 2027. Merchants holding over 1,000 facts in the app did not get them migrated and must re-enter what they want to keep before that date, while smaller stores had their facts moved and published automatically. The new page sorts information into ten categories and is capped at 1,000 facts, and published content is exposed to AI apps through the Storefront MCP.
Open For sales
AI summary Open, known for its AI customer support platform, has launched Open for Sales, which turns a single plain-English prompt and a CSV of contacts into an outbound campaign. The tool screens each contact against a target persona, can assign fit scores, and drafts editable follow-up sequences over calls, email and WhatsApp. Replies stay with the same Agent 5 engine that handles support, which the company says averages 77% automation with over 95% accuracy. It integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, Zendesk and other tools, and offers EU data residency and automatic PII redaction.

How AI Is Changing the Pace of Discovery for Millions Living With Dementia
AI summary C-BRAIN, a consortium of 18 institutions led by Dr. Randall Bateman that launched in November 2025, is working with NVIDIA to apply AI to Alzheimer's research, including unpublished and proprietary "dark data" analysed through a hybrid federated setup. It runs 64 on-site NVIDIA data center GPUs plus Microsoft Azure cloud nodes and plans to use BioNeMo and MONAI. Its open source tool OpenScientist finished analyses in minutes that scientists expected to take weeks or months, for under $10 per run, while a second tool, InsightEngine, checks claims against evidence. Worldwide, 57 million people live with dementia.
