Googlebot Must Follow Redirects From Homepage To Favicon, Updated Doc Say

AI summary Google Search has revised its favicon guidance, stating that Googlebot needs to crawl a site's home page and trace any redirects leading to the page that declares the favicon. Googlebot-Image must also be able to fetch the icon file itself, and none of these URLs may be blocked through robots.txt or any other method. Google's John Mueller said the wording was changed after the company noticed AI systems struggled to work out how to troubleshoot missing favicons, and testing the new text as a prompt gave much better results.

LFM3 by Liquid AI

AI summary Liquid AI has launched LFM3, the third generation of its Liquid Foundation Models, starting with six 2B-class open-weight models derived from a shared 1.7B base, covering text, vision, speech, combined omni input and decision tasks. The vision-language model is the first in the family to take video, while the audio model supports speech in 18 languages with first-token latency down to 50 ms. Liquid says the text model needs roughly 1 GB at 4-bit precision, offers a 256K context, and decodes 1.8 to 2.8 times faster on devices than the closest rival it tested. Training used 22T tokens, and the weights are on Hugging Face, with support for Ollama, llama.cpp and other runtimes.

Google Privacy Update Lets Connected Apps Shape AI Mode Ads

AI summary Google revised its privacy policy, effective October 16, so that content from Gmail, Drive and Google Photos can inform personalized ads when users link those apps to services such as Search or Gemini. The change mainly affects people who opt into Personal Intelligence, and Google has begun testing ads in AI Mode for them. Advertisers get no access to inboxes or photo libraries, no new targeting options and no dedicated reporting, while sensitive categories like health and religion remain excluded. Users can opt out through My Ad Center or by disconnecting the apps in their Google Account settings.

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.

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.
