Google’s Opal entered public beta, letting anyone build no-code mini apps with Gemini AI at the core.

Alibaba’s Qwen3-Coder dropped — a 480B parameter coding model with 256K context length, topping SWE-bench-Verified.

Sahara’s Data Services platform went live, offering $450K in incentives to crowdsource human-labeled data for AI models.

Google reported $15B in server spend last quarter, reflecting explosive demand for AI infrastructure.

Google launches Opal, a ‘vibe-coding’ tool via Google Labs, allowing users to build or remix mini web apps with simple prompts and a visual editor — a direct challenge to Figma, Lovable, and Cursor.
