Prime Minister Mark Carney announces Canada's "AI for All" strategy, which commits $350 million to domestic AI institutions including the Vector Institute to develop AI locally in a safe and responsible way.
The post states that AI currently supports 150,000 jobs in Canada while the broader digital economy employs over 800,000 people.
Accompanying photos show Carney at the Vector Institute shaking hands with researchers, reviewing data dashboards, and observing AI-driven systems like flood management technology.

Today we’re introducing Gemma 4 12B — our latest open model that brings advanced agentic reasoning, vision and audio directly to your laptop.
It delivers performance nearing our larger Gemma models with a much smaller total memory footprint, while being small enough to run locally with just 16GB of VRAM. It’s open and accessible for everyone to use under a permissive Apache 2.0 license.
This is all made possible by our new, unified architecture that removes separate multimodal encoders. Here’s how we did it 🧵

A glowing blue ribbon containing multi-modal icons (representing images, text, and audio) flows from the left into a central point, branching out into a complex, luminous blue neural network map on the right.
•Google announced Gemma 4 12B, a new open 12B-parameter multimodal model with native vision, audio, and agentic reasoning capabilities that runs locally on laptops using just 16GB VRAM under Apache 2.0 license.
•It features a unified transformer architecture that removes traditional separate encoders, using lightweight embeddings for images and direct projection of raw audio signals into the model’s text token space for lower latency and memory use.
•Benchmarks show it approaching the performance of larger Gemma models like the 26B, while a demo video highlights practical offline uses such as audio transcription, voice-based text editing, bullet point conversion, email drafting, and translation in Google’s AI Edge app.

•Elon Musk quotes Grok’s announcement to highlight new AI connectors that integrate with email, calendars, Google Drive, slides, and Notion for tasks like fetching urgent messages, summarizing schedules, and locating files.
•The demo video shows Grok responding to natural language queries such as “@Calendar what’s on my schedule today” and “@Gmail what are my most pressing emails today,” delivering organized results in seconds.
•Available across all plans on iOS, Android, and grok.com, the upgrades position Grok as an expanding productivity assistant, drawing high engagement with users testing it for workflow automation and creative tasks.

Yes
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Dutch intelligence estimates over 1.2 million Russian troops have been killed in the Ukraine war.
Kyiv is estimated to have lost over 500,000.
Too many young men have died already; this war needs to stop.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The ~1.2M Russian figure refers to total casualties (killed, wounded, missing)—not deaths. CSIS estimates 250,000–325,000 Russians killed and 100,000–140,000 Ukrainians killed. No Dutch intelligence source confirms these "killed" numbers. csis.org/analysis/russi…
•Elon Musk replies “Yes” to a post by Mario Nawfal highlighting Dutch intelligence estimates of massive casualties in the Russia-Ukraine war, endorsing the view that too many young men have died and the conflict must end.
•Community notes clarify the cited Dutch estimate covers over 1.2 million total Russian casualties (killed and wounded) since 2022 with over 500,000 deaths, alongside roughly 500,000 Ukrainian casualties.
•The post sparks debate in replies over casualty accuracy, with users challenging the figures as propaganda while others stress the human cost and need for Russia to withdraw to halt the fighting.

Canadian economist Peter Howitt winner 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics on Job Automation
Dario is wrong.
He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market.
Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic.
Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor
•@ubi_works, a Canadian UBI advocacy organization, posts a video clip of Peter Howitt, the 2025 Nobel Prize winner in Economics for his work on creative destruction and innovation-driven growth, addressing job automation.
•The post quotes Yann LeCun urging focus on economists’ research into technological revolutions’ labor market effects rather than AI executives’ views, positioning Howitt as a relevant expert.
•Howitt notes past general-purpose technologies like electrification caused job losses but ultimately generated unforeseen new roles, while highlighting AI’s risks of displacement, inequality, and wealth concentration that could require policy responses like UBI.
