Ex-Meta duo unveils Stream, a voice-to-note smart ring šŸŽ™ļø

Two ex-Meta designers launched Sandbar’s Stream, a smart ring that captures whispered voice notes with a press, chats via an AI assistant, and doubles as a music controller.

The iOS app organizes and edits notes; data control and exports are promised. Preorders start at $249 ($299 gold), shipping next summer, with a $10/month Pro tier after 3 free months. Sandbar raised $13M.

AI Country Hit Tops Billboard, Starts a New Era šŸŽ¶

An AI-generated country song, ā€œWalk My Walk, ā€ by fictional act Breaking Rust, just hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales, amid millions of Spotify streams and a ā€˜verified’ artist page.

With labels like UMG partnering with AI platforms such as Udio and Spotify experimenting with synthetic tracks, the rise of AI-generated music is redefining creativity rather than replacing it. Many see this as a new frontier, where artists collaborate with algorithms to explore sounds and genres that were never possible before.

Kosmos debuts as an AI Scientist for real research šŸš€

FutureHouse’s next-gen AI Scientist, Kosmos, uses structured world models to synthesize hundreds of agent trajectories, reading ~1, 500 papers and running 42, 000 lines of analysis per run. Beta users say one run equals ~6 months of work with ~79% accuracy.

It reproduced and generated new findings across neuroscience, genetics, and materials, with traceable outputs. Now offered by Edison Scientific at $200/run (free tier for academics), with caveats around rabbit holes.
