Summary TL;DR

• Gemini 2.5 and GPT-5 win gold; spatial reasoning gaps remain.

• Miami-Dade pilots AI patrol car to boost safety, test trust.

• ChatGPT Plus/Pro get smarter memory management, search, and restore controls.

AI Models Take Gold at Astronomy Olympiad 🏅 (IOAA)

Researchers benchmarked five leading LLMs on four IOAA theory and data exams. Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT‑5 earned gold‑level scores (85.6% and 84.2%), ranking top‑two among ~200–300 students; GPT‑5 also averaged 88.5% on data analysis, while others lagged (48–76%).

Persistent weaknesses include conceptual, geometric, and spatial reasoning. Bottom line: near peak human on theory, but not yet autonomous astronomy researchers.

Miami-Dade tests AI patrol robot car 🚓

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office unveiled the PUG “Patrol Partner, ” an autonomous, AI-enabled police vehicle in a 12-month pilot. With 360° cameras, thermal imaging, license plate recognition, and a drone launcher, it uses real-time crime data to support deputies.

Nonprofit Policing Lab is sponsoring the program to assess effects on response times, deterrence, officer safety, and community trust.

ChatGPT adds smart memory cleanup and search 🧠

ChatGPT Plus and Pro users get automatic memory management that prioritizes recent and frequent details to prevent “memory full.” You can search and sort memories, see which are “top of mind, ” and manually prioritize or turn automation off.

Delete individual memories or all at once, and view or restore previous versions from history.

Great prompt for ChatGPT - Language Learning Sprint 🌍

Design a customizable language-learning plan to boost fluency and achieve my goal: [insert your specific language goal, e.g., pass A2, hold a 10‑minute conversation, or learn 300 words]. Make it flexible for [insert number of days or weeks, e.g., 7 days or 4 weeks], with daily/weekly objectives and actionable steps. Prioritize vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading, writing. Use productivity techniques (e.g., Pomodoro, habit stacking), strategies for obstacles (e.g., blockers, accountability), and rewards. Include end-of-period reflections and suggest free tools (e.g., Anki, Duolingo, Tandem). If you need extra information, please ask me.
