+ Nova. The model trainer

Hey folks,

Visa is exploring a way for AI agents to use your credit card. Not in a sketchy way (hopefully), but to let trusted AI tools make small purchases on your behalf. Think reordering snacks, renewing subscriptions, or buying another cable that you lost. The idea is to let your agent act like a digital assistant with a spending limit. Cool huh.. or maybe terrifying... i’m on the fence with this one.

Let’s dive in..

🔎 Google’s AI Mode: Search Just Got a Chatbot Makeover

🐝 The Buzz: Google is rolling out AI Mode, a new feature in Search that turns your queries into full-on conversations. Instead of the usual list of blue links, you’ll get AI-generated answers, complete with summaries, comparisons, and follow-up suggestions. Think of it as Google Search meeting Gemini, aiming to provide more direct and comprehensive responses. ​

🧪 How to Try It:

  • AI Mode is currently available to a select group of users in the U.S., with broader access expected soon.

  • You can find it as a new tab labeled "AI Mode" at the top of the Search page, alongside options like Images and News.

  • No need for a Google One AI Premium subscription anymore; the waitlist has been removed for Labs users.

🧠 What’s New:

  • AI Mode provides AI-generated summaries based on Google's search index, offering a more conversational and interactive experience. ​

  • It includes features like saved past searches in a side panel and visual cards with detailed information about businesses and products. ​

  • The system is powered by Google's Gemini 2.0 model, designed to handle complex queries with enhanced reasoning capabilities. ​

💡 Takeaway: AI Mode is Google's latest step in integrating AI into Search, aiming to provide users with more direct and comprehensive answers. While it's still in the early stages, this feature could make the searching experience more conversational and efficient.​

🌏️ Amazon Just showcased Nova Premier. The expensive sounding and smart AI model.

🐝 The Buzz: Amazon’s got a new flagship model out in the wild. It’s called Nova Premier, and it’s basically AWS flexing its biggest, smartest AI model. Not only can it tackle large, multi-step tasks, it also moonlights as a teacher, helping train smaller models like Nova Pro, Lite, and Micro. So yeah… it’s the model other models learn from.

  • It’s Multimodal, Obviously: Nova Premier doesn’t just do text, it handles images, video, the works.

  • 1 Million Token Context Window: This thing remembers everything. Whether it’s a long legal doc or a ridiculous codebase, it doesn’t break a sweat.

  • Distills Down to Smaller Models: You can use Nova Premier to teach lighter models without losing too much brainpower. That means you get Nova-level skills with a smaller compute bill.

  • It’s Benchmark-Happy: Nova Premier scored well across 17 public benchmarks, especially anything with long context or multi-step logic.

💡 Takeaway: Nova Premier isn’t just another model drop, it’s Amazon laying down serious foundation model energy. If you’re building tools that need deep context, visuals, or long-form reasoning, this one’s worth a look. And if you just want to build a leaner model that learned from the big guy, Nova’s got you there too.
