GenAI/AI News Jun 25 25: GenAI Accelerates Scientific Discovery, Gemini Local Mini-Models Power Robots and Much More
Science is the core of progress. Now we are speeding up the discoveries of science!
I heard that Gordon Moore, of Moore’s law fame once said at an Intel board meeting: “You know the scientists and the engineers create all the value. You folks in Finance, Marketing, etc., just push it around!” Today we have an essential read, a study by Alex Singla head of McKinsey’s Quantum Black division, and his colleagues, that predicts that we will unlock over a half a trillion dollars in more efficient and effective R&D in firms as varied as computer games, to materials science. The acceleration of science is one of the most important breakthroughs that will come with GenAI/AI and this article lays out some great ideas on why.

Rationale: This article explores how generative AI is catalyzing a new wave of innovation across industries such as pharmaceuticals, materials science, and aerospace, supported by detailed data on R&D productivity and technological acceleration. Our analysts emphasized its broad relevance, framing it as a vital read for leaders wanting to understand AI’s transformative potential on a global scale.
Introducing 11ai: the voice-first AI assistant that takes action
Rating: Important
Rationale: ElevenLabs has launched 11ai, a voice-first AI assistant that can perform tasks, offering a glimpse into the future of AI-powered personal assistants. While it lacks visual capabilities, our analysts noted its strong voice interaction design and considered it a meaningful step toward more interactive, action-oriented AI agents.
Gemini Robotics On-Device brings AI to local robotic devices
Rating: Important
Rationale: Google DeepMind has optimized its Gemini 2.2 model for fully on-device use, enabling robots to perform without cloud connectivity. Our analysts viewed this as a significant advance in decentralized AI and robotics, with practical implications for energy-efficient and real-time AI in physical systems.
NewDay builds A Generative AI based Customer service Agent Assist with over 90% accuracy
Rating: Important
Rationale: NewDay used Amazon Bedrock to build a generative AI-powered Agent Assist tool that achieved over 90% accuracy in customer service scenarios. Our analysts praised this real-world RAG implementation, noting its relevance for enterprises currently deploying AI for support operations.
Can we fix AI’s evaluation crisis?
Rating: Optional
Rationale: This article critiques the shortcomings of current AI evaluation benchmarks and argues for tailored, proprietary evaluation methods. Our analysts agreed the issue is conceptually valid but found the article lacked new insights, calling it more of a general overview than a tactical guide.
From Demos to Deals: Insights for Building in Enterprise AI
Rating: Optional
Rationale: The article discusses common challenges in transitioning from AI prototypes to enterprise-scale deployments, offering high-level commentary on moats and data readiness. Our analysts described the content as obvious and superficial, with few actionable takeaways for AI leaders.
SYNTHETIC-2: Planetary-Scale Pipeline Parallel Inference for Verified Reasoning
Rating: Optional
Rationale: Prime Intellect introduces SYNTHETIC-2, a system for large-scale parallel inference aimed at verified reasoning. Despite the technical interest in decentralized LLM infrastructure, our analysts felt it has limited relevance to current enterprise needs, categorizing it as a niche R&D announcement.
