Google Research introduces an AI-powered feedback system using Gemini 2.5 Deep Think to help theoretical computer scientists rigorously verify their papers before submission. The tool, tested at STOC 2026, identified critical errors in over 97% of papers and earned high marks from researchers for its ability to augment the peer review process.

A new AI writing assistant, BetterWrite, aims to revolutionize technical documentation by integrating directly into development workflows, promising to reduce documentation overhead while improving accuracy and consistency.

The Metrik API delivers hourly updates on Time to First Token (TTFT) across 26+ large language models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI. By exposing provider averages, performance comparisons, and change tracking, it equips teams with the data needed to fine‑tune model selection and optimize user experience.

A new open‑source library, StringZilla, delivers up to 150× speedups over ICU for Unicode case‑insensitive substring search by leveraging AVX‑512 kernels and a rigorous, spec‑compliant folding engine. The article explains how the library navigates the complexities of UTF‑8, showcases performance benchmarks across languages, and outlines future extensions for ARM and other scripts.

Michigan State University researchers have engineered a miniature, beating human heart that can reproduce atrial fibrillation, opening a path to drug discovery for a condition that has seen no new treatments in three decades. The organoids, enriched with immune cells, reveal how inflammation drives arrhythmias and allow rapid testing of anti‑inflammatory therapies.

A critical remote code execution vulnerability has been discovered in LibXYZ, a widely used JavaScript library, putting millions of applications at risk. The vulnerability, now patched, requires immediate action from developers and organizations worldwide.
