Welcome back, AI Enthusiasts!

In today’s AI summary rundown:

  1. A coalition led by the Independent Publishers Alliance, along with groups like Movement for an Open Web and Foxglove, has filed a formal antitrust complaint with the European Commission, calling for interim measures to halt the Google Overviews feature.

  2. AI Overviews Under Scrutiny

    Google’s AI-generated summaries are placed prominently at the top of search results, allegedly cannibalizing clicks to original news sites and damaging publishers’ traffic, readership, and revenue.

  3. The complaint highlights that publishers cannot prevent their content from appearing in AI Overviews unless they also remove themselves from standard search listings, creating an unfair binary choice.

  4. Data shows a sharp rise in “zero‑click” news searches: from 56% in May 2024 to 69% in May 2025. Among top US news domains, 37 of the top 50 witnessed traffic declines since Overviews was launched in May 2024.

  5. The company argues AI Overviews bring “new opportunities” and that traffic shifts stem from factors like seasonality and algorithm updates. It also emphasizes that its search engine still generates billions of clicks daily.

Insight: AI-Hyperscaler CoreWeave to Acquire Core Scientific in $9 Billion All-Stock Deal

  1. Strategic Merger for Power Control

    CoreWeave’s all-stock acquisition of Core Scientific, valued at approximately $9 billion, aims to secure 1.3 gigawatts of power capacity, removing over $10 billion in future lease commitments and enhancing operational efficiency.

  2. Premium Deal for Shareholders

    Core Scientific shareholders will receive 0.1235 shares of CoreWeave common stock per share, equivalent to $20.40 each, a 66% premium over their pre-announcement closing price of 12.3012.3012.30.

  3. Anticipated Cost Savings & “Verticalization”

    CoreWeave expects the merger to generate approximately $500 million in annual savings by 2027 and bolster revenue growth by owning critical infrastructure, power, data centers, and operations throughout the stack.

  4. Market Reaction: Skepticism Over Valuation

    Despite the scale, CoreWeave stock dropped around 2–4%, and Core Scientific shares slid 16–22%, reflecting investor concerns about dilution and whether the acquisition’s valuation fully captures Core Scientific’s standalone earning potential.

  5. AI & Crypto Infrastructure Convergence

    Both companies have transitioned from crypto-mining roots toward AI cloud infrastructure. CoreWeave rents its GPU servers for AI workloads, while Core Scientific repurposes former mining facilities, signaling a broader trend of crypto-power assets fueling AI expansion.

Quirky AI Tools

  1. If you've ever wanted to spice up your writing with the flair of the Bard himself, the Shakespeare AI Writing Toolbar is your new favorite sidekick. This whimsical browser extension transforms plain language into theatrically rich, Shakespearean prose. Whether you're crafting an email, a social media caption, or a sassy message to a colleague, this tool will turn it into something worthy of a stage performance. It’s quirky, clever, and just the right amount of ridiculous—perfect for creative writers, drama teachers, or anyone looking to drop some iambic pentameter into their Slack messages.

  2. Now this one’s for the tech nerds with a serious love for performance. CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) by NVIDIA isn’t your usual AI tool; it’s a software development platform that lets you harness the power of GPU acceleration for deep learning, scientific computing, and more. It’s a foundational tool for those building bleeding-edge AI systems and simulations. Sure, it reads like a programming textbook, but once you're in, you can unlock mind-blowing computational speed. CUDA may wear a serious face, but in the right hands, it can power everything from AI-powered gaming mods to weird machine-learning experiments you probably shouldn’t run in public.

  3. Hippo Video is an AI-powered video platform that believes sales pitches shouldn’t be boring or time-consuming. This tool enables users to quickly create personalised sales videos using AI-generated scripts, voiceovers, and screen recordings. The real charm? It does all the heavy lifting, from writing the intro to adding a virtual background that hides your messy office. It’s like Loom but with a marketing degree and a flair for conversion optimisation. Whether you're a marketer, sales rep, or startup founder trying to impress investors, Hippo Video makes you look polished, persuasive, and perhaps a little too perfect.

  4. Azure Machine Learning is the cloud-based brain of Microsoft’s AI ecosystem. It offers a full suite of tools to build, train, deploy, and manage machine learning models, all wrapped up in enterprise polish. But don’t let the corporate exterior fool you; behind the scenes, it’s a wildly powerful playground for data scientists and AI engineers. You can do everything from building deep learning pipelines to running AutoML experiments with just a few clicks (or a lot of Python, if that’s your style). It’s the kind of platform that could run an AI startup or power a slightly overengineered project, like predicting when your cat’s next nap will be.

Trending AI Startups

  1. Raylu is the AI whisperer for developers drowning in complex workflows. This startup is building a self-learning backend copilot designed to help engineers create, test, and deploy AI-native apps faster and with fewer headaches. Think of it as a turbocharged assistant that understands your product stack and can suggest, generate, or even debug code snippets intelligently, like ChatGPT, but trained on your environment. It's real magic lies in being context-aware, saving hours of documentation browsing and Slack back-and-forths. If you're an engineer tired of reinventing the wheel for every feature, Raylu might just be the tool that lets you ship smarter, not harder.

  2. MikeLegal brings AI into the boardroom, dressed in a sharp suit and ready to decode legal chaos. Based out of India, this startup offers an AI-powered platform that helps law firms and corporates manage IP-related tasks with machine precision. From trademark management to litigation analytics, MikeLegal automates what lawyers secretly dread: research, document analysis, and compliance tracking. It's built not just to cut down billable hours, but to make legal teams feel like they’ve got their digital paralegal. For an industry known for paper trails and cautious progress, MikeLegal is surprisingly bold, fast, and refreshingly user-friendly.

  3. Parallel isn’t just an AI startup; it’s your AI concierge for personal and professional productivity. It’s built around the idea of ‘parallelization’, getting your day-to-day busywork done by smart agents while you focus on what matters. Whether it’s summarising meetings, sending follow-up emails, or helping teams manage tasks across platforms like Notion, Slack, or Google Docs, Parallel acts like an employee you didn’t know you could afford. What makes it stand out? It's smooth integration into your workflows and the fact that it doesn’t try to replace you, it just runs quietly alongside you, like a polite, invisible intern who’s brilliant.

  4. Vahan is quietly redefining how the Indian workforce finds jobs, especially in the gig and blue-collar segments. This AI-driven job-matching platform connects workers with employers through smart automation via messaging platforms like WhatsApp. No apps to download, no long forms, just straight-to-the-point communication and placement. Vahan uses AI to predict job fit, follow up with candidates, and help companies scale their hiring without burning through human recruiters. It's tackling a real, massive problem: how to bring tech to people who don’t typically use job portals. And it’s doing it with empathy, efficiency, and a lot of clever backend automation.

AI-Generated Image of the Day

Prompt:  A serene countryside scene at golden hour, with a majestic brown-and-white cow standing in a lush green meadow. Wildflowers bloom around her feet, and a rustic wooden fence lines the background. The sky is a soft blend of orange and lavender, casting a warm glow on the cow’s glossy coat. Gentle hills roll into the distance, with a red barn faintly visible on the horizon. The cow gazes calmly toward the viewer, exuding peaceful rural charm.
