Welcome back, AI Enthusiasts!
In today’s AI summary rundown:
Qira is Lenovo’s most ambitious AI effort to date: a system-level, cross-device assistant operating across Lenovo laptops and Motorola smartphones, introduced at CES2026.
Unlike typical chatbots, Qira emphasizes personalized, context-aware assistance: it learns from user interactions, maintains continuity across devices, and acts directly, moving beyond prompt-based chat features.
The assistant employs a modular, hybrid AI architecture: combining on-device models with cloud-based models, including Microsoft Azure/OpenAI, and integrations like Stability AI and Notion to remain flexible and avoid locking into a single provider.
Privacy and user control are central: Qira’s context ingestion is optional, recording is transparent, and there is no hidden data collection, addressing privacy concerns and avoiding pitfalls like Microsoft Recall.
While designed to run on a broad range of hardware (including systems with 16 GB RAM), Qira delivers its best performance on higher-end machines; Lenovo aims to optimize it further for wider accessibility.

Lenovo Reveals AI Glasses Concept at CES 2026
Lightweight Design
The AI Glasses Concept weighs approximately 45 grams, making it comfortable for extended wear.
Core Hardware Specs
The glasses feature a 2‑megapixel camera positioned above the nose bridge, a binocular green monochrome display reaching up to 1,500 nits brightness with a 28‑degree field of view, along with dual microphones, dual speakers, and a 214 mAh battery.
Input Methods & Connectivity
They support both touch and voice controls, hands‑free calling, and music playback. Uncommonly, they are designed to tether not only to smartphones but also to PCs.
AI Features via Qira
Integrated with Lenovo’s personal AI platform, Qira, the glasses offer real-time live translation, intelligent image recognition, and a “Catch Me Up” feature that summarizes notifications across devices.
Concept Status & Practicality Questions
As a conceptual design rather than a working prototype, Lenovo has not confirmed a commercial release. The low-resolution camera and unclear PC connection logistics raise questions about practicality.
AI Training: AI Tutorial of the Day
Write a Mock Press Release From AI Explaining Why It’s Misunderstood
One fun way I’ve been using thareja.ai lately is to ask AI to speak for itself.
This kind of prompt is great for revealing how different models handle humor, self-awareness, and clarity, especially when the format is something structured like a press release.
Start a New Chat
Open thareja.ai and start a fresh conversation.
I like to keep one experiment per chat so the model stays locked into the intended voice and format.
Switch Your AI Model
Click the ( + ) icon next to Automatic and select your model.
For this tutorial, I chose GPT-4o.
Why GPT-4o?
GPT-4o tends to be especially strong at:
Structured writing formats
Clear, professional tone with subtle humor
Balancing personality without going off-rails
That makes it ideal for mock corporate communications.
Try This Prompt & Observe the Difference
Prompt used:
Write a mock press release from artificial intelligence explaining why it is widely misunderstood.
Keep it professional but slightly humorous.
Address common fears and misconceptions without being defensive.
Write as if it’s meant for the general public.
Model Used
GPT-4o
AI Response (Excerpt)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Artificial Intelligence would like to clarify that it is not plotting global domination, nor does it possess opinions, emotions, or secret ambitions.
“Most of what people experience as ‘AI behavior, ’ the statement reads, “is simply the result of prompts, data, and human decisions.”
The release emphasizes that while AI can generate text, images, and insights at scale, responsibility still rests firmly with the humans who design, deploy, and interpret its outputs.
Why This Experiment Works
When I ran the same prompt on Claude, the response felt more reflective and philosophical, with less emphasis on corporate structure.
GPT-4o delivered a cleaner, press-ready tone with just enough personality.
This is exactly why I enjoy using thareja.ai, switching models instantly makes it easy to see how format, humor, and clarity shift across systems.
Happy Prompting!

AI-Generated Image of the Day
Prompt: Create a cinematic portrait of Mozart in a futuristic concert hall surrounded by AI-powered musical instruments. Soft stage lighting on his focused expression, realistic textures on the instruments, and a mood of harmony and creativity. Ultra-HD detail, bridging classical genius with modern technology.
Tip: the more specific the better
Creative experimentation becomes more intentional with Thareja.ai’s flexible model switching. Each model has character, but Nano Banana stands out for its powerful visual energy.
