    AI tool can predict cancer survival by a single patient selfie

    Researchers at Mass General Brigham developed an AI system, trained on more than 40 million facial photographs, that estimates biological age and predicts survival outcomes for cancer patients from a single selfie, with details published in Lancet Digital Health. The two tools, FAHR-FaceAge and FAHR-FaceSurvival, rely on different facial regions, and among radiotherapy patients in the US those who looked five or more years older than their actual age had a 21% higher risk of dying during the average four-year follow-up, while those who looked five or more years younger had a 17% lower risk. Doctors cautioned that more research is needed before the tool could be widely used.

    Introducing SFX v3 for developers

    ElevenLabs released SFX v3, a new sound effects model in its Sound Effects API that follows multi-instruction prompts more closely than SFX v2 and handles vocals and music better, available by setting model_id to eleven_text_to_sound_v3 on the POST /v1/sound-generation endpoint. The model picks sound length from the prompt, with duration_seconds for specific timing and prompt_influence (default 0.3) to tighten prompt adherence, while looping still requires eleven_text_to_sound_v2 with loop: true. The company describes v3 as an incremental update that is less likely to clip on high-frequency sounds and recommends A/B testing common prompts across both models since they share an endpoint.

    Adobe is testing how well AI agents can use editing tools like a Photoshop professional would

    Adobe Research and UC San Diego researchers developed EditAgent, which pairs a general-purpose image editor with specialized tools and uses a standard language model to compare parallel candidates using verification data such as close-ups, change maps, and measured brightness and color statistics. In a 600-edit benchmark blind-rated by five professionals, the general-purpose editor Flux-2-Klein-9B failed to produce a usable result 42.7 percent of the time, and specialized tools solved roughly two-thirds of those failures. With verification records, all seven language models tested beat the best fine-tuned evaluation model, with Qwen3.8-27B making a usable pick 81.3 percent of the time versus 74.8 percent for EditScore-72B, though the agent needs about ten times as much compute as a single editor.

    Google wants video AI to understand what people need as they work

    Researchers from Google, Stanford, Oxford and several U.S. universities introduced StreamVibe, a video agent that decides for itself when to speak up during tasks like cooking or furniture assembly, handling vague requests, unspoken intentions and mid-task changes. Built on a benchmark of about 4,100 examples from over 183 hours of recordings, StreamVibe-VL reportedly improves response timing and quality by 10.7 percent over other models, while a separate memory system is designed to boost proactive interaction by another 12.3 percent. The paper nonetheless finds that as videos get longer, all tested models become much less likely to time responses correctly, with a key content metric dropping by up to 61.5 percent when models build on their own earlier responses.

    AI microdrama edit of Neighbours worries actors and crew

    Former Neighbours actors and crew have raised concerns about a Fremantle and RoseBerry Media project that uses AI to scan decades of episodes and re-edit old footage into short vertical micro-dramas for mobile viewers, starting with footage of Margot Robbie. The companies say the tool only identifies material from original broadcast footage and that human editors approve every stage, but actors including Matt Werkmeister and Sam Clark say they were not approached and are unsure of their rights under contracts signed before streaming and AI existed.

    Disney Files Patents for AI That Form Emotional Bonds Using Guest Memories

    Disney Enterprises filed two patents on June 29, 2026 for emotionally responsive AI interactive characters that elicit a reminiscence from a guest, predict memory features using a trained machine learning model, and compare them against a character memory bank to generate a response, adding a new "hallucinated memory" node when no match meets a threshold. The second patent, from an overlapping team, uses the same memory-matching system but has the character generate and perform a song, poem, or dance based on a mood modifier derived from the matched memories. Disney has made no announcements about these patents, and the article notes the technology may never be used or could take years.

    Building a Banana Sorter AI Machine

    The author tests four vision models (Qwen2.5-VL 3B, Gemma 3 4B, Liquid d1-2B, and gpt-6.1-sol) on five banana images to decide BASKET or TRASH over 100 runs each. The smaller offline models trashed any banana with a black dot, while the frontier model sometimes trashed the heavily spotted banana (16% at low reasoning, 38% at high) and Liquid d1 gave probabilistic answers. The author concludes he would not trust a high-end model with a critical decision and that designing a real banana sorter is more nuanced.
