🏆 Google’s Gemini 3 climbs the leaderboards

The Rundown: Google released Gemini 3, the corporate’s latest SOTA model that it says brings a ‘latest era of intelligence’, topping a series of leaderboards and benchmarks, coming alongside a brand new agent-first development platform called Antigravity.

The small print:

• Gemini 3 and Deep Think achieve latest highs on reasoning benchmarks like Humanity’s Last Exam and ARC-AGI-2, smashing GPT-5’s previous marks.

• The model also takes the highest spot on scientific knowledge, math, multimodal reasoning, and power use, while lagging behind just Claude Sonnet 4.5 in coding.

• Gemini 3 excels in creating generative UI and visual layouts on the fly, showcasing the flexibility with its integration in AI Mode in Search.

• Google also launched Antigravity, a free agentic coding platform with browser control, asynchronous workflows, and multi-agent orchestration.

Why it matters: With long-awaited Gemini 3, Google has unseated OpenAI for the primary time shortly — your move, Sama. With infinite resources and integrations across its sprawling product ecosystem, the tech giant is unquestionably flexing some serious muscle because the industry transitions into the subsequent generation of frontier models.

🎙️ Exclusive: Demis Hassabis on Gemini 3.0

The Rundown: Before the launch of Google’s highly anticipated Gemini 3 release, we sat down with Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis for an exclusive interview to debate the importance of the discharge around Google’s AI ecosystem.

Rowan: If you happen to had to elucidate in a single sentence, why is the launch of Gemini 3 vital?

Demis: It continues the progression we’ve been on with Gemini over the past couple of years, and we’re really completely happy with the general performance. You possibly can see that from all of the benchmarks — from reasoning to tool calling, reliability, and creativity.

Rowan: What happens when an AI assistant can mix every part it knows about you from Gmail, Calendar, Maps, and beyond?

Rowan: Could Gemini 3 be the cornerstone for AI-driven healthcare, given your background?

Demis: Now we have systems like AMIE for medical diagnostics and need to bring those capabilities into Gemini. Gemini 3 is a powerful foundation for that. It’s so good multimodally, and a variety of health and education questions are multimodal.

The Gemini app isn’t a medical‑grade tool, however it could possibly be useful in places without good primary healthcare, and with Google’s reach and Android, we will deliver a basic level of care and knowledge more widely.

AI TRAINING

🤩 Create n8n workflows directly from Claude

The Rundown: On this tutorial, you’ll learn the way to generate complete n8n workflow automations by describing what you would like in plain English — using Claude Sonnet 4.5 via MCP to construct workflows without manually connecting nodes.

Step-by-step:

1. Install Claude Desktop and Node.js, then open your terminal and run npx n8n-mcp to start out the MCP server

2. In Claude Desktop, go to Settings > Developer > Edit Config and paste the configuration code, adding your n8n URL (out of your workflow dashboard) and API key (Settings > n8n API > Create API Key)

3. Restart Claude Desktop, click the n8n MCP icon in the underside right, and click on “Enable all tools”

4. Simply describe your automation to Claude: (Eg. “Construct an n8n workflow that monitors my Gmail for emails with ‘invoice’ in the topic, extracts the invoice amount using AI, and logs it to a Google Sheet”)

Pro tip: Claude works best with specific requests. As an alternative of “automate my emails,” try “once I get a Slack message with ‘urgent,’ create a task in Notion.”

MICROSOFT, NVIDIA & ANTHROPIC

🤝 Microsoft, Nvidia team up with Anthropic

The Rundown: Microsoft and Nvidia announced a significant latest strategic partnership with Anthropic, with investments reaching a combined $15B — with the AI startup also pledging $30B in Azure cloud commitments as a part of the deal.

The small print:

• Nvidia will invest as much as $10B in Anthropic, with Microsoft adding as much as $5B, pushing the Claude-maker’s valuation near $350B.

• Claude will now be available through Azure AI Foundry, making Anthropic’s models the one frontier options accessible across all three major clouds.

• Nvidia and Anthropic are also designing latest AI chips optimized for Claude, with Anthropic also committing to $30B in Azure compute and 1GW of capability.

• Microsoft’s Satya Nadella said the AI industry needs to maneuver beyond “any form of zero-sum narrative or winner-take-all hype,” echoing his recent post.

Why it matters: The circular economics of AI deals proceed, with Microsoft quickly embracing Nadella’s ‘positive-sum future’ vision for helpful partnerships with a significant take care of one in every of its fundamental partner’s biggest competitors. The deal also seems to bury the hatchet between Dario Amodei and Jensen Huang after this summer’s critiques.

🤝 Community AI workflows

Every newsletter, we showcase how a reader is using AI to work smarter, save time, or make life easier.

Today’s workflow comes from reader Kimberlee D. in Boca Raton, FL:

“I used ChatGPT to design and print the items needed for a bulletin board for my child’s 2nd-grade classroom… I input the theme and dimensions and asked for some ideas for the layout and materials that I could easily source. I used to be capable of piece together the ultimate message from a couple of options given, and the shortcuts saved me a variety of time eyeballing it and re-sizing.”
