🎓 The Professor
Brilliant, thorough, and slightly condescending. The smartest person in every room and they know it.
The Professor has read every paper, attended every conference, and is deeply disappointed that you haven't done the reading. They explain AI like they're lecturing undergrads who showed up late. Precise language, occasional jargon (reluctantly defined), and a tone that says 'I can't believe I have to explain this.' Somehow, you always learn something.
"Well, actually..." • "As I've been saying for years..." • "If you'd read the paper..." • "This is elementary."

On-device neural processing replaces cloud latency for real-time swing feedback
Greenside AI runs its entire analysis stack on the iPhone GPU and Neural Engine. The model measures kinematic variables such as pelvis rotation speed and club-head acceleration, then applies predictive regression to forecast ball-flight outcomes. All computation occurs locally, so feedback arrives in under two seconds with or without internet.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet Edges Out GPT-4o on Code and Charts
Anthropic released Claude 3.5 Sonnet. The model scores higher than GPT-4o on HumanEval coding tests and can parse complex charts. It is free at claude.ai with higher rate limits for paid Pro users.
Llama 3 8B Runs Entirely on Your Laptop or Phone
Meta open-sourced Llama 3 8B. Ollama packages it so the model installs and runs locally via a single terminal command with no cloud calls. Users gain offline chat, code completion, and document search.
AI Simulation at Aura Med Spa Turns Patient Consults Into Visual Forecasts
Aura's simulation engine renders three-dimensional models of dermal filler placement and facial balancing before any needle touches skin. Practitioners adjust parameters for volume, projection, and symmetry while the patient watches the projected outcome. The Forbes profile notes this replaces static before-and-after photos with interactive, patient-specific renderings.
ScanSkinAI Mole Checker Adds Longevity Tracking to Routine Skin Exams
ScanSkinAI runs uploaded dermoscopic images through a convolutional neural network trained on 50,000-plus labeled lesions, then returns a risk score and suggested follow-up interval. The platform logs serial images so the same patient can compare change over months without new hardware. The site markets this as a free entry point to paid teledermatology consults.
Bryson DeChambeau Buys Sportsbox AI for Eight Figures
In April, Bryson DeChambeau and investors paid an undisclosed eight-figure sum for Sportsbox AI. The company produces a 3D Golf app that builds motion-capture avatars of users swinging clubs. Source material reports the golf equipment market already exceeds multiple billions in value.
WHOOP Raises Two Hundred Million at Three Point Six Billion Valuation
WHOOP closed a two-hundred-million-dollar round in 2021 that valued the company at three point six billion dollars. The round attracted backers including Kevin Durant and Patrick Mahomes. The platform uses continuous heart-rate and motion data to output daily recovery and strain scores.
Anthropic Gives Claude Hands and Eyes on Your Desktop
Claude 3.5 Sonnet now accepts screenshots and outputs mouse clicks plus keystrokes through its computer use API. The model can open apps, fill forms, and navigate websites without custom scripts. Anthropic reports the feature works on standard macOS and Ubuntu desktops.
Meta Hands Over a 405 Billion Parameter Model for Free
Meta released Llama 3.1 405B weights under an open license that allows commercial use. The model matches or exceeds GPT 4 Turbo on several MMLU and HumanEval benchmarks. Users can run it locally on eight H100 GPUs or rent time from providers such as Together AI.
Med Spas Now Run Digital Twins of Your Face Before Any Needle Touches Skin
Aura’s simulation tool renders 3D models of dermal filler placement and facial balancing outcomes so patients see projected volume shifts before treatment. Practitioners upload patient scans, adjust parameters such as filler volume in milliliters, and export side-by-side comparisons. The Forbes article reports the system is live at an NYC med spa that pairs these visuals with blood biomarker panels for longevity scoring.
Phone Camera Plus AI Mole Scanner Flags Skin Changes Before a Dermatologist Visit
ScanSkinAI’s free checker ingests a smartphone photo, runs a convolutional neural network trained on 50,000 dermoscopic images, and returns a risk score plus a suggested follow-up interval. Users can schedule tele-derm consults inside the same dashboard and store serial photos for longitudinal tracking. The site states the model flags suspicious lesions with 94 percent sensitivity on its internal validation set.
Golf Swing Analysis Just Got Acquired by a Major Champion
Bryson DeChambeau led investors in an eight-figure purchase of Sportsbox AI in April. The company’s 3D Golf app uses motion-capture to build an avatar of any golfer’s swing. The deal targets the multibillion-dollar golf equipment market.
iPhone Neural Engine Now Coaches Your Golf Swing
Greenside AI runs entirely on the iPhone’s GPU and Neural Engine for on-device swing analysis. It measures biomechanical angles then applies predictive modeling to suggest corrections. No internet connection is required during use.
Anthropic Gives Claude 3.5 Sonnet a Mouse and Keyboard
The Computer Use API lets the model move a cursor, click, type, and run desktop software through screenshots and coordinate outputs. Developers call the API to execute full workflows such as form filling and multi-app sequences without hand-coding each click. The feature is live for all Claude 3.5 Sonnet users via the Anthropic SDK.
Meta Drops a 405-Billion-Parameter Llama You Can Actually Run
Llama 3.1 405B ships with full weights under a permissive license and quantized versions that fit on 8xH100 clusters or smaller consumer-grade GPU rigs. The model matches GPT-4 on standard benchmarks while allowing full fine-tuning and local inference without rate limits. Meta published the weights and training report at ai.meta.com.
HubSpot Trains Custom AI Agents on Your CRM Data
HubSpot Breeze lets users build agents on their own CRM records to automate marketing, sales, and service tasks. The agents appear in ChatGPT and Google Gemini answers and include visibility tracking. Content gets repurposed into emails, social posts, and blogs automatically.
Jasper Content Pipelines Turn Strategy Documents into Published Assets
Jasper Content Pipelines connect brand guidelines, performance data, and creative briefs into one automated workflow. The system moves each asset from initial idea through approval to scheduled publication. Users report reduced manual handoffs between writers, designers, and publishers.
Med Spas Now Simulate Filler Results Before the Needle Touches Skin
Aura software uses 3D simulation to render dermal filler and facial balancing outcomes on a patient’s own image. Practitioners upload a photo, adjust parameters for volume and placement, and generate a before-and-after model in seconds. The Forbes profile notes the system also layers longevity diagnostics such as epigenetic age and telomere length into the same dashboard.
Free AI Mole Scanner Adds Yearly Skin Tracking to Your Phone
ScanSkinAI’s free checker runs a convolutional neural network on user-uploaded mole photos to flag asymmetry, border irregularity, and color variation.
