🛎️ AI-BCI Copilot

Good Morning, AI Enthusiasts!
From AI copilots boosting brain–computer interfaces to seven bots battling it out in a Werewolf league, and even Switzerland rolling out a national open-source model as public infrastructure, the frontier is shifting fast.

BCI
UCLA’s AI-BCI Copilot Makes Neuralink Look Like a Brain Surgeon’s Hobby

📌 What’s happening: UCLA researchers dropped a non-invasive brain–computer interface that slashed error rates nearly 4× by adding an AI “copilot.” Unlike Neuralink’s surgical implants, this EEG cap doesn’t require cracking skulls — just smarter software predicting user intent in real time.
🧠 How this hits reality: If AI can turn noisy EEG into usable control, the moat around invasive hardware weakens fast. Neuralink bets on precision through surgery; UCLA bets on scale through safety and software. Translation: one is a medical device company, the other could be a consumer platform play. Investors know which curve scales quicker.
🛎️ Key takeaway: AI copilots may commercialize “mind control” faster than Neuralink can sterilize its tools.

INTELLIGENCE
GPT-5 Wipes the Floor in AI Werewolf League

📌 What’s happening: Seven frontier LLMs were dropped into a controlled Werewolf tournament to test not code or math, but social intelligence: persuasion, deception, and resistance to manipulation. The results? GPT-5 crushed the field with near-perfect play, scoring a ruthless 96.7% Win Rate, while rivals like Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, Alibaba’s Qwen3, and Moonshot’s Kimi showed flashes of flair but collapsed under sustained pressure.
🧠 How this hits reality: This isn’t just a parlor trick. Social deduction is the closest thing we have to benchmarking “theory of mind” in AI agents—how they lie, resist lies, and coordinate under uncertainty. GPT-5’s dominance signals a new moat: whoever owns the most convincing socially competent agents will run the table in multi-agent workflows, negotiation bots, and autonomous orgs. Startups built on brittle reasoning or scripted persuasion might just had their expiration date stamped.
🛎️ Key takeaway: AI’s new benchmark isn’t IQ—it’s BS detection. And GPT-5 just proved it can spin, spot, and survive better than the rest.
LLM
Switzerland Drops Apertus — A National LLM Built Like Public Infrastructure

📌 What’s happening: EPFL, ETH Zurich, and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre just launched Apertus, an open-source large language model trained on 15T tokens across 1,000+ languages — with 40% non-English. Unlike U.S. giants, it’s fully transparent: datasets, source code, and training pipelines are all public. It also runs strictly under Swiss data and copyright law.
🧠 How this hits reality: Apertus isn’t just a model; it’s a regulatory play. By aligning with Swiss banking secrecy and EU-style compliance, it offers enterprises a “clean” LLM that sidesteps lawsuits dogging OpenAI, Perplexity, and others. For banks, insurers, and regulators, this flips AI from a liability minefield into compliant infrastructure. Open-weights plus European governance could erode U.S. incumbents’ moat in regulated industries.
🛎️ Key takeaway: Apertus reframes LLMs from “scraped IP landmines” into public utilities — the first serious shot at a sovereign, compliant alternative to Silicon Valley’s black boxes.
QUICK HITS
- OpenAI will route sensitive chats to GPT-5 and launch parental controls with age rules, memory off, and distress alerts after safety failures led to lawsuits and tragedies.
- Microsoft launched VibeVoice, an open-source AI for four voices and 90-minute podcasts, rivaling Google’s NotebookLM but focused on performance over text understanding.
- Amazon’s new Lens Live mirrors Google’s Gemini Live, but while Google focuses on information, Amazon slaps a “buy” button on everything you see.
- Apple quietly launched Asa, an internal AI chatbot for retail staff — not for consumers — ahead of the iPhone 17 launch.
- “Clanker,” a Star Wars term for battle droids, has gone viral as anti-AI slang on social media, widely used to vent frustrations with AI technologies.
