Google's new AI model predicts the future from sales data, weather, and discount schedules

Google Research released TimesFM-3, a 330M-parameter multivariate time series forecasting model that tops Gift-Eval, FEV-Bench, and Time benchmarks and is on Hugging Face.

Google Research released TimesFM-3, a 330-million-parameter Transformer-based time series forecasting model trained on more than one trillion real and synthetic data points. It works zero-shot and adds multivariate support, ingesting related series, historical-only covariates, and known future events such as discount schedules and weather forecasts, while filling all future time steps in a single one-shot pass. Google reports first place among pretrained forecasting models on Gift-Eval, FEV-Bench, and Time, ahead of Amazon's Chronos-2, the Toto-2.0 family, and its own TimesFM-2.5. Weights are available on GitHub and Hugging Face, with BigQuery integration planned in the coming weeks.

GPT-6 Astra: an automated AI Engineer you can hire for <$6 an hour

OpenAI launches GPT-6 Astra, a frontier model scoring 97.6% on FrontierMath and 99.9% on ARC-AGI-3, capable of autonomous AI engineering at roughly $6 per hour.

OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra, described as its first Stargate and lightly looped frontier model, beating Fable 5.1 on many metrics and saturating the hardest FrontierMath (97.6%) and ARC-AGI-3 (99.9%) benchmarks. Latent Space tested the model with over 20 billion tokens, reporting it can train and select models, label data, deploy and debug systems, and orchestrate 20-50 parallel subagents. The authors measured about $6 per hour of agentic engineering at 33 tokens per second, with token efficiency independently confirmed by Artificial Analysis.

Introducing Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber

Google DeepMind releases Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber with improved reasoning, coding, and cybersecurity vulnerability detection and automated patching.

Google DeepMind introduced Gemini 3.8 Flash, its strongest reasoning and coding model, priced at $0.75 per million input and $3.75 per million output tokens, alongside Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber, a cybersecurity-specialized variant offered to trusted defenders via the Fairwind Program. The Cyber variant shows frontier-level autonomous vulnerability discovery on CyberGym, exceeds 70% success on an internal benchmark spanning 20 programming languages, and scores 47.2% pass@1 on the CWE-Bench patching benchmark. Google reports it produced 2.6x more correct Chrome vulnerability patches than larger commercial models and found a critical foundational bug in under 2 hours.
