For two decades, we've treated language as a human input/output problem: fingers to type, lungs and lips to speak, and years of training to master a second language. That design hypothesis has just been broken. In August 2025, a team led by Stanford reported a brain implant that decoded "internal speech" — silent, self-generated words — at the command with up to 74% accuracy from a vocabulary of 125,000 words,  protected by a thought password that prevented accidental decoding in about 98% of cases.

In July 2025, Google DeepMind reported that the Gemini "Deep Think" system solved five of the six problems of the International Mathematical Olympiad for 35/42 points - gold medal level from the competition's scoring rubric. This is not just a feat of technology. It is a testament to the potential of artificial intelligence to inspire admiration and curiosity, sparking new ideas and approaches in education.

Seventy-two percent of U.S. teens have used an AI "partner," and more than half say they use one regularly. That's not a niche. It's the new default for teen relaxation, practice talks, and (increasingly) advice on familiar problems. At the same time, a national data snapshot shows that 54% of 12-17-year-olds report difficulty getting the necessary mental health care.

A recent wave of coverage claimed that Reinforcement Learning (RL) had leaped pure math by navigating the notoriously thorny Andrews-Curtis landscape, downplaying long-term potential counterexamples and hinting – breathlessly – at tools that could one day predict stock crashes, pandemics, and even climate disasters years in advance. The research team made progress: by combining the RL standard with intelligent motion compression ("supermoves"), they found paths through cases that had resisted search for decades.
