1/ Instagram Unmasks AI-Powered Background Editing. 📸
Instagram has launched a new generative AI-powered background editing tool for its U.S.-based users. Users can change the background of their images through prompts for Stories. Once a user posts a Story with the newly generated background, others will see a “Try it” sticker with the prompt so they can also play with the image generation tool.
Meta, the parent company of Instagram, made its 28 AI-powered characters available across all its apps — WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram — for U.S.-based users, with support for Bing search and a better context window. At the same time, the company also launched a standalone AI-image generator called Imagine with Meta, powered by its own model called Emu.

3/ Tesla's Optimus Robot Gets Agile. 🤖
Tesla's Optimus robot has taken a major leap forward! The new Gen 2 version can now walk, squat, and even handle an egg without breaking it. It's faster, lighter, and boasts improved dexterity thanks to its "brand-new" five-fingered hands with tactile sensors. While a release date and price are still up in the air, Musk envisions Optimus as a game-changer, creating "a future of abundance" with its labor contributions.
