Beyond Visual CoT: Internalized Visual Thinking Enables Proactive Video Reasoning
Multimodal LLMs commonly use Visual Chain-of-Thought (Visual CoT) for spatial, temporal, and embodied environment reasoning, but generating intermediate reasoning images introduces substantial inference overhead. The proposed post-training framework Internalized Visual Thinking (IVT) internalizes visual reasoning during training, enabling direct text prediction and optimization at inference time, achieving proactive video reasoning without increasing inference cost.

OpenAI Is Building an AI Agent for Everything – Will Everyone Use Them?
OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work, adapting Codex into a non-engineer-friendly agent product available from $20/month, designed to let office workers autonomously complete multi-step tasks via LLM. In June, 98% of OpenAI employees used Codex internally, but only 17% of organization subscribers and less than 1% of individual subscribers do. The company is simplifying the interface to expand adoption and support its massive training investments.

How to Evaluate Live Voice Agents in ADK
Google brought native real-time evaluation capabilities to ADK, enabling simulated users to audio-drive live voice agents, score voice responses, and complete evaluation loops identical to text agent testing. The example uses three agents based on gemini-live-2.5-flash-native-audio composing a workflow, supporting conversational and fixed-dialogue test cases, built-in personas like NOVICE, and max_allowed_invocations for total turn limits.

Your Alt Text Passes Automated Checks – That Doesn't Mean It's Any Good
The WebAIM Million report shows 16.2% of images on mainstream websites lack alt text, with another 10.8% having vague or repetitive alt text. GitHub built an alt text plugin for its Accessibility Scanner using five deterministic rules to detect missing text, filenames, placeholders, generic terms, and adjacent duplication, plus optional vision-model review for layout-based duplication detection to balance false positive rates with practicality.
