😤 Google Drops Gemini 3.1 Pro and It’s a Beast
Google released Gemini 3.1 Pro at the end of last week, and the benchmarks are turning heads. On ARC-AGI-2, the industry's go-to test for whether a model can solve entirely new logic patterns, 3.1 Pro scored 77.1%.
That's more than double the reasoning performance of Gemini 3 Pro and beats Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and GPT-5.2. Google says it took first place across 12 benchmark tests total. The API pricing stays the same as the previous generation.
Have you tried Gemini 3.1 Pro yet?
🧪 What People Are Already Building With It
Community tests went viral within hours. One developer built a full Windows 11 WebOS in a single prompt. Another generated a playable Minecraft-style 3D sandbox directly in the browser.

Google's own demos show the model coding a real-time ISS tracking dashboard, generating crisp SVG animations from text, and building an interactive 3D bird flock simulation with hand-tracking and generative audio. Google DeepMind researcher Shunyu Yao posted that better Gemini models are now emerging at an irresistible pace.
📦 Where You Can Use It Right Now
3.1 Pro is rolling out across the Gemini app, NotebookLM, AI Studio, Vertex AI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, and Android Studio. Free users get two queries. Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers get higher limits.

For developers, the preview is live in the Gemini API now, with general availability coming soon. Google says the model is built for tasks where a simple answer isn't enough, and early testing suggests that's not just marketing.
The Lithium Boom Is Heating Up
Lithium stock prices grew 2X+ from June to January. $ALB climbed 227%. $LAC hit 151%. $SQM, 159%. But the real winner may be a private stock, EnergyX. Their tech can recover 3X more lithium than traditional methods, leading General Motors to invest. Now they’re preparing to unlock up to 9.8M tons of lithium. Buy private EnergyX shares alongside 40k+ people before EnergyX’s share price increases after 2/26.
This is a paid advertisement for EnergyX Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.energyx.com. Under Regulation A, a company may change its share price by up to 20% without requalifying the offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
🧠 Meta Patents AI That Posts After You Die
Meta just got a patent that would make Black Mirror writers uncomfortable. It describes an AI trained on your posts, comments, and messages to simulate you on Facebook and Instagram after you die - likes, comments, DMs, even simulated video calls. Your digital ghost, kept alive indefinitely.
👤 How Does the Digital Twin Actually Work?
The system trains on your entire historical footprint, every post, comment, reaction, and message, to build a model that mimics your behavior and communication style. The patent frames it as addressing the permanent loss of users and easing grief for followers.

The primary inventor is Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth, which tells you this isn't some fringe experiment. The digital immortality market is projected to hit $61 billion by 2030, and Meta would be perfectly positioned to cash in.
⚖️ The Part Where Everyone Gets Uncomfortable
It's being called the most Black Mirror thing to come out of the AI era, and the obvious read is that keeping a dead person's account active is great for engagement metrics.
The unresolved legal questions around consent and post-mortem privacy rights are a mess nobody has figured out yet. Meta says there are no current plans to implement this. Sure.
