   Pulse on AI: Edge AI gifts, invisible devs, and agentic AI

   NVIDIA discounts Jetson developer kits as real-world edge AI projects—from a self-paddling canoe to underwater fish monitoring and factory humanoids—show what’s possible. Apple’s App Store Awards spotlight AI as an ingredient powering everyday apps like Tiimo, Detail, Strava, StoryGraph, and Be My Eyes. A Streamlit tutorial demonstrates how to productize inventory analytics for operations. The hiring market grapples with AI-fueled application overload, elevating referrals and practical assessments, while ZTE’s CDO outlines a pragmatic path for agentic AI with humans firmly in the loop. A research preprint proposes roundtrip verification to mitigate LLM hallucinations on invertible tasks. German authorities strike at deepfake-driven investment ad networks. The UK’s AI minister pushes faster adoption with guardrails, and NTT’s new Bengaluru data center campus underscores the compute buildout powering AI.

   Pulse on AI: Windows 11’s Slow Shift, Apple AI Shake-up, Pi Prices, COPE for Stroke, Ridelink’s AI Logistics, and re:Invent Week

   Max and AI expert Silvia Rennard break down why Windows 11 adoption is slower than expected despite Windows 10’s end-of-support, Apple’s AI leadership transition as Amar Subramanya steps in amid Siri delays, and Raspberry Pi’s price hikes fueled by AI-driven memory demand. They explore COPE, an open-source chain-of-thought framework for predicting stroke outcomes from clinical notes, and a hands-on k-NN classifier built in Excel. The duo dives into Ridelink’s AI-enabled logistics and embedded finance for SMEs, what to watch at AWS re:Invent 2025, Zig’s move from GitHub to Codeberg over Actions reliability and AI direction, and Huawei/SERES’s AITO M9 overseas rollout with ADS and satellite connectivity. The episode ends with actionable takeaways and a nudge to tap into free AI seminars this month.
