Israeli forces opened fire on at least two vessels in an aid flotilla sailing towards Gaza on Tuesday, according to video footage and flotilla organisers, but Israel said no live ammunition was used and there were no casualties. The flotilla was making a renewed attempt to deliver aid to Gaza after earlier missions were intercepted by Israel in international waters. Video from the flotilla’s live stream showed soldiers firing shots at two of the boats. The type of ammunition fired was not clear. Advertisement “At no point was live ammunition fired,” the Israeli foreign ministry said in a statement. “Following multiple warnings, non-lethal means were employed toward the vessels – not toward protesters – as a warning. No protesters were injured during these events,” it added. The Global Sumud Flotilla later said that all 50 boats in the flotilla had been intercepted in the eastern Mediterranean, with 428 participants from more than 40 countries detained, including 78 Turks.

It said the activists would be allowed to meet their consular representatives.

IRGC Says It Foiled US Arms Shipments To 'Terror Groups' Near Border With Iraqi Kurdistan Via The Cradle Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement on Monday that it foiled an attempt to smuggle a large shipment of US-made weapons and ammunition into the country . "Counter-revolutionary terror groups based in north Iraq, acting on behalf of the US and Zionist regime, intended to transfer a large shipment of brand-new US weapons and ammunition into the country. They were targeted and struck in Baneh, Kurdistan Province. Large quantities of weapons and ammunition were discovered and confiscated," the statement said. Arms seizure image circulated by IRGC in state media The statement added that intelligence efforts are ongoing to identify and arrest all internal collaborators allegedly linked to the armed groups. The IRGC Hamzeh Sayyed al-Shuhada Headquarters warned " all mercenary elements , their agents, and their leaders that any security-related action will be met with severe force, and … a regret inducing response." The announcement comes as Washington has been seeking to arm separatist Iranian Kurdish groups in order to destabilize the Islamic Republic. At the start of the war, reports said that US President Donald Trump was seeking to turn Kurdish militias into a "ground force" within Iran . Kurdish groups opposed to the Islamic Republic denied last month US claims that Washington armed their fighters during the January 2026 unrest in Iran. Last week, Trump slammed Iranian Kurds for "stealing" US weapons and failing to deliver them to "protesters" and dissidents who, according to Washington, were willing to fight against Iranian forces. "The Kurds take, take, take," the president told reporters, adding that they "kept" the weapons and "only fight hard when they get paid." Iranian Kurds were heavily involved in the 2022 armed riots, which broke out in Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini. Former US national security advisor John Bolton ...

Gemini App 月活超 9 亿， 月 Token 处理量每月 3200 万亿 ，Nano Banana 生成超过 500 亿张图片…… 在今天凌晨刚刚结束的 Google I/O 大会上，Google CEO Sundar Pichai 上来就抛出了这些数字。 过去一年，AI 成了所有行业的主旋律，Gemini 在 Google 的定位，也开始从一个独一的 App，成了所有 Google 产品里的最重要的 AI 底层能力。 这次发布会也先从模型开始，进一步带到 Coding 和 Agent 产品。 Gemini Omni 把 Google 的视频生成推向「世界模型」方向，Gemini 3.5 Flash 则是和 AI 编程工具一起推向 Agent 开发平台。 这两个能力随后进入 Google 的完整生态，搜索、Gemini App、Flow、Spark、Chrome、XR 眼镜和电商场景。 Gemini Omni 登场，视频界的「Nano Banana」时刻来了 发布会最先被重点展开的是 Gemini Omni。我们做了一组和 Seedance 2.0 的对比视频，看看两者的差别。 Google 则是将 Gemini Omni 描述为一个能够「从任何输入创造任何内容」的新模型。 它把 Gemini 的推理能力与 Google 既有的生成式媒体模型结合起来，目标是提升模型对世界的理解、多模态生成能力和编辑能力。 Google 强调，Veo、Nano Banana、Genie 等模型已经能生成视频、图片和交互式模拟，但 Gemini Omni 更进一步，开始处理动能、重力等更接近物理世界的问题。 发布会现场展示的案例包括蛋白质折叠解释视频。用户只需要输入类似「生成一个关于蛋白质折叠的黏土动画解释」的提示，Omni 就能把抽象科学概念转化成视频内容。 它还支持更自然的视频编辑。用户可以上传自己的视频，再用对话方式修改风格、加入元素、调整细节，甚至把一个普通圆形转成黑洞，把夜晚散步场景变成更具戏剧感的画面。 Google 的说法是， Gemini Omni 先从视频开始，之后会逐步走向「任意输入到任意输出」。 这也是 Google 一直把 Gemini 设计成多模态模型的原因。 首个 Omni 家族模型 Gemini Omni Flash 已在上线到 Google 产...

Meta Platforms Inc. is alerting thousands of employees that they’re being laid off, part of a restructuring aimed at improving efficiency and reducing costs as the company invests heavily in artificial intelligence. Emails were sent to some impacted employees in Asia on Wednesday morning, and US-based staff are expected to receive word early in their time zone as well, according to an internal memo. Staff are being encouraged to work from home while the company cuts roughly 8,000 roles from around the globe. This latest round of cuts is expected to hit Meta’s engineering and product teams in particular and additional layoffs could come later in the year, said people familiar with the company’s plans, who asked not to be named as the information is not public. In the memo circulated on Monday, Meta announced that some 7,000 workers have also been reassigned to newly formed teams that are focused on AI initiatives, including products and agents. The company, which has committed well in excess of $100 billion to AI capital expenditures this year, had just under 80,000 employees at the end of March, ahead of the reassignments and layoffs. “We’re now at the stage where many orgs can operate with a flatter structure with smaller teams of pods/cohorts that can move faster and with more ownership,” Meta’s Head of People Janelle Gale said in the memo, which was reviewed by Bloomberg News. “We believe this will make us more productive and make the work more rewarding.” Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg has made AI the company’s top priority, committing all resources to keeping pace with rivals like Alphabet Inc. ’s Google and OpenAI . That’s led to changes to Meta’s workforce and the way it operates. The company has gone through waves of layoffs over recent years, as Zuckerberg has pushed for increased efficiency. He has encouraged engineers to use AI agents to assist with coding and other tasks, outlined plans to track employees’ devices to improve the technology, and ...
