🤖 Claude Code prints token usage receipts

Developer Chris Hutchinson connected a thermal printer to Claude Code to print real receipts after each session. The receipts show token usage by model, input and output counts, total cost, and a QR code.

Claude Code is an AI platform where token consumption can add up quickly. The receipts use the SessionEnd hook and support Epson printers, HTML, or ASCII art in terminals.

🔍 Google unveils Gemini Omni video model

Google introduced Gemini Omni, a model that creates videos from any input: images, sound, video, or text. It can even turn a simple hand drawing into a full scene.

Gemini Omni understands physics and combines this with Gemini's real-world knowledge and reasoning. It also allows video editing by voice commands, adjusting actions, angles, or lighting.

Each edit builds on the previous one, keeping characters consistent and preserving the scene's physics. The model maintains context for the entire video instead of editing frames independently.

🔍 Google launches generative search interface

Google is rolling out a free generative search interface that builds custom visual tools and simulations tailored to each query. It analyzes the question, designs a response layout, fetches data, and generates interactive code on the fly.

The search creates small apps for every question, offering more than just text answers. Soon, multiple AI agents will be integrated to handle different tasks directly within search, starting with information agents.

These agents scan the entire web, including blogs, news, social media, and real-time data on finance, shopping, and sports. This aims to deliver constantly updated results specific to user queries.

🍏 Apple turns Siri into chat bot in iOS 27

In iOS 27, Siri becomes a standalone chat bot app with dialogue history, accessible via Siri or a swipe down from the center screen.

Chats auto-delete by default after 30 days, a year, or never, unlike competitors that require manual incognito modes. Apple also limits what Siri remembers and for how long.

Siri will function like ChatGPT or Claude, offering conversational AI with privacy controls built in.

Apple is also updating Genmoji, its AI emoji generator, to suggest emojis based on photos and common phrases, improving on last year’s clunky launch.
