Video: Android. Watch the Gemini glasses in action (29s video)
The AI Field: Google's first Gemini glasses went up for pre-order on Thursday. They were made with Samsung and two eyewear brands, Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, and they look like regular frames. Inside are a camera, open-ear speakers and Gemini, which you talk to by saying "Hey Gemini" or tapping the frame. They go on sale in stores and online on December 10.
The details:
Price: Warby Parker's three styles (Alden, Reid and Wren) start at $395 in optical or sun versions, with prescription lenses available. Gentle Monster's six designs start at $449.
What they do: Ask about what you are looking at, add it to your grocery list, check an event poster against your calendar, get Google Maps directions in your ear, or have a conversation translated in real time across more than 70 languages.
Hardware: About 41 grams, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, up to nine hours of battery and a charging case that recharges them up to seven times.
Who can buy: Only people with US or South Korean Google accounts, 18 and over. They work with iPhone 13 Pro and newer as well as recent Pixel and Galaxy phones, but some features, like Guided Vision for people with low vision, need an Android phone at launch.
Why it matters: This is Google's serious attempt at AI glasses people wear all day, priced like a nice pair of frames instead of a headset. The camera is the sensitive part. Google says a light shows when you record, recording stops if the light is covered, and bystanders' faces are blurred before Gemini processes an image. If you are curious, book a demo at one of the 360+ Warby Parker stores and check that your phone is supported before you pre-order.

Have an AI agent call an airline for your refund
Cobey's flights were thrown off by a snowstorm in January, and he never got his money back. He says his Meta Muse called American Airlines for him and came away with a $750 refund. Meta opened Muse's phone calls to all paid US subscribers on Thursday, so any paying US user can now ask for this. The Agent Field has not verified the result.
1. Gather your confirmation code, ticket numbers and travel dates, so the agent doesn't have to guess.
2. Paste this prompt into an agent that can make phone calls, and fill in the brackets:
"Call [AIRLINE] customer service about my flights on [DATES] from [CITY] to [CITY], confirmation code [CODE]. The flights were [CANCELLED / DELAYED] because of [REASON] and I never got a refund. Ask for a refund to my original card, not a voucher or travel credit. Before the call, tell me what you plan to say and what you'll share about me. If they offer anything other than a cash refund, put me on hold and ask me first. Afterwards, send me a short summary with the agent's name, any reference number and when the money should arrive."
3. Hold out for a refund to your card, not a voucher. Under US Department of Transportation rules, airlines owe you a refund when they cancel or significantly change a flight and you don't accept the alternative. Keep the reference number until the money lands.

GOOGLE · SEARCH
Source: Google
The AI Field: Google released Gemini 4 Hydrogen on Thursday, a faster model in its Gemini 4 family, and put it straight into Google Search for all users globally. Google calls it the biggest model upgrade to Search yet. You can also pick it in the Gemini app's model menu.
The details:
In Search: Google says you can ask long, multi-part questions, even with typos, and get more tables, images and links to a wider range of sites.
In the Gemini app: Google says it sticks more closely to your tone and format rules, so drafts come back ready to use with less back-and-forth.
Speed: Google says it finishes tasks 2.5 times faster than Gemini 3.8 Flash and scores 51 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, one point above Gemini 4 Argon.
For developers: $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens, flat across its 1 million-token context.
Why it matters: Most people will use Hydrogen without ever choosing it, every time they search. Try asking Google one long question you would normally split into three searches, like comparing two laptops against your budget, and open the links it cites before you act on the answer.
ANTHROPIC · IPO
Source: Anthropic
The AI Field: Anthropic launched an official IPO website on Thursday with its first public financial highlights. It brought in $17.0 billion in revenue in the third quarter, more than 12 times as much as a year earlier. The site also explains how regular investors can ask a broker for shares before trading starts.
The details:
Customers: More than 11,900 customers paid Anthropic at least $100,000 over the past 12 months, as of September 30.
Profit: Adjusted operating margin was 15%, but the net loss was $23.3 billion. That includes a $21.9 billion non-cash charge tied to Anthropic's rising valuation.
Timeline: The price range is $70 to $78 a share. The final price is expected on November 18 (US Eastern time), with trading on Nasdaq as ANT expected from November 19.
Who can join: You request shares through a participating broker. Retail investors in Switzerland and nine European countries, including Sweden, Germany and France, can also take part.
Why it matters: This is the first time regular people can try to buy into a frontier AI lab at the offering price. There is no guarantee you will get any shares, and first-day prices can swing a lot. If you want in, read the prospectus, check whether your broker takes part, and decide how much you are willing to risk before you request shares.
