AI SHOCKS Again This Week: OpenAI Garlic, Google Titans, Apple Clara, GPT 5.2, AGI Claims…

OpenAI triggered a reported code red after Google’s Gemini 3 surged, leaks surfaced about the secret Garlic model, Apple quietly rewrote how AI searches long documents with CLaRa, Microsoft slashed voice latency to near-instant, Chinese labs unveiled live avatars that can run for hours, Tencent shipped a fast video model that works on consumer GPUs, and Google revealed Titans, a memory-based system built for massive context. In the middle of all that, OpenAI released GPT-5.2, a major technical upgrade that still sparked skepticism instead of hype.

🚨 Why It Matters:
This week wasn’t about a single model. It was about acceleration across the entire stack — memory, agents, video, voice, open source, and enterprise AI all jumped forward at once. Models are getting smarter, cheaper, and more capable in real-world environments, while trust, stability, and control are becoming the real constraints. The AI race is no longer just about who builds the best model, but who can ship systems people actually rely on every day.
