  "summary": "Google DeepMind reports that four Gemini 4 Argon agents successfully beat Minecraft without human assistance. The agents completed the task in 27 hours and 14 minutes, with an estimated cost of $1,620 based on Argon's planned 2027 pricing. According to The Decoder, the agents were placed into a randomly generated world without being assigned specific roles, strategies, or game-specific tools.\n\nSeparately, Dogness (International) Corporation announced technical cooperation agreements with Google Cloud and the launch of a new-generation AI Pet Feeder. Built with Google Gemini, the feeder utilizes AI analytical models and algorithms to move beyond passive recording to active recognition. The device features a 120-degree ultra-wide-angle camera and high-definition night vision, using behavioral recognition to monitor pet status and alert owners to abnormal behaviors.",
