  1. Ask Play adds video answers with citations and timestamps

    Google’s October 2026 system release notes say Ask Play can include relevant videos with citations and timestamps in responses. Google Play Store 53.8 also adds Sidekick Playbacks, which retroactively captures the previous 30 seconds of gameplay and stores the video locally, and shareable links for Play Shorts on Android, other platforms and the web. Google Play Services 26.42 adds phone pairing for Android XR glasses and background pairing for true wireless stereo earbuds. The release notes warn that some features may be experimental or limited to certain users. Compatible Android XR devices, phones and earbuds were not fully specified, and Google has not published a universal rollout schedule for the Ask Play video citations or pairing features.

  2. NVIDIA details Shopify's Nemotron 3.5 Lightning post-training for Sidekick

    NVIDIA published a blog post describing European retailers using open models and physical AI across commerce and fulfillment, led by Shopify's work on its Sidekick merchant assistant. According to the post, Shopify post-trained NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning for a GraphQL subagent inside Sidekick, using the NVIDIA Megatron Bridge library for fine-tuning and NVIDIA NeMo RL for reinforcement learning, with the subagent retrieving store data for features such as Sidekick Pulse. NVIDIA says that on Shopify's internal benchmark the post-trained model surpassed a leading frontier model in accuracy while cutting serving costs by 90% and responding 7x faster, and that NVIDIA CCluster vLLM optimization delivered 4.5x faster performance and up to 12x lower inference cost across five other use cases. The post also cites Zooplus rebuilding product discovery with the Nemotron Retriever library to reach 86% search accuracy in a prototype, plus Photoroom, Omi with L'Oréal, Otto Group and Mirakl deployments.
