- A new text-to-SVG tool (https://omnisvg.github.io/) is claimed to outperform Star-Vector and adds tracing capabilities, though its open-source status was questioned.  
- The first live birth achieved with a “digitally controlled, remotely operated ICSI system” was reported in Reproductive BioMedicine Online (https://www.rbmojournal.com/article/S1472-6483(25)00150-6/fulltext), highlighting AI-guided micro-manipulation in fertility treatment.  
- A GitHub guide to CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) advanced packaging was shared (https://github.com/mikeroyal/CoWoS-Guide), providing open resources for high-density semiconductor integration.  
- Participants are rapidly prototyping with AI-assisted workflows: one member burned through $30 of OpenRouter credits using Claude 3.7-Sonnet to auto-generate lithography masks, 2-D games, and an ESP32 mesh-camera firmware scaffold integrated via PlatformIO and the Aider CLI.  
- DIY lens fabrication for optical or bio applications was discussed, with the assertion that material and manufacturing costs should be low enough for home experimentation.
