Google's $20 per month AI Pro plan just got a big storage boost
Google's $20 per month AI Pro plan , which includes Gemini, Veo and Nano Banana, got a big storage boost and some other new perks. Users of the plan (also available for $200 per year ) will see their cloud space jump from 2TB to 5TB at no extra cost. That extra storage can be used not only for AI but also Gmail, Google Drive and Google Photos backups. Gemini can now pull context from Gmail and the web for Drive, Docs, Slides and Sheets, provide summaries for your Gmail inbox and proofread emails before you send them. It's also introducing additional agentic help with Chrome auto browse "that handles those tedious, multi-step chores — like planning a trip or filling out forms," Google VP Shimrit Ben-Yair wrote on X . Finally, Google announced that it's bundling its Home Premium subscription

Finally, Google announced that it's bundling its Home Premium subscription into AI Pro, a perk that usually costs $10 per month by itself. The storage and extra features are now available for new and existing subscribers. You may not see the benefits appear in your plan yet but it's definitely not an April Fool's joke, Ben-Yair assured X commenters.

The Self Driving Portfolio: Agentic Architecture for Institutional Asset Management
arXiv:2604.02279v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic AI shifts the investor's role from analytical execution to oversight. We present an agentic strategic asset allocation pipeline in which approximately 50 specialized agents produce capital market assumptions, construct portfolios using over 20 competing methods, and critique and vote on each other's output. A researcher agent proposes new portfolio construction methods not yet represented, and a meta-agent compares past forecasts against realized returns and rewrites agent code and prompts to improve future performance. The entire pipeline is governed by the Investment Policy Statement--the same document that guides human portfolio managers can now constrain and direct autonomous agents.

AssetOpsBench: Benchmarking AI Agents for Task Automation in Industrial Asset Operations and Maintenance
arXiv:2506.03828v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI for Industrial Asset Lifecycle Management aims to automate complex operational workflows, such as condition monitoring and maintenance scheduling, to minimize system downtime. While traditional AI/ML approaches solve narrow tasks in isolation, Large Language Model (LLM) agents offer a next-generation opportunity for end-to-end automation. In this paper, we introduce AssetOpsBench, a unified framework for orchestrating and evaluating domain-specific agents for Industry 4.0. AssetOpsBench provides a multimodal ecosystem comprising a catalog of four domain-specific agents, a curated dataset of 140+ human-authored natural-language queries grounded in real industrial scenarios, and a simulated, CouchDB-backed IoT environment. We intro

PRO-SPECT: Probabilistically Safe Scalable Planning for Energy-Aware Coordinated UAV-UGV Teams in Stochastic Environments
arXiv:2604.02142v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider energy-aware planning for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) team operating in a stochastic environment. The UAV must visit a set of air points in minimum time while respecting energy constraints, relying on the UGV as a mobile charging station. Unlike prior work that assumed deterministic travel times or used fixed robustness margins, we model travel times as random variables and bound the probability of failure (energy depletion) across the entire mission to a user-specified risk level. We formulate the problem as a Mixed-Integer Program and propose PRO-SPECT, a polynomial-time algorithm that generates risk-bounded plans. The algorithm supports both offline planning and online re-planning, enabl

Optimizing Interventions for Agent-Based Infectious Disease Simulations
arXiv:2604.02016v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) are commonly used tools for controlling infectious disease transmission when pharmaceutical options are unavailable. Yet, identifying effective interventions that minimize societal disruption remains challenging. Agent-based simulation is a popular tool for analyzing the impact of possible interventions in epidemiology. However, automatically optimizing NPIs using agent-based simulations poses a complex problem because, in agent-based epidemiological models, interventions can target individuals based on multiple attributes, affect hierarchical group structures (e.g., schools, workplaces, and families), and be combined arbitrarily, resulting in a very large or even infinite search space. We aim to suppor

Transforming OPACs into Intelligent Discovery Systems: An AI-Powered, Knowledge Graph-Driven Smart OPAC for Digital Libraries
arXiv:2604.01262v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditional Online Public Access Catalogues (OPACs) are becoming less effective due to the rapid growth of scholarly literature. Conventional search methods, such as keyword indexing and Boolean queries, often fail to support efficient knowledge discovery. This paper proposes a Smart OPAC framework that transforms traditional OPACs into intelligent discovery systems using artificial intelligence and knowledge graph techniques. The framework enables semantic search, thematic filtering, and knowledge graph-based visualization to enhance user interaction and exploration. It integrates multiple open scholarly data sources and applies semantic embeddings to improve relevance and contextual understanding. The system supports exploratory search, s

From BM25 to Corrective RAG: Benchmarking Retrieval Strategies for Text-and-Table Documents
arXiv:2604.01733v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems critically depend on retrieval quality, yet no systematic comparison of modern retrieval methods exists for heterogeneous documents containing both text and tabular data. We benchmark ten retrieval strategies spanning sparse, dense, hybrid fusion, cross-encoder reranking, query expansion, index augmentation, and adaptive retrieval on a challenging financial QA benchmark of 23,088 queries over 7,318 documents with mixed text-and-table content. We evaluate retrieval quality via Recall@k, MRR, and nDCG, and end-to-end generation quality via Number Match, with paired bootstrap significance testing. Our results show that (1) a two-stage pipeline combining hybrid retrieval with neural reranking achieves
