Welcome to a new version of&nbsp;<em>The Verge Daily</em>! We've had a little overhaul to a leaner, meaner version of the newsletter with more of a focus on the absolute must-read stories of the last 24 hours. That's given us the space to squeeze in some of the brilliant artwork that&nbsp;<em>The Verge</em>'s art team creates every day. We'll be sending the email out an hour later too, at 8AM ET, to fit more of the big morning stories in.</p><p style="margin:0">
As for today, start with Robert Hart's brilliant explanation of how AI is about to transform academic mathematics, my look ahead to today's Google Pixel 11 launch, or Mia Sato's attempt to explain why your Amazon order emails have become so unhelpful lately.</p></div></td></tr></table><table class="divider_block block-4" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad" align="center"><table border="0"

Mathematician James Maynard has spent a lot of time this past year “soul searching.” A professor at the University of Oxford and winner of the prestigious Fields Medal, Maynard told <em>The Verge</em> he’s been grappling with the future of his field as the traditionally slow-moving discipline hurries to adapt to AI.<br><br>Days before we spoke, OpenAI revealed it had produced the solutions to 10 long-standing mathematics problems, some of which had confounded academics for decades.<br><br>
For Maynard and other mathematicians <em>The Verge</em> spoke to, the announcement has added to a complex swirl of emotions about where their field is headed. There is palpable excitement at the prospect of accelerating mathematical discovery — but also apprehension, and in some cases despair, about what this could mean for the people who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit, and for the generations of future mathematicians who will follow them. Few doubt that a profound upheaval is already underway.

Last year’s Made by Google event for the Pixel 10 resembled a late night talk show, complete with Jimmy Fallon as host, and it aired an hour after the phones were revealed. For tonight’s livestream, Fallon has been replaced by Trevor Noah, who will lead a “stacked” lineup of celebrities including basketball star Stephen Curry, podcaster Alex Cooper, and DJ Peggy Gou. What the event won’t have is many surprises. While the launch event kicks off at 6PM ET, the Google Store’s preorder countdown is set to end eight hours earlier, presumably when the phones will be revealed in full.
<br><br>
By the time Google’s stream starts, its most avid fans will know exactly what’s coming. Then again, for the most part, they already do. Google’s been one of the most adaptive companies when it comes to the modern proliferation of phone leaks. Last year it took the unusual step of simply revealing the Pixel 10 design in full almost a month ahead of the launch. This year it’s only showed glimpses of the Pixel 11 series, but in the process has revealed something that should excite most power users more than the launch itself: a notification light.

“Your Beauty item is confirmed!” an email about my retainer cleaning tablets read. Shoppers have posted other iterations of the redacted emails as well: “Ordered: 1 Hardware item,” “Your Drugstore, Shoes, and other items are here!” and “1 Nutrition & Wellness, 1 Wireless Accessories,” for example. The emails have clip art-style illustrations of general product categories, and a shopper has to exit their email and go to Amazon to see what item it’s actually referring to.<br><br>
AI is likely partially to blame.</p></div></td></tr></table><table class="button_block block-6" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad" align="center"><a href="https://link.theverge.com/click/47002545.10381/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhldmVyZ2UuY29tL2FpLWFydGlmaWNpYWwtaW50ZWxsaWdlbmNlLzk3NzczMy9hbWF6b24tb3JkZXItZW1haWxzLWdvb2dsZS1nbWFpbC1haS1hZ2VudHMtZGF0YT91ZWlkPWJjNjIwNzJjNzlhYzdiZTk5MDQyMGUzMzM1ZDBjOTUyJmJ4aWQ9NjkyNzgzMGQ1MmY5NzEzNzIzMDZjMThl/6927830d52f971372306c18eE327d9cf2" target="_blank" style="color:#ffffff;text-decoration:none;"><!--[if mso]>

For the 14th time, a Google product has hit 1 billion users. Google CEO Sundar Pichai posted on X that a billion people are using Gemini every month, and that Gemini is Google’s fastest-growing product ever.<br><br>
A billion users is a huge milestone, but Google isn’t the first AI app to hit it. OpenAI’s ChatGPT hit the mark a few weeks ago, though the company buried the announcement that “more than 1 billion people are putting ChatGPT to work” in an otherwise anodyne blog post about how people use AI. External data suggested ChatGPT crossed 1 billion users as early as this June, but OpenAI hadn’t announced anything until that post on August 6th. OpenAI spokesperson Lindsay McCallum says ChatGPT crossed 1 billion monthly users some time ago, and hit a billion a week in July.

Warning

Almost all the messages that arrive here are garbage! Resist the urge to click on any unexpected or questionable links.

It may happen that e-mail will claim to come from liamon.com, perhaps from some administrative role or process. There are no users with liamon.com addresses that should be sending anyone e-mail. There are no accounts to expire. There are no passwords to leak. These are certainly garbage messages. These are certainly phishing attempts in some messages.

Absolutely ignore those links!
