Google ranks the best AI for building Android apps, and the winner isn’t Gemini

Google launched the Android Bench benchmarking portal in March to help software developers evaluate AI models for Android app development. The leaderboard was updated last week to include open-weight models and new metrics for latency, tokens, and cost. Matthew McCullough, Google's VP of Product for Android Development, stated that the goal is to provide a benchmark for evaluating large language models (LLMs) in Android development. As of May 18, GPT 5.5 is the top AI model for Android app development, with Gemini 3.1 Pro and GPT 5.4 ranked as joint leaders. Android Bench evaluates LLMs based on real-world challenges and tasks sourced from public GitHub repositories. Other benchmarking tools in the Android ecosystem include Jetpack Microbenchmark, Jetpack Macrobenchmark, Firebase Performance Monitoring, Android Vitals, Apptim, and Android Performance Analyzer. The overall benchmark score on Android Bench is calculated using four core values: Confidence Interval Range, Average Latency Score, Average Total Tokens Score, and Average Cost. The test harness for Android Bench is publicly available on GitHub.

Whoop is introducing live in-app access to licensed medical professionals for real-time consultations, allowing users to share biometric data.

Whoop is also developing AI features, including “My Memory” for managing personal information and “Proactive Check-Ins” for tailored suggestions. The Whoop Journal will allow users to log supplements and habits, with AI analyzing inputs for behavior trends. Upgrades to underlying technology are planned, but costs for clinician consultations remain undisclosed.

I never understood the appeal of a jumbo novelty d20 until I saw one inspired by one of my favorite new RPGs

Die Hard Dice has launched a new collection of d20 dice inspired by the RPG Esoteric Ebb, which is anticipated to be a top RPG of 2026. The collection includes three products, with two sets packaged in different colored bags (purple or orange). Each set contains three standard-sized d20s representing main characters from the game: Snell (a translucent green and blue die for the goblin rogue), Meek (a purple and white die for the wearable mimic), and Ettir (a dark brown die with a gold finish for the angelic character). Each die features a unique symbol corresponding to its character. Additionally, there is a metal die called The Cleric, which has blue and white faces and an electroplated finish. The game itself is noted for its immersive experience and innovative gameplay elements introduced by developer Christoffer Bodegård. Pre-orders for the dice are available, with fulfillment expected by June.

This new app may free Galaxy Watch owners from Samsung’s phone-locked features

A new application called the GeminiMan Wellness Companion has been developed for Galaxy Watch users by Dante63, who previously created a patched version of the Samsung Health Monitor. The app allows users to record electrocardiogram (ECG) data from the Galaxy Watch, providing detailed reports and AI-driven analysis through a mobile app. It can track heart rhythm and rate, flagging abnormal rhythms, which the Samsung Health Monitor does not. Users can personalize their measurements with notes and create multiple profiles for different users. The app ensures data security through encryption and offers export options for ECG reports in CSV or PDF formats. Future updates will include blood pressure recording and additional health metrics like blood oxygen levels and sleep patterns. The development roadmap is available on the GeminiMan Wellness Companion GitHub page.

If you’ve got a CMF Watch, the Nothing X app is taking over: this is what you need to know

Nothing will phase out the CMF Watch app, removing it from app stores on April 3, and users are encouraged to migrate to the Nothing X app. Full functionality of the Nothing X app is expected by July 19, 2026. Users must begin transferring their data now, which will deactivate their CMF Watch app accounts. The Watch 3 Pro, launched in July 2025, features a four-channel heart rate sensor, 131 sports modes, a 1.43-inch AMOLED display, dual-band GPS, and a battery life of 13 days. CMF Watches offer budget-friendly options and have received a million investment from Optiemus to enhance their capabilities. CMF operates independently from Nothing, headquartered in India, and has created around 1,800 jobs.
