Midjourney Unveils Full-Body Scanner for Health Spas
The Rundown AIhigh confidence
Why it matters
- →Midjourney's pivot could revolutionize health diagnostics with AI-driven body scans.
- →The scanner offers a faster alternative to traditional MRI scans, potentially increasing accessibility.
- →This move expands AI applications from creative to medical fields, showcasing versatility.
Midjourney, traditionally focused on AI image generation, has announced a new venture into medical hardware with a full-body scanner. This innovative device uses underwater ultrasonic sensors to complete a detailed body scan in just 60 seconds, aiming to match the detail of an MRI. The first Midjourney Spa, which will house these scanners, is planned to open in San Francisco in 2027. This development represents a bold new direction for Midjourney, potentially transforming routine health diagnostics with AI technology.

llama.cpp b12029 adds CUDA 13 and Snapdragon support
This release quietly cements llama.cpp as the universal inference runtime by finally supporting NVIDIA's latest CUDA 13 stack alongside AMD's ROCm 10.0. The inclusion of native builds for Linux arm64 with Snapdragon chips, covering CPU, Adreno GPU, and Hexagon NPU, signals a serious push into mobile edge deployment. While Apple Silicon KleidiAI is disabled in this specific build, the broader hardware coverage means developers no longer need to compile from source for most modern accelerators. It’s less about new features and more about removing friction for anyone running local models on bleeding-edge or diverse hardware.
