  send you. In local news, new AI -native radiology
• 2:56
  practices claim to improve the efficiency of
• 2:59
  radiologists, and in some cases, better diagnose
• 3:02
  patients using artificial intelligence. Here
• 3:06
  and now's Indira Lakshmanan speaks with Katie
• 3:08
  Palmer, a health tech reporter with our editorial
• 3:11
  partner, SteA -Kit. about how artificial intelligence
• 3:15
  is impacting the field of radiology. The segment
• 3:19
  aired on September 30th, 2026. Now onto sports.
• 3:30
  Tonight on Thursday Night Football, the Pittsburgh
• 3:33
  Steelers head to Huntington Bank Field to face
• 3:36
  the Cleveland Browns, both teams sitting at 2
• 3:39
  -1 in an early AFC North measuring stick. Kickoff
• 3:44
  is 8 .15 Eastern on Prime Video. Aaron Rodgers
• 3:49
  has been the story in Pittsburgh, counting off
• 3:51
  three touchdown passes and nearly 300 yards through
• 3:55
  the air in a win over Joe Burrow, with a retooled
• 3:58
  offensive line opening things up for Jalen Morin
• 4:01
  on the ground. Cleveland's turnaround has been
• 4:04
  quieter, but just as real. Deshaun Watson has
• 4:09
  thrown for 382 yards with four touchdowns and
• 4:13
  no interceptions over his last two outings, adding
• 4:16
  over 100 yards rushing. Cleveland's line is banged
• 4:20
  up, with guard Alton Jenkins questionable against
• 4:24
  a Pittsburgh pass rush that has troubled quarterbacks
• 4:27
  all season. An early divisional tiebreaker is
• 4:31
  on the line. In local sports, the Red Sox season
• 4:36
  is over. The Yankees beat them 9 -2 at Yankee
• 4:40
  Stadium, sweeping the wild -card series two games
• 4:44
  to none. Sunny Gray took the loss. Wilson Contreras
• 4:50
  and Nick Sogard each homered, but Boston scored
• 4:53
  just two runs all series. Now come the off -season
• 4:56
  questions. Roman Anthony's hand and wrist are
• 5:00
  the biggest one. The lineup finished September,
• 5:04
  last in the majors and batting average. And a
• 5:07
  lockout is widely expected to stretch out the
• 5:10
  winter. Meanwhile, Mike Frable and Drake May
• 5:14
  are shutting down Rift Talk after a WEEI report.
• 5:18
  Vrabel said, I'm here because Drake was the quarterback.
• 5:23
  May says there's no divide and his shoulder isn't
• 5:26
  an issue. The Patriots are one and two after
• 5:30
  a 35 to six loss at Jacksonville, and May has
• 5:34
  seven turnovers through three games. The Bills,
• 5:38
  a perfect three and O, come to Foxborough Sunday
• 5:41
  afternoon. On the ice, the Bruins play their
• 5:45
  first road game tomorrow night at Winnipeg eight
• 5:48
  o 'clock. New captain David Pasternak is the
• 5:52
  one to watch, and goaltending will decide it.
• 5:57
  In top news, tropical weather that surged onshore
• 6:01
  from the Pacific soaked more of the U .S. on
• 6:04
  Wednesday, while forecasters announced yet another
• 6:07
  hurricane off the coast of Mexico. This new hurricane,
• 6:11
  Rachel, is expected to develop rapidly and could
• 6:14
  become a major storm with sustained winds topping
• 6:17
  111 miles per hour. Parts of New Mexico looked
• 6:22
  less like the months of drought that dried up
• 6:25
  reservoirs and caused bears to roam neighborhoods.
• 6:29
  Floodwaters threatened the state's famous chili
• 6:31
  crop at harvest time. Acting Governor Howie Morales
• 6:35
  declared a state of emergency that made $3 ,750
• 6:40
  ,000 available to help affected people. Mexican
• 6:45
  authorities remain on alert due to Hurricane
• 6:47
  Rachel. In business news, China's securities
• 6:53
  regulator is raising the bar for public listings
• 6:56
  of humanoid robot startups, according to sources
• 6:59
  familiar with the China Securities Regulatory
• 7:02
  Commission's thinking. This reflects how one
• 7:05
  of the hottest sectors is cooling as investors
• 7:07
  assess whether artificial intelligence stocks
• 7:10
  are in a bubble. The regulator requires that
• 7:13
  humanoid applicants have sustainable revenue
• 7:16
  and commercial orders Losses must narrow and
• 7:19
  companies must possess core technology. Only
• 7:23
  a handful of startups may meet these criteria,
• 7:26
  lowering expectations for public markets. Investment
• 7:30
  in the sector hit 47 .09 billion won in the second
• 7:34
  quarter, more than double the first quarter.
• 7:38
  In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 3 % to about
• 7:42
  $84 ,000. Ethereum is down 2%. to about $3 ,000.
• 7:49
  At XRP is down 6 % to $1 .50. Moving on to a
• 7:56
  more local vibe. In our community spotlight on

  to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. And now
• 8:40
  back to the show. Let's talk tech. Boocal Parent
• 8:45
  Company Alphabet has launched Gemini 4 Argon.
• 8:49
  a new artificial intelligence model designed
• 8:52
  to handle tasks such as coding, research, and
• 8:55
  writing. According to Google, it excels particularly
• 8:59
  in cybersecurity. ARKAN is being rolled out to
• 9:03
  a select group of the company's cyber partners
• 9:05
  through its Fairwin program. This model is trained
• 9:09
  specifically for defensive cyber work, enabling
• 9:12
  it to autonomously find, validate, and patch
• 9:16
  critical software vulnerabilities. Additionally,
• 9:20
  Argon is noted for its coding and engineering
• 9:22
  capabilities. Google claims Argon scored significantly
• 9:26
  higher than OpenAIs, GPT -6 Astra, and Anthropix
• 9:31
  Spable and Opus models in various benchmarks.
• 9:37
  And in entertainment news, Prime Video's Neegley,
• 9:42
  the first -ever Reacher spinoff, is not only
• 9:45
  shaping a new era for the franchise, but also
• 9:48
  influencing Lee Child's literary universe. The
• 9:52
  series, which premiered on September 16th, has
• 9:55
  dominated charts in more than 25 countries. Penguin
• 9:59
  Random House recently announced Zero Margin,
• 10:02
  co -written by Lee Child and Yasmin Ango, marking
• 10:05
  Negley's first book. Child, who has stepped down
• 10:09
  from the main series, remains personally involved
• 10:12
  in this project, underscoring Negley's significance.
• 10:16
  As the show reveals Negley's backstory, it will
• 10:19
  be intriguing to see how zero margin aligns with
• 10:22
  or diverges from it. Well, all righty, folks.
• 10:27
  It's time for the quote of the day. And today,
• 10:31
  our quote comes from the American architect and
• 10:33
  inventor R. Buckminster Fuller. And he said,
• 10:39
  you never change things by fighting the existing
• 10:41
  reality. To change something, build a new model
• 10:44
  that makes the existing model obsolete. And that's
• 10:49
  a wrap for this morning. You can check out our
• 10:52
  Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating
• 10:56
  aerial videos with local news and the weather
