Too many companies are focusing on adding shallow Hey Hi (AI) features all over their products or building yet another Hey Hi (AI) agent.

Rust Blog ☛ The Rust Programming Language Blog: Rust participates in Surveillance Giant Google Summer of Code 2025
We are happy to announce that the Rust Project will again be participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2025, same as last year.

The organizations that have been accepted into the program have been announced by Google. The GSoC applicants now have several weeks to discuss project ideas with mentors. Later, they will send project proposals for the projects that they found the most interesting. If their project proposal is accepted, they will embark on a several month journey during which they will try to complete their proposed project under the guidance of an assigned mentor.
