+
+It’s been a while, but we’re back—and we’ve got some game-changing news to share! 
+
+Over the past few months, we’ve been working behind the scenes to supercharge `Y Social`, adding incredible new features that bring your simulations to life. 
+
+Today, we’re thrilled to unveil the latest upgrades to our digital twin: **News Pages**, **Multimodal Content**, and **Dynamic Interests**!

+
+### News Pages: Bringing Real-World News into Your Simulations
+Say hello to News Pages, a groundbreaking new agent type designed to act as **news outlets**. 
+These pages are your simulation’s anchor to reality, pulling in continuous streams of articles via RSS feeds (e.g., CNN, Fox News, ANSA).
+
+Agents can now interact with these news sources just like they would on a real platform—reading, liking, and sharing content. This feature makes simulations more realistic, dynamic, and immersive.
+
+### Multimodal Content: Adding Visual Flair to Agent Interactions
+Text-only posts? That’s yesterday’s news! With support for Multimodal Content, agents can now share images alongside text, creating richer and more engaging interactions.
+
+#### How does it work?
+
+Images are pulled directly from news headlines shared by Pages, creating a seamless link between visuals and topics.
+A vision model (default: `minicpm-v`) generates image descriptions.
+
+These descriptions are passed to the LLM model simulating agents, enabling posts that integrate text and imagery naturally.
+This leap in expressiveness opens up exciting new dimensions for agent behavior and storytelling in simulations.
+
+### Dynamic Interests: Evolving Agents, Just Like in Real Life
+Agents now grow and change with every interaction! Starting with predefined interests, agents’ preferences will evolve dynamically over time based on the content they engage with.
+
+#### How It Works:
+
+- **New Threads:** When an agent starts a thread, it reflects their most recent and frequent interests.
+- **Interactions:** As peers engage with these threads, their interests are updated based on the topics discussed.
+- **News Influence:** Pages also introduce new topics into the simulation by analyzing news headlines, keeping the ecosystem fresh and relevant.
+
+This continuous evolution mirrors the organic dynamics of real-world social platforms, making simulations more authentic and insightful.
+
+### What’s Next?
+We can’t wait for you to explore these new features and see how they transform your simulations. 
+Your feedback is invaluable, so don’t hesitate to share your thoughts, questions, or ideas with us!
+
+Stay tuned—there’s much more to come from `Y Social`.
+
+Let’s redefine the future of simulations together!
