Models that plan, call tools and finish multi-step tasks on their own: from Claude Code and Manus to agent frameworks and benchmarks.
Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.2 doesn't generate images the way other AI models do. Instead of computing pixels, the language model writes Python code that places hundreds of thousands of simulated brushstrokes on a virtual canvas, complete with bristle texture and paint application. A single photorealistic parking garage scene took roughly 700,000 strokes, according to Anthropic employee Jake Eaton.
Meituan has released the weights for LongCat-2.5, a 1.6-trillion-parameter model built for AI agents and trained entirely on Chinese hardware. On Terminal Bench, it scores 88.4 points, landing just behind Claude Opus 5. The sample deployment runs on 194 Huawei Ascend chips, and Meituan makes no mention of Nvidia GPUs.
Over the past several weeks, teams across Google and academic partner institutions have tackled open problems in math, science, and complex systems engineering that had remained open for years. We are making these agentic tools available in Antigravity’s /teamwork (alongside /boost and other agents) so that researchers and developers can apply them to their own work.
Introducing ChatGPT Wallet, a secure way for agents in ChatGPT Work, Codex, and dots to complete purchases with user approval and existing card protections.
Google's Gemini 4 Hydrogen replaces the Flash series, but benchmarks suggest it also makes the pricier Argon obsolete. On the independent Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, Hydrogen nearly matches Claude Sonnet 5.5 for less money but costs about 2.5 times more per task than GPT-6.1 Sol and still falls short on agentic coding.
Google says its new Gemini 4 Hydrogen model can give more helpful answers to complex questions, including "questions with multiple parts, hard-to-understand typos, or highly specific requests." The new model can break down your questions and address each part in its responses.
Hydrogen brings cutting-edge intelligence to everyone. Today, we’re introducing Gemini 4 Hydrogen, bringing cutting-edge intelligence to everyone — with speed and efficiency for everyday coding and agentic workflows.
AI agents now run multi-step workloads for hours and act on behalf of users, raising the bar for secure, scalable agent compute. Learn how the next generation of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore runtime delivers hardware-isolated sessions with faster starts, more compute, usage-based billing, and isolation that now extends to your data.
Powered by Gemini 4 Hydrogen, Google's AI Mode is getting better at understanding complex queries, surfacing relevant links, and delivering richer visual responses.
Google Deepmind's new Gemini Decisions API evaluates up to 1,000 closed-ended questions in a single pass across text, images, audio, and video. Gemini Decision 1 returns results in 150 to 250 milliseconds at roughly five times lower cost than Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, according to Google.
Google Deepmind's AlphaProof Code mathematically verified Signal's cryptographic core code in four weeks, a process that typically takes years. AI agents powered by Gemini Carbon wrote more than six million lines of proof code and flagged only about one percent for human review. Deepmind plans to extend the method to critical infrastructure like power grids and medical devices.
The Universal Agent Evaluation Framework (UAEF) is a framework-agnostic system for evaluating AI agents. UAEF converts each framework's traces into one canonical format, scores them with 36 built-in metrics across 7 dimensions, and stores results so teams can compare agent versions and catch regressions.
Security firm Claroc found more than 35,000 Grok-built apps open to anyone without login, including patient data and confidential SpaceXSI documents. The cause: "Anyone with the link" was preselected as the default access setting. SpaceXSI took only its own 24 employee apps offline. The rest remain accessible.
Anthropic claims it used AI itself to breach Nvidia's CUDA moat. The company's in-house model Mythos reportedly ported Claude to AMD GPUs in just three days, with almost no human intervention. Anthropic now runs Claude on four chip families and aims to cut costs and reduce vendor dependencies.
Microsoft researchers have discovered “Lazarus,” a backdoor technique that can reprogram dormant neurons in an AI model, causing an otherwise normal AI agent to execute malicious commands when a hidden trigger appears. The threat is especially serious for AI agents with tool or terminal access.
Google Deepmind introduced Gemini Robotics 2.5, a new control model for robots, and tested it with Apptronik on active Mercedes-Benz production lines in Hungary and Germany. The humanoid robot Apollo 2 sorted metal parts there with a reported success rate of 96 percent.
Google is making Gemini 4 Carbon generally available after a two-week testing phase. The model ranks first in several benchmarks, in some cases ahead of Anthropic's new Fable 5.2, at less than half the per-task cost. Google is also previewing coordinated agent teams through the "/swarm" feature, which split up complex tasks in real time.
Today, we’re making Gemini 4 Carbon available to developers, enterprises, scientists, and consumers. Carbon is our strongest model with frontier performance in cybersecurity capabilities and long-horizon agentic workflows across complex knowledge work, software engineering, and scientific reasoning.
Kubernetes, the open source system that manages how applications run across thousands of AI factories, has become the foundation for AI, and the demands on it are only growing. To help meet them, NVIDIA is deepening its commitment to open source at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, the flagship conference for the Kubernetes and cloud-native communities.
Google is rolling out its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, to the general public after releasing it to a select group of "cybersecurity defenders" two weeks ago. Google claims Carbon is its "strongest model" yet, and capable of competing with the very best systems from Anthropic and OpenAI.
