By his own admission, David Robinson is “something of a cliché”: an employee at a leading AI company who issues a dire warning while resigning from their job.

We created a list of the most notable AI agents that can live in your text messages, from general assistants to agents designed for families, travel, and work.

TL;DR: Meta’s Muse, OpenAI’s Dots and Uber’s driver assistant share one bet: the agent speaks first. That moves the hard problem from what to answer to when to interrupt, on which channel, and with what offer. Classic ML and new decision models can solve it. Three launches, one pattern From pull to ...

IBM has made a self-hosted deployment of IBM Bob, its agentic software development platform, generally available. Enterprises can now run Bob on premises, in private or sovereign clouds, and in air-gapped networks. They bring their own model: NVIDIA Nemotron or Poolside Laguna for full isolation, or...

Prime Intellect has launched Prime Inference, an OpenAI-compatible platform for serving frontier open models on NVIDIA Blackwell. Its GLM-5.3 deployment uses Dynamo, vLLM and NVFP4 KV compression to serve 66 sessions per prefill group at 101 tok/s per user. The post Prime Intellect Launches Prime In...

Microsoft AI has released MAI-Transcribe-2-Streaming, its first real-time speech-to-text model. It ranks #1 of 38 models on Artificial Analysis AA-WER Streaming. It scores 2.5% WER at 0.13s on final transcripts and 2.5% at 0.12s on first partials. It covers 60 languages with continuous language dete...

Meta wants Muse in your TV and your toaster, so it's giving the code away for free.

Sean Parker, who once taught the music industry what asking for forgiveness looks like, is now back with the labels' blessing and money.

Apple says it will add new controls around macOS’s Full Disk Access permission, warning that increasingly capable AI agents make broad access to users’ files, messages, mail, and browsing history riskier.

NVIDIA announced a new 64GB configuration of DGX Spark — from Acer, ASUS, Dell, Gigabyte, HP and MSI — its GB10-powered desktop AI system. It gives developers a way to start with one system for local models and agents, then cluster two 64GB units for 128GB of memory across the cluster and more compu...

With all the talk about how AI might one day ill us all, it's easy to forget that AI has already harmed some people, psychologically. Circuit Breaker Labs has created "crash test dummies" to solve that.

Enterprise AI is no longer a future ambition. It is in full operational flight. Model capabilities are advancing faster than most organizations can absorb, while the cost of performance continues to fall. Globally, AI investment is set to reach $2.5 trillion in 2026, up 44% from the previous year. F...

Blackstone's Jas Khaira will take the Builders Stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 on building next-gen AI. Register for your pass and get 50% off a second.

On an afternoon in Seoul in March 2016, I watched a program I helped build put a stone on the fifth line of a Go board in what looked like a gift to its human opponent. Move 37 in game two of the five-game match looked so absurd that some commentators thought it was a…

AWS's Strands Agents team released Strands Decider 2B, an Apache-2.0 decision model built on Qwen3.5-2B-Base. It returns choices, yes/no probabilities and scores with calibrated confidence in one forward pass, never text. It runs at a 115 ms median on an RTX 3090 and scores 0.723 on the JevBench pub...

Cloudflare has released Clef (27B) and Clef-flash (9B), open-weight decision models that return typed probabilities instead of text. They are Jev-API compatible, accept images, and run on Workers AI at 209.3 ms and 38.8 ms median latency. The post Cloudflare Releases Clef and Clef-flash: Open-Weight...

In the cognitive economy, intelligence becomes abundant, and markets reorganize around direction, judgment, and values. This article explores how competitive advantage shifts when AI transforms cognition into infrastructure—reshaping strategy, governance, productivity, and the future of human roles....

OpenAI is rolling out new shopping features for ChatGPT that let users virtually try on clothing and accessories using their own photos and save products they like to a Favorites library.

Cohere has released Embed 5, a new embedding model family. It targets enterprise search, RAG, and agentic retrieval. The model family ships in 2 tiers. Embed 5 Pro targets maximum retrieval quality.
