OpenMontage is an open-source AI video production system that hooks directly into assistants like Claude Code and Cursor. Give it a prompt, and it handles research, scriptwriting, voiceover, and editing. It even shows you storyboards and cost estimates first, clocking a 60-second sample animation at just $1.33.
OpenAI just rolled out Plugins for its agentic coding tool Codex, creating a dedicated package manager for AI workflows. The feature bundles skills, app integrations, and MCP servers into a single installable unit, letting teams replicate complex multi-tool setups with one click instead of manual configuration.
A new open-source agent skill lets developers recreate any website with pixel-perfect accuracy using /clone-website. Instead of guessing layouts in one massive prompt, it breaks components into strict specs under 150 lines and builds them in parallel git worktrees before running visual diffs. It basically fixes the habit of AI faking CSS spacing and fonts.
Researchers just introduced PSDesigner, an automated framework that turns text prompts into multi-layered Photoshop designs instead of flat images. A specialized multi-agent workflow collects assets, plans layouts, and iteratively refines the canvas through tool execution. Why it matters: It bridges the frustrating gap between one-shot AI generation and professional PSD editing workflows.
Cline just launched Kanban, a free, open-source local web app that runs multiple CLI coding agents in parallel on your git repo. Each task card gets its own isolated Git worktree and terminal, working out of the box with Claude Code, Codex, and Cline CLI. Why it matters: as running dozens of agents becomes standard, context switching is the real bottleneck—and turning terminal sprawl into an orchestrated pipeline solves it.
ARC Prize just launched ARC-AGI-3, a benchmark designed to evaluate how AI systems learn rather than what they already know. While humans score a perfect 100%, current AI models scrape under 1%. ARC Prize notes this stark divide demonstrates that genuine AGI has not yet arrived.
Sakana AI just had its automated research system, The AI Scientist, published in Nature. The agent autonomously handles everything from ideation and code execution to LaTeX writing, with one AI-generated paper previously passing human blind review at an ICLR 2025 workshop. The team also demonstrated a scientific scaling law: as underlying foundation models advance, paper quality rises in lockstep.
ByteDance just open-sourced Lark CLI under the MIT license, specifically designed for human developers and AI agents. It spans 18 enterprise domains—including Docs, Base, and Calendar—with over 200 curated commands. Why it matters: popular AI coding tools like Claude Code can now hook into and operate your entire Lark workspace with zero setup.
Figma just launched its MCP server in beta, letting coding agents like Claude Code and Codex design directly on the canvas using your team's real components and design tokens. Teams can also steer agents with Markdown-based "skills" to prevent off-brand AI output. It is free during the beta, with usage-based pricing coming later.
Ai2 just released MolmoWeb, an open-weight visual web agent that operates purely from browser screenshots without parsing HTML or accessibility trees. Available in 4B and 8B sizes, it arrives with MolmoWebMix, a dataset of 30,000 human web trajectories, beating open-weight rivals on live benchmarks like WebVoyager.
Anthropic just introduced Auto Mode for Claude Code, letting the AI agent execute tool calls autonomously without asking for approval on every step. A background classifier screens each action before it runs, blocking destructive moves like mass file deletion or data exfiltration while greenlighting routine tasks. It is now available in research preview for Team plan users.
OpenAI just expanded its Agentic Commerce Protocol to turn ChatGPT into a visual shopping hub, letting you compare products side-by-side and upload photos to track down similar items. Major retailers like Target, Best Buy, and Walmart are already plugged in, with Walmart rolling out a dedicated in-ChatGPT app with account linking.
ByteDance just open-sourced DeerFlow 2.0, an MIT-licensed agent orchestration harness designed for complex, multi-hour jobs. Instead of acting as a thin wrapper, a lead agent breaks tasks down and spins up isolated sub-agents inside Docker containers with dedicated filesystems and persistent memory. It works with local or cloud models like DeepSeek and GPT-4.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang just claimed on Lex Fridman's podcast that humanity has already achieved AGI. When pressed on whether AI could start and run a billion-dollar company, he quickly walked back the claim, noting that users usually lose interest in agents after a few months and the odds of 100,000 agents building another Nvidia are literally zero.
Anthropic just rolled out computer use in research preview for Claude Pro and Max subscribers inside Claude Cowork and Claude Code. Claude can now click, scroll, navigate files, and run browser tools on macOS and Windows, falling back to direct screen control when direct connectors aren't available. Paired with last week's Dispatch release, you can assign tasks on your phone and let Claude finish them at your desk.
Elon Musk just confirmed that xAI is preparing to roll out "Grok Computer," an AI agent built to take over screen, mouse, and keyboard inputs. The leak surfaced after users spotted a hidden toggle in Grok's web code, hinting at a trial run for the rumored Macrohard project. It is currently undergoing testing.
Anthropic just launched Channels for Claude Code, allowing developers to manage coding sessions directly through Telegram and Discord via MCP. You can now triage CI bugs and trigger fixes straight from your phone instead of being tethered to a terminal. It is currently in preview and requires a persistent local process.
GreenSock just rolled out gsap-skills, an official skill pack that teaches 40+ AI agents—including Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot—how to write clean GSAP code. It covers timelines, ScrollTrigger, and React patterns, basically stopping your coding assistant from hallucinating outdated animation syntax.
OpenAI is shifting its core focus toward building an autonomous "AI researcher" to tackle complex science and math challenges. Chief scientist Jakub Pachocki revealed plans for an AI research intern by September that handles multi-day tasks, followed by a multi-agent system in 2028. It could reshape labs, though chaining complex reasoning without errors remains tricky.
Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince just warned that AI bots will generate more online traffic than humans by 2027. While a person might browse five sites to research a camera, an AI agent often hits 5,000 for a single task. Why it matters: The web is bracing for a relentless, permanent surge in traffic that physical servers must somehow handle.
