Anthropic just introduced Claude Marketplace in limited preview, creating a unified hub for businesses to discover and buy AI tools built on Claude. The move takes direct aim at enterprise procurement headaches, though specific partner integrations, pricing tiers, and wide availability details haven't been shared yet.
Perplexity just introduced Skills for Perplexity Computer, allowing the AI agent to learn actions once and reuse them across future tasks. Instead of repeating identical steps each time, the system stores workflows as reusable capabilities and applies them automatically. It essentially turns one-off demonstrations into persistent automation.
Microsoft just confirmed it will keep Anthropic's Claude models available across M365, GitHub Copilot, and Azure, defying the Pentagon's new supply-chain risk label. Microsoft lawyers concluded the restriction only bars the Department of War, leaving commercial customers unaffected. Why it matters: Despite political pressure and defense-tech defections, Microsoft is holding the line to protect customer model choice and its $5B bet on Anthropic.
OpenAI is testing custom writing templates for ChatGPT that analyze your past emails and documents to mimic your personal tone. Leaked UI also reveals an "Animate" button to push static images directly into video generation, basically cutting down the tedious prompt work needed to sound like yourself.
OpenAI just launched ChatGPT for Excel in beta, letting users build, analyze, and update spreadsheet models using plain English. Powered by GPT-5.4, the add-in preserves native formulas, asks for confirmation before editing workbooks, and traces logic cell by cell. It also introduces live financial data integrations with Moody's and Dow Jones Factiva.
OpenAI just launched GPT-5.4 across ChatGPT, the API, and Codex, packing native computer-use capabilities and a massive 1M-token context window. It tops human performance on desktop navigation with a 75% OSWorld score and cuts tool-calling token bloat by 47%. Best of all, you can now redirect its thinking process mid-response when a workflow drifts off track.
AWS just launched a pre-configured OpenClaw blueprint on Amazon Lightsail, making it effortless to host your own autonomous AI agent in the cloud. It comes pre-wired with Amazon Bedrock right out of the box, letting you link messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram to handle emails and web tasks privately.
Google just rolled out Canvas in Search's AI Mode to all U.S. English users, letting you draft documents and build custom interactive tools directly within Search. Selecting Canvas from the (+) menu creates a working prototype in a side panel powered by live web data and the Knowledge Graph, complete with viewable underlying code you can tweak via chat.
Google just added Cinematic Video Overviews to NotebookLM, replacing traditional narrated slides with fluid animations and rich visuals. Powered by Gemini 3, Nano Banana Pro, and Veo 3, Gemini acts as a creative director to steer narrative structure and maintain visual consistency. Why it matters: NotebookLM is transforming raw research notes into polished, documentary-style video summaries with zero editing. It is available today in English for Google AI Ultra subscribers (18+) on web and mobile.
OpenAI and theoretical physicists from Harvard and Cambridge just published a preprint showing certain graviton interactions long assumed to vanish are actually nonzero. Given earlier gluon work as context, GPT-5.2 Pro derived the gravitational extension using the directed matrix-tree theorem and drafted the initial paper. It shows frontier models moving beyond code assistance into actual mathematical discovery.
Google just launched Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, designed as its fastest and most cost-effective Gemini 3 model yet. At $0.25 per million input tokens, it delivers 2.5x faster time-to-first-token than 2.5 Flash and scored 86.9% on GPQA Diamond. Why it matters: Developers building high-frequency real-time experiences can finally scale up complex reasoning without blowing their budget.
Anthropic just crossed a $19 billion annual revenue run rate, more than doubling its numbers from late 2025. After CEO Dario Amodei refused Pentagon demands to use its AI for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons, Anthropic was labeled a supply-chain risk—triggering a consumer rally that pushed Claude past ChatGPT in daily U.S. mobile downloads.
OpenAI just rolled out GPT-5.3 Instant to make everyday ChatGPT chats noticeably smoother and less annoying. The update tones down preachy disclaimers, cuts unnecessary refusals on sensitive topics, and slashes web hallucinations in high-stakes areas by 26.8%. It is all about giving direct, useful answers instead of lecturing users.
Anthropic just upgraded its skill-creator tool with no-code testing and benchmarking features designed for non-engineer skill authors. The update introduces eval writing, parallel multi-agent test runs, blind A/B comparator agents, and a prompt optimizer to fix misfiring skills. Why it matters: as foundation models change, skills can quietly break or become redundant; this brings software testing rigor to workflow prompts without writing code.
xAI just rolled out Grok 4.20 Beta 2, focusing on tighter prompt adherence and fewer capability hallucinations. The update also improves LaTeX scientific text rendering, image search precision, and multi-image generation reliability. While official benchmark numbers haven't dropped yet, it marks another quick iteration to keep Grok on track.
OpenAI's mobile app just saw U.S. uninstalls surge 295% in a single day after announcing a deal with the Department of Defense, alongside a 775% spike in one-star reviews. Meanwhile, Anthropic's Claude surged past ChatGPT to claim the No. 1 spot on the U.S. App Store after publicly rejecting the same military contract over surveillance and autonomous weapons concerns.
Claude just launched an import feature that lets you transfer your preferences and context from other AI chatbots without starting from scratch. You simply run a provided prompt in your old chatbot to export your saved context, then paste it directly into Claude's memory settings. It is free and keeps project contexts neatly separated.
Anthropic just made Claude's Memory feature available to free plan users, along with easier options to import and export saved data. The feature lets Claude retain preferences and context across chats for a more personalized assistant without paying for a subscription. Best of all, users retain full control and can pull their memory data out whenever they want.
Claude just surged to the top of the US App Store as users flee ChatGPT following OpenAI's controversial Pentagon deal.
