Anthropic has introduced cross-session messaging for Claude Code, allowing separate AI coding sessions on the same computer to exchange short updates, findings and requests while work is in progress. The feature is available from Claude Code version 2.1.224 on macOS and Linux. It is designed for people running several sessions in parallel, for example on …
Google has introduced Gemini 3.7 Flash, a new version of its lower cost AI model aimed at coding, workplace tasks and AI agents that use software tools. The company is offering an introductory API price of $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens through the end of 2026. Prices are set …
Google is positioning the Pixel 11 family less as a hardware refresh and more as a vehicle for Gemini features that can act across apps, handle routine requests and reshape how photos are processed. The new phones introduce agent-like Gemini tasks, expanded translation tools and AI camera functions, while the Pixel Watch 5 extends Google’s …
SpaceXAI has launched Grok Bot, a beta service that lets users assign ongoing work to AI agents that can operate apps and websites through their own computer environments. The release comes alongside Grok 4.6, a new model that SpaceXAI positions for coding, knowledge work and longer agent-led tasks. Grok Bot is initially available on macOS, …
Nvidia has introduced Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, an open artificial intelligence model designed for high volume agent tasks, alongside NeMo Switchyard, a tool that routes tasks between different AI models. Kyt Dotson reports for SiliconANGLE that the releases target companies that use AI agents for a mix of routine requests and more demanding reasoning work. Nemotron …
AI coding agents can now plan experiments, write software, run tests, inspect failures and revise their work with limited human supervision, according to a detailed personal case study by Google DeepMind researcher David P. Reichert. Reichert writes in his Substack that recent tools such as Anthropic’s Claude Code should be understood less as chatbots and …
Meta has released Muse Glimmer, a 30-billion-parameter AI model that developers can download, modify and run on powerful personal computers. The move marks a renewed commitment to openly available model weights after Meta shifted its newer Muse family toward proprietary releases earlier this year. Glimmer is available under the Apache 2.0 license, which permits commercial …
Raw benchmark rankings can hide the factors that determine whether an AI agent is useful and affordable in day-to-day work: time limits, token budgets and failed attempts. Laurie Voss writes for VentureBeat that Alibaba’s Qwen 3.8-Max illustrates the gap. Alibaba reports strong coding results with time limits of up to five hours, and as much …
Liquid AI has released LFM2.5-2.6B, an open-weight language model built to run AI agents directly on local hardware, including laptops, smartphones and Raspberry Pi computers. Carl Franzen reports for VentureBeat that the model targets companies that need lower latency, tighter data control or lower operating costs than cloud-based AI can offer. The 2.6 billion parameter …
AI startup Hark has unveiled Handoff, a computer-use agent designed to complete tasks in a web browser, from ordering food to booking flights and contacting job candidates. Carl Franzen reports for VentureBeat that public sign-ups have opened, with initial access planned later this month. For every task, Handoff creates a separate virtual computer with a …
