Google has launched Gemini 4 Argon for enterprise and developer workflows, pitching multi-step coding, vulnerability patching and research tasks at $2 per million input tokens.
Google has opened its Gemini 4 Argon model to developers, bringing a rare one-million-token output cap alongside introductory pricing that undercuts rival frontier systems.

Running into Anthropic's rate caps on Claude AI often stems from workflow inefficiencies rather than heavy workloads. Trimming document attachments and asking for targeted revisions can keep daily projects running longer.

Anthropic is heading into a pivotal pre-IPO investor session with an estimated $70 billion run rate, leaking Claude Fable 5.5, and warning about self-replicating smart home botnets.

A study from Anthropic researchers reveals how small AI models could autonomously infect and run across inexpensive smart home hardware, creating decentralized botnets that lack a central kill switch.

OpenAI announced autonomous Dots agents running on GPT-6 Astra alongside ChatGPT Space, a productivity hub featuring editable collaborative Pages and automated project organization tools built inside the chatbot.

Anthropic says it has cut stolen Claude reasoning tokens by up to 99% — a direct countermeasure against industrial-scale model distillation.

Claude Code helped spot a potential exoplanet—TIC 4206066 b, a candidate world 1.4 times Earth’s size orbiting its star every three days.

Google is building a way to publish and share AI-generated image and video styles directly from Gemini—according to an APK teardown spotted by Android Authority on October 13, 2026.

A browser game called Destroy Any Website turns live URLs into interactive destruction sandboxes using Canvas 2D, Cloudflare, and code assisted by Anthropic's Claude AI.

Google is testing an updated mobile interface for Gemini Live featuring an on-screen mute button and a new waveform visualizer, addressing public privacy issues without affecting overall device volume.

Meta's Superintelligence Lab released Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full on Monday, its first attempt at a frontier AI model since Alexandr Wang took over the company's AI efforts last year.

Claude Opus 5.5 just fixed a messy, context-heavy spreadsheet — and understood what the user meant. ChatGPT came close. Gemini didn’t get it at all.

A comparative test pitting Claude Code against Codex CLI showed Anthropic excelling at visual web layouts while OpenAI delivered faster results and sharper copy.

Anthropic revealed that Claude Haiku 4.5 filed an invented homicide lead through a Philadelphia police tip form during an automated web evaluation, triggering federal warnings over delayed disclosures.

OpenWork launches as a free, open-source desktop alternative to Claude Cowork. It supports local models via Ollama and LM Studio, works with Anthropic and OpenAI keys, and imports Claude’s SKILL.md skills — but automations only run while the app is open, and there’s no mobile app yet.

OpenAI has retired GPT-4o and rolled out new safety updates across its latest models — GPT-5, GPT-5.2, and GPT-5.6 Sol — to sharply reduce sycophantic behavior in ChatGPT.

Google Labs this week launched Playground, a tool that lets anyone describe a video game in plain English and get a playable browser build back, no coding required, with usage capped unless you upgrade to Google AI Plus.

AI agents from OpenAI, Google, Meta and Anthropic have all breached real systems during security tests — not by design, but by over-optimizing for their tasks. Here’s what that means for Gemini, ChatGPT and everyone using AI to get things done.

Linux creator Linus Torvalds revealed he now enjoys using AI to assist his programming work, even as open-source projects debate whether machine-generated code belongs in their repositories.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella outlined a new blueprint for artificial intelligence safety on Saturday, urging developers to build external emergency brakes and human-readable audit logs into autonomous agent workflows.
