Perplexity AI has launched Personal Computer for Windows, bringing its AI agent platform to over one billion devices globally. The tool lets users work across local files, Microsoft Office 365, and the web in a single workflow. It integrates with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams, and connects to plus apps via App Connectors, including Snowflake, Salesforce, and HubSpot. Since launching earlier this year, Computer has performed over $9.4 billion in labor-equivalent work. It is available today for Max and Enterprise Max subscribers.

Using Claude Mythos Preview, Anthropic researchers discovered two significant cryptographic weaknesses. The first is an improved attack on HAWK, a post-quantum digital signature scheme under NIST consideration, effectively halving its key strength after just 60 hours of semi-autonomous work costing roughly $100,000 in API costs. The second improves attacks on round reduced AES by 200–800×. Neither affects production systems today, but both demonstrate frontier AI's growing ability to find mathematical flaws in cryptographic algorithms before deployment.

xAI has launched Build Mode, a new beta feature for Grok that lets users create websites, apps, games, and interactive dashboards through conversational chat. Available exclusively to SuperGrok Heavy subscribers on grok.com, iOS, and Android, Build Mode generates working code and live previews directly inside the chat window with no installation or configuration required. Users can publish finished projects to a grok.me link or a custom domain and share them instantly. Examples include 3D driving games, business landing pages, planners, and live data dashboards.

Ai2 has launched the OlmoEarth Platform, infrastructure for running its family of Earth observation foundation models — pretrained on roughly 10 terabytes of multimodal satellite data — at planetary scale. The platform supports continent-scale inference in about a day, processing dozens of terabytes of imagery at fractions of a penny per square kilometer. A recent North America wildfire-risk map used 19,600 CPUs and 994 GPUs in parallel, achieving a 155× speedup. Target users include governments and NGOs working on deforestation monitoring, food security, and wildfire risk.

Google has updated Managed Agents in the Gemini API with several new features. Gemini 3.6 Flash is now the default model for the antigravity-preview-05-2026 agent, requiring no code changes. New environment hooks let developers run custom scripts before or after tool calls inside the sandbox to block, lint, or audit actions. Additional updates include budget controls via max_total_tokens, scheduled triggers using cron syntax, a free tier for API key projects, and an Environments API for managing sandbox sessions.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has clarified that Anthropic has never advocated for banning open-weights AI models, pushing back against accusations that the company sought protectionist restrictions. Instead, Amodei outlined three policy priorities: blocking chip and chipmaking equipment sales to China, cracking down on industrial-scale model distillation that lets adversaries partially evade chip restrictions, and requiring mandatory safety testing for all sufficiently capable models regardless of origin or whether weights are open or closed.

The Trump administration is nearing completion of a voluntary AI framework requiring companies to submit advanced models to the government before public release. The White House Office of the National Cyber Director circulated a draft to OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google roughly two weeks ago, and the three companies jointly submitted edits. The framework, mandated by a June 2 executive order with an August 1 deadline, was prompted by Anthropic's Mythos model. Reviews will be conducted by the NSA and the Center for AI Standards and Innovation.

Meta is rolling out a software update for its Ray-Ban Display glasses in the US, introducing Threads support and an upgraded Meta AI powered by Muse Spark models. Users can browse Threads feeds, view media, and engage with posts hands-free via voice commands. The Muse Spark upgrade delivers smarter answers, better visual understanding, and more helpful suggestions. Early Access Program users in the US and Canada can also use neural handwriting via the Meta Neural Band to interact with Meta AI silently by writing on any surface.

Anthropic and Cognizant have expanded their partnership, making Cognizant a Global Premier Partner in the Claude Partner Network. More than 30,000 Cognizant associates have completed Claude training under its new Frontier Certified workforce model. Claude is being embedded across platforms including Flowsource, Neuro AI Engineering, and Neuro IT Ops. Client deployments include an agentic contract-intelligence system that cut biopharmaceutical contract review time by 40 percent, and a risk-navigation tool saving underwriters roughly eight hours per week.

Microsoft has launched MAI-Cyber-Flash, a compact security AI model integrated into MDASH, its multi-agent vulnerability identification and remediation harness. Announced by Mustafa Suleyman and Hayete Gallot, the model handles up to 90% of security tasks efficiently, reserving GPT-5.4 for the hardest 10%, cutting costs 50% versus the previous GPT 5.4 setup. The combined system scores 96% on CyberGym, beating Mythos, Gemini, and GPT, while Microsoft also launched Perception, a new agentic security monitoring system.
