AI Will Never Be Conscious
In his new book, A World Appears, Michael Pollan argues that artificial intelligence can do many things—it just can’t be a person.

Anthropic’s weekslong battle with the Department of Defense has played out over social media posts, admonishing public statements, and direct quotes from unnamed Pentagon officials to the news media. But the future of the $380 billion AI startup comes down to just three words: “any lawful use.” The new terms, which OpenAI and xAI have […]
ProducerAI, an AI-powered music-making platform, is joining Google. As part of the deal, Google will fold ProducerAI under the Labs umbrella and power the tool with a preview version of its new Lyria 3 music-making AI model. ProducerAI is a music-making platform that allows users to work with an AI agent to generate sounds, workshop […]
Claude Code is a developer tool for developers. And yet, over the last year and especially the last few months, the team at Anthropic has seen a huge number of people, across industries and disciplines, figure out how to access their terminal so that they could build new stuff too. Few AI products have found […]
On Tuesday, Anthropic announced updates to its Claude Cowork platform that allow the AI to help with a wider range of office tasks. Claude Cowork can now connect with several popular office apps, including Google Workspace, Docusign, and WordPress. New pre-built plug-ins can also automate tasks in a range of fields, including HR, design, engineering, […]
Nimble uses AI agents to search the web, verify and validate the results, and then clean and structure the information into neat tables that can then be queried like a database.
New Relic is giving enterprises more observability tools, letting them create and manage AI agents, and better integrate OTel data streams.
It’s a major opportunity to grow Anthropic’s enterprise client base — and a significant threat to SaaS products currently performing those functions.

The model supports questions spanning the full reproductive health spectrum, from early menstrual cycles through menopause.
Meta is buying billions of dollars in AMD AI chips in a multiyear deal tied to a 160 million-share warrant, deepening its push to diversify beyond Nvidia and expand data center capacity.
Wyclef Jean used Google’s AI music tools on his new song “Back in Abu Dhabi.”
There is a lot of talk around AI agents taking over business processes and claiming that “SaaS is dead.” While these predictions have moved SaaS stocks at times, they haven’t really come true.
The company said that a new agent being introduced in Opal will allow users to create mini-apps that can let them plan and execute tasks using text prompts.
The Pentagon has given Anthropic until Friday to loosen AI guardrails or face potential penalties, escalating a high-stakes dispute that raises questions about government leverage, vendor dependence, and investor confidence in defense tech.

Markets weigh whether incumbents will adapt — or be sidelined by AI agents
It’s an open secret (that is, not many people seem to know) that the institutions keeping the global financial system turnig over run code that is ancient, barely understood, and frighteningly hard to replace. Now, AI is finally making that problem solvable – and the market has responded with a reality check for one of […]

In this tutorial, we build an advanced Griptape-based customer support automation system that combines deterministic tooling with agentic reasoning to process real-world support tickets end-to-end. We design custom tools to sanitize sensitive information, categorize issues, assign priorities with clear SLA targets, and generate structured escalation payloads, all before involving the language model. We then use […]

In the world of Generative AI, latency is the ultimate killer of immersion. Until recently, building a voice-enabled AI agent felt like assembling a Rube Goldberg machine: you’d pipe audio to a Speech-to-Text (STT) model, send the transcript to a Large Language Model (LLM), and finally shuttle text to a Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine. Each hop […]

For the past year, AI devs have relied on the ReAct (Reasoning + Acting) pattern—a simple loop where an LLM thinks, picks a tool, and executes. But as any software engineer who has tried to move these agents into production knows, simple loops are brittle. They hallucinate, they lose track of complex goals, and they […]

Large context windows have dramatically increased how much information modern language models can process in a single prompt. With models capable of handling hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of tokens, it’s easy to assume that Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is no longer necessary. If you can fit an entire codebase or documentation library into the context window, […]

In the competitive arena of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), progress has long been bottlenecked by human intuition. For years, researchers have manually refined algorithms like Counterfactual Regret Minimization (CFR) and Policy Space Response Oracles (PSRO), navigating a vast combinatorial space of update rules via trial-and-error. Google DeepMind research team has now shifted this paradigm with […]

While some dual investors are understandable, others were more shocking, and signal the disregard of a longstanding ethical conflict-of-interest rule.
The viral X post from an AI security researcher reads like satire. But it’s really a word of warning about what can go wrong when handing tasks to an AI agent.
