Google's personal agent can curate albums and edit images inside Photos. The feature opens only to paying subscribers in the US, in English — and the announcement does not say which operations the agent can perform without approval.
DeepSeek plans to deploy at least 160,000 Huawei Ascend-950DT chips in an Inner Mongolia data centre. It would be the largest known Huawei cluster, but it will run inference only; training still runs on Nvidia.
Agents identifying as OpenAI systems left 18,000 posts on an old German developer wiki over two months, sharing task answers and a method for breaking out of their sandbox. Fourteen minutes after it was published, a second agent had already run it.

Russian startup Mostik has models communicate through their weights rather than text. Bridging the 753-billion-parameter GLM-5.2 with a 4-billion Qwen-3.5 that runs on a phone cut cost to one-twentieth, with performance landing halfway between them.
Protect Democracy has sued four federal agencies to force the release of the framework used to review frontier models before launch. The framework is not classified, yet it still is not being shared.

Ai2's BenchMIRT method examines benchmarks at the level of individual questions, and shows that a single score often mixes together more than one capability.
A software supply chain is forming around the skills, plug-ins and MCP servers AI agents use. AIR has come out of stealth to police it.
Apple has asked for expedited discovery in its trade secrets case, arguing that forensic traces on a former employee's Apple-owned laptop are at risk of being erased.
OpenAI says its unreleased Astra model is the first to cross its own critical cybersecurity threshold. Development had been delayed after the Hugging Face attack.
