🤖 A Beginner’s Guide to Robotics Hardware

Building an open-source robot begins in a way that is familiar to assembling IKEA furniture…The similarity ends once the robot is powered on. A bookshelf is designed to stay exactly as assembled, whereas a robot has to move while remaining correct about its own position and the state of its surroundings…When designing and building robots, this need for correctness both numerically and temporally is a key consideration…

7 Top Autonomous AI Pentesting Platforms in 2026

Autonomous penetration testing is becoming one of the most important changes in offensive security. Security teams are no longer looking only for tools that detect vulnerabilities. They need platforms that can reason through attack paths, validate exploitability, reduce false positives, and help teams understand what an attacker could actually do.

🤖 How models may behave in real-world use before release (by OpenAI)

Traditional safety tests struggle to predict real-world AI behavior because models often realize they are being evaluated. Replaying past user conversations to simulate deployments fixes this, vastly improving risk forecasts and catching hidden flaws before release.

🤖 GitHub ships a desktop home for its coding agents

The code-hosting giant just made its Copilot app generally available on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Developers can now start a session from an issue, PR, or prompt, and even run multiple sessions in parallel, each on its own branch. The new canvases put you and the agent on the same plan, terminal, or browser, so progress stays steerable. Plus, you can also schedule recurring work in the cloud and bring your own model.

🚀Vercel open sources a framework for production agents

The cloud hosting platform just dropped eve, which treats an agent as a simple directory of files instead of a complex web of custom code. It comes with built-in durable execution, sandboxes, human approvals, and evals. The framework works with any model and any MCP server, and the same agent runs across Slack, Discord, and GitHub. More than a hundred agents already run it in production.

👀 Amazon is Hoping to Directly Challenge Nvidia

Watch out, Nvidia. Amazon Web Services is in talks to sell its AI chip Trainium to other companies for use in data centers, according to Amazon’s AI chief. If true, it might be one of the biggest challenges to Nvidia’s AI chip dominance we’ve seen so far.

🤝 OpenAI poaches a transformer pioneer from Google

OpenAI just hired Noam Shazeer away from Google, pulling in a Gemini co-lead whose 2017 transformer work helped shape modern AI — just two years after Google paid $2.7B to bring him back from his own startup, Character.AI. Shazeer started at Google in 2000, and co-authored “Attention Is All You Need” in 2017, a transformer paper that helped shape nearly every modern chatbot.

🎯 Grok Helped Run the Iran War

The chatbot you argue with on X helped run a war. The Pentagon’s AI chief swore Grok Gov hit 2,000 targets with 2,000 munitions in 96 hours. Lawmakers are now calling for combat guardrails.

⚡ Claude Code Now Builds Its Own Live Web Pages

Artifacts draw on the full session, the codebase, the connected tools, and the reasoning Claude Code worked through. One page can hold a failing test, the error spike from a monitoring tool, and the root cause in a single view. You can ask for a dashboard you sort yourself, a walkthrough of a pull request, or an incident page that grows as you investigate.

🛡️ Google DeepMind unveils AI Control Roadmap

As these agents become more capable, they also require more sophisticated safeguards. That’s why we developed our AI Control Roadmap: a framework for building and managing the advanced AI we deploy within Google.

AI Tutorial

How to analyze data in Excel using ChatGPT
