It’s a treat to read every blog post from the Anthropic Engineering team. Token costs and latency are bottlenecking your MCP-powered agents. Every tool definition you expose gets loaded into context upfront, and every intermediate result has to round-trip through the model, even when the agent is just moving data from Point A to Point B.
Introducing Voice AI Agents on WhatsApp
WhatsApp has always been where customers start conversations. Now, with Synthflow, those conversations can continue seamlessly over calls — answered directly by Voice AI Agents.
Enterprises can finally manage WhatsApp calls with the same automation, analytics, and security as phones.
The result: faster resolutions, 24/7 coverage, and a unified system for every customer call, whether it starts on telephony or WhatsApp.
Data engineering is fascinating, if not fulfilling career. You are at the helm of every business operation that requires data, and as long as users generate data, businesses will always need data engineers. In other words, job security is guaranteed.
Microsoft Research released SentinelStep, a mechanism that teaches agents to wait, watch, and act at the right time. Built into their AI agent framework, Magentic UI, SentinelStep handles the two things agents consistently mess up: knowing when to check, and managing context over long durations.
Microsoft's new Azure ND GB300 v6 VMs just hit 1.1 million tokens per second running Llama2 70B inference - a 27% jump over their previous record with GB200 chips. Each Blackwell Ultra GPU pushes 15,200 tokens/sec, that’s nearly 5× faster than H100 instances at FP4 precision. The instances are now available on Azure for enterprise production inference workloads.
Google launched the Jules extension for Gemini CLI, letting you spin off coding tasks to an autonomous agent that works in the background. The workflow is straightforward: use /jules to delegate tasks like module conversions or refactoring, and Jules spins up a VM to clone your code and make changes while you keep working in your main CLI session.
Free music/podcasts, access to lightning deals, and try before you buy are just a few of the many perks that Prime has to offer. Make sure you're not missing out, and get the most out of Amazon Prime.

Sandbar, a startup founded by former Meta designers, launched Stream Ring — an AI wearable that captures whispered thoughts through a ring device and transcribes voice into organized notes while also doubling as a music controller.

Futurehouse just announced the launch of its commercial spinout Edison Scientific, alongside the debut of Kosmos — an autonomous AI research system that beta testers report can complete six months of scientific work in a single day. Kosmos coordinates cycles of literature review, data analysis, and hypothesis generation, processing 1,500 papers and executing 42k lines of code per run.
