🤖AI Tools and Data Tools to checkout
Anthropic adds the advisor tool to the Claude Platform to simplify a common agent pattern. You run Claude Sonnet or Claude Haiku as the main agent, and bring in Claude Opus only for harder decisions. This setup keeps most execution at lower cost while still using a stronger model when reasoning becomes difficult.

Meta AI proposes a shift from models that use computers to models that act as computers. Instead of calling APIs or tools, the model executes tasks directly from learned behavior. The prototype trains on screen recordings and reproduces parts of real desktop and terminal workflows.
Google introduce ConvApparel, a new human-AI conversation dataset and a comprehensive evaluation framework designed to quantify the "realism gap" in LLM-based user simulators and improve the training of robust conversational agents. Modern conversational AI agents can typically handle complex, multi-turn tasks like asking clarifying questions and proactively assisting users.
Meta just scored a major win in the AI app wars. The company's standalone Meta AI app rocketed from No. 57 to No. 5 on the App Store within hours of launching Muse Spark, its latest AI model. The dramatic surge signals that consumers are hungry for AI tools outside of chatbot interfaces, and it validates Meta's bet on building a dedicated AI experience separate from Facebook and Instagram.
