LangChain just shipped an agent that debugs other agents, and the meta-recursion is somehow not the interesting part here. Polly lives inside LangSmith and does what you'd expect from an AI agent engineer: analyzes traces with hundreds of steps, spots failure patterns across multi-turn conversations, and rewrites system prompts based on natural language descriptions of what you want.
AI-native CRM
“When I first opened Attio, I instantly got the feeling this was the next generation of CRM.”
— Margaret Shen, Head of GTM at Modal
Attio is the AI-native CRM for modern teams. With automatic enrichment, call intelligence, AI agents, flexible workflows and more, Attio works for any business and only takes minutes to set up.

In the ever-expanding universe of data, the term “Data Science” has become a familiar star, representing the practice of extracting insights and knowledge from data. However, as the scale and complexity of data have grown to astronomical proportions, a more specialized and powerful field has emerged: Computational Data Science. While these two terms sound similar and are often used interchangeably, they represent different, albeit related, disciplines.
Installing AI capabilities just became as simple as npm install. Vercel dropped a CLI tool that lets you add Skills to AI agents the same way developers add packages to projects. No configuration, no manual setup, just npx skills i vercel-labs/agent-skills And you're done.
China's Z.ai just dropped GLM-4.7-Flash, a 30B model that crushes benchmarks you'd expect from much larger models. It hits 59.2% on SWE-bench Verified and 79.5 on agentic tool-use bench - while staying light enough for local deployment. Beyond coding and agentic tasks, it handles creative writing, translation, and roleplay, making it surprisingly versatile for local deployment.
Claude Cowork was just released, and open source is already iterating faster than enterprise can price. Just five days later, Composio shipped Open Claude Cowork, a free, open-source desktop agent built using Claude Code itself, because Cowork's $200/month subscription is too steep.
AI can help you move faster, but real leadership still requires human judgment.

Anthropic's Claude Code is having its "ChatGPT moment" among both developers and hobbyists, with the viral excitement fueling a selloff in traditional software stocks and investors fearing a new era of AI-built 'selfware.'A Morgan Stanley SaaS index is down 15% YTD, with stocks from major software companies like Intuit, Adobe, and Salesforce dropping double digits.
Elon Musk’s xAI just activated Colossus 2, a single-site AI training cluster. It already draws more power than San Francisco. FYI, you’re looking at: A 1 GW AI supercomputer, purpose‑built for training the Grok series Running on dedicated grid lines, on‑site substations, and liquid cooling. So, Colossus 1 launched in about 122 days. Then, Colossus 2 followed just as fast, at even bigger scale. Everything happens in one location.
The New York Stock Exchange is building a new digital trading platform using blockchain technology to allow for around-the-clock trading of tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds. The platform will launch later this year, pending regulatory approval.
Anthropic published its fourth Economic Index, providing a deep dive into 2M Claude chats — revealing that most AI usage still looks more like collaboration than replacement, with humans in the driver's seat for the majority of tasks. AI handles around 1/4 of tasks in almost 50% of all jobs, up from 36% last year, but full role replacement is happening at under 10% of firms.
The Gold standard for AI news
