Turns out Meta's idea of open still needs a serious machine. Muse Spark Open runs 816 billion parameters with a 1 million token context window, and Meta claims it beats every other open-weight model in the country. It is natively multimodal, built for coding and agentic work, and tuned to run locally on Apple hardware... assuming you have a Mac Studio with a spare terabyte of RAM.
The AI coding startup just shipped Devin Oncall, its push toward self-driving software. The agent picks up production pages and bug reports before you do, then digs through logs and code. It either escalates with the severity, likely root cause, and a suggested next step or opens a tested PR. It remembers past incidents too, helping it skip roughly 60% of repeat investigations. It reportedly resolved half of AngelList’s incidents on its own.

Coding agents are churning out code faster than humans can review it, and the AI lab wants to close the gap. It just upgraded Code Review to Claude Team and Enterprise plans, cutting most reviews to 6–10 minutes from about 20. Eligible enterprise orgs can claim up to $50K in credits. Meanwhile, the Claude Code desktop app now splits parallel tasks into nested sessions, with a sidebar showing which ones need your input.
This tutorial walks through how this dev built Rakazo (a GrokBot alternative) from the first plan to a working agent. You’ll learn how he used Claude to build it, screenshots and emulators to verify that tasks actually worked, and bots to review and merge PRs as the project scaled.
Zero Results, Zero Sales
They came to your site ready to buy. They typed exactly what they wanted. And your search bar ghosted them.
Traditional site search relies on rigid, exact keyword matching. When a shopper uses natural language or makes a simple typo, they hit a “0 Results Found” wall and leave for a competitor.
Stop letting search bars ghost your best customers. Gladly understands shopper intent and turns dead ends into recommendations that keep shoppers buying.

AI News:
Apple Inc is gearing up to release its artificial intelligence (AI) platform in mainland China, following a lengthy regulatory delay that has kept the company’s AI features out of one of its most important markets. The iPhone maker is planning to launch Apple Intelligence in the region in December as part of an upcoming iOS 27.3 update, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
A fast AI answer isn't always a coordinated one. When AI resolves B2B issues without looping in the teams responsible for them, confidence outpaces alignment. A new Harvard Business Review Analytic Services briefing paper, sponsored by Front, looks at closing that gap.
Harvard researchers just found consistent gender gaps in how Americans use AI, get support for it, understand it, and appear in coverage of it, drawing on a survey of 5,400+ adults, browsing data, and 78K news articles. 29% of women said they’d never used AI vs. 22% of men, though browsing data showed no real gap in trying it, only in how much time users spent on it.
Anthropic is bringing independent outside experts into its labs to investigate AI risks and see whether its safety practices hold up. Six reviewers from nonprofit METR get access comparable to Anthropic’s internal risk teams. METR can publish findings on AI risks and internal safety practices without Anthropic’s approval.
NVIDIA just released Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, an open multimodal model built for specialized AI agents that need to reason across text, images, documents, video, and tools in one workflow. Main points: It has 120B total parameters but activates only 12B per token, using a Mixture-of-Experts architecture to keep inference efficient.
Amazon's Bee would like to remember your conversations so you don't have to. The $74.99 Bee Frontier clips to a wrist or a shirt, and the new $99.99 Bee Eclipse is a credit card sized slab that magnets onto the back of your phone. Both turn overheard talk into summaries and to-dos, with 14 days of memory free and $11.99 a month for more.

AI Tutorial
How to turn any topic into an animated explainer video with Grok Bot
Click here to check out an animated explainer video that a user created using Grok Bot. Photo:
Open Grok Bot, choose New > Create new Bot. Name it something like ‘Explainer Video Bot’.
Attach any source material you want it to use, such as PDFs, links, images, PowerPoints, or reference videos.
Sample Prompt: “Create a 60–90 second animated explainer about [topic] for [audience]. Research the topic carefully, identify the 4–6 ideas someone must understand, and turn them into a clear beginning-to-end story. Write concise narration, then create matching visuals and animations for each scene using simple diagrams, labels, charts, maps, or illustrative sequences where useful. Keep the tone [clear / playful / professional], and make the final video understandable without any prior knowledge.”
Let Grok Bot generate the visuals and assemble the narration using its video tools.
Review the first version and ask the Bot to shorten dense sections, clarify confusing visuals, or add citations for factual claims before generating the final cut.
Save the finished instructions, sources, and workflow inside the Bot’s setup so you can reopen the same Bot later and run it on a new topic.
