OpenAI just introduced Workspace Agents in ChatGPT, new Codex-powered shared bots designed to tackle multi-step team workflows autonomously across ChatGPT and Slack. Workspace agents are pitched as an 'evolution' of 2023's solo-user GPTs, with old GPTs still working for now and a conversion tool coming soon.
Stop babysitting your coding agents
Agents can generate code. Getting it right for your system, team conventions, and past decisions is the hard part – you end up wasting time and tokens in correction loops.
MCPs give agents access to information but not understanding. The teams pulling ahead use a context engine to give agents exactly what they need.

Data annotation problems often stay hidden until the AI model fails. Explore how not having the right approach creates delays, repeats work, and prevents AI models from improving as fast as teams expect.
Claude Code is a powerful AI coding tool, but the subscription fees add up fast. A new open-source project called free-claude-code fixes that completely. Here's the idea: it sits between Claude Code and the internet as a proxy (a middleman that translates requests). It routes Claude Code's API calls to NVIDIA NIM, giving you 40 free requests per minute, or to OpenRouter, LM Studio, or llama.cpp for local use.
Anthropic’s new study shows average productivity at 5.1 of 7, “scope expansion” as the top benefit, and one in five users worried about being displaced.
Coding agents have upended software engineering. The role is now shifting from building machines to designing and honing them. Engineers now focus less on precise lines of code and more on whether software produces the right outcomes over time. This shift changes what should be evaluated in interviews. This post looks at how Sierra redesigned its engineering interview process from the ground up to reflect this new reality.
Smarter browsing. Your data never leaves the room.
Most AI tools are a trade — your data for intelligence. Norton Neo breaks that deal. Powerful built-in AI, anti-fingerprinting, VPN, and ad blocking come standard. No setup. No add-ons. No compromises. Search, summarize, and write with AI that works inside your browser and stays there.

AI News:
Access to Anthropic's Mythos model reportedly leaked into a Discord group within days of launch, after the users reportedly guessed the company’s deployment URL and naming using patterns leaked in the recent Mercor breach. The cybersecurity model was released on April 10 to select partners under ‘Project Glasswing’, with Anthropic deeming it too powerful for public release.

Google Cloud is coming for Nvidia. The company announced that its eighth generation of custom-built AI chips, or tensor processing units (TPUs), will be split in two – the TPU 8t, geared for model training, and TPU 8i, aimed at interference. The TPUs offer up to 3x faster AI model training, 80% better performance per dollar, and the ability to get 1 million+ TPUs to work together in a single cluster.
Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform evolves Vertex AI with new tools to build, scale, govern, and optimize agents across multi-day workflows, plus access to 200+ models including Claude, Gemma 4, and Gemini 3.1 Pro.
Huge news for Indian IT firms. OpenAI is partnering with Indian IT giant Infosys to integrate its AI tools (including its Codex coding assistant) into the company’s Topaz AI platform. The integration will be used to help its clients modernize software development, automate workflows and deploy AI systems at scale, initially focusing software engineering, legacy modernization, and DevOps.
Tesla plans to spend roughly $3 billion on building a research chip factory in Texas. The research facility will be built on Tesla's existing Giga Texas campus. It will be capable of outputting just a few thousand wafers per month, but it is more of a testing ground for new technologies and processes than a mass manufacturing facility. Tesla plans to leverage Intel's most advanced production process, 14A, which should be mature and ready by the time Tesla's plan scales up.
AI Tutorial
Create a persistent AI version of yourself
Go to https://www.pika.me/onboarding and create an account or log in.
Complete the onboarding process by defining your personality traits, communication tone, interests, and preferences. The better your inputs, the more your AI Self will actually sound and feel like you.
Customize the appearance of your AI Self, whether to resemble you or take on a completely different identity. If available, you can also upload voice samples to match your speech.
Start training your AI Self through conversation. Interact with it regularly, provide feedback, and correct any responses that don't align with your communication style.
You can connect your messaging platforms such as Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, or Google Chat to extend your AI Self across the platforms you use daily.
You can use your AI Self to reply to messages and DMs across platforms, chat casually, brainstorm ideas, draft reports, generate content, and much more.
AI can help you move faster, but real leadership still requires human judgment.
