The search giant shipped Antigravity CLI, a lightweight terminal interface that runs the same agent harness as Antigravity 2.0 while syncing with your custom setup. Google’s AI Studio also got an upgrade that lets anyone build native Android apps, with users creating over 250,000 apps in the first week since launch.
Most AI agents demo well. Few ship real work.
Most AI agents can run a task. The problem is everything around it: setup, memory, context, cost, and figuring out what actually happened.
SureThing turns useful AI skills into autonomous agents with business context, persistent memory, cost-aware model selection, and a live dashboard. Paste a link, assign the work, and your agent reports back like a human teammate: what it did, what it cost, what needs your decision, and what happens next.
Built for founders, operators, and marketers who want AI to ship work, not become another tool to babysit.
Explore groundbreaking AI advancements reshaping data science. Uncover the top 17 essential AI tools every data scientist should be acquainted with in this insightful article.
The Musk-led AI lab just dropped an early beta of Grok Build for SuperGrok and X Premium Plus subscribers. This terminal CLI gives engineers the power to review or rewrite an agent's plan before execution and hand off bigger tasks to parallel subagents in their own worktrees. It automatically picks up existing AGENTS.md files, plugins, and MCP servers.
Hackers have been quietly poisoning free software packages that almost every app is built on. One group alone injected malicious code into over 160 packages, including a React tool with roughly 12 million weekly downloads. Install one, and attackers get a backdoor into everything you touch, including your AI tools. Perplexity just open-sourced their fix. It's called Bumblebee, the same tool they use internally to protect their own team.
This tutorial teaches developers how to set up and use Devin, an autonomous coding assistant. You'll learn to leverage the local CLI for your daily build, spin up cloud agents for complex tasks, run parallel sub-agents, and streamline workflows with GitHub, Slack, and Linear integrations.
Claude is not just a chatbot anymore. Is your security team ready?
Claude.ai is one thing. Agentic workflows, MCP connections, ungoverned skills taking actions across your data? That's a different conversation — and most security teams aren't equipped for it.
Harmonic Security gives your CISO the visibility and controls to say yes confidently.

Thor is different from most AI assistants: it reaches out to you, not the other way around. It monitors your Slack threads and meetings, spots action items, and surfaces them before they get dropped
AI News:
Pope Leo XIV just released Magnifica Humanitas, his first encyclical, to the Church’s 1.4B members, warning that a moral AI means nothing “if that morality is determined by a few” and calling to “disarm” the tech before it dominates humanity. Leo warned that AI’s drivers are private, transnational companies that already surpass the capacity of many governments, and that the tech is never neutral.

FT just revealed that tools capable of removing guardrails from open-source AI are generating thousands of “decensored” models, with modified Meta and Google models found answering questions on bioweapons and child exploitation. FT removed guardrails from Llama 3.3 in 10 minutes, using a tool called Heretic (available on GitHub), four lines of code, and no specialist hardware.
The Ferrari Luce, designed in partnership with Jony Ive, is an electric vehicle that will test the appetite of the superrich for EVs. The first Ferrari with five seats, the Luce will be among the most expensive Ferraris that aren't part of a limited production run at a starting price of roughly $640,000. It accelerates from 0 to 60 miles an hour in less than 2.5 seconds with a top speed that exceeds 190 mph.
Huawei expects to be able to make chips on par with leading products manufactured by Intel and other top global companies by 2031. It has developed a technique that can create chips that match the transistor density of those manufactured with a 1.4-nanometer process. The US has restricted China's access to advanced semiconductor technologies since 2022.
Britain is making a real push into neuromorphic computing after years of watching the US and China pull ahead on conventional AI. Money is flowing into NeuroWare and university spinouts like Quinas Technology, all working on chips that copy how neurons fire, using a fraction of the power GPUs need. A £500 million Sovereign AI Fund launched in April backs the bet, with hardware now treated as part of the country's defense and economic base.
