Most product launches start the same way: a blank page and a deadline.

Atlassian's new Rovo AI changes that. In this live webinar, the Confluence product team demonstrates how to go from rough idea to complete GTM plan using AI-assisted drafting — then connect it all to Jira for tracking and Loom for async feedback loops.

Don't miss this practical look into how AI fits into the launch workflow, from first draft to cross-functional coordination. Save your spot →

Anthropic has introduced MCP app integration into Claude's AI assistant, enabling seamless use of tools like Asana, Slack, Figma, and Box within its interface. This update enhances real-time interaction, setting Claude apart by embedding live app experiences directly into chats, boosting workflow efficiency. The move supports open standards and encourages developer-created integrations, aligning with Anthropic's ecosystem goals.

Qwen3-Max-Thinking is a reasoning model for complex math, coding, and multi-step workflows. Available on Alibaba Cloud's Model Studio, this model excels in tasks that require evidence gathering and deep verification, offering adaptive tool-use and built-in web search features. Early testers highlight its benefits for developers and enterprises needing long-context reasoning and tool-using agents.

Dario Amodei argues that as AI approaches the capability of a "country of geniuses," humanity faces critical challenges in safety, misuse, and economic disruption. He highlights the risks of allowing powerful AI to concentrate in authoritarian regimes, potentially leading to irreversible totalitarian control or unprecedented destructive capability in the wrong hands. Amodei advocates for strategic controls and regulations to align AI development with democratic principles, emphasizing the urgent need for informed global cooperation to prevent catastrophic outcomes.

A three-phase approach to building robust evaluation workflows for voice systems, helping teams move from demos to production by structuring datasets, grading mechanisms, and feedback loops.

Co-do showcases how browsers can act as sandboxes for running AI-powered applications safely. It utilizes layered sandboxing by restricting file system access with the File System Access API, controlling network requests via strict CSP policies, and running code in isolated WebAssembly environments. This approach highlights the potential for browsers to serve as secure execution environments for untrusted code, but reveals gaps like dependency on LLM providers and the limitations of current browser security features.

Model benchmarks matter less than compute access, infrastructure scale, and long-term demand for intelligence. The race is not zero-sum, and all major labs will become massive as AI adoption, enterprise agents, and compute needs grow exponentially.

Auth0 for AI Agents provides a more secure foundation for developers to build AI agents without compromising security or innovation. This solution connects your AI agents to apps and data, applying the correct user permissions in every scenario.

ChatGPT Code Interpreter underwent a massive upgrade in the past few months. It can write and then test code in 11 new languages, find files online and download them into a container, and install packages via pip and npm to help it solve problems. There is no official documentation for these new features. This post provides an overview of the update, along with a full list of tools that ChatGPT now has access to.

SWE-Pruner introduces a task-aware context pruning framework that cuts token usage in code agents by over 50% without harming performance. It dynamically selects relevant code using a lightweight model, optimizing workflows in multi-turn engineering tasks.

Endless Terminals provides an automated pipeline to generate realistic terminal tasks without human labeling, enabling scalable reinforcement learning for terminal-based agents.

DeepVerifier is a test-time verifier that improves deep research agents by applying rubric-based feedback during inference.

Yann LeCun, one of the world's leading experts on artificial intelligence, has become increasingly vocal in his criticism of Silicon Valley's approach to building AI. He says the technology industry will eventually hit a dead end in its AI development as LLM technology has its limits. The herd effect in Silicon Valley leaves no room for other approaches that may be more promising in the long run. If everyone were open, the field as a whole would progress faster.

Maia 200 is an inference accelerator engineered to dramatically improve the economics of AI token generation. It is the most performant first-party silicon from any hyperscaler, with three times the FP4 performance of the third-generation Amazon Trainium. The chip will serve multiple models, including the latest GPT-5.2 models from OpenAI. It is being deployed in Microsoft's US Central data region near Des Moines, Iowa, with the US West 3 datacenter region near Phoenix, Arizona, coming next, and future regions to follow.

Sam Altman sits down with builders from across the AI ecosystem to answer questions and talk about the future of building with AI.

GPUs have 3-5 year economic lives, which creates extremely steep depreciation curves, making long-term debt risky.

RadixArk, spun out from SGLang, has been valued at $400 million after securing investment from Accel, reflecting increased interest in AI model optimization tools.

NVIDIA has invested $2 billion in CoreWeave to accelerate the development of over 5 gigawatts of AI factories by 2030.
