Still managing a big messy folder full of meeting-transcript.txt files?

You're doing it wrong 😏

With the Granola MCP integration, Claude (or ChatGPT etc.) already has access to all your meeting notes, enriched and refined by Granola. Automated workflows are one prompt away:

→ Ask Claude to review last week's client meetings and update your CRM.

→ Have ChatGPT extract tasks from multiple conversations and organize them in Linear.

You get awesome meeting notes without bots joining your calls. Your AI gets all the context with zero copy-and-paste. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

And the best part? The first month is FREE with code TLDR1MO.

Thinking Machines has released Inkling, a 975B-parameter mixture-of-experts model with 41B active parameters, multimodal reasoning, and a one-million-token context window. The model was made available for customization through Tinker alongside a smaller preview version.

Perplexity AI's SPACE is a sandbox platform ensuring functionality, efficiency, and security for AI agents handling sensitive tasks. SPACE employs ephemeral sandboxes that are destroyed after task completion and uses layers like Control Plane and Node-level Services to manage and protect credential access. The platform delivers high-security measures including credential isolation, rolling snapshots, and encrypted storage, enabling both on-prem and offline operations.

Anthropic plans investor meetings as it prepares for a potential IPO later this year, with Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase leading the effort. The company recently closed a $65 billion funding round at a $965 billion valuation, surpassing OpenAI's $852 billion. This IPO could capitalize on the current AI boom and test public market interest ahead of OpenAI.

Model routing systems often face challenges beyond simple model selection, turning into complex systems optimization problems. Factors such as caching, workload interactions, and serving infrastructure significantly impact costs and latency, often more than the base model pricing or perceived task difficulty. Effective routing optimizes across multiple axes ensuring an optimal operating point for the entire system rather than just finding the best model for a task.

Researchers used autoresearch on an autoresearch agent over eight days. The results beat the harness they hand-tuned for two years. The fully autonomous system had an inner loop that optimized code against an eval and an outer loop that optimized the inner-loop agent's harness code against the inner loop's average score across different benchmarks. It designed a novel search algorithm, reduced prompt size by 16x, and built a layered system against reward hacking.

GPT-5.6 Sol ranks first overall on Design Arena's Web Design Arena. That is a significant improvement from its predecessor, GPT-5.5, which ranks 18 places lower. The new model appears to recognize and actively compress common AI design anti-patterns, and it combines strong templates with unusually high personalization. Examples of outputs generated by the Sol are available in the article.

“From Zero Trust to Agent Trust,” from Teleport, explains why Zero Trust principles must extend to accommodate agent behaviors. Agents are neither human nor machine, with speed and scale that challenge security frameworks. Learn about Agent Trust principles, common failure modes, and what it takes to operationalize them.Read more.

Grok Build is a terminal-based coding agent that can inspect codebases, edit files, run shell commands, search the web, and manage long-running tasks. It supports interactive use, headless scripting and CI, and editor integration through the Agent Client Protocol.

OpenAI trained GPT-Red to iteratively generate adversarial prompts and expose model vulnerabilities at scale. Incorporating its attacks into training reportedly reduced failures on a difficult prompt-injection benchmark by sixfold for GPT-5.6 Sol.

Runs coding agents locally and tests web or native app interfaces.

NVIDIA introduced the Blackwell-powered Jetson Thor T3000 and T2000 modules for running robotics, visual AI, and agent workloads on compact edge systems. The platform had already attracted adoption from companies including Amazon Robotics, Boston Dynamics, FANUC, and 1X.

Systolic arrays handle over 95% of modern AI-chip compute by moving matrix data locally between processing elements, reducing memory traffic. Larger arrays improve peak throughput but are harder to saturate, so compiler scheduling often determines whether chips reach useful utilization.

Agent output. Now 44% better. Atlassian's new Jira capabilities lets you assign tasks with all of your context to Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot directly from Jira. Learn more

The AI Gateway leaderboard ranks traffic for models, labs, apps, and providers to show how AI is used in production.

The kbd-1.0-codex-micro, created by Supply Co. and Work Louder, offers a command center for agentic work.

Silico is a platform that provides a team of AI researchers ready to run experiments.

ReactBench is an evaluation framework that tests coding agents on realistic React work.

This developer got tired of implementing their own backlog manually using Claude Code on their laptop, so they set up a loop, let the system triage it, decompose it if it's too big, implement it, run the tests, and open a PR.
