You’re about to feel the AI money squeeze

Earlier this month, millions of OpenClaw users woke up to a sweeping mandate: The viral AI agent tool, which this year took the worldwide tech industry by storm, had been severely restricted by Anthropic. Anthropic, like other leading AI labs, was under immense pressure to lessen the strain on its systems and start turning a profit. So if the users wanted its Claude AI to power their popular agents, they'd have to start paying handsomely for the privilege. "Our subscriptions weren't built for the usage patterns of these third-party tools," wrote Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code, on X. "We wa...

one week in: opus 4.7 vs 4.6 - worse one shot rate, double the retries

I spent some time few days back comparing Opus 4.6 and 4.7 using my own usage data - just to see how they actually behave side by side. [https://github.com/getagentseal/codeburn](https://github.com/getagentseal/codeburn) it’s still pretty early for 4.7, but a few things surprised me. In my sessions, 4.7 gets things right on the first try less often than 4.6. One-shot rate sits around 74.5% vs 83.8%, and I’m seeing roughly double the retries per edit (0.46 vs 0.22). It also produces a lot more output per call - about 800 tokens vs 372 on 4.6 - which makes it noticeably more expensive. ...

OpenAI now lets teams make custom bots that can do work on their own

OpenAI is giving users of its Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teachers plans access to cloud-based "workspace" agents available in ChatGPT that can perform business tasks. In its blog post, OpenAI gives examples of agents like one that finds product feedback on the web and sends a report in Slack and a sales agent that can draft follow-up emails in Gmail. These new agents follow increasing interest in agents across the AI landscape, especially after OpenClaw - the AI agent formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot that touts itself as the "AI that actually does things" - went viral. OpenClaw foun...

Now Meta will track what employees do on their computers to train its AI agents

Meta employees' activity at work is now being used to train the company's AI agents. As reported by Reuters, Meta is installing a tool it calls Model Capability Initiative (MCI) on US-based employees' computers that runs in work-related apps and websites, recording mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and occasional screenshots. The data from this tool will be used to train the company's AI models to get better at interacting with computers the way humans do, including automating work tasks like those Meta's employees perform on the job. According to Reuters, the data from MCI won't be "used ...

AI needs a strong data fabric to deliver business value

Artificial intelligence is moving quickly in the enterprise, from experimentation to everyday use. Organizations are deploying copilots, agents, and predictive systems across finance, supply chains, human resources, and customer operations. By the end of 2025, half of companies used AI in at least three business functions, according to a recent survey. But as AI becomes…

Agent orchestration

When people say AI will speed up drug development or fear that it will bring about mass layoffs, what they have in mind—whether they know it or not—are AI agents. ChatGPT made large language models a mass consumer product. But to change the world, AI needs to do more than just talk back: It needs…

Building agent-first governance and security

As AI agents increasingly work alongside humans across organizations, companies could be inadvertently opening a new attack surface. Insecure agents can be manipulated to access sensitive systems and proprietary data, increasing enterprise risk. In some modern enterprises, non-human identities (NHI) are outpacing human identities, and that trend will explode with agentic AI. Solid governance and…

The boom in open source generative AI models is pushing beyond data centers into machines operating in the physical world. Developers are eager to deploy these models at the edge, enabling physical AI agents and autonomous robots to automate heavy-duty tasks. A key challenge is efficiently running multi-billion-parameter models on edge devices with limited memory. With ongoing constraints on… Source

AI tools are significantly accelerating software development and changing how developers work with code. These tools serve as real-time copilots, automating repetitive tasks, executing tasks, writing documentation, and more. OpenAI Codex, for example, is a coding agent designed to assist developers through tasks like code generation, debugging, and automated pull request (PR) creation. Source

Chinese tech workers are starting to train their AI doubles–and pushing back

Tech workers in China are being instructed by their bosses to train AI agents to replace them—and it’s prompting a wave of soul-searching among otherwise enthusiastic early adopters. Earlier this month a GitHub project called Colleague Skill, which claimed workers could use it to “distill” their colleagues’ skills and personality traits and replicate them with…
