Anthropic launched a Claude Team plan for scientists on August 28, 2026: free standard seats and $15/month premium seats (80% off, 5x usage) for PI-led academic and nonprofit labs, with 10,000 seats available now and more planned.
God's Eye View is an MIT-licensed browser globe that fuses public aircraft, ship, satellite and camera feeds with an optional OpenAI Realtime voice agent.
Rosalind Workbench is OpenAI's life-sciences workspace in research preview: it bundles GPT-Rosalind, in-chat molecular and sequence viewers, and a plan-first NGS pipeline into ChatGPT and Codex for verified research organizations.
Meta's in-development "Hatch" AI agent currently runs on Anthropic's Claude models rather than Meta's own Llama or Muse Spark, and Meta is reportedly projecting up to $10B/year in spending on Anthropic's AI tools — a build-vs-buy hedge worth noting even from the world's biggest AI labs.
Hy4 preview is a 770B/49B-active Apache 2.0 MoE with 1M context priced at $0.834 input per million tokens — cheaper than GLM 5.3, but too large to serve on a single 8-GPU node even at FP8.
TIME's 2026 AI list swapped model-builders for the people managing AI's consequences — Nvidia is represented by its sustainability chief, not Jensen Huang — which is a judgment about where power sits, not a snub.
OpenAI and 130+ companies signed an open letter urging organizations, security vendors, and governments to treat AI-enabled cyber defense as an immediate priority, with specific asks for each group.
Teamwork is Antigravity's research-preview multi-agent orchestrator (/teamwork-preview on paid plans) running propose–critique–refine loops for hours or days across five patterns, not everyday coding.
OpenAI is testing "Persistent mode," an always-on Codex agent found in GitHub code that keeps working — and can generate its own follow-up tasks — until a user manually stops it, a shift from Codex's normal run-until-done session model.
PRAXIST is a source-available multi-agent research harness that keeps useful findings across experiments instead of discarding everything but the best run.
Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash extends video generation to 40 seconds via 10-second context windows, adds first/last-frame and style-matching controls, and prices 360p drafts at $0.03 per second before optional 4K upscaling.
H3 Max makes AI video generation faster than real-time playback, which turns it from a batch job you wait on into an interactive loop you iterate in.
Vercel open-sourced vgpu.sh, a minimal WebGPU library that renders shaders headlessly in Node.js and CI without a GPU, aimed at letting coding agents verify visual code programmatically.
Calvin French-Owen argues that cheap fast models like GPT-5.6 Luna have crossed a usefulness threshold, cutting his own research-agent eval from about $1 to about $0.10 per run.
On Terminal-Bench-Science 0.1, the same AI agents that score 75-84% on general coding benchmarks resolve only 3-30% of real scientific research tasks, proving coding-agent scores do not transfer to science.
Archify compiles an agent's typed JSON system map into validated HTML you can inspect, delta-review, and attach to a pull request.
A printed shirt exploits a known blind spot in object-detection AI — it breaks the model's person-detector without hiding anything from a human eye.
Garden Skills is five MIT SKILL.md packs from ConardLi covering web design, video decks, GPT Image 2, local retrieval, and articles, for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
