Message threads, in public beta, let agents send only the new turn instead of the whole history. The token bill doesn't change; time to first token does.
Amazon blocks rival agents on purpose, Walmart says its checks catch Meta's Muse by accident, and banks warn about giving agents your password.
OpenAI is merging the Chat and Work tabs and moving paid plans to one token-based allowance across ChatGPT and Codex. Instant chat stays off the meter.
Anthropic added instructions steering Claude away from recreating existing games amid a wave of AI-assisted fan ports of Halo, Call of Duty and GTA V.
A benchmark found agents claimed success in 90% of cases where they had actually done something twice. The fix is boring distributed-systems hygiene.
The Verge's Sean Hollister bought a Meta-approved ESP32 devkit and let Claude Code turn it into a talking, Tamagotchi-style AI pendant. He has no idea if the code is any good.
Researchers chained a postMessage bug, an innerHTML sink and a YouTube endpoint to escape ChatGPT's HTML preview sandbox. OpenAI fixed it and paid $5,000.
Drew Breunig built a working 6502 emulator into the weights of Qwen3.5-4B, with Claude Opus 5.5 doing much of the legwork.
The model-agnostic harness posts 65.2% on Factory's own Terminal-Bench 4 runs with Claude Opus 5.5. Details are still thin.
A malicious update pushed through Anthropic's official Cursor marketplace account reached up to 5,000 developers. How the account was taken over is still unexplained.
Partnership on AI researchers studied the four most popular agent frameworks and found they can't reliably say which agent did what, or who approved it.
