the brief
Agents and automation took center stage: OpenAI shipped GPT Realtime 2 and launched a Deployment Company, Anthropic brought Claude to Microsoft 365 and advanced Managed Agents, while Notion, Cursor, and Codex expanded developer surfaces. Google's Flash Lite 3.1 pushed cheaper inference. Security stayed loud with Grafana's GitHub breach and BitLocker backdoor claims.
Grafana Labs found a compromised GitHub token used to download source code; rotate tokens, audit CI secrets, and watch for follow-up indicators of compromise.
🚨 We recently discovered that an unauthorized party obtained a token with access to the Grafana Labs GitHub environment, enabling the threat actor to download our codebase. (1/6)

New API model brings real-time listening, reasoning, and voice responses, turning agents into live collaborators for complex tasks that evolve as conversations unfold.
Introducing GPT-Realtime-2 in the API: our most intelligent voice model yet, bringing GPT-5-class reasoning to voice agents. Voice agents are now real-time collaborators that can listen, reason, and solve complex problems as conversations unfold. Now available in the API pic.x.com/2DY1LU2vO8
Majority-owned unit teams with 19 integrators to move frontier AI into production, signaling OpenAI’s push from models to delivery, change management, and enterprise outcomes.
Today we’re launching the OpenAI Deployment Company to help businesses build and deploy AI. It's majority-owned and controlled by OpenAI. It brings together 19 leading investment firms, consultancies, and system integrators to help organizations deploy frontier AI to production
Claude for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word is GA with Outlook in public beta, carrying full conversational context across apps for smoother end-to-end assistant workflows.
Claude for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are now generally available, and Claude for Outlook is in public beta. As Claude moves between your Microsoft apps, it carries the full context of your conversation. pic.x.com/l8oOcoFcHg
Dreaming arrives in research preview while outcomes, multiagent orchestration, and webhooks hit public beta, pushing Claude agents closer to controllable, automatable production systems.

New Chrome plugin lets the Codex app test web apps, gather context across tabs, drive DevTools in parallel, and keep results organized without taking over your browser.
Codex can now take on more of your browser dev work. With the new Chrome plugin in the Codex app, it can test web apps, gather context across tabs, use web DevTools efficiently in parallel, and keep results organized without taking over your browser. pic.x.com/T6LwuPCUr5
CLI, serverless Workers on Notion infra, database sync, agent tools, and webhook triggers let developers program workflows and automations directly inside Notion’s data and UI.
BIG one for devs today. Introducing the Notion Developer Platform: - Notion CLI, ntn (Notion in your terminal) - Workers (run code on Notion's infra) - Database sync (any data source into Notion) - Agent tools (build any workflow) - Webhook triggers (trigger Notion from any app) pic.x.com/7QEKetrWWf x.com/NotionDevs/sta…
Cursor’s new /orchestrate recursively spawns agents via the SDK, with internal use already cutting token spend 20 percent and backend cold starts 80 percent.
Introducing /orchestrate, a skill that recursively spawns agents to tackle your most ambitious tasks with the Cursor SDK. We’ve used it to: - Autoresearch our internal skills, cutting token use by 20% while improving evals - Cut cold start times on our internal backend by 80% pic.x.com/8Hm8S9J5pg
A low-cost Gemini variant tuned for agentic automation, translation, and simple data processing offers cheaper, high-volume inference for background tasks and pipelines.

Anthropic trains models to translate internal activations into text, advancing interpretability and offering potential levers for debugging, control, and safety of large models.
New Anthropic research: Natural Language Autoencoders. Models like Claude talk in words but think in numbers. The numbers—called activations—encode Claude’s thoughts, but not in a language we can read. Here, we train Claude to translate its activations into human-readable text. pic.x.com/pMLsxM2VAO
A hands-on thread shows Claude assisting in removing 47 broker listings, deleting 12 dead accounts, and suppressing search results - practical agentic hygiene for personal data.
geçen hafta claude ile 6 saat dijital ayak izimi sildim. sonuç: 47 data broker listingi kaldırıldı. 12 ölü hesap silindi. 3 arama sonucu bastırıldı. nasıl yaptım, adım adım. thread. pic.x.com/PeFZwe6XVk
