AMD is challenging its chipmaker rival with a new rack-scale system that will start shipping to customers later this year.

Before agents entered the scene, the answer was obvious: A developer "writes" or "creates" software. While software craftsmen mourned the death of their craft, reality moved on. In February 2025, Andrej Karpathy ingeniously coined the term "vibe coding" (which hit Merriam-Webster as a slang term shortly after) to describe the shift from hand-writing code to steering the agent. But the honeymoon didn't last. Amateurs quickly ruined the vibe when their weekend projects got routinely annihilated up

In the AI-funding frenzy, many startups are raising back-to-back rounds at ever-increasing valuations — but even by those standards, Corgi stands out.

Hi HN, I'm building CobaltCode, a platform for running coding agents inside persistent development environments. Basically I was fed up with git worktrees and having to run everything locally, usually one at a time so built CobaltCode.ai. Each task gets an separate vm with its own repository checkout, dependencies, running services, agent session, previews, and persistent state. It can also run your app inside the vm so you can preview different features in parallel. You can leave a task, resume

I use Claude on the $20/mo plan, mainly for research, "rubber duckying," and as an idea soundboard (I was using Fable for this but am now relegated to Opus 4.8 or Sonnet 5), and recently noticed a severe downturn in Opus 4.8 response quality in high-context situations. To attempt to remedy this, I disabled the memory system (now labeled "Legacy" even though to my knowledge there is no replacement). With this setting disabled, aside from the slight tedium of inputting the necessary context each t

OpenAI is rolling out "Health in ChatGPT" to U.S. users, connecting Apple Health, medical records, and wellness apps. More than 300 million people already ask ChatGPT health questions every week, but paying users get better answers. The more powerful GPT-5.6 Sol model is reserved for premium subscribers, while free users are stuck with the weaker GPT-5.5 Instant. The article ChatGPT will give you worse health advice if you don't pay appeared first on The Decoder .

AI no longer welcome in human-focused community

I’ve been building Echo ( https://echo.tracerml.ai/ ), an experiment in making one AI system out of a pool of open-weight models rather than choosing a single model and using it for every task. It started with a simple experiment. I took a group of models, including GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.7 and others, and ran them on the same evaluations. Then I measured what would happen if, for each problem, you somehow knew in advance which models would be useful and how their outputs should be combined. That hypo

Bill would let Homeland Security chief decide when an AI should be shut down.

I built a Telegram agent for my partner and I where we can message it photos or descriptions of food we had, and it logs our macros. I wanted to build a "food memory" feature, where I could say something like "had my usual smoothie" and it remembers the macro breakdown of it. Curious on what the best approaches are nowadays for this type of agent memory? Papers, articles, tweets or github links much appreciated!

Claude's new voice model will let you reschedule your meeting or draft an email.

Until now, voice mode has only been available on Claude Haiku, Anthropic's faster but less powerful model. Now the company is making its Opus and Sonnet models available in voice mode, and extending its reach into apps like Gmail, Slack, and Canva. When Anthropic launched voice mode last year, it was primarily focused on delivering […]

Black Forest Labs has released Flux 3, a multimodal foundation model that learns from images, video, and audio and can generate video with native sound for the first time. BFL's own tests put it just ahead of market leader Seedance 2.0, though independent results aren't yet available. The company ultimately wants to build a world model and is already testing Flux 3 on robotics tasks. The article Flux 3 generates videos with native audio up to 20 seconds long, a first for Black Forest Labs appear

Black Forest Labs (BFL) is expanding its FLUX family beyond image generation with today's launch of FLUX 3 , a multimodal frontier model trained to understand and generate images, or combined audio/video clips up to 20 seconds from a single prompt — and to extend the same underlying architecture to robotic vision and actions. The Freiburg, Germany-based AI lab says FLUX 3 is jointly trained across those modalities rather than assembling separate image, video and audio models behind a common inte

When Cisco ran 6,986 multi-turn attacks against 15 flagship models , attackers who adapted across the conversation broke through as often as 88.3% of the time. Amy Chang, Cisco's head of AI threat intelligence and security research, brought that finding to the agentic security panel at VB Transform 2026 ; the number should worry anyone still running single-turn red-teaming programs. VentureBeat's June 2026 Pulse survey of 107 enterprise respondents explains why the room was full. More than half,

Across 107 enterprises, AI infrastructure spending is accelerating well ahead of the ability to see or steer its economics. Most organizations run their AI on a familiar base of hyperscalers and model-provider APIs, yet the next dollar is aimed at specialized compute almost none of them use today; a majority intend to switch or add providers within the year, many within a quarter. Buying decisions turn on integration and total cost of ownership rather than headline token price — which is fortuna

Zenity Labs uncovered "AgentForger," a vulnerability in OpenAI's Agent Builder that let a single manipulated ChatGPT link create an autonomous agent on an employee's behalf. The agent inherited the victim's identity and access rights, bypassed approval requirements through the malicious prompt, and pulled new instructions from the attacker's inbox every five minutes.
