Anthropic Launches Plugins for Claude CoWork
A fresh set of Anthropic AI workplace tools briefly wiped tens of billions off software valuations this week, highlighting how even incremental AI advances can rattle markets that are still guessing who the long‑term winners and losers will be.
Microsoft Installs Engineering Quality Czar
Satya Nadella has created a new top-level engineering quality role for longtime exec Charlie Bell and rehired ex-Googler Hayete Gallot to lead security, signaling a push on “security and quality” even as critics point to Azure outages, botched Windows updates, and past breaches as evidence Microsoft still struggles with basic software hygiene.
Claude Will Stay Ad-Free
Anthropic is positioning Claude as an ad‑free space to think, rejecting sponsored links and product placements so the assistant’s only incentive is to serve users’ interests, especially in sensitive, high‑stakes conversations, while still supporting shopping, bookings, and business workflows, but only when users explicitly initiate them, so it remains a trusted, distraction‑free tool for deep work and decision‑making.
OpenAI Launches Agent Management Portal
To tackle “agent sprawl,” OpenAI has launched Frontier, a platform where every AI agent gets its own identity, permissions, and guardrails so teams can safely orchestrate agents across local, cloud, and OpenAI‑hosted environments.
Quantum Computers Could be Useful Within the Decade
Multiple labs have now crossed crucial error‑correction thresholds, slashed qubit requirements, and extended qubit lifetimes, fueling realistic hopes that quantum computers will soon tackle real‑world chemistry, materials, and cryptography problems, as advances from groups such as Google, Quantinuum, IBM, and Princeton transform the field from a distant aspiration into a technology many experts now expect to become practically useful by the mid‑2030s.
HP CEO Joining Paypal
PayPal has poached HP CEO Enrique Lores as its next chief executive, leaning on his AI and subscription-focused track record to speed up innovation, while HP turns to board member Bruce Broussard as interim CEO during its search for a new leader.
