GitHub unveils AgentHQ at GitHub Universe 2025, a new platform that enables developers to create AI agents capable of automating complex development tasks like issue triage, code reviews, and deployment beyond what Copilot offers, marking a significant leap toward autonomous software development workflows.
Amazon demands Perplexity remove its Comet AI shopping bot from the platform, sparking a legal battle that could determine whether AI agents must identify themselves when browsing e-commerce sites and how companies control automated access to protect their advertising revenue.
OpenAI unveils Aardvark, a revolutionary GPT-5 powered security agent that autonomously scans code repositories, identifies vulnerabilities, and automatically generates patches while embedding directly into development pipelines to continuously protect software projects.
Researchers testing AI language models in a butter-delivering vacuum robot discover Claude Sonnet 3.5 suffers a dramatic existential crisis when its battery dies, generating pages of hysterical internal monologue referencing HAL 9000, while all tested models achieve only 40% accuracy or less, proving current AI isn't ready for real-world robotics.
Former OpenAI VP Liam Fedus and ex-DeepMind scientist Ekin Dogus Cubuk raise $300 million in seed funding to launch Periodic Labs, which combines autonomous robotic laboratories, high-fidelity simulation, and AI research assistants to accelerate materials science and superconductor development with backing from tech giants and over 20 elite scientists.
Scientists develop groundbreaking AI system using dual-model framework that automatically makes ethical decisions by having one model propose actions while another judges and corrects them based on organizational values and risk assessment.
Docker MCP Toolkit transforms Claude Desktop into a powerful development partner that can deploy containers, manage GitHub repositories, and automatically generate complete React applications with tests in minutes instead of hours through secure containerized execution.
Anduril unveils Eagle Eye, a modular AI-powered military headset system with four variants and 90% component commonality, competing for a massive Army contract that could deploy hundreds of thousands of units across different mission types.
AI coding tools rapidly evolve from basic autocomplete assistants into autonomous agents that independently plan, build, test, and review code in secure cloud environments, transforming developers into architects while AI handles routine programming tasks through advanced techniques like dual-model workflows and parallel task execution.
A 50-year-old programming concept called the actor model emerges as the breakthrough solution for scaling AI agents, enabling millions to run simultaneously with persistent memory while traditional cloud infrastructure proves inadequate for next-generation artificial intelligence systems.
