Poolside launches two powerful agentic coding models — Laguna M.1 (225B) and open-weight Laguna XS.2 (33B) — both free via API for a limited time, delivering top-tier SWE-bench Pro scores and built for complex, long-horizon coding tasks using reinforcement learning trained on 30 trillion tokens.
Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7 quietly raises real-world costs up to 27% through a new tokenizer that generates 32–45% more tokens than its predecessor, despite keeping prices unchanged at $5/M input and $25/M output — though short prompts under 2K tokens actually see a slight cost decrease.
GitHub Copilot is shifting to an AI Credits billing system on June 1, 2026, replacing premium request units with token-based credits while keeping all base plan prices unchanged, and offering Business and Enterprise users bonus credits, pooled usage, and new admin budget controls through August 2026.
Anthropic's Batch API slashes token costs by 50%, but a new analysis reveals the savings only make sense at fleet scale — single-agent use suffers from up to 24-hour latency, and surprisingly, cheaper Haiku models take longer to batch than pricier Sonnet or Opus.
Former Google DeepMind researcher David Silver's new AI startup, Ineffable Intelligence, raises a record-breaking $1.1 billion seed round at a $5.1 billion valuation, marking the largest seed round in European history as it pursues superintelligence through reinforcement learning, backed by Sequoia, Nvidia, Google, and others.
Redis releases a new framework targeting the root cause of most AI agent failures in production — broken context architecture — offering a reference design, 12-question self-audit, and RedisVL-powered semantic search to replace fragile, stitched-together context systems.
The M4 Mac Mini has sold out on Apple's website as surging demand for running on-device AI models drives buyers to eBay, where prices soar up to $979, with shortages now spreading to the Mac Studio amid an industry-wide memory crunch.
Classic cloud vulnerabilities and AI-powered attacks are dominating the 2025 cyber threat landscape, as hackers exploit misconfigurations and exposed secrets while leveraging AI to accelerate reconnaissance and scale intrusions across increasingly interconnected cloud environments.
Anthropic launches a beta memory feature for Claude Managed Agents, allowing AI to retain and share context across sessions, with early enterprise adopters like Rakuten already reporting a 97% reduction in first-pass errors.
Anthropic launches built-in memory for Claude AI agents in public beta, enabling cross-session learning that has already slashed first-pass errors by 97% and reduced latency by 34% for early adopters like Rakuten, while Wisedocs reports 30% faster document verification.
