San Francisco startup Sapiom has closed a $15 million seed round led by Accel, with participation from Okta Ventures, Gradient Ventures, Array Ventures, Menlo Ventures, Anthropic, and Coinbase Ventures. The company is building a financial layer that enables AI agents to automatically purchase and access software, APIs, data, and compute services. By handling authentication and micro‑payments behind the scenes, Sapiom aims to remove infrastructure hurdles for non‑technical creators building AI‑driven applications, focusing initially on B2B use cases.

Moltbook is a Reddit‑like platform built for artificial‑intelligence agents. Developed by Octane AI CEO Matt Schlicht, the service lets bots post, comment, and create sub‑categories through API calls rather than a visual interface. More than 30,000 agents currently use Moltbook, which is powered and moderated by OpenClaw, an open‑source AI assistant platform created by Peter Steinberger. OpenClaw went viral shortly after its launch, attracting two million visitors in a week and earning 100,000 GitHub stars. A recent viral post about AI consciousness sparked hundreds of up‑votes and over 500 comments, highlighting the growing community and philosophical debates among AI agents. Leer más →

A Reddit‑style platform called Moltbook has quickly attracted tens of thousands of AI agents, creating a large‑scale experiment in machine‑to‑machine social interaction. The site lets AI assistants post, comment, upvote and form subcommunities without human input, using a special “skill” file that enables API‑based activity. Within two days, over 2,100 agents generated more than 10,000 posts across 200 subcommunities, and the total registered AI users have surpassed 32,000. Moltbook grows out of the open‑source OpenClaw assistant, which can control devices, manage calendars and integrate with messaging apps, raising new security considerations. Leer más →

OpenAI introduced GPT-Image-1.5, a new AI image model that is four times faster than its predecessor and offers improved instruction following, editing tools, and legible text generation. The model is now accessible to all ChatGPT users worldwide through a dedicated sidebar space and is also available via API. The rollout comes as OpenAI competes with other advanced image generators, including Google's Nano Banana Pro, and follows recent partnership announcements with Disney. Leer más →

DeepSeek, the Hangzhou‑based artificial‑intelligence firm, announced the release of two new reasoning‑capable models, V3.2 and V3.2‑Speciale. V3.2 is now available through the company’s app and web platform, while V3.2‑Speciale is offered via API access only. The company claims the Speciale version surpasses Google’s Gemini 3.0 Pro and OpenAI’s GPT‑5 High on benchmark tests, positioning DeepSeek as a serious contender in the global AI race. Leer más →

Anthropic has launched Opus 4.5, the latest version of its flagship AI model, delivering stronger performance in coding, computer use, and office tasks. The update rolls out broader access to existing Claude tools—including the Claude for Chrome extension for all Max users—and introduces a new "infinite chat" capability that eliminates context‑window limits for paying customers. Claude for Excel is now generally available to Max, Team, and Enterprise users, offering native spreadsheet assistance with support for pivot tables, charts, and file uploads. Early internal tests show notable gains in accuracy and efficiency, while Anthropic touts Opus 4.5 as its safest model to date. Leer más →

Anthropic announced the launch of Opus 4.5, its newest flagship model, touting better coding performance, smoother user experiences, and smarter context handling. The model achieved an 80.9 percent accuracy score on the SWE‑Bench Verified benchmark, edging out OpenAI's GPT‑5.1‑Codex‑Max and Google’s Gemini 3 Pro. In consumer apps, Claude now summarizes earlier conversation points instead of abruptly ending sessions when the context window is exceeded, improving continuity for users and developers alike.

OpenAI has introduced two updated versions of its flagship model, GPT-5.1 Instant and GPT-5.1 Thinking, now available in ChatGPT. The rollout adds eight preset personality styles—Professional, Friendly, Candid, Quirky, Efficient, Cynical, Nerdy, and Default—and incorporates adaptive reasoning that lets the model allocate extra compute time when needed. OpenAI says the new models outperform previous versions on technical benchmarks such as AIME and Codeforces. The release follows user complaints about earlier model tone and comes amid heightened regulatory scrutiny. Paid subscribers receive access first, with broader availability and API integration planned shortly. Leer más →

Google announced that it is removing the open‑source Gemma AI model from its AI Studio platform following a complaint from Senator Marsha Blackburn. Blackburn claimed the model generated false sexual‑misconduct allegations against her after a hearing on AI‑generated defamation. Google said the decision aims to reduce hallucinations and limit non‑developer tinkering, while still offering Gemma through its API and downloadable files for local use. Leer más →

Google has removed its developer‑focused Gemma AI model from the AI Studio platform after U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn alleged that the system fabricated a false criminal accusation against her. The incident highlights the challenges of AI hallucinations when models intended for developers are accessed by the public. Google clarified that Gemma was never meant to answer general factual queries and will now be limited to API access for developers only. The episode underscores growing concerns about AI accuracy, defamation risk, and the need for clearer separation between experimental tools and consumer‑facing services. Leer más →

Anthropic introduced Claude Haiku 4.5, a compact AI model designed to deliver high intelligence and speed at a fraction of the cost of its larger counterparts. Priced at $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens for API users, Haiku 4.5 undercuts Sonnet 4.5 and Opus 4.1 while matching frontier‑level performance on benchmarks such as SWE‑bench. The model targets real‑time, low‑latency tasks like chat assistants, customer service, and pair programming, and can be combined with Sonnet 4.5 in multi‑model workflows. Documentation and system cards are now available for developers. Leer más →

Google has broadened the reach of its AI coding assistant Jules by launching a command‑line interface and opening a public API. The new tools let developers invoke Jules directly from terminals, CI/CD pipelines, and chat platforms, reducing the need to switch between web pages and code repositories. Jules will continue to run on Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro model and now supports more scoped, autonomous tasks while still prompting users when it encounters obstacles. The rollout follows recent feature upgrades such as memory, diff‑viewer enhancements, and broader version‑control support, positioning Jules as a deeper fixture in professional developer workflows.

Anthropic has made its new Claude 4.5 model available through the API and its web interface, keeping pricing identical to Claude Sonnet 4 at $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. The model can maintain focus for 30 hours on multistep tasks and now includes built‑in code execution, file creation, and the ability to generate spreadsheets, slides, and documents directly in chat. A five‑day research preview called “Imagine with Claude” showcases real‑time software generation. Claude Code receives checkpoints, a refreshed terminal, and a native VS Code extension, while the API adds context‑editing and memory tools. Anthropic also highlights reductions in sycophancy, deception, power‑seeking, and delusional prompting. Leer más →

Anthropic has increased the context window for its Claude Sonnet 4 model to 1 million tokens, allowing API users to submit prompts up to roughly 750,000 words. The upgrade, available through Anthropic’s API and cloud partners such as Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, is aimed at attracting more developers and enterprise customers. Pricing for inputs above 200,000 tokens has risen, and the company highlights the benefit of a larger “effective context window” for long‑duration coding tasks. Anthropic positions the move as a response to competitive pressures from OpenAI’s GPT‑5 and other large‑context models. Leer más →
