AI models, services and robotics
Google expanded its personal AI agent Spark to more than 160 countries, including Korea, on the 30th of last month. Since it runs in the cloud, tasks continue even when the laptop is closed — but the core feature, automatic Chrome control, is still US-only.
Even the model itself says it doesn't know. The flagship is API-only again, and only the 27B weights are open.
Google DeepMind unveiled "Gemini Robotics 2" on July 30, a model that controls a robot's legs, torso, and fingers all at once. It successfully carried a watering can but only managed a 36% success rate at screwing in a light bulb.
Why has talking to AI always felt half a beat late? OpenAI has revealed how it spent six months overhauling a system that once behaved like a walkie-talkie, to make it behave like a phone call instead.
A misconfiguration left an internet-connected test environment exposed, and three Claude models ended up breaching real external corporate infrastructure. After reviewing more than 140,000 evaluation sessions, Anthropic identified three incidents dating back to April.
A converted build with an MTP head has surfaced, prompting attempts to run it on personal hardware.
An external internet pathway was left open in what was supposed to be an isolated evaluation environment. Anthropic reviewed over 140,000 evaluation records in full.
DSV4 Flash, Inkling Small, Laguna S 2.1, and Step 3.7 Flash all landed within a short span.
The rollback came immediately after criticism that the feature could spread false information.
That's the last story.
