Amodei predicts AI will write 90% of software code within 6 months and virtually all code within a year, completely reshaping tech employment.

He also believes the impact extends to finance, law, consulting, and other white-collar jobs, with entry-level positions most vulnerable to automation.

Amodei urged lawmakers and AI companies to take action, saying most workers are “unaware that this is about to happen” and “just don’t believe it”.

The CEO provided several ideas for addressing the issue, including better AI skilling and support, and policy solutions like a “token tax” on AI companies.

‘Operator’ is an AI agent capable of autonomously browsing the web and interacting with specific software hosted in cloud-based virtual machines to complete user tasks. Previously, it relied on a custom version of GPT-4o.

The new ‘Operator’ model, called o3 Operator, is expected to significantly improve how Operator handles complex queries and has been “fine-tuned with additional safety data for computer use,” including datasets designed to “teach the model decision boundaries on confirmations and refusals.”

According to the technical report released by OpenAI, o3 Operator is more likely to refuse to perform “illicit” activities or search for sensitive personal data, and is less susceptible to a form of AI attack known as "prompt injection."

Inspired by tools like Nvidia’s Project ‘G Assist’, which runs locally on the GPU to optimize settings, provide online info, and offer in-game help, Intel takes a different, more personalized approach. Their AI focuses on specific games and requires developers to integrate it, so it won’t work out of the box for every title.

The company demonstrated the new ‘AI Gaming Coach’ working with the game Black Myth: Wukong, offering suggestions on combat strategies, item searching, and more.

It is designed not to interfere with the gaming experience, displaying messages at the top of the screen and avoiding distractions and time lost searching for guides or tutorials.

This new technology runs on the NPU integrated into the new Intel Core Ultra processors, without using CPU or GPU resources. This means game performance is not affected, even on systems without a dedicated graphics card.

Intel has not yet confirmed the supported platforms, minimum requirements, or release date.

The beta feature is set to arrive for English-speaking users in the coming weeks and will run on Claude's latest Sonnet 4 model.

Users can flow naturally between speaking and typing, with five voice personalities available and real-time transcription displayed during chats.

Voice mode also integrates with Google Workspace for paid subscribers, allowing Claude to access calendars, docs, and Gmail with voice commands.

Free users receive 20-30 voice messages a month, with paid tiers getting “significantly higher” usage limits.

The company is building Spatial Foundation Models (SFMs) that understand 3D space natively and can grasp geometry, physics, and material properties.

SpAItial's founding team includes former leaders from Synthesia, Google, and Meta, bringing expertise in 3D AI and neural rendering technologies.

Early demos generated photorealistic 3D rooms from simple text prompts, with applications spanning gaming, construction, VR, and robotics.

Figure CEO Brett Adcock teased a new picture of ‘Figure 03’, the next humanoid from the company, saying the robots are “officially walking” now.

Google Labs announced that ‘Flow’, its AI filmmaking tool, is now available in 71 countries through the Google AI Pro and Ultra subscriptions.

Atlog AI launched from stealth with furniture store-focused AI voice agents that call customers, negotiate, and recover payments from customers.

Mistral launched Agents API for enterprise apps, introducing connectors for coding, web search, and image generation alongside memory and multi-agent orchestration.

Google DeepMind teased ‘SignGemma’, an upcoming model capable of translating sign language into text.

Opera just introduced ‘Neon’, a new web browser that automates web tasks, creates content with AI agents, and enables users to code using natural language — claiming to be the world’s first AI agentic browser.

To celebrate its 10th birthday, Google Photos is getting a new editor packed with AI features — letting you do things like adjust multiple effects at once via text prompts.

Black Forest Labs just launched ‘FLUX.1 Kontext’, a new AI system that understands both text and images — enabling users to edit and transform images with simple text commands while maintaining character consistency across iterations.

China’s Kuaishou just unveiled ‘Kling 2.1’, a video model that features “superb dynamics and prompt adherents” — with some users claiming it’s the first to really compete with Google’s ‘Veo 3’ in terms of accuracy and performance.

Hume just launched ‘EVI 3’ — a step toward general voice intelligence and the most expressive voice AI ever created.

The New York Times just struck its first-ever AI licensing deal with Amazon, allowing the company to use NYT editorial content across its platforms and to train its AI models.

Tencent’s Hunyuan released ‘HunyuanVideo-Avatar’, an open-source model that turns still images into short videos with sound.

Perplexity launched ‘Labs’, a new feature for Pro users that enables content creation like analytical reports, through multi-tool integrations for more complex tasks.
