Microsoft to unveil new AI models and Windows improvements at Build
Microsoft is heading to San Francisco this week in a bid to win back developers at its Build conference. I've been attending Build since the days when Microsoft called it the Professional Developers Conference, and I can't remember a more pivotal moment. As Microsoft continues to reshuffle its entire business around AI, it's moving Build into a smaller, more intimate venue. Trust in Windows and GitHub is at an all-time low, and this is Microsoft's chance to reconnect with developers and outline the future. Sources tell me that we'll hear about new AI models in Windows, a new reasoning model from Microsoft AI, and a Copilot "super app." But … Read the full story at The Verge.

Meta’s own AI was exploited to hijack Instagram accounts
Meta's AI support chatbot helped hackers hijack Instagram accounts, as reported earlier by 404 Media. In a video shared on Telegram, a hacker shows how they could take over an account by asking Meta's chatbot to switch the email associated with someone else's profile and then reset the password. The issue, which Meta says has since been patched, cropped up around the same time Barack Obama's White House account on Instagram was hacked. On Sunday, users noticed that the @obamawhitehouse account began posting images containing Iranian propaganda. Hackers appeared to have hijacked the Instagram accounts belonging to the US Space Force Chief Ma … Read the full story at The Verge.
Anthropic has officially filed to go public
After months of speculation about whether OpenAI or Anthropic would be first in their race to IPO, Anthropic on Monday reached a key milestone: filing to kick off the process with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing sets the stage for what's sure to be a massive IPO. As of its fundraise last week, Anthropic is being called the world's most valuable startup, with a post-money valuation of $965 billion. That tops the $852 billion post-money valuation of OpenAI, which is its biggest rival. Anthropic chose to submit its draft registration statement to the SEC confidentially, according to a blog post from the company, meani … Read the full story at The Verge.
In an agent stack, where would you add heavy reasoning first: state corruption, tool-contract mismatch, or the last external action?
I keep thinking Ring-2.6-1T makes more sense as a containment layer than as a default model for every step. It is a trillion-parameter reasoning model for agent workflows with high and xhigh reasoning-effort modes. If I only added it to one failure-prone point first, I would choose state corruption, a tool-contract mismatch, or the final external action before the agent changes something outside the sandbox. Which failure point would you guard first? submitted by /u/Spirited_Friend_8428 [link] [comments]

MiniMax-M3 debuts, eclipsing GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro on key benchmark performance for just 5-10% of the cost
Big news in enterprise AI broke over the weekend as Chinese AI startup MiniMax released its highly anticipated M3 large language model on Sunday evening Eastern time, pairing frontier-tier coding and agentic performance with a 1-million-token context window and native multimodality for a fraction of the cost of leading proprietary models, with pricing starting at just $20 per month under its new subscription token plans. The company's leadership also announced plans to deliver the model under an open source license including "open weights," allowing for full enterprise downloading and customizability free-of-charge, coming sometime in the next 10 days. For now, it is available via the MiniMax API at a special discounted price of $0.3 per 1 million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens (on fresh cache) for the next week — beating proprietary U.S. giants like Google, OpenAI and Anthropic handily on cost, while also eclipsing the performance of the latest models from the forme

For AI agents, where should the heavier reasoning budget go first: before actions, after state changes, or before the final explanation?
One thing I find interesting about reasoning models is that the hard question is often budget placement, not headline capability. Ring-2.6-1T is a trillion-parameter reasoning model for agent workflows with high and xhigh reasoning-effort modes. If an AI agent only gets a heavier reasoning pass in one place, I would put it before it takes an external action, after it updates state, or before it gives the final explanation to a user. Where would you spend that budget first? submitted by /u/babyb01 [link] [comments]
For Ling-2.6-1T, what would make the size feel justified first: quality per token, local serving reality, or long context stability?
The first question I have about Ling-2.6-1T is not “is the model card impressive?” It is whether the boring trade-off makes sense. It is an open-sourced Ant/InclusionAI flagship with about 1T total params / 63B activated params, up to 1M native context, and 256K currently exposed through the official API. For a local-LLM crowd, I’d want one answer first: does the quality justify the active size, can the serving setup make sense, or does the long window stay stable enough deep into context? Which one would you need answered before caring about it? submitted by /u/Top_Training5738 [link] [comments]
Any good AI / AI Agents newsletters you recommend in 2026?
Hey everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a good AI Newsletter that covers practical developments in AI agents, generative AI, automation workflows, and emerging AI tools. I’m especially interested in newsletters that go beyond hype and focus on useful insights, real-world experiments, workflow examples, tool breakdowns, and thoughtful analysis of where AI agents are heading. If you personally read and enjoy an AI agent newsletter or any newsletter focused on generative AI, agentic workflows, or AI automation, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Thanks! submitted by /u/lIlIlIKXKXlIlIl [link] [comments]
What was your biggest "AI agents are the future" moment?
I've seen a lot of AI agent demos, but I'm more interested in real-world experiences. Was there a moment when an AI agent completed a task that genuinely impressed you—something that would have taken hours or even days to do manually? What was the task, what tools were involved, and how much time did it save? Looking for actual use cases rather than demos. Curious to hear the moments that made you think, "This changes everything." submitted by /u/Humble_Sentence_3758 [link] [comments]
tried to write a journal entry without AI for the first time in like a year and kinda panicked
ok this is gonna sound dumb but bear with me I write a lot for work, marketing/copy stuff mostly, and over the last ~14 months ive slid from "use AI to clean up my draft" to "use AI to make the draft" to honestly not really writing anything on my own anymore. like i hadnt put a complete thought on paper without a model in the loop for months. didnt even notice it happening tbh. last weekend i tried to write a journal entry. just for me, no audience. nothing fancy. sat there for like 20 minutes trying to remember how to start a sentence that didnt have a thesis at the front of it. i kept wanting to write "Today I noticed three things about my mood." and then realising — wait, no, thats a chatgpt sentence. nobody writes that. but i couldnt remember the person-version. eventually wrote some half-garbage about being tired and what i ate and a weird thing my sister said about her landlord. it read like a 12 year olds diary which, fine, i guess thats what a journal is supposed to be but
Anthropic’s browser agent got hijacked 31.5% of the time before safeguards engaged
Across the frontier labs, the highest prompt injection figures published this spring are Anthropic’s. Point a red-teamer at its newest model in a browser, and the attacker hijacked it 31.5% of the time before safeguards engaged. OpenAI, Google, and Meta never gave security leaders a comparable number to set beside it. That figure looks like a liability. In this comparison, it is the opposite. It's the one solid piece of ground. Four frontier labs each shipped a prompt injection disclosure, and no two match. Anthropic put 244 pages and four agentic surfaces on the table on May 28. OpenAI reported one surface, connectors. Google moved the subject out of the model card and into a separate safety framework. Meta shipped no closed-model card at all. The Cross-Vendor Prompt Injection Disclosure Grid below maps what each lab tested, what each one measured, and the four places a side-by-side comparison falls apart. A prompt injection hides a malicious instruction in something an agent reads, a
