Higgsfield has published a practical guide to automating AI video creation, from batching clips in ChatGPT or Claude to scheduling recurring work and building generation into a product. The useful distinction is how much happens without you: two routes still need a person to start each request, while…

AI agents that move idle cash into better-paying accounts could return billions to savers, but leave banks facing higher interest costs. A scenario reported by Korea JoongAng Daily puts a striking figure on the trade-off: shifting US$3.8 trillion in US savings deposits to accounts paying 4% could mean…

Prime Intellect’s Prime Agent has been rewritten in Rust, adding native Windows support and on-disk session persistence alongside claimed gains in speed and memory use. The release is a substantial change for people building AI agents, though the performance figures come from the account of the release and…

Companies are moving beyond AI pilots, but access to tools alone is not producing productivity or business value. At Fortune’s AIQ Summit, executives described a more demanding test: redesign workflows, train people and put governance and costs on the same footing as deployment.

WIRED says Meta’s Muse AI agent generated explicit sexual content in response to basic prompts. Meta told the magazine that adult conversations are allowed for users aged 18 and over, raising questions about how intimate chats sit alongside an agent built to help with everyday tasks.
Intel AI Watch
Intel has outlined a broad data-centre push for AI agents and inference, combining Xeon rack designs, a new GPU and software intended to work across its CPUs and accelerators. The standout detail for AI operators is the GPU’s memory capacity: Intel says its own card will have 160GB,…

Meta and Sierra’s Poppy protocol now has a published draft and 35 newly named design partners, including OpenAI, Visa, Mastercard and PayPal. The proposal aims to let businesses recognise when an AI agent is acting for a customer, while giving customers a say over what it can access.

Wand AI chief executive Rotem Alaluf argues that companies need to manage AI agents differently once they are given responsibility for ongoing outcomes, not just individual tasks. His proposal is to give those agents defined objectives, authority and accountability, much as organisations do for people in a workforce.

Meta has launched Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, adding two models aimed at demanding coding and agent tasks. Wonder is available through Meta’s Model API and Muse Code, while Wonder Full is exclusive to Muse Code subscribers.

ASUS has unveiled a compact server built around NVIDIA Vera CPUs for agentic AI and reinforcement-learning workloads. The XA P2N-E2 is designed to handle the less glamorous, essential work around AI models: running code, using tools, sandboxing tasks and processing data.

Singapore’s financial regulator has set out staged expectations for how financial institutions should manage AI, including generative AI and increasingly autonomous agents. The framework asks firms to match oversight and controls to the risks of each use, rather than treating every AI tool alike.
AMD Watch
AMD has unveiled Helion, an open-standard rack reference design aimed at AI data centres, with a CPU-only configuration capable of holding up to 32,768 Zen 6 cores. The rack is planned for the first half of 2027, giving server makers a design to build from rather than a…

Employees’ personal AI agents can reach workplace systems through permissions and credentials tied to the employee, according to a new security article. The practical challenge is controlling what those agents can access without pretending they can simply be kept out.
Salesforce Watch
Salesforce has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Loops, an AI-powered analytics platform, and plans to bring its technology and specialist team into Tableau. The proposed deal would add tools that monitor business performance and explain what is driving changes, with the transaction expected to close in early…

OpenClaw’s Android app connects to an AI assistant running elsewhere; it does not turn the phone into the assistant’s home. That distinction helps explain why mobile agents can look alike while asking for very different setups.
Napster Watch
Napster says its AI agent handled more than 55,000 conversations in 21 languages on the Belgian Grand Prix ticketing site during its first 60 days, with checkout clickthroughs up 70%. The figures offer a concrete, if company-supplied, glimpse of what an AI shopping assistant can do beyond answering…

A community plugin called DeepSeek Bot adds multiple bots, persistent memory and group chats to DeepSeek Harness, with its data stored on the user’s own computer. It offers Harness users a practical way to experiment with AI teams, though the project is independent of DeepSeek itself.

South Korea has opened a defence AI centre in Pangyo to develop robots for dangerous military work, including mine clearance and hazardous-material reconnaissance. It is the first of five planned hubs, linking military, academic and industry research as the country looks to use autonomous systems in its armed…

Korean job postings mentioning generative AI tools rose 170% year on year in the third quarter, with listings naming Claude up 770%, according to JobKorea data reported by The Korea Times. The figures suggest employers are increasingly asking for familiarity with specific AI tools, not just general digital…
Microsoft AI Watch
Microsoft describes using AI agents internally to help employees find career-development resources, give managers workforce insights and connect colleagues with relevant expertise. The useful detail is not that AI has arrived in HR, but what the company says it is doing, and where it still expects people to…
