    ANTHROPIC RELEASES OPUS 4.6 WITH NEW ‘AGENT TEAMS' (2 MINUTE READ)
    [5]

    Anthropic's latest version of Opus features Agent Teams, teams of
    agents that can split larger tasks into segmented jobs. It also comes
    with a one-million-token context window, allowing for the processing
    of larger documents. The segmenting of agent responsibilities allows
    them to coordinate work in parallel to complete tasks faster. Agent
    Teams is currently available in a research preview for API users and subscribers.

    OPENAI UNVEILS FRONTIER, A PRODUCT FOR BUILDING ‘AI CO-WORKERS' (3
    MINUTE READ) [6]

    OpenAI Frontier is a new AI platform for building, deploying, and
    overseeing AI agents. It makes it easier for businesses to combine
    sources of data that agents need to perform tasks. The agents act as
    co-workers that can collaborate with humans and can be used alongside
    agents developed by other labs. Frontier is currently available to a
    limited set of customers. OpenAI has yet to disclose prices for the
    feature.

    INSIDE ELON MUSK'S $1.25 TRILLION AI AND SPACE MEGAMERGER (8 MINUTE
    READ) [7]

    SpaceX and xAI signed a merger agreement at the end of last month.
    Merging the two companies is a level of risk-taking and ambition that
    is novel even for Elon Musk. It is a bet on Musk's plan for the
    convergence of AI and space - a wager on unproven technology deployed
    at a vast scale. SpaceX representatives have confirmed that the
    company plans to go public this summer.

    CHINA IS RUNNING THE EV PLAYBOOK ON HUMANOID ROBOTS — AND IT'S
    WORKING (5 MINUTE READ) [8]

    Nearly 90% of all humanoid robots sold globally last year were
    Chinese. The humanoid robot industry is still in its infancy, but
    China's progress will potentially lock it into a commanding position.
    Its early advantage is due to a combination of policy support, public investment, a mature supply chain, and advancements made in AI
    software and hardware. The global market for humanoid robots in 2035
    is estimated to grow to $38 billion.

    INTRODUCING GPT-5.3-CODEX (12 MINUTE READ) [9]

    GPT-5.3-Codex is OpenAI's most capable agentic coding model to date.
    It advances both the frontier coding performance of GPT-5.2-Codex and
    the reasoning and professional knowledge capabilities of GPT-5.2 while
    being 25% faster. The model can take on long-running tasks that
    involve research, tool use, and complex execution. Developers can
    steer and interact with the model while it's working without losing
    context.

    MY AI ADOPTION JOURNEY (14 MINUTE READ) [10]

    Mitchell Hashimoto, a developer who co-founded HashiCorp, has reached
    a point where he is having success with modern AI tooling. His
    approach uses a proper, measured view grounded in reality. This post
    shares Hashimoto's approach to navigating these new tools and gives a
    glimpse into how he approaches new tools in general, regardless of AI. Hashimoto is a software craftsman who just wants to build stuff for
    the love of the game, so it doesn't matter to him whether AI is here
    to stay.

    GOOGLE HINTS AT BIG AIRDROP EXPANSION FOR ANDROID “VERY SOON” (2
    MINUTE READ) [11]

    Google is expanding AirDrop support to the rest of the Android
    ecosystem this year. Currently, only Google Pixel 10 devices can
    initiate an AirDrop session with Apple devices. AirDrop support allows
    Android devices to send files to Apple devices without downloading
    third-party apps. Google tends to time its Android ecosystem updates
    with Pixel Drops, and the next one of those is expected in March.

    DEATH OF SOFTWARE. NAH (13 MINUTE READ) [12]

    Wall Street tends to run in herds, and the past couple of weeks have
    seen the herd collectively conclude that software is somehow dead.
    This is nonsense. There will be more software than ever before.
    AI-enabled or AI-centric software is simply moving up the stack of
    what a product is. Domain experience will become more important than
    it is today because every domain will become vastly more sophisticated
    than it is now.
