Perplexity AI introduces a hybrid orchestrator that automatically routes AI tasks between local device and cloud frontier models based on data sensitivity and compute requirements — no manual configuration needed.
Notion 3.6 lets you @-mention Claude and Cursor directly from a team board as external agents. Agents can now read and write PPTX, XLSX, and DOCX files, and interactive HTML blocks can be embedded in pages.
xAI shipped a rapid series of Grok Build patches (0.2.66–0.2.73) over three days: sandbox profiles with kernel-deny lists, no-restart MCP server management, new agent dashboard with model visibility, and a fix for stdio hangs on Windows.
xAI launched the Grok Voice Agent Builder in beta on July 1, 2026 — a no-code platform that creates a live voice agent from a plain-language description in about 2 minutes. It runs on a single speech-to-speech model for sub-second response times, priced at $0.05/min with 80+ voices and built-in telephony.
xAI's Grok audio family — realtime voice, TTS, and STT — is now routable through Vercel's AI Gateway with the same observability and spend controls as Grok's text models. Developers can compose voice agents with grok-voice-think-fast-1.0, grok-tts and grok-stt straight from AI SDK 7.
Perplexity AI launches on Windows (July 2026) a hybrid inference orchestrator that automatically routes AI tasks between local device and cloud frontier models without user involvement. The system decides where each part of a task should execute.
Qwen-AgentWorld is the first model trained to predict the next environment state (not the next action) across seven agent domains. Two MoE sizes, 256K context, Apache 2.0.
xAI added /goal to Grok Build — a long-running autonomous mode that plans, executes and verifies multi-step coding tasks with status, pause, resume and clear controls.
Zhipu AI released GLM-5.2 — an open-weight coding model with 1M context competing with Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5. Available via the new GLM Coding Plan at ~10× lower price, with MIT-licensed weights.
xAI becomes the third independent lab on Bedrock after Anthropic and OpenAI. 1M context, configurable reasoning effort, $1.25/$2.50 per M tokens.
Free Grok add-in for Word, Excel and PowerPoint with live web research, inline source citations, X data lookups, Mermaid diagrams, and connectors for email, SharePoint and Google Drive.
Grok models are now natively available in Databricks Agent Bricks. Agents can reason directly over Lakehouse data without exfiltration, with governance through Unity Catalog.
Comet for iOS shipped its eighth round of improvements: one-tap phone-number actions (Call, FaceTime, Message, save to Contacts), a refined iPad sidebar, and Finance Deep Dive opening as a real browser tab.
xAI launched Voice Agent Builder in beta — a no-code platform for production voice agents on Grok Voice with telephony, SIP, voice cloning, and observability at $0.05/min. Available from July 1, 2026.
Linear adds auto-generated changelogs to release pipelines, ships private sub-teams for Business/Enterprise, and rebuilt desktop tabs so each tab keeps its own navigation history.
Notion launched a Developer Platform — sync any data source into Notion databases via Workers and deploy custom agent tools as hosted endpoints. New: External Agents API (alpha) for Claude/Codex, Notion CLI, Agent SDK, webhook triggers, Markdown API, and MCP improvements that cut token usage by 91% for database operations.
The first xAI model on Bedrock — Grok 4.3 with a 1M context window, configurable reasoning effort, $1.25 in / $2.50 out per MTok. Cheapest US-lab frontier reasoner on Bedrock.
Google released gemini-omni-flash-preview, a high-performance multimodal model for high-speed video generation and conversational video editing — generating 3–10 second videos at 720p from text prompts or animating still images.
