LATEST NEWS
Google Chrome – secure AI agents:
Google outlined how Chrome will lock down its upcoming agentic features: a Gemini-driven “alignment critic” reviews every action, Origin Sets restrict what pages agents can touch, and anything involving sensitive data requires explicit user approval, with ads and untrusted scripts entirely off-limits. The point is straightforward: cut leakage risk and make agents deployable inside existing enterprise workflows.
ChatGPT + Instacart – commerce inside the chat:
OpenAI and Instacart launched a full grocery shopping and checkout flow directly in ChatGPT, letting users plan meals, adjust dietary needs, build carts, and pay without leaving the chat. The grocery piece is incidental; the real shift is ChatGPT moving from suggestion to transaction, a preview of how enterprise agents will take on revenue-bearing tasks rather than just analysis.
Grok – throughput records:
Grok 4.1 Fast processed 1.16 trillion tokens in a week on OpenRouter, surpassing Claude Sonnet, Gemini 3 Pro, DeepSeek V3, and others, with hints that Grok 4.20 is imminent. It doesn’t change anyone’s strategy today, but it signals the direction of the performance race as teams push for lower latency and cheaper inference to support heavier agent workloads.
