AI Agents

An open source vision-language model unleashes minion agents that enable it to perform tasks more quickly and effectively.

The OpenClaw open-source AI agent became a sudden sensation, inspiring excitement, worry, and hype about the agentic future.

Google introduced an open-source protocol designed to enable AI agents to help consumers make purchases online, from finding items to returning them if necessary.

Apple cut a multi-year deal with Google to use Gemini models as the basis of AI models that reside on Apple devices.

Chain-of-thought reasoning can help autonomous vehicles decide what to do next.

A high-profile acquisition could enable Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp to offer built-in agents that do users’ bidding.

What do users want from AI? The answer depends on when and how they use it, a new study shows.

An open protocol aims to enable AI agents to conduct scientific research autonomously across disciplinary and institutional boundaries.

AI research in 2026 should confront a simple but transformative realization: Models that predict are not the same as systems that act. The latter is what we actually need.

Coding apps moved beyond autofill-style code completion to agentic systems that manage a wide range of software development tasks.

Think step by step. Explain your reasoning. Work backwards from the answer. As 2025 began, models executed these reasoning strategies only when prompted. Now most new large language models do it as a matter of course, improving performance across a wide range of tasks.

Amazon raised the competitive profile of its foundation models and added services for custom model training and an agent platform for browser automation.

President Trump launched a United States effort to use AI to speed up scientific breakthroughs.

Large language models may have learned knowledge that’s relevant to a given prompt, but they don’t always recall it consistently. Fine-tuning a model to search its parameters as though it were searching the web can help it find knowledge in its own weights.

Independent cybersecurity researchers pushed back on a report by Anthropic that claimed hackers had used its Claude Code agentic coding system to perpetrate an unprecedented automated cyberattack.
