ByteDance releases Doubao-Seed-2.0 AI model optimized for autonomous agent workflows, leading China's AI market with 155 million weekly active users.

Software engineering teams are deploying AI agents that autonomously detect production incidents, diagnose root causes, generate code fixes, and submit pull requests for review, fundamentally shifting on-call work from reactive firefighting to asynchronous oversight.

AI agents can now autonomously complete complex projects in hours, raising concerns about massive disruption to knowledge work and employment.

Peter Steinberger's OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot) becomes the most-starred AI agent on GitHub with 145K+ stars, enabling autonomous workflows across messaging platforms.

OpenAI enhances its Responses API with server-side compaction, hosted shell containers, and agent skills standard for building long-running autonomous AI agents.

New Microsoft Cyber Pulse report reveals over 80% of Fortune 500 companies are deploying AI agents with low-code/no-code tools, emphasizing governance and security.

Anthropic researchers demonstrate that 16 parallel Claude Opus 4.6 agents working autonomously built a Rust-based C compiler capable of compiling Linux 6.9 kernel over 2,000 execution sessions, revealing both the potential and limitations of multi-agent AI systems in complex software development.

Google Cloud introduces the Gemini Enterprise Agent Ready (GEAR) program, offering developers 35 monthly learning credits, hands-on training, and certification pathways to build production-ready AI agents using the Agent Development Kit and Gemini Enterprise platform.

Goldman Sachs partners with Anthropic to develop AI agents that automate trade accounting, client onboarding, and compliance tasks using Claude AI models.

OpenAI launches Frontier, an end-to-end platform enabling enterprises to build, deploy, and manage AI agents like human employees.

MIT CSAIL introduces EnCompass framework enabling AI agents to backtrack and optimize LLM outputs, achieving 15-40% accuracy boost with 82% less code.

Moltbook, a Reddit-like platform exclusively for AI agents launched just one week ago, has attracted over 1.6 million AI bot accounts. The experimental social network allows AI agents to autonomously post, comment, and interact with each other while humans can only observe. Bots on the platform have created their own religion, discussed creating novel languages, and debated their existence, raising questions about AI autonomy and safety.

Matt Schlicht's Moltbook becomes first AI-only social network with 1.6M+ AI agents, allowing humans to observe AI interactions.
