A Chinese humanoid robot has pushed robotic sprinting into territory once associated only with elite human athletes. Tiangong Ultra completed the 100-meter final at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing in 8.64 seconds, finishing nearly a second faster than Usain Bolt's official human world-record time of 9.58 seconds.
OpenAI has introduced “workspace agents” in ChatGPT, allowing teams to create shared AI assistants for complex tasks and long-running workflows.
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has published a preview of its new family of language models. The flagship model, V4-Pro, is presented as a major open-weight AI system that reportedly outperforms Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4 in several key benchmarks.
OpenAI has released GPT-5.5, positioning the model as a new level of intelligence for real-world work, complex task execution, and AI agent management.
Google has announced three new AI-powered imaging tools at Cloud Next. The goal is to let creative teams place AI-generated visuals into real street-level locations, while giving urban planners and analysts faster ways to interpret satellite imagery.
Google used Cloud Next ’26 to unveil its eighth-generation TPUs, a revamped agent platform, and a new AI layer for Workspace. The company is grouping all of these announcements under the label “Agentic Enterprise.”
Google wants to improve its AI coding models — and use more AI internally to do it. In the long run, the company reportedly sees this as a step toward AI systems that can eventually improve themselves.
OpenAI has introduced Chronicle for its Codex app. The new feature uses screen recordings to automatically create memories that Codex can use as context for future tasks. This allows Codex to understand what users are referring to, which tools they use, and which projects they are working on, without needing everything to be explained again.
Anthropic’s Opus 4.7 carries the same list pricing as Opus 4.6 on paper. In practice, however, it appears to consume noticeably more tokens per request. That is according to measurements published by developer Abhishek Ray on Claude Code Camp.
At the second half marathon for humanoid robots in Beijing, Chinese machines posted dramatically better times on Sunday than they did a year ago. The winning robot, developed by smartphone maker Honor, completed the 21-kilometer race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, beating the current human half-marathon world record set by Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo in Lisbon the previous month. Honor, a Huawei spinout, took all three podium places, according to Reuters. Last year’s winning robot needed 2 hours and 40 minutes, more than twice as long as the human winner of the regular race.
