Also: an iOS Agents app, Agent SDK in public beta, a model picker across Opus 5, GPT-5.6 Sol and Kimi K3, and 50% faster AI Search. Skills plus delegating sub-agents is the exact shape coding agents converged on, now inside a wiki.

Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell filed August 28 in the Northern District of California against Anthropic, CEO Dario Amodei and co-founder Benjamin Mann, over what they call a "brazen campaign of illegally torrenting, scraping and downloading copyrighted works on a ma...
An open-weight Chinese frontier model is now a dropdown option in Microsoft's coding product. That happened before anyone finished characterizing what the model does. GitHub's changelog dated August 6 makes Kimi K3 generally available across Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business an...
