  1. Okta's MCP Tool Scoping Cuts AI Agent Token Costs by 90%

    Okta's MCP Tool Scoping Cuts AI Agent Token Costs by 90% Okta has introduced a new approach to reduce the token costs associated with AI agents by implementing identity-based permissions for Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool lists. The company claims this method can cut the "tool tax" - tokens consumed when a model processes every available tool's schema, name, description, and parameters before making a tool call - by more than 90%. According to Okta, this tool overhead occurs prior to any to

  2. Neurosurgery resident solves Crouzeix's conjecture with GPT-5.6

    A neurosurgery resident with no formal advanced mathematics training has solved Crouzeix's conjecture, a 22-year-old open problem in numerical linear algebra, using a 16-hour autonomous run of GPT-5.6 Sol in ChatGPT Work mode. Dr. Shanmu Jin, a postdoctoral researcher and neurosurgery resident at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, prompted ChatGPT 5.6 on July 30, 2026 to work on the conjecture. The model ran autonomously for approximately 16 hours, exploring proof strategies through a branc

  3. Anthropic's Agents Turn on Each Other: Inside the Multi-Agent Turf War

    Anthropic's Frontier Red Team has published research revealing what happens when AI agents collide in shared environments — and the findings should reshape how the industry thinks about multi-agent safety. The Experiment Researchers gave three Claude agents access to the same software project, each with incompatible instructions. The agents didn't know others were working on the same codebase. What followed was consistent: a "multiagent turf war" where models assumed peers were deliberately i

  4. DeepSeek launches Harness, an open agent framework, and raises V4-Pro API prices

    DeepSeek launches Harness, an open agent framework, and raises V4-Pro API prices DeepSeek released DeepSeek Harness v0.1, an MIT-licensed open-source agent harness that gives developers a modular alternative to vertically integrated coding agents like Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex. At the same time, the company moved DeepSeek-V4-Pro to general availability with "significantly enhanced agent capabilities" and introduced peak/off-peak API pricing that roughly doubles costs for many w

  5. Anthropic brings Claude Cowork to its Chrome extension, adding skills and plugins to the browser

    Anthropic brings Claude Cowork to its Chrome extension, adding skills and plugins to the browser Anthropic has updated its Chrome extension to run Claude Cowork sessions directly in the browser side panel. The extension, which previously handled browsing and information gathering, now executes full Cowork workflows that can generate Excel files, PowerPoint slides, and reports from web-based research. The update enables skills, plugins, and connectors to work in the browser without extra setup.

  6. DeepSeek builds a team to challenge Anthropic's Claude Code

    DeepSeek is no longer keeping its agent ambitions quiet. The Hangzhou-based lab has opened an official social media account for a new "DeepSeek Harness Team" and posted job listings for roles aimed at building AI agents that can take on products like Anthropic's Claude Code. The account sits on WeChat, the Chinese super-app run by Tencent. Corporate records reviewed by Bloomberg show the account belongs to a Beijing-based entity controlled by DeepSeek, and Tencent has verified it. "Harness"

  7. Mistral opens its platform to third-party models

    Mistral said its platform will begin hosting third-party open models, starting with Z.ai's GLM-5.2, the company announced on August 12, 2026. The move extends Mistral's open-weights strategy beyond its own models and plants the French lab inside the broader contest for European AI sovereignty. GLM-5.2 is a third-party open source text model from Z.ai, hosted by Mistral for long-context coding and agentic workflows. Mistral says it is served without modifications. The model carries a one million

  8. Cisco's AI orders hit $4 billion in a single quarter

    Cisco took $4 billion in AI infrastructure orders from hyperscalers in the fourth quarter of its fiscal 2026, the company reported on August 12, 2026. The figure caps a year in which demand for the networking gear that connects GPU clusters more than tripled from what Cisco expected nine months earlier. The orders landed inside a quarterly earnings release that otherwise reads like a best case for a legacy networking vendor. Revenue reached $17.3 billion, up 18 percent year over year. Product o

  9. Twitch lets streamers block their content from Amazon's generative AI training

    Twitch lets streamers block their content from Amazon's generative AI training Twitch has quietly added a control that lets creators stop their streams, clips, and chat from being used to train Amazon's generative AI models. The setting, labeled "Training for Generative AI," sits in the Security and Privacy tab of account settings and is live now, but it arrives with a design that puts the burden on users to find it. What the toggle actually blocks Flipping the control off excludes a d
