Anthropic expands Claude Code
Anthropic has revamped the Projects feature in Claude Code, turning it into a system that can coordinate multiple AI agents. Users provide a goal, and Claude breaks it down into individual tasks and assigns them to parallel threads.
Lidl deploys autonomous truck
Lidl is using a driverless, autonomous electric truck in Germany for regular store deliveries for the first time. The vehicle, supplied by Swedish company Einride, operates at SAE Level 4 and has received the necessary approval from Germany’s Federal Motor Transport Authority.
New AI model for smarter automation
Diogo Almeida, a former OpenAI researcher who worked on the development of ChatGPT, has introduced Jev through his startup TypeSafe AI. Unlike large language models, Jev doesn’t generate text.
Meta’s new AI chip targets lower costs
Meta plans to start deploying its third self-developed AI processor, codenamed Arke, in its data centers in the first half of 2027. The chip is mainly designed for AI inference, meaning it processes trained model data to generate new information.
Google improves AI-powered weather forecasts
Google’s WeatherNext 3 improves weather forecasting by combining current raw satellite data with global weather analyses. This allows the model to detect atmospheric changes more quickly and update forecasts hourly instead of every six hours as before.
AI Robotics goes beyond humanoids
A new Fraunhofer study shows that AI robotics encompasses much more than the currently high-profile development of humanoid robots. While human-like machines attract considerable attention, the broader field includes specialized robots for many applications.
Decision-making in self-driving cars
Researchers from Motional and MIT have developed a system that enables self-driving cars to explain their decisions in real time. Known as CW-Net, the technology translates the internal logic of neural networks into contexts that humans can understand.
European robotics shows its strengths
European researchers presented 15 robots in Brussels, highlighting practical applications in households, industry, and logistics. The focus was less on spectacular demonstrations and more on safety, cognitive abilities, and meaningful interaction with humans.
How AI is redefining the automotive industry
The automotive industry is moving from software-defined vehicles toward AI-powered vehicles. Machine-learning models are increasingly determining how cars perceive their surroundings, make decisions and respond.
Cloudflare develops browser for AI agents
Cloudflare has unveiled Kitesurf, a cloud-based browser designed specifically for AI agents rather than humans. Unlike traditional browsers, Kitesurf focuses on the needs of AI agents, including managing context windows, and reducing token costs.
