| 🧠 Anthropic launches world's first 'hybrid reasoning' AI LINK
|
- Anthropic has launched Claude 3.7 Sonnet, a "hybrid reasoning model" designed to tackle complex problems, surpassing earlier models in tasks like mathematics and programming.
- The company introduced Claude Code, a tool positioned as an active coding assistant capable of editing, testing, and managing code repositories, further expanding its AI coding capabilities.
- Claude 3.7 Sonnet is accessible via the Claude app, Anthropic's API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud's Vertix AI, maintaining the same operational cost as its predecessor, 3.5 Sonnet.
| 🔮 Perplexity AI unveils a new browser LINK
|
- Perplexity, known for its natural-language search engine, is launching a new web browser called Comet, entering a market long dominated by Google's offerings.
- Details about Comet's features and market positioning are currently unavailable, as the announcement was made via a simple social media post featuring only a flashy animation.
- Interested users can sign up for beta access through a minimalistic website, with the opportunity to gain quicker access by sharing Comet on social networks and tagging Perplexity's account.
| 📊 Microsoft is testing a 'free with ads' version of Office LINK
|
- Microsoft is experimenting with an ad-supported version of Office for Windows, allowing users to access applications like Word and Excel without a Microsoft 365 subscription fee in select countries.
- The test version includes permanent banner ads and video commercials, and Microsoft requires users to save documents in OneDrive, disabling local storage options.
- This ad-supported Office for Windows lacks several features found in the paid version, such as Word's drawing tools, Excel's pivot tables, and PowerPoint's dictation support.
| ❌ Chegg sues Google over AI search summaries LINK
|
- Chegg has filed a federal lawsuit against Google, alleging that Google's "AI Overviews" harm Chegg's website traffic and revenue by using its content without permission.
- The lawsuit accuses Google of abusing its dominant position in the search market to force companies to provide materials for its AI-generated summaries, citing antitrust law violations.
- This legal action adds Chegg to the growing list of companies challenging Google over content misuse, employing the Sherman Act as a unique legal strategy.
| 🤖 Google launches a free AI coding assistant LINK
|
- Google has launched a free AI coding tool called Gemini Code Assist for Individuals, which provides code completion and assistance and integrates with popular coding environments like VS Code and JetBrains.
- Gemini Code Assist for Individuals offers 180,000 code completions per month, significantly more than the 2,000 completions provided by the free GitHub Copilot plan, and includes 240 chat requests daily.
- Google is positioning its new tools to compete with Microsoft and GitHub in the developer tools market, aiming to attract developers who may later opt for an enterprise version of Code Assist.
