  • Cloud agents boot into a warm image

    Cursor's new Builds pre-bake your dev environment—dependencies, setup, checkout—so a cloud agent starts from a ready snapshot instead of provisioning each run. Cursor clocks 10x faster environment boots and 3x faster time-to-first-token, and it ships free on Cloud Agents: new environments use it by default, existing ones opt in from the dashboard.

  • Gemini builds interactive apps inside Sheets

    Google's new Sheets canvas turns a natural-language prompt into a custom, read-write mini-app—calculators, trackers, dashboards—running live over your spreadsheet data. It's a real weekend unlock: describe the tool you want and get an interactive interface without touching Apps Script.

  • OpenAI's Daybreak cyber models reach AWS Bedrock

    Daybreak Blue (authorized defensive security) and Daybreak Red (vulnerability research and exploit validation) are now available to eligible customers on Amazon Bedrock. The specialized GPT-5.6-Cyber tier completes 95% of advanced cybersecurity requests versus ~1.5% for standard Sol—access stays gated behind approval.
