Where do we even begin? 😅

The pace of AI developments has been intense for a while — but this week? It went into overdrive.

Here is the short version:

• Anthropic dropped Claude 4, “the world's best coding model”
• OpenAI brought on Jony Ive — the iPhone legend — to reimagine personal computing.
• Google I/O and Microsoft Build unleashed a flood of updates across everything from search to filmmaking.
• And OpenAI rolled out powerful new tools for building agentic applications.

Let’s dive in! 🏄‍♂️

AI Pulse 🚨

A bite-sized curation of this week's most important AI news.

🧠 Claude 4: Anthropic released Claude Opus 4 and Sonnet 4, setting new standards for coding and reasoning. Early feedback has been very positive, with users praising its coding capabilities, more nuanced reasoning, and significantly improved performance on complex tasks.

💻 OpenAI acquired Jony Ive’s hardware startup: Sam Altman and legendary iPhone designer Jony Ive announced a new joint venture called “io” — their take on the future of personal computing. Hardware + AI, reimagined from scratch.

🔧 OpenAI updates Responses API — their toolkit for building agentic applications: New tools including MCP server support, image generation, Code Interpreter, and improved file search capabilities. The update also brings background mode for async tasks and reasoning summaries.

👨‍💻 Mistral launches “Devstral”: A new agentic model built for software engineering, achieving 46.8% on SWE-Bench — outperforming previous open-source models. Fully open and free for commercial use.

You'll find a full breakdown of Google I/O and Microsoft Build below 👇

Let’s Vibe Code an MCP Server in 10 Minutes

In this step-by-step guide, we show you how to give Claude superpowers by building your own MCP server. Watch as we use Cursor to create tools like a task manager and quote generator — without writing a single line of code.

Google I/O

Here's a breakdown of Google's most significant I/O announcements

🔍 AI Mode for Search: a chat-based, multimodal search experience that reasons deeper and offers follow-up Q&A, now rolling out to U.S. users

🤖 Agent Mode: proactive AI assistants in Gemini, Search, and Chrome that autonomously manage multi-step tasks like bookings and research

💻 Jules: New autonomous coding agent in public beta, offering async code development.

📷 Gemini Live is now available for free on both Android and iOS

🧵 Stitch: an AI Labs tool that instantly generates high-fidelity UI designs and frontend code from plain-language or image prompts.

🎬 Flow: an AI-powered filmmaking app using the new Veo 3 model to craft cinematic clips and extend scenes from simple prompts.

📸 Veo 3 & Imagen 4: Veo 3 delivers next-gen video and audio creation, while Imagen 4 generates up to 2K-resolution images with fine detail, both available across Gemini, Whisk, and Vertex AI.

📱 Gemma 3n: a powerful mobile-first AI model that runs efficiently on phones and tablets.

🌊 Project Mariner: an AI workflow engine in Search that executes up to ten web tasks at once and automates recurring activities via “Teach and Repeat”

👓 Android XR smart glasses: co-developed with Samsung, these AR glasses offer real-time translation, navigation, and hands-free AI interactions

Microsoft Build

Here's a breakdown of Microsoft's most significant I/O announcements

🤖 GitHub Copilot Agent: Copilot is evolving into a full-fledged coding agent in VS Code, autonomously creating features, fixing bugs, refactoring code, and improving documentation.

🧩 MCP Support: Windows now natively supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—the “USB-C of AI apps”—with an MCP registry that lets AI agents discover and connect to Windows functionality like the file system.

📈 Agentic Web Vision: Microsoft doubled its AI agent usage year-over-year and unveiled its ambition for an open “agentic web,” positioning AI agents as first-class web citizens

🌐 NLWeb Protocol: A brand-new natural-language-first web protocol that lets you build “agentic” web apps entirely via plain English commands.

💬 Chat with Your Data: New natural-language querying lets you get insights faster by chatting directly with your data in Azure and Power BI​

🤝 Teams AI Library & Agentic Memory: New Teams SDKs (JavaScript/C#) now let you build collaborative agents with persistent, context-aware memory in Teams

🖥️ Windows AI Foundry: Formerly the Windows 11 Copilot Runtime, this local AI development environment (now on Windows and Mac) supports model selection, fine-tuning, and deployment right on your PC

☁️ Azure AI & Agent Foundry: Expanded to host 1,900+ models—including Elon Musk’s Grok 3—and now features a low-code Agent Foundry for building, orchestrating, and managing multi-agent workflows

🛠️ Microsoft 365 Copilot Tuning: A new low-code tool in Copilot Studio lets organizations tune AI models on their own data and orchestrate multi-agent processes across Microsoft 365
