a forest entrance with a trail sign that reads “Agents” –ar 5:3 –style raw
This week’s category cover theme is a sign in a forest. Each category image prompt is a derivative of the formula “an [category themed object] in a forest with a trail sign that reads “[category name]”. Using a theme each week takes the cover creation time down to about 20 minutes, rather than several hours.

Microsoft Copilot News
“Microsoft just previewed Copilot’s new feature powered by GPT-4o. By enabling screen sharing, the AI can watch and understand what you’re on your computer and answer questions in real-time. It’s essentially the new ChatGPT Mac App, but for Windows.
Microsoft’s new Windows Copilot Runtime aims to win over AI developers – The Verge
“Another step towards JARVIS. Microsoft Copilot is getting GPT-4o, which is multimodal in & out — so you can talk while screen sharing and get real time Minecraft coaching. Might be the only way I learn to build & fight at the same time in Fortnite.
“Here is a preview of Copilot, powered by @OpenAI GPT-4o. Watch one of our developers have a natural conversation with Copilot as it helps him avoid Zombies in Minecraft.
“Copilot is also getting a new screen-sharing feature powered by GPT-4o It allows AI to watch, hear, and understand what a user is doing on their computer and answer questions in real time. We’re entering an entirely new era of tech work.
What’s next: Microsoft Build continues the evolution and expansion of AI tools for developers – The Official Microsoft Blog
“‘Browsing’ is about to be completely transformed. Finally, our AIs have learnt to speak our languages, and actually see what we see. This demo is particularly close to my heart. It completes work that I started at DeepMind back in 2011.
OpenAI
“We’re rolling out interactive tables and charts along with the ability to add files directly from Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive into ChatGPT. Available to ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Enterprise users over the coming weeks.
Rabbit
“NEW VIDEO IS LIVE: $30,000,000 AI Is Hiding a Scam
“I’m so sorry about anyone who bought the rabbit r1. It’s not just that the product is non-functional (as we learned from all the reviews), the real problem is that the whole thing seems to be a lie. None of what they pitched exists or functions the way they said.
Zapier
“Zapier Central’s Chrome extension is one of the most underrated AI tools right now. It scrapes any website you’re on and then automates actions across 6,000+ apps. Here’s a simple use case that my team and I are implementing to save time:” / X
Other Agent News
“@romainhuet Arc Search just introduced ‘Call Arc’, a new AI call feature. It allows users to get quick AI answers by holding their phone to their ear and asking a question, similar to a phone call. It’s even available as an action button on iPhones 👀
“Pick up your phone! Quick questions just got quicker answers Call Arc, now live in Arc Search ☎️
“You can now have an AI agent in your mobile operating system. Here are 3 things it can do: 1. Hook into system-level triggers like notifications 2. Use any app that’s already installed on the device 3. Read data and gather context across sandboxed applications
“Cool experiment where researchers assemble an AI translation “company” with AI agents with simulated backgrounds filling various roles, from editors to proofreaders. The AI “company” creates accurate translations of Chinese web novels that people prefer to GPT-4, and human, ones
“”Robust agents learn causal world models” ✨ Shows that any agent capable of satisfying a regret bound under a large set of distributional shifts must have learned an approximate causal model of the data generating process, which converges to the true causal model for optimal
“I think the impact of tool use on LLM capability is not fully appreciated. I gave GPT-4o an original puzzle that we created for a simulation set on a fictional space mission (try it first). When asked to solve it “by hand” it was close but failed. When using code, it nailed it.
Wafer: We are developing a new mobile operating system where agents are treated as a first-class primitive.
