Anthropic launches the standalone product Claude Duet, positioned as a proactive Agent. It is currently open as a research preview and requires an application submitted on Claude. The first batch is aimed at Pro and Max users in the United States, offering three entry points: iOS, Android, and claude.ai. Duet is designed based on Claude Opus 5.5. It proactively organizes important matters from connected apps and pushes briefings, and can also take on tasks such as scheduling meetings, building data dashboards, and making forecasts, and can use more than 6,000 connectors and plugins in the Claude Marketplace. Before sending messages, making payments, signing documents, or deleting content, it first displays the pending action and waits for approval. Credit card numbers and ID document information are directly denied access, while health and personal financial information is released only with explicit authorization.

NVIDIA and Agile Robots jointly launched the humanoid robot reference platform Agile ONE SN during the GTC conference in Berlin, targeting research institutions and developers, with an expected market launch in early 2027. The platform is based on NVIDIA's Isaac GR00T development platform and is equipped with the Jetson Thor onboard computing system, integrating data collection, simulation, training, validation, and deployment into a unified workflow; NVIDIA says it can shorten development environment setup time from weeks to days. In terms of hardware, the platform is about 1.4 meters tall, with 31 degrees of freedom in the body, equipped with two five-fingered tactile dexterous hands each with 20 degrees of freedom, a maximum single-arm payload of 3 kilograms, and integrated sensors including head and wrist cameras and LiDAR; the software comes preinstalled with the GR00T 1.7 open vision-language-action model and a whole-body control system, and skills and data developed on Agile ONE SN can later be transferred to the full-size humanoid robot Agile ONE for industrial applications. During the same period, NVIDIA also launched the Isaac OS runtime framework, officially released Isaac Lab 3.0, and provided more than 2,000 robot and factory assets that can be used directly for simulation.

At PyTorch Conference 2026, Google and Amazon respectively released the open source frameworks TorchTPU and TorchNeuron, which are used to migrate existing AI applications from Nvidia GPUs to their own chips. Google said that TorchTPU, developed in collaboration with Meta, only requires changing the device string in the code to model.to("tpu"), and more than 98% of existing PyTorch models can run on TPUs, with conversion times ranging from a few minutes to several days. AWS's TorchNeuron lets PyTorch models run directly on Trainium chips by simply replacing cuda with neuron; it has opened a public beta on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license and has contributed code to the main PyTorch project.
