    Anthropic launches Claude Duet standalone app, proactively executing tasks based on Claude Opus 5.5

    Anthropic opens a research preview of Claude Duet, a standalone app based on Claude Opus 5.5, repositioned from "you ask, it answers" to "it comes to you proactively." It pushes a briefing every morning and continuously executes tasks in a cloud virtual machine; actions such as sending messages, making payments, signing, and deleting all require user approval. The first batch is aimed at Pro and Max users in the US, who need to apply and join a waitlist.

    We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf. https://t.co/kt8gAbWuX8

    NVIDIA Releases OpenShell Reference Architecture, Governing Agent Security with a Three-Layer Approach

    NVIDIA has released the OpenShell reference architecture, arguing that Agents cannot govern themselves and that security and governance should be placed at the infrastructure layer, which Agents cannot reach. The approach has three layers: the open-source runtime OpenShell defines permission boundaries through Gateway, Supervisor, Sandbox, and a formally verified Policy Prover; Vera CPU provides 88 Olympus cores and 1.2 TB/s memory bandwidth, with CoreWeave measuring sandbox startup more than 3x faster and Agent tasks on Terminal Bench 1.8x faster; BlueField-4 DPU plus Sentry provides optional hardware-level monitoring that can isolate violating Agents within a few milliseconds.

    Anthropic opens a research preview of Claude Duet, where Claude can proactively find and complete tasks

    Anthropic opens a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app that makes Claude a proactive agent: it proactively brings matters needing attention to the user, completes tasks the user assigns, keeps working while the user is away, and checks with the user before acting on their behalf. Cat Wu said Claude Duet notices work that needs to be done and does it before the user asks, a big step toward the direction of users wanting Claude to proactively take on more work; it is currently available to join a waitlist via a link.

    Anthropic opens a research preview of Claude Duet, positioned as a 24/7 proactive personal agent

    Anthropic has opened a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app that lets Claude work as a proactive agent: it proactively surfaces things that need attention, completes tasks the user assigns, keeps working after the user steps away, and checks with the user before acting on their behalf. Peter Yang says he was given early access; in his video he calls it the most proactive agent and analyzes how Artifacts could become its key advantage, while comparing it with Grok Bot, Muse, and Dots. He notes that Duet is currently in research preview and will see significant improvements going forward.

    Unitree releases the H2-X humanoid robot, claiming a battery life of about 8 hours

    Unitree has released the H2-X Kung Fu Legend Guardian humanoid robot, claiming a battery life of about 8 hours, nearly 3 times that of the standard H2. The author points out that this figure counts standing time, and it remains unclear how long patrols, fighting, or carrying can last. The standard H2 weighs 70kg, has 31 joints, is equipped with a swappable 0.97kWh battery pack, offers about 3 hours of battery life, and is priced at $29,900; in the launch video, the H2-X leaps down from a 4-meter platform, kicks through a scrapyard, and repels club-wielding intruders. The author believes early buyers are more likely to come from venues and warehouses that need overnight staffing rather than from households.

    Anthropic's Claude Security automatically rescans repositories as code changes

    Anthropic's Claude Security now continuously monitors repositories, automatically rescanning after code changes land, automatically closing the corresponding issues once patches go live, reopening them when vulnerabilities recur, and combining security team notes and an editable threat model to determine which vulnerabilities attackers can actually reach. Previously it was only an on-demand or scheduled scanner, and results went stale as soon as the code changed. Anthropic says that since April, thousands of organizations have discovered more than 1 million vulnerabilities; Claude Enterprise customers can get public beta access, plus two months of $25,000 per month in credits through December 31, 2026.

    Claude Security now keeps up with your code as it changes. Connect your repositories once. Claude runs a deep first scan, then re-scans as changes land, so findings stay close to the current state of your code. In public beta on Claude Enterprise. https://t.co/J5kPSEhWp3

    Anthropic launches Duet, an always-on personal agent

    Anthropic has released Duet, an always-on personal agent that runs as an app separate from Claude on iOS, Android, and the web. Dan Shipper said that after testing it for two weeks, the share of his time spent using Claude rose to about 50%; the app includes channels divided by work and life domains, to-do lists, and document and slide editing features. He also noted that Duet cannot yet direct Claude sessions on a computer, that its email drafts are not as good as dot's, and that its voice feature only supports transcription and cannot hold a conversation.
