Rime has released Prism, a speech-to-speech model for AI voice agents that writes every reply as text before speaking. Enterprises can edit the transcript and block things the agent should not say, while Prism keeps the call uninterrupted and can look up accounts or freeze cards during the conversation. Rime says no other speech-to-speech model takes this approach, making Prism better suited to regulated enterprises such as banks.

ChatGPT announced that dot supports interaction via iMessage or RCS text messages; users can assign it tasks or have it keep tracking something using text, photos, or voice messages, and dot will proactively send messages to report on relevant progress. The feature is rolling out as a preview to Pro users in the US. The company says only the user themselves can message their own dot, dot can only reply to that person, and neither dot nor OpenAI can access the user's other text conversations. To set it up, select Texting on dot's profile page; dot shares the same context and plugins across different entry points.

OpenAI has expanded access to the ChatGPT dot agent to iMessage and RCS; previously, the feature was only available within Slack or the ChatGPT app. Users can assign it tasks via text, photos, or voice messages, and it will proactively send messages to report progress; setup is done by selecting Texting in dot's profile, and it does not allow dot or OpenAI to access other text message conversations.
The Gemini app now adds the ability to generate, preview, and edit files within a conversation; you can type edits directly in full screen, select text to ask questions, or have Gemini rewrite the file. PDF preview and editing are supported on both web and mobile, while other formats such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, Slides, Markdown, TXT, and code are supported only on web. This feature is available to all users in all languages covered by the Gemini app.
Anthropic has trained Claude to perform a preliminary safety assessment of the conversation after each response; this technique, called self-assessment, has since it was enabled in June surfaced misuse that other safeguards were not designed to catch. The mechanism takes advantage of Claude having already read the conversation, costs less than classifiers, and improves in accuracy as the model improves. Rohan Paul adds that Anthropic's most accurate misuse detector is the Claude Mythos Preview classifier, which must first read all safety policies and is too expensive to run; Anthropic therefore trained Claude to replicate its judgments without reading the policies or the reasoning process, and on Fable 5 traffic this replica matched 78% of the detector's flags, rising to 94% for high-priority cases, with a false positive rate of 1%.

Anthropic has launched a new technique called self-assessment, which lets Claude immediately conduct a preliminary safety assessment of the entire conversation after responding. On Claude Fable 5, this mechanism flags 78% of conversations that a stronger prompt classifier deems potentially harmful, and 94% of high-priority conversations, with a 1% false positive rate. Anthropic says that since self-assessment was enabled in June, it has surfaced abusive behavior that other safeguards failed to cover, and that each successful attack now consumes about four times as many generated tokens as it would without the protection.

Anthropic trained Claude to give a preliminary safety assessment of the conversation after replying; this technique is called self-assessment and is used to flag potential abuse. Since the mechanism was enabled in June, it has detected abusive behavior that other safeguards failed to cover. Anthropic said that because Claude has already read the conversation, self-assessment is highly efficient, and unlike classifiers targeting fixed harm categories, it relies on the model's own judgment and will become more accurate as the model improves.

Google Gemini can now generate, preview, and edit PDFs, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Slides, Markdown, TXT, and code files directly within conversations, available to all Gemini users starting today. PDF preview and editing are available on both web and mobile, while other formats are currently limited to web. Users can expand documents to full screen for editing, or select text within a file to ask Gemini questions or have it make modifications, such as selecting a table and requesting it be converted into a chart. Earlier this year, Google already supported generating and downloading files in Gemini; what's new this time is the ability to modify files without leaving the Gemini app.

At Oracle AI World, Oracle released Oracle AI Security Mesh, a managed platform powered by OpenAI's frontier cybersecurity models that helps enterprises discover and remediate security vulnerabilities faster, covering applications and infrastructure on-premises, on OCI, and on other clouds. The platform first uses a discovery framework to map customer systems, then dedicated agents investigate weaknesses, verify reproducibility, and help prepare code fixes; all fixes must be approved by the customer before being applied, and each agent runs with an independent identity and just-in-time permissions. Oracle also mentioned that OCI Identity Assurance can use biometrics to confirm the identity of approvers for sensitive operations, while OCI Zero Trust Packet Routing provides underlying network access control for AI workloads.

OpenAI says it has added iCloud Mail and iCloud Calendar plugins to ChatGPT. The calendar integration can read, schedule, and update events in the iPhone calendar and in third-party apps that use iCloud Calendar; the mail integration can search and read iCloud Mail, manage emails and drafts, send emails, and look up iCloud contacts. ChatGPT can only access iCloud mailboxes at @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com, and cannot see other accounts such as Gmail or Outlook in the iOS Mail app, and both integrations require creating an app-specific password. The plugins are available across all plans on web, desktop, and iOS, and can also be used with Dots, the proactive agent OpenAI launched last month.

Sakana AI has released Sakana Aquarium, an AI agent building and operations platform that centers on ontology, organizing the knowledge, rules, and data scattered across an organization into a unified semantic layer so that agents can confirm information, make judgments, and execute tasks. The platform comprises three layers of mechanisms—ontology, governance, and managed agents—and allows access permissions and pre-execution approvals to be configured, while recording the entire process from the basis of a judgment to the execution result. The organized data and ontology can be directly reused by other agents, and Sakana AI says it will subsequently develop mechanisms that let agents continuously update the ontology as the organization changes, as well as AI-assisted agent building.

This week, Amazon announced the open-sourcing of TorchNeuron, a backend that converts PyTorch code into operations executable on AWS Trainium; PyTorch code already running on other accelerators can be migrated with almost no changes. It offers an optional adaptive eager mode that groups operations for compilation and caches NEFF at multiple levels, cutting the time to the first training step by about one-third in cross-accelerator large language model tests. The team also used an AI agent to scan Hugging Face repositories, selecting 841 representative models and tens of thousands of tensor shapes to build a tiered testing process.

1Password on Thursday launched 1Password for Agents, which lets users authorize AI agents to log in to their personal accounts on their behalf, with the agent never touching the user's credentials throughout the process. The platform establishes communication among the agent, the user, and the password manager: when an agent initiates a login, it sends a unique digital key to 1Password to confirm its identity; after the user receives a notification and personally confirms, 1Password fills in the credentials on the user's behalf to complete the login. Users can choose agents from Anthropic's Claude Duet, OpenAI's Dots or ChatGPT Work, Grok Bot, Meta's Muse, and Town; 1Password says it is working with other companies to expand the service.
