Models, agents and the work they can actually do.

AI coverage often moves from a demonstration to a sweeping prediction in a single paragraph. This desk stays with the details: what a model was asked to do, what it could access, how the result was checked and where the experiment stopped.

Read the news below for releases and research, then use the explainers to understand the systems behind them. We cover model access, tool permissions, background tasks, local processing and the cost of a completed job.

A downloadable model is not automatically licensed for every use. A product announcement is not a benchmark, and a persistent agent needs more than a chat window. Those distinctions shape our coverage. We link to original documentation and attribute company claims so you can inspect the evidence and decide how it applies to your own work.

Browse all news or explainers, or meet the desks on our About page.
