Gemini now has a smarter 3.1 Pro version that is better at solving complex problems.
What: Starting today, we are rolling out new switching tools to your Settings page for all consumer accounts.
Claude Code
You can now use Claude Code to help you build software by reading your code, making changes, running tests, and delivering finished code.
The app makes it easier for people without an engineering background to get started with software development.
It helps teams share knowledge about their systems and architecture, making it easier for new members to understand projects.
Perplexity

Cursor
Cursor now supports self-hosted cloud agents that keep your code and tool execution entirely in your own network.
Your codebase, build outputs, and secrets all stay on internal machines running in your infrastructure, while the agent handles tool calls locally.
Self-hosted cloud agents offer the same capabilities as Cursor-hosted cloud agents, including isolated VMs, full development environments, multi-model harnesses, plugins, and more.
Claude
Today, Anthropic signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Australian government to cooperate on AI safety research and support the goals of Australia’s National AI Plan.
At Anthropic, we believe that AI has the potential to significantly accelerate scientific progress.
A multidisciplinary team from the ANU John Curtin School of Medical Research is using Claude to analyze genetic sequencing data to help tackle rare diseases.
Grok
You can now use Grok 4.1 Fast models with the agent tools, check out the documentation of agent tools to get started.
The price of agent tools drops by up to 50% to no more than $5 per 1000 successful calls, see the new prices at the pricing page .
Collections Search Tool : You can now search through uploaded knowledge bases (collections) in chat conversations via the API. For more details, check out the docs .
