    Anthropic launches personal AI assistant Claude Duet

    Anthropic releases Claude Duet as a research preview; this app is aimed at professionals and small business owners, and can check email and calendar, draft replies, and follow up on unfinished items. Duet reuses the memory, skills, and app connections users have already set up in Claude, sends morning briefings, checks connected accounts throughout the day, and notifies users when tasks are completed or decisions are needed. Duet shares usage quota with regular Claude conversations, and background checks consume quota, so Anthropic says it checks connected accounts only every few hours; Team and Enterprise customers must wait for availability.

    Anthropic releases Claude Duet research preview and discloses its safety, privacy, and security design

    Anthropic releases the research preview of Claude Duet, a proactive agent that runs continuously on a cloud computer, can read the inbox, draft replies, book appointments, and execute routines after you leave. Before sending sensitive messages, making payments, or deleting content, it displays the action, target, and content and waits for approval; operations such as securities trading and transfers between accounts are not permitted even with approval. A newly added safety classifier divides information into two levels: never share and share with consent; passwords, browser cookies, and login tokens do not pass through the model, and the browser runs in a separate virtual machine.

    Claude Enterprise merges chat and Cowork into a unified experience

    Anthropic announced that the Claude Enterprise plan officially launches a unified Claude experience, merging chat and Cowork across web, desktop, and mobile, so teams can ask questions or deliver complete projects within the same conversation. Agent tasks run in Anthropic-hosted cloud environments, with each session using a separate virtual machine, network egress disabled by default, and connector credentials stored outside the sandbox. Administrators can control access by role and use the new Efficient mode to limit the experience to Sonnet and Haiku models, while also supporting spending limits at the organization, group, and member levels.

    Google Research uses open models such as MedGemma to advance tuberculosis screening implementation

    Google Research and Google for Health presented progress in bringing health AI research into clinical practice at IDWeek 2026, including open-source chest X-ray embeddings and MedSigLIP, as well as open-weight multimodal models MedGemma at 4B and 27B parameter scales; the latter can run locally offline and has accumulated over 10 million downloads. Tools developed by partner Nexus AI based on these algorithms have obtained EU CE MDR class IIb certification and ISO 13485 certification, and have been deployed in about 40 medical institutions across six countries including South Africa, Sierra Leone, and Côte d'Ivoire; more than 90 clinicians have evaluated over 25,000 chest X-rays, reducing turnaround time from weeks to under 45 seconds. Indonesia's Ministry of Health is fine-tuning MedGemma and MedSigLIP with domestic chest X-rays to support a screening target of 50 million people per year on local infrastructure.

    Figma code layers enter public beta, six teams share how they use it

    Figma announced that code layers have entered public beta, allowing teams to explore and build code-backed prototypes on the canvas. The article lists how six teams—Superside, Dell, Cox Automotive, Rocket Money, Merkle, and Checkout.com—use it, including using the Figma agent to turn static designs into code layers, comparing multiple versions side by side, and iterating in stages with precise values and reference screenshots. Merkle says iteration and feature development speed increased by 30%, and documentation creation time was reduced by up to 50%; a product manager at Cox Automotive says 19 versions took only about an hour of manual operation time. Code layers will consume AI credits; creating and editing will be free on paid plans until November 4, 2026.

    StartLux open-sources decision model inference engine Prism, up to 5.3x faster inference on a single card

    StartLux Origin Star open-sources its self-developed inference engine Prism, claiming it is the first inference engine built specifically for decision models and open-sourced. On a single H200, Prism processes a single short question 2.8x faster than the original vLLM 0.31 solution, and asking three questions in a row about the same material is up to 5.3x faster. The team says it achieves the speedup through four optimizations: narrowing the output layer computation range, forest-style computation, int8 integer arithmetic, and mixed scheduling; in a 231-question cross-engine comparison, the average per-question latency is 41 milliseconds.

    Anthropic launches proactive AI agent Claude Duet

    Anthropic releases proactive AI agent Claude Duet, based on Claude Opus 5.5, running in a virtual machine with an independent browser, able to monitor email, calendars, and business software on its own and handle tasks in the background. The service is first available in preview to Pro and Max subscribers in the United States, requires joining a waitlist, and can be used via the iOS and Android apps and claude.ai. Duet connects to more than 6000 connectors and plugins, including Gmail, Slack, QuickBooks, Stripe, and others; actions such as payments, signing documents, and deleting files require explicit user confirmation, while securities trading and transfers between accounts are completely prohibited. Anthropic calls it an early version that may misread messages or misjudge urgency, and background checks consume existing Claude plan quotas.

    Microsoft launches three MAI speech models on Foundry

    Microsoft launched three MAI speech models on Microsoft Foundry, including the streaming transcription model MAI-Transcribe-2-Streaming, the multilingual text-to-speech model MAI-Voice-2.1, and MAI-Voice-2.1-Flash for high-concurrency scenarios. According to Naomi Moneypenny, Senior Director of Product Development at Microsoft, streaming transcription produces an initial hypothesis within a few hundred milliseconds of receiving audio and progressively corrects it as context accumulates; the model ranks first on the Artificial Analysis leaderboard for both intermediate results and final transcription accuracy. Practitioners from the speech agent company Phonely caution that speech input and output are not the difficult part; the real challenge lies in pause handling to determine whether the caller has finished speaking, and latency and turn-taking need to be optimized in tandem.

    Hugging Face launches a Space to check whether models can run on AWS Trainium

    Hugging Face releases the torch-neuronx model support Space, which lets users view, by download count or trend, whether models on the Hub can run on AWS Trainium, and reports the number of sharded cores, compile-inclusive latency, and peak memory. Currently it only tests Transformers text-generation and image-text models, and only models that fit on 4 Trainium2 devices (up to 16 cores); each model generates 32 tokens for validation, comparing against CPU results in single-core mode, and in sharded mode a small model judges whether the English is fluent. Results come from the public dataset aws-neuron/torch-neuronx-model-support, and the Space also provides run scripts and a NEFF cache command that skips compilation.

    OpenAI opens the Decisions API to all customers, with response times in some scenarios shortened to 100 milliseconds

    On October 22, OpenAI officially opened the Decisions API to all customers. The interface optimizes inference speed and cost based on the reasoning model GPT-6 Luna, and in some scenarios shortens response time from 1 to 3 seconds to 100 to 180 milliseconds. The interface targets tasks with a clear answer range; developers can preset questions and optional answers, and the model outputs probabilities, options, or scores, for use in content classification, request routing, and deciding the next action of an AI agent, processing up to 400 questions per request. Enterprises such as Datadog, Ramp, and Speak have used it to replace some large-model calls; among them, Datadog's P95 latency for assessing agent command risk is about 40 times faster than available frontier models.
