    Ethan Mollick on DeepMind's intelligence economics research: agent coordination capability is the key to economic transformation

    Ethan Mollick commented on Google DeepMind's "The Economics of Intelligence" research, pointing out that an organization is not merely the sum of its best individuals, so a single agent becoming stronger will not change the economy on its own; only agents that can work in coordination may bring about transformation. The research, released by Alex Imas, Andrew Koh, and Shane Legg, proposes two thresholds of economic capability—capability and coordination—and argues that economic transformation depends on whether AI becomes a super-strong individual, super-strong collaboration, or both.

    Gemini 4 Carbon Tops the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index with 59 Points

    Google's Gemini 4 Carbon ranks first on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index with 59 points, 1 point higher than Claude Opus 5.5's 58 points and 2 points higher than GPT-6 Astra's 57 points. Artificial Analysis found that Carbon won 4 of 9 benchmarks (HLE-Diamond, Terminal-Bench-Science, AA-Omniscience, AutomationBench-AA), but it does not lead in coding and knowledge work. Calculated at standard prices, it costs $7.76 per index task, about 23% lower than Opus 5.5's $10.04, but higher than GPT-6 Astra's $6.25.

    Exo Architecture: AI Agent Runtime Self-Improvement

    Alex Krentsel, a Senior Research Scientist at Google Research and a PhD student at UC Berkeley, shared the self-improving AI agent architecture Exo at Arena. Drawing on the exokernel approach from operating systems, it splits the agent into a protected mechanism layer (state, history, keys, and a "guardian") and a fully evolvable policy layer. On benchmarks and open-world RuneScape tasks, Exo is 31-62% cheaper than Codex and Pi.

    Gemini app now supports editing documents and PDFs within conversations

    Google announced that Gemini app users can now generate, preview, and edit files such as documents, PDFs, presentations, spreadsheets, and code directly within conversations, and this capability is available to all users in all regions where the app is available. Editing methods include direct full-screen input and modification, selecting text to ask Gemini questions, and having Gemini rewrite file content. PDF preview and editing are supported on both the web version and mobile, while other formats such as Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Markdown, TXT, and code are supported only on the web version. This update adds an in-place editing layer on top of the file generation feature launched on April 29, 2026.

    Epoch AI report: open-source model GLM 5.3 exploits Firefox patch gap to launch attacks

    Epoch AI published research on October 29, 2026, stating that GLM 5.3, an open-weight model released by Z.ai in August 2026, can exploit browser patch gaps to compromise six recent versions of Mozilla Firefox, at a marginal cost of about $1,000 per version. In the experiment, the model, without internet access and with only public information, autonomously completed vulnerability identification and a multi-stage exploit chain, with the fastest run taking 12 hours, and repeatedly rediscovered an undisclosed vulnerability; Epoch has notified Mozilla of the vulnerability, which the latter fixed in Firefox 159.0 released on October 27, 2026. Epoch said total API spending for the Firefox effort exceeded $100,000, while attacking Google Chrome with the same toolset cost about $100,000 and still did not succeed.

    Akamai Launches AI Inference and Agent Sandbox Services, Expanding Its Cloud Services Footprint

    On October 29, Akamai released beta versions of two products, Akamai Inference and Akamai Agent Sandbox, allowing users to run AI models on Akamai Cloud and securely execute code generated by AI agents. Akamai Inference supports 12 open-weight models, including OpenAI's gpt-oss-120b, Google's Gemma 4, and Nvidia's Nemotron 3 Ultra, and provides an OpenAI-compatible API. Agent Sandbox is based on WebAssembly isolation technology and restricts code access to computing resources, network connections, and system functions.

    Gemini 4 Carbon ranks 2nd on Agent Arena with a net improvement of 16.2%

    Arena.ai says Gemini 4 Carbon ranks 2nd in the real-task-based Agent Arena with a net improvement of 16.2%, and sits on the Pareto frontier for cost, time, and output tokens per task. Compared with Gemini 4 Argon, which ranks 7th with an 11% improvement, Carbon is 5 places higher and 5.2 percentage points better; the gains mainly come from a +13.2 percentage point increase in the positive-feedback-to-complaint ratio, +5.6 percentage points in confirmed success, and +4.8 percentage points in steerability. Arena says Carbon's availability will be announced by Google DeepMind.

    Intel acquires Classiq for $2.3 billion, betting on quantum computing commercialization

    Intel announced the acquisition of Israeli quantum software company Classiq for $2.3 billion, with the deal expected to close in the second half of next year. Classiq's platform uses AI natural language models and a Python-like language to help developers build quantum algorithms and applications, and already has more than 40 enterprise customers, including Comcast, AT&T, BMW, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Intel CTO Pushkar Ranade said the move will turn its 10-year-old quantum R&D team into a real quantum computing business, making Intel a full-stack quantum company able to compete with IBM and Google.

    Alphabet released its quarterly earnings report, with revenue up about 25% year over year to $127.6 billion, slightly below analyst expectations, while net profit fell about a quarter to nearly $26.2 billion; shares fell about 9% after the report was released. Search advertising revenue rose about 12% year over year to $63.35 billion, below analysts' expectation of about $65 billion; Google manager Philipp Schindler said ad monetization efficiency in AI Mode remains lower than in traditional search. Cloud service revenue more than doubled year over year at a scale of $3.07 billion and beat market expectations, quarterly capital expenditure rose to about $51 billion, and the company maintained its full-year infrastructure spending forecast of $195 billion to $205 billion.

    IndiaMART Q2 profit rises 10% to ₹90.7 crore, revenue ₹428.6 crore

    Indian B2B platform IndiaMART announced its results for the September 2026 quarter (Q2 FY27): net profit rose 10% year-on-year to ₹90.7 crore, and revenue grew 10% to ₹428.6 crore. The number of paid suppliers fell 2% year-on-year to 217,000, active buyers declined 7% to 40 million, and standalone business enquiries dropped 14% to 27 million. CEO Dinesh Agarwal said the decline in enquiries stems partly from Google AI Overviews, and from the company moving some content behind a login to block crawling by search engines and LLMs, and said he is willing to give up the current 10-20% of business enquiries to protect proprietary data.

    Paytm expects UPI MDR to bring in Rs 70 crore per fiscal year

    Paytm Group CFO Madhur Deora said on the Q2 FY27 earnings call that after NPCI imposed a 0.4% MDR on P2M UPI transactions above Rs 2,000, based on the current GMV of Rs 28 trillion, this could bring incremental EBITDA of slightly over Rs 70 crore per fiscal year, potentially reaching Rs 90 crore in FY28. Paytm currently accounts for 8.1% of UPI transaction volume, trailing PhonePe's 45.6% and Google Pay's 32.2%; CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma said the goal is to capture one-third of the market share.
