SpaceXAI’s coding platform Cursor just launched Origin, an early beta that hosts code repos and pull requests with agents built in, moving the company onto GitHub's turf the same day it suffered a massive outage for a large chunk of the day. The platform pairs each hosted repository with Cursor’s agent and review tool, keeping code browsing, follow-up edits, and human approval in one product.

No follow-up questions required

Every sales leader knows the feeling. You walk into a pipeline review with a number you believe in, and twenty minutes later, you're defending every line item to a CEO who just wants to know what's actually going to close.

HubSpot Sales Hub ends that conversation. Every deal, every rep's activity, and every buyer signal are all in one place and updated automatically. So your forecast is built on what's actually happening. And when you present that number, you can stand behind it.

Anthropic is heading for a stock listing on a run rate that grew sevenfold this year.Anthropic's annualized revenue run rate reached $65 billion at the end of July, up from $9 billion in December. OpenAI's comparable figure doubled to $40 billion over the same stretch, while Anthropic's multiplied more than seven times.

ByteDance agreed to a formal framework with Hollywood’s Motion Picture Association (MPA) that will implement film and TV copyright protections into its Seedance and Seedream models, months after it received a cease-and-desist notice. A viral Seedance 2.0 clip of Tom Cruise fighting sparked the initial legal feud, which marked the MPA’s first cease-and-desist against a major AI company.

Amazon's LAS8 warehouse in Las Vegas prints and ships books to order, and the tracked volume stopped at a door painted with a T. rex holding an open book. A federal judge ruled in June 2025 that buying print books and cutting them apart to scan them is fair use, since the digital copy replaces an original that no longer exists. Amazon says it buys books through commercial channels to help develop and improve its products and services.

Nvidia is charging up. The chipmaker is investing $1.5 billion in SB Energy, a data center linked to SoftBank and OpenAI, ensuring it will be the sole supplier of compute infrastructure at OpenAI’s Ports-Pike data center near Cincinnati, OH. Nvidia will also provide up to $105 billion in credit to help build the facility.

How to automate multiple tasks at once with Grok bot

Source: Grok Bot

  • Go to Grok Bot, download the desktop app, and sign in

  • Click the “+” icon in the top-left corner > Create new Bot

  • Describe what you want the Bot to do in plain language. Grok will use your instructions to set up the Bot for that specific workflow

  • Once it’s ready, name your Bot so it’s easy to identify from the sidebar

  • Create additional Bots for different roles or workflows.

  • You can run several Bots at once and use @mentions to have them collaborate on the same task

Sample Prompt: @InboxManager review my latest emails and pull out anything that needs a response, decision, or follow-up.

@Calendar review today’s meetings and flag anything I should prepare for, including relevant context and action items.
