OpenAI just rolled out Codex in preview inside the ChatGPT iOS app across all plans, giving developers a way to track, manage, and act on long-running AI tasks from their phone as the company battles Anthropic for the coding tool market. Codex continues to run on a laptop or remote host, with users able to access live threads, code changes, approvals, plugins, and start new tasks via mobile.
Thor is different from most AI assistants: it reaches out to you, not the other way around. It monitors your Slack threads and meetings, spots action items, and surfaces them before they get dropped. Free beta access for AI News Roundup readers.
OpenAI is reportedly considering legal action against Apple over their 2024 ChatGPT-Siri deal, enlisting a law firm to explore options that may include a breach-of-contract notice due to the results of the “deteriorating” partnership. The two sides entered a deal in 2024 during the initial Apple Intelligence launch, giving Siri the ability to call on ChatGPT for more complex queries.
China's Unitree unveiled a transformable mecha as it preps a Shanghai IPO. The GD01 is a 2.8-metre manned mecha that shifts from bipedal to quadrupedal mode in seconds. It is built largely in-house, priced around $573,000, and runs the transformation autonomously.
Anthropic and the Gates Foundation are teaming up to commit $200 million over four years to deploy AI across global health, education, and economic mobility programs. Under the terms of the agreement, the Gates Foundation will bring grant funding, program design, and expertise, while Anthropic will provide Claude AI usage credits and support from its technical staff.
Anthropic announced a policy that will split Claude's agent usage into a monthly credit pool, restoring support for third-party agentic tools but angering power users in the process by walling them off from normal subscription limits. Starting June 15, Agent SDK and claude -p no longer draw from subscription limits, and will be solely used towards Claude Code, Cowork, and chat.
Most AI agents demo well. Few ship real work.
Most AI agents can run a task. The problem is everything around it: setup, memory, context, cost, and figuring out what actually happened.
SureThing turns useful AI skills into autonomous agents with business context, persistent memory, cost-aware model selection, and a live dashboard. Paste a link, assign the work, and your agent reports back like a human teammate: what it did, what it cost, what needs your decision, and what happens next.
Built for founders, operators, and marketers who want AI to ship work, not become another tool to babysit.
