Fake it ‘til you make it? AI company Perplexity just launched its new ‘Perplexity Computer,’ a new platform that “reasons, delegates, searches, builds, remembers, codes, and delivers” in what Perplexity is calling a “general-purpose digital worker” somewhere between OpenClaw and Claude Cowork. Users describe an outcome, and the system spins up sub-agents that can browse, code, connect to apps, and autonomously handle tasks.

Investment firm General Atlantic is selling an equity stake in ByteDance in a deal that values the Chinese social media giant at $550 billion. The potential stake divestment marks a 66% jump in value since a share buyback last year priced the company at more than $330 billion.

Gucci just released a set of AI-generated images to promote creative director Demna's debut runway show at Milan Fashion Week on Friday — with the brand facing backlash over the ‘cheap’ use of the tech for a high-end brand. Gucci’s social posts for its “Primavera” campaign tagged each AI image with a disclosure notice, featuring a mix of synthetic and traditional shots.

Alphabet-owned robotics company, Intrinsic, is joining Google to unlock the promise of physical AI for a much broader set of manufacturing businesses and developers. It will remain a distinct entity within Google but work closely with Google DeepMind and tap into Google's Gemini AI models and cloud services.

Wayve’s self-driving tech has attracted a diverse set of investors in the company’s latest $1.2 billion funding round, including three automakers, top venture and institutional firms, and returning backers Microsoft, Nvidia, and Uber. The total raise could reach $1.5 billion thanks to another $300 million from Uber contingent on deploying robotaxis, beginning in London.
