OpenAI just rolled out GPT-5.1-Codex-Max, an upgrade to its agentic coding model that uses a new “compaction” technique to work across context windows for longer-running, complex tasks and handle development sessions of over 24 hours. Codex-Max shows strong improvements over Codex-High across development benchmarks, also surpassing the new Gemini 3 Pro in coding tasks.

Meta released SAM 3 and SAM 3D, two computer vision models that identify, segment, and rebuild objects or people in a photo into 3D models through text descriptions, alongside a new Segment Anything Playground to try these systems. SAM 3 segments objects using detailed text descriptions like "yellow school bus," an upgrade from the fixed label limitations of previous vision models.

Saudi Arabia’s HUMAIN announced new AI partnerships with xAI, Nvidia, and other major companies at the U.S.-Saudi investment forum — including a plan to deploy 600K GPUs, build a 500+ MW data center, and deploy Grok nationwide. xAI will build its first international data center in Saudi Arabia, deploying Grok nationwide through HUMAIN's agent platform for government & enterprise use.

Target hasn’t been doing well in recent quarters, but maybe its next store has promise. The retailer is launching a beta test next week to turn OpenAI’s assistant into a personal shopper that can assemble multi-item carts, handle fresh groceries, and funnel orders to the nearest store.

Big shakeup for your marketing team. Design software giant Adobe is acquiring SEO software company Semrush for $1.9 billion as the Photoshop maker looks to strengthen its marketing tools and build on its AI-enabled products. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of next year.

AI Tutorial

🤩 Create n8n workflows directly from Claude

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to generate complete n8n workflow automations by describing what you want in plain English — using Claude Sonnet 4.5 via MCP to build workflows without manually connecting nodes.

Step-by-step:

  1. Install Claude Desktop and Node.js, then open your terminal and run npx n8n-mcp to start the MCP server

  2. In Claude Desktop, go to Settings > Developer > Edit Config and paste the configuration code, adding your n8n URL (from your workflow dashboard) and API key (Settings > n8n API > Create API Key)

  3. Restart Claude Desktop, click the n8n MCP icon in the bottom right, and click "Enable all tools"

  4. Simply describe your automation to Claude: (Eg. "Build an n8n workflow that monitors my Gmail for emails with 'invoice' in the subject, extracts the invoice amount using AI, and logs it to a Google Sheet")
