Anthropic released a major update to its Cowork agentic platform with new department-specific AI agents, private plugin stores, and new connectors for Gmail, DocuSign, and more — escalating the enterprise agent war with OAI's Frontier. New pre-built agents cover 10 departments out of the gate, ranging from HR and engineering to banking, equity research, and wealth management.
The Lithium Boom is Heating Up
Thanks to growing demand, lithium stock prices grew 2X+ from June 2025 to January 2026. $ALB climbed as high as 227%. $LAC hit 151%. $SQM, 159%.
This $1B unicorn’s patented technology can recover 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That’s earned investment from leaders like General Motors.
Now they’re preparing for commercial production just as experts project 5X demand growth by 2040. They’ve announced what could be one of the US’ largest lithium production facilities and have rights to approximately 150,000 lithium-rich acres across North and South America.
Unlike public stocks, you can buy private EnergyX shares alongside 40,000+ other investors. Invest for $11/share by the 2/26 deadline.
This is a paid advertisement for EnergyX Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.energyx.com. Under Regulation A, a company may change its share price by up to 20% without requalifying the offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Meta has agreed to buy 6 gigawatts' worth of AI computing power from AMD in a deal valued at more than $100 billion. AMD has agreed to give Meta warrants to buy up to 160 million AMD shares, roughly 10% of the company, for $0.01 apiece, as long as certain milestones are met.
The Pentagon and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just delivered a Friday ultimatum to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: remove Claude's military safeguards, or face contract termination, government blacklisting, and forced compliance. Amodei has refused to budge on two Claude uses — autonomous weapons without a human in the loop, and bulk surveillance of American citizens.
Standard Intelligence introduced FDM-1, a ‘computer action’ model that learns to operate computers by watching video — already showing it can do CAD modeling, find software bugs, and drive a real car through San Francisco. FDM-1 is trained on 11M hours of screen footage, 550,000x (!) the largest open dataset, with an AI that reverse-engineers what actions produced each frame.
Google has added an autonomous agent to Opal, its vibe-coding app that lets users build mini web apps without writing code. Powered by Gemini 3 Flash, the agent can interpret text prompts, create step-by-step plans, and choose the right tools to complete tasks. It can connect to services like Google Sheets to store information across sessions, such as maintaining a shopping list.

How to check if your AI code reviewer is actually good

The report includes a live comparison tool where you can benchmark your own code review bot. Just scroll down and select "Try on your repo."
Sign up, set up code review, and select 'Bot Comparison' to see how your tool stacks up against the others.
The gap between some of these tools compared to others was huge. If you're responsible for any kind of tooling decisions, this one is definitely worth a look.
