Agent Mode in VS Code: GitHub Copilot now offers an autonomous agent mode that iterates on its own code, detects errors, and even suggests terminal commands for self-healing.
Copilot Edits GA: The new Copilot Edits feature is generally available in VS Code, enabling natural language-driven, multi-file inline edits in a conversational workflow.
Enhanced AI Integration: The tool now integrates Gemini 2.0 Flash in the model picker, improving code completions, chat, and overall AI performance.
Project Padawan Preview: A first look at autonomous SWE agents shows Copilot taking on routine development tasks — like generating fully tested pull requests — directly from issues.
ByteDance unveils Goku AI image and video creation
Unified High-Performance Architecture: Goku sets benchmark records in both image and video quality with a unified design.
Advanced Rectified Flow Technique: Enables seamless transitions between images and videos, powered by training on 160M images and 36M videos.
Enhanced Goku+ for Marketing: Specifically optimized for advertising, it creates photorealistic human avatars and product demos.
Specialized + Platform Tools: Offers dedicated features to turn product photos into video clips and facilitate realistic human–product interactions for commercial content.
Gradual Integration, Not Replacement: Over 36% of occupations use AI in at least 25% of their tasks, indicating AI is steadily being integrated rather than completely replacing jobs.
Augmentation Over Automation: Approximately 57% of tasks are augmented by AI, with only 43% fully automated — emphasizing a collaborative human-AI work model.
Tech-Heavy Adoption:Software development and technical writing roles are leading AI usage, particularly in mid-to-high wage positions, highlighting varied readiness across sectors.
Transparent Research Approach: The findings are based on millions of anonymized Claude.ai conversations, with the underlying dataset openly sourced for deeper analysis by researchers and policy experts.
Ultra-Fast Performance: Sonar delivers responses 10x faster than competitors like Gemini 2.0 Flash, powered by Cerebras inference infrastructure for near-instant answer generation.
Superior Quality: In tests, Sonar outperformed GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet in user satisfaction, factual accuracy, world knowledge, and other key benchmarks.
Widespread Availability: All Perplexity Pro subscribers now receive Sonar as their default model, with API access expected soon under the same architecture.
Upcoming Voice Mode: Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas teased that Voice Mode will be the only product reliably offering real-time voice answers for free.
Integrated Advanced Reasoning: GPT-5 will embed o3’s capabilities along with other OpenAI tech, creating a unified system that dynamically adjusts intelligence levels.
Tiered Access Model: Free users get unlimited access to GPT-5 at “standard intelligence,” while Plus and Pro tiers unlock progressively higher performance and advanced tools.
Predecessor Release: Before GPT-5, GPT-4.5 (codenamed “Orion”) will be launched as the final non-chain-of-thought model, marking the transition toward more reasoning-based AI.
Timeline: According to Altman, GPT-4.5 is expected in weeks, with GPT-5 following in months, and o3 will no longer be released as a standalone model.
