<li><strong>Pentagon demands military access to AI models</strong>: The Pentagon is demanding AI companies, including Anthropic, allow military use of their technology for “all lawful purposes,” which includes autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. Anthropic is resisting these demands, particularly concerning autonomous weapons, risking the cancellation of its $200 million contract. This dispute highlights the growing tension between ethical AI development and national security interests, with other major AI players like OpenAI and Google also facing similar pressures. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=VtyOOEppn&amp;id=2BTVSGYkh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>OpenAI doubles down on agentic AI with OpenClaw creator</strong>: OpenAI has hired Peter Steinberger, the creator of the open-source personal AI agent OpenClaw, to lead its next-generation agent development. OpenClaw, which automates tasks like email replies, will remain open source under a foundation supported by OpenAI. This move signals a significant push into agentic AI, where autonomous agents accomplish multi-step goals, but also raises concerns about security, privacy, and the centralization of control in big tech. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2BTVSGYkh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agent integrates google search console for SEO</strong>: A new Python MCP server, <code>mcp-gsc</code>, integrates Google Search Console with Claude Code, allowing SEO analysis and fixes within a single conversational interface. The developer used it to uncover critical SEO issues on their own site, demonstrating its potential to streamline workflows and eliminate the need to switch between multiple tools. This tool leverages AI for automated insights, offering 19 functions for GSC analytics and URL inspection. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/rHujhRHLJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>AI coding models get speed boosts with trade-offs</strong>: Anthropic and OpenAI have introduced “fast modes” for their coding models, with Anthropic achieving 2.5x speed by reducing batch sizes at 6x the cost, and OpenAI reaching 15x speed using specialized Cerebras chips but with a smaller, less capable model. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/e1zDCJ67S" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Small team achieves breakthrough in conversational AI latency</strong>: Gradium, a small team from Kyutai, developed Moshi, the first full-duplex conversational AI model to achieve 160ms latency, operating with significantly fewer parameters than typical text models. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/iRysiiuhz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Linux 7.0 enhances M.2 support and NFS performance</strong>: Linux 7.0 introduces a power sequencing driver for PCIe M.2 connectors, enabling Device Tree platforms to manage M.2 interfaces and supporting dynamic thread pool sizing for NFS servers to optimize resource utilization. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=2zVNOvhqh&amp;id=8Lxd8Rnjy&amp;id=319goy50e" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>New HTML archival format tackles web preservation</strong>: A new HTML archival format called Gwtar aims to solve the “trilemma” of being static, single-file, and efficient by combining an HTML+JavaScript header with a tarball of assets, enabling lazy-loading and gigabyte-sized web page archiving. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/t2oeOs48x" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Windows Notepad vulnerability allowed remote code execution</strong>: A critical RCE vulnerability (CVE-2026-20841) was found in Windows Notepad, allowing code execution via malicious Markdown links, which Microsoft has since patched in the Store version. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/AAuuxbltu" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>Alibaba’s new AI image model struggles with basic tasks</strong>: Alibaba released Quinn Image 2.0, an AI image generation model, claiming improved typography and 2K resolution. However, one user’s attempt to generate a YouTube thumbnail revealed issues with aspect ratio and output quality, suggesting the model might not be as intuitive or effective in practice as advertised. Apparently, even AI can’t always “understand the assignment.” <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/zRxAENzbc" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI coding assistants will make your brain melt, apparently</strong>: A recent opinion piece warns that over-reliance on AI coding assistants could lead to “cognitive atrophy” in programmers, suggesting that convenience comes at the cost of diminished problem-solving skills. The author, clearly nostalgic for the good old days of manual debugging, implies that if you’re not memorizing every API call, you’re basically losing your brain. Because, you know, using tools to be more efficient is definitely a sign of intellectual decay. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/qtVi65Njq" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Developers fear AI will make them obsolete, again</strong>: Software developers are reportedly experiencing “Deep Blue” anxiety, fearing AI will devalue their skills as coding agents can now produce working software autonomously. The article tries to reassure everyone that “accumulated developer experience remains valuable.” So, while AI writes the code, you can still feel good about all those years you spent learning how to debug it. What a relief! <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/DwIZWcSFk" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
