Gemini 3.1 Ultra goes live with Google’s largest context window yet
Google just slotted Gemini 3.1 Ultra above 3.1 Pro and 3.1 Flash. It’s the new top of the family, built for the tasks where Pro starts to crack — multi-step agents, hairy long-document reasoning, deep research runs that chew through hundreds of sources before answering. What makes Ultra different It’s not a fresh architecture. It’s… Continue reading

Public preview hit late April 2026, and ASML, ABANCA, France Travail, and CMA-CGM are pushing millions of executions through it daily. What it actually is An orchestration product… Continue reading

Microsoft shipped Agent 365 GA on May 1. Standalone is $15/user/month, or you bundle it into the new Microsoft 365 E7 tier at $99/user/month. E7 is Microsoft’s first net-new enterprise license tier since E5 in 2015 — that alone signals how seriously they’re treating agent sprawl.
What Agent 365 actually is A control plane for enterprise AI agents, not an agent itself. IT admins get a console showing every agent in the org — who built it, what it can touch, whether anyone still owns it. The platform flags risky or orphaned agents, enforces lifecycle policies, and pipes audit logs into… Continue reading

Cloudflare and Stripe co-launched an open protocol on April 30 that treats AI agents as actual paying customers of cloud infrastructure. An agent can create a Cloudflare account, register a domain, start a paid subscription, and push an app to production — no human in the loop. How it works Three pieces glued together.

Cloud Computer by Manus is a persistent Linux VM for bots, not another ephemeral sandbox
Most agent sandboxes today are throwaway: task ends, container dies, files gone. E2B, OpenAI code interpreter, Anthropic computer use — all ephemeral by design. Manus shipped the opposite. Cloud Computer, launched April 30 on Product Hunt, is a persistent Ubuntu VM. Files, installed tools, cron jobs all survive across sessions. Your agent writes to MySQL… Continue reading
