Cirrascale Cloud Services today announced it has expanded its partnership with Google Cloud to deliver the Gemini model on premises through Google Distributed Cloud, making it the first neocloud provider to offer Google's most advanced AI model as a fully private, disconnected appliance.
Three of the biggest players in AI all made moves in the agent space over the last seven days. Anthropic launched Claude Managed Agents, a fully cloud-hosted agent platform. The very next day, LangChain responded with Deep Agents Deploy, explicitly positioned as the open alternative. And then OpenAI shipped the next evolution of the Agents SDK.
The problem is none of these announcements make sense in isolation. Each one is solving a different version of the same problem, at a different point on the build-to-buy spectrum.
The newly announced Thunderbolt is being sold as a front-end client for users and businesses who want to run their own self-hosted AI infrastructure without relying on cloud-based third-party services.
Thunderbolt is built on top of Haystack, an existing open source AI framework that lets users build custom, modular AI pipelines from user-chosen components. Thunderbolt acts as what Mozilla calls a “sovereign AI client” on top of that underlying infrastructure.
Anthropic is publicly releasing its most powerful large language model yet, Claude Opus 4.7, today — as it continues to keep an even more powerful successor, Mythos, restricted to a small number of external enterprise partners for cybersecurity testing and patching vulnerabilities in the software said enterprises use (which Mythos exposed rapidly).
The big headlines are that Opus 4.7 exceeds its most direct rivals — OpenAI's GPT-5.4, released in early March 2026, scarcely more than a month ago; and Google's latest flagship model Gemini 3.1 Pro from February — on key benchmarks including agentic coding, scaled tool-use, agentic computer use, and financial analysis.
Adobe today launched its most ambitious AI offensive to date, unveiling the Firefly AI Assistant — a new agentic creative tool that can orchestrate complex, multi-step workflows across the company's entire Creative Cloud suite from a single conversational interface — alongside a raft of new video, image, and collaboration features designed to position the company at the center of the rapidly evolving AI-powered content creation landscape.
We’re looking at what feels like an unofficial “Claude Code 2.0” release, with a completely redesigned desktop app that transforms the experience into something much closer to a full IDE.
What if you could get a Claude Code-level AI coding assistant for FREE running locally on your machine? In this video, I show you how to combine Gemma 4 with Ollama to build a powerful, privacy-first, local AI coding setup that behaves surprisingly close to Claude Code.
