4 new AI tools worth trying
AI NEWS
Nvidia has launched Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, a ~30 billion parameter reasoning model designed to act as the ultra-fast "brains" for multimodal agentic applications.
The model uses a hybrid mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture that integrates vision and audio encoders directly into the system, completely eliminating the need for separate perception modules.
This unified approach allows the model to deliver up to 9x faster throughput than other open omni models currently on the market.
It's optimized for real-time agentic tasks, capable of rapidly interpreting live HD screen recordings, documents, and voice activity with extremely low latency.
Due to its smaller size, it can be compressed to run locally on high-end consumer hardware while also scaling efficiently for enterprise cloud deployments.
The model is available right now on Hugging Face, OpenRouter, and build.nvidia.com as an Nvidia NIM microservice.
For autonomous agents to be truly useful, they can't wait seconds to interpret what's on a screen or process a spoken command. By combining text, vision, and speech into a single, highly efficient 30B open model, Nvidia is solving the latency bottleneck. They are giving developers the exact tools needed to build fast, responsive, and locally runnable AI agents that can actually perceive and react to the environments they operate in.
AI NEWS
Anthropic has launched new creative connectors for Claude, allowing the AI to tap directly into apps like Adobe Creative Cloud, Affinity, Blender, and Ableton. This marks a major push into the creative industry following the recent launch of Claude Design.
The Adobe connector can pull from Photoshop, Premiere, and Express to manipulate images, videos, and designs directly within the Claude interface
The Blender integration gives the 3D app’s Python API a natural-language interface, allowing users to debug scenes, build tools, and batch-apply object changes via chat
The Ableton connector allows Claude to source information and answer complex queries directly from the music software’s official documentation
Anthropic is also throwing its financial weight behind the open-source community, becoming a Corporate Patron of the Blender Development Fund to help keep the software free
By connecting large language models directly to the APIs of heavy-duty creative software, Anthropic is pushing the vibe coding movement into the visual and audio arts. Instead of wrestling with complex menus or writing manual scripts, users can now leverage natural language to automate repetitive tasks, build custom tools, and accelerate production workflows across both proprietary and open-source ecosystems.
AI NEWS
AWS has officially rolled out the desktop app for Amazon Quick, its new autonomous AI assistant that runs locally on your machine and connects directly to your applications, files, and data without the need for an AWS account.
Deep Integration: It connects seamlessly to Google Workspace, Zoom, Microsoft 365, Slack, Salesforce, and local files, building a personal knowledge graph across all your scattered workflows.
Proactive Automation: Quick runs continuously in the background. It monitors context across apps, flags urgent items before you notice them, drafts emails using past Slack contexts, and creates custom presentations or dashboards directly from chat.
Agentic Capabilities: Quick can run local Python scripts, automate browser workflows, and connect to developer tools like Kiro CLI and Claude Code, allowing users to build custom intelligent apps via natural language.
Enterprise-Grade Security: The system uses AWS’s proven security infrastructure. Crucially, your data never leaves your control or trains someone else’s models.
Amazon is officially joining the race to own the "last mile" of enterprise AI. By dropping Quick natively onto the desktop with deep hooks into all major productivity suites, and pairing it with an expanded partnership bringing OpenAI's frontier models to Amazon Bedrock, AWS is aggressively positioning itself not just as a cloud provider, but as the central orchestration layer for agentic work.
HOW TO AI
🗂️ How to Find Expert Talent Directly Within ChatGPT
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the official Upwork app for ChatGPT to discover top-tier freelancers and draft professional job posts without ever leaving your chat interface.
🧰 Who is This For
Startup founders hiring fast without recruiters
Indie hackers building teams on a budget
Product managers looking for niche experts
Developers needing quick help or collaborators
STEP 1: Connect the Upwork App
Sign in to your ChatGPT account and navigate to the Settings menu in the bottom-left corner. Select Apps and click on Browse the app directory. Search for "Upwork" and click Connect. You will be asked to give consent to link the two platforms. Once confirmed, the Upwork app is ready to use in any of your conversations.
STEP 2: Discover Top-Tier Freelancers
To search the marketplace of 18 million professionals, use the @Upwork mention in your prompt. For example, type: "@Upwork I need a freelance designer for a startup pitch deck." ChatGPT will return a curated list of professionals with high reputation signals, specifically those with a Job Success Score of 90% or higher and relevant skills. You’ll see brief profile summaries and links to view their full Upwork portfolios.
STEP 3: Draft an Automated Job Post
Instead of writing a job description from scratch, you can let the AI handle the heavy lifting. Type "@Upwork start a job post" and describe the project in plain English. You can even paste in raw notes or share a Google Doc link. The app will instantly generate a structured Job Title and Description. If it isn’t perfect, just chat with it, try saying, "Make the tone more professional" or "Add React as a required skill."
STEP 4: Finalize and Publish on Upwork
Once you are happy with the draft in ChatGPT, click the Finalize on Upwork.com button. You will be redirected to the Upwork platform where your title and description will be pre-filled. Here, you can finish the last-mile details like setting your budget, project timeline, and specific screening questions. Review the final post and hit Publish to start receiving proposals from the talent you just discovered.
OpenAI's Codex instruction set contains a line, repeated several times, that forbids Codex from randomly mentioning goblins, gremlins, and other creatures.
Amazon and OpenAI announce an expanded deal that will make OpenAI's models available from AWS, a day after OpenAI revised its Microsoft partnership.
Microsoft is rolling out Copilot 365 to all of Accenture's roughly 743,000 employees, in the biggest enterprise deal for Copilot, following a 2023 pilot.
OpenAI missed an internal goal of reaching 1B weekly active ChatGPT users by 2025's end and missed multiple monthly revenue targets earlier in 2026.
