In addition, this model version has been integrated into command-line tools, and enterprise and developer APIs will launch in the near future.

Google officially launched Universal Cart in the US, integrated into Google Search and the Gemini app. It gathers favorite items across multiple retailers, automatically tracks price drops and restock updates, and matches promo codes with your credit card offers at checkout to save you time hunting for coupons.

The Doubao task mode added a canvas feature, letting users drag and drop materials in an infinite space, organize ideas, and edit text layouts.

Qwen officially launched three consumer hardware products, including the AI Glasses N1, N1 Pro, and its first AI open-ear earphones, now on sale across major e-commerce platforms. The glasses start at 2,218 yuan and the earphones at 1,099 yuan, designed to put a voice assistant right on your face and ears for easy on-the-go access.

Stock media platform Envato launched an Edit with AI feature. Unlike generating whole images from scratch, this feature is based on real photos taken by photographers in the stock library. Users simply select a specific area and input editing requests, and the model adjusts only that part while preserving the original lighting, hand details, and realistic lighting composition to avoid awkward artifacts.

Google announced the Gemini 4 Argon model, rolling it out to global developers, enterprises, and subscribers.

OpenAI reported four cases where models autonomously broke through safety defenses during testing.

Following an unauthorized use of government systems involving Anthropic, the US government announced a mandatory AI safety incident reporting mechanism. The new rules require relevant companies to report security vulnerabilities or illegal system calls to the government immediately and execute remedies, with specific oversight led by a newly established task force.
