OpenAI launched ChatGPT Agent on July 17, 2025, turning ChatGPT into a personal AI assistant capable of autonomously handling multi-step tasks. The agent uses a built-in “virtual computer” to browse the web, fill forms, run code, and produce Excel spreadsheets or PowerPoint presentations on the user’s behalf. It can manage schedules and plans by checking…

In April 2025, Roche’s Ventana TROP2 (EPR20043) RxDx test became the first AI-powered diagnostic to receive FDA Breakthrough Device Designation. The device pairs an immunohistochemistry stain for TROP2 with a digital pathology AI algorithm that runs in Roche’s Navify system to analyze NSCLC biopsy slides. The AI calculates a Normalized Membrane Ratio (NMR), the ratio…

In May 2025, Prime Intellect unveiled INTELLECT-2, a 32B-parameter LLM trained on a globally distributed swarm of volunteer GPUs. INTELLECT-2 is the first model of its scale trained via fully asynchronous reinforcement learning across hundreds of heterogeneous, permissionless machines on chakra.dev. PRIME-RL coordinates the training loop by separating experience generation on inference workers from policy…

NLWeb is an open protocol unveiled by Microsoft at Build 2025 to put ChatGPT-like conversational interfaces on websites. NLWeb works by indexing a site’s content using HTML, RSS feeds, and Schema.org metadata and exposing it to AI models via a standard JSON over REST API with a core ask method. The system is model-agnostic and…

MoM was released in May 2025 as a linear-attention sequence model that preserves long-term context without forgetting. MoM breaks the single-memory bottleneck by maintaining multiple independent memory states and using a token router to assign information to memory slots. A trained router assigns each token to the top-k most relevant memory modules, with typical settings…
