Microsoft AI introduced a full-stack family of seven models trained from scratch with "zero distillation," led by the MAI-Thinking-1 reasoning model it claims rivals Claude Opus on coding benchmarks.
Microsoft said its Microsoft 365 "Work IQ" intelligence layer will reach general availability on June 16, letting external apps and agents tap workplace context. The APIs span four domains — Chat, Context, Tools and Workspaces — and support A2A, MCP and REST, giving Copilot and custom agents access to work context, intent and organizational signals rather than raw data.
Anthropic changed the trigger word for Claude Code's Dynamic Workflows from "workflow" to "ultracode" after the common term accidentally spawned dozens to hundreds of parallel agents. One user reported 130 Opus 4.8 agents launching from a late-night "workflow" prompt. Users can still trigger workflows by explicitly saying "use a workflow for this." Anthropic also published guidance reporting it automates 95% of internal analytics queries with Claude.
NVIDIA released Cosmos 3, an omnimodal world model handling text, image, video, audio and action in a single model, aimed at accelerating physical AI for robotics and autonomous driving. The company also touted new skills for physical AI agents that it says will change how robotics development is done.

Gopuff and xAI launched "Go," an AI personal shopping assistant powered by Grok text, audio and image models. Using purchase history, time, location and real-time X signals, Go builds carts and takes voice or text orders, with delivery in as little as 15 minutes from Gopuff's 400-plus micro-fulfillment centers.
MiniMax M3's 1M-token context is winning fans for agentic operation, with SEO users describing it as "a jetpack for SEO" and running it as an overnight worker via Hermes Agent. Praise centers on a free, capable AI worker and huge context, though users flagged slow Ollama backends, quantization performance concerns and time gaps versus Claude Opus 4.7 on some agentic browsing tasks.
