Google launched new agentic capabilities in AI Mode that can actually complete tasks for users, starting with finding and booking restaurant reservations across platforms like OpenTable, Resy, and Tock. The AI handles complex requests with multiple constraints like party size, date, time, and cuisine preferences, then searches across platforms to present curated options with direct booking links. The feature uses live web browsing from Project Mariner and Google's Knowledge Graph, rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S. with plans to expand to appointments and event tickets.

Anthropic is in advanced talks to raise up to $10 billion in what would be one of the largest AI funding rounds ever, with the amount increased from $5 billion due to overwhelming investor demand. The funding round, led by Iconiq Capital, would value the OpenAI competitor at $170 billion, nearly tripling its $61.5 billion valuation from March. The massive funding reflects intense competition for top AI companies, with Anthropic's Claude gaining traction in business applications and the company exploring partnerships with Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds.

Google announced a new AI-powered personal health coach built with Gemini that combines fitness training, sleep coaching, and wellness advice, coming to Fitbit Premium in October. The AI coach learns user preferences and incorporates real-time metrics from Fitbit or Pixel Watch devices to create personalized fitness plans that adapt based on daily readiness scores and life circumstances. Users can chat with the coach about goals and equipment to receive custom workout routines, with the system automatically adjusting plans for injuries or low sleep scores.

Hundreds of thousands of private conversations with Elon Musk's xAI chatbot Grok have become searchable on Google due to shared conversation URLs being automatically indexed by search engines. The leaked conversations include requests for illegal activities like hacking crypto wallets, bomb-making instructions, fentanyl production, and even assassination plans targeting Elon Musk himself. This privacy breach follows similar incidents with Meta's and OpenAI's chatbots, despite Musk previously claiming Grok prioritized privacy when criticizing ChatGPT's indexing issues.

Anthropic established a Higher Education Advisory Board led by former Yale president Rick Levin to guide how Claude serves teaching and research while ensuring AI strengthens critical thinking skills. The board includes distinguished academic leaders from Rice, Michigan, UT Austin, Stanford, and Complete College America, bringing expertise in university leadership and educational technology. Alongside the advisory board, Anthropic launched three AI Fluency courses under Creative Commons license for educators, students, and those teaching AI literacy on campuses.

OpenAI is seeking court orders to force Meta to produce evidence about potential coordination with Elon Musk regarding his unsolicited $97 billion takeover bid for OpenAI in February, which was unanimously rejected. Court filings reveal OpenAI lawyers discovered communications between Musk and Mark Zuckerberg about the bid, including discussions about "potential financing arrangements," leading to a subpoena of Meta. The legal discovery comes amid Musk's lawsuit challenging OpenAI's for-profit conversion, while Meta has intensified AI competition by poaching key OpenAI researchers and investing heavily in its own development.
