Starting today, new sessions on Pro, Max, and Team run in auto mode. Instead of asking at every step, a classifier checks each action – and only blocks what turns dangerous.

Three weeks after 3.6 Flash, Google sends its next model for coding and agents into the ring. It's said to beat comparable models from Anthropic and OpenAI on nine benchmarks – at half the price.
OpenAI gives an early look at a new service tier that runs GPT-5.6 Sol up to 14 times faster. Not a new model, just raw speed – powered by Cerebras chips.
60 subagents, 650 ideas, 31 million tokens — and a genuine step forward on a 150-year-old math problem. It's not solved, but the story behind it is the good part.
