The AI device OpenAI is developing with former Apple designer Jony Ive is "essentially a smart speaker without a display" that's battery-powered, doughnut-shaped and roughly the size of a hockey puck, according to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman. The device, expected to launch in 2027 for a price over $300, reportedly "will have a unique look, complete with moving parts," including some that will move on their own to show when the device is responding or interacting with the user, along with lights, a camera system, and other sensors. Gurman's sources also say the "battery-powered" device is designed to be "easy to carry around the home wit … Read the full story at The Verge.

While Google says the launch brings it closer to "physical AGI," safety and real-world deployment remain significant hurdles.
There are a few reasons AI providers are doing this. First, much of the industry is heavily reliant on Nvidia for the hardware the companies’ models run on, and Nvidia’s continued leverage there is a potential strategic…

Cloudflare has released Kitesurf, a stateless web browser built specifically for AI agents that runs entirely in V8 isolates on Cloudflare Workers, with no Chromium underneath. The browser drops human-facing features like tabs and extensions in favor of what agents need: machine-readable content, scalability, and isolation. Built in 12 weeks using Rust components like Blitz, Stylo, and Boa JS, it already passes 215,000+ Web Platform Tests. Benchmarks show 3.1–3.8× less CPU and 4.7–7.0× less memory than Chromium on screenshots and HTML extraction. Existing Puppeteer, Playwright, and MCP clients work by adding a single browser=kitesurf parameter, free while in beta. The post Cloudflare Introduces Kitesurf: An Agent-First Web Browser That Runs Entirely in V8 Isolates on Cloudflare Workers ap…
On 11 July, Hugging Face was subjected to an intense cyberattack from a then-unknown actor. The speed and coordination of the attack on the company that hosts and supports popular AI developer resources led Hugging Face’s security team to conclude it was the work of an AI agent. Realizing this, the team tried to use “frontier models behind commercial APIs”—presumably from Anthropic and OpenAI, although only Anthropic was named in the second of the company’s two posts about the security incident—to analyze the onslaught. These models refused to help due to safety guardrails the AI labs have implemented to make their models harder to use for cyberattacks. Hugging Face instead turned to GLM 5.2, a model from Beijing-based AI lab Z.ai, to aid its analysis. On 21 July, OpenAI announced the att…

Release: datasette 1.0a38 This release fixes a SQL injection security issue that affects Datasette instances that serve a mixture of public and private tables in the same database, with access configured using the Datasette permissions system. Site administrators who serve private tables in this way are advised to disable the execute-sql permission ` on that database to prevent users from accessing private tables using raw SQL queries. The bug that has been fixed would have allowed users with access to any public table to execute SQL injection attacks despite that restriction, giving them read-only access to data in private tables in the same database. This fix is also available in Datasette 0.65.3. Thankfully this particular configuration - private tables and public tables exposed for th…

Simon Willison on Technical Blogging I was interviewed by Cynthia Dunlop for her "Write that blog!" series back in January, but I just realized I never linked to the interview from my own blog! It includes my answers to the following questions: Why did you start blogging – and why do you continue? What has been the most surprising impact of blogging for you? What blog post are you most proud of and why? What post was the most difficult to write and how did you tackle it? Any lessons learned that you want to share with the community? Your advice for people just getting started with blogging? A few blogs that you particularly enjoy? I'll repeat my most important piece of advice here: My number one tip for blogging is to lower your standards! Aim to hit publish while you are still actively u…
