AI infrastructure and macOS productivity tools lead today's launches.
Siteline — AI agent analytics for your website
Track what AI agents do on your site — which pages they visit, what data they extract, and how they interact. See your site through the lens of GPT, Claude, and Perplexity.
TypeBoost — macOS AI writing toolkit
System-wide AI writing assistant for Mac. Works in any text field — rewrite, translate, fix grammar, expand. Floating toolbar appears wherever you type. One-time purchase, runs locally.
Seagull — Real-time translation overlay
Translucent overlay that translates text on screen in real time. Works with video calls, live streams, games, any app. 100+ languages, runs locally. Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Callio — Unified API gateway for AI agents
Single gateway for AI agents to call any API. MCP-compatible, automatic rate limiting, auth management. Connect Claude Code or Cursor to your internal tools through one endpoint.
SkillForge — Turn screen recordings into agent skills
Record yourself doing a task, and SkillForge converts it into a reusable AI agent skill. The agent watches your workflow and learns to replicate it. For repetitive browser-based tasks.

Anthropic drops a bombshell accusing Chinese AI labs of industrial-scale model theft, IBM takes a massive hit from Claude Code's COBOL capabilities, and OpenAI abandons its own benchmark.
Anthropic reveals 24,000+ fake accounts and 16M+ exchanges used to systematically extract Claude's capabilities. Three Chinese labs named — DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax.
Evidence shows coordinated model distillation at industrial scale. The report drops as Congress debates AI chip export policy — timing that hasn't gone unnoticed.
Claude Code COBOL tool tanks IBM stock 13% — biggest drop since 2000
Anthropic's Claude Code COBOL modernization capabilities triggered IBM's worst single-day loss in 25 years. Analysts note IBM's $4B+/year mainframe services revenue is directly threatened by AI-automated COBOL migration.
OpenAI drops SWE-Bench Verified — 16.4% of test cases are flawed
OpenAI publishes detailed analysis showing SWE-Bench Verified has serious quality issues. All frontier models show evidence of data leakage. OpenAI will no longer use it for evaluations — another blow to the benchmark landscape.
Big Tech to invest $650B in AI this year — Bridgewater
Bridgewater Associates estimates combined AI spend from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta will reach $650B in 2026, up from $410B in 2025. Co-CIO Greg Jensen warns the AI boom has entered a "more dangerous phase."
Quick hits — local models, benchmarks, and hardware.

A security wake-up call for self-hosted *arr stacks, plus Mac utilities and self-hosted tools.
Community discovers that Huntarr, a popular *arr stack automation tool, was broadcasting Sonarr/Radarr API keys and passwords in plaintext to anyone on the network.
The tool was entirely "vibe-coded" — AI-generated without security review. GitHub repo since taken down. A cautionary tale for self-hosted AI-generated software.
