This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis tackle AI agents from every angle. Nvidia released an open source safety platform just as OpenAI launched Dots, always-on agents with their own cloud computers and app integrations. Meta unveiled the Muse Charm, a palm-sized AI device. Anthropic's IPO prospectus revealed $518 billion in infrastructure commitments and extensive risk warnings. AMD announced an $8.2 billion acquisition of World Labs.

Also in this episode: Trump's "super intelligence" rebrand and a "morally binding" White House AI accord, the Googlebook launch and ChromeOS end of life, Manus 2.0's new architecture, Google paying publishers for AI Overviews, Gemini fully replacing Google Assistant on Android, and Project Suncatcher's plans for AI in space.
