OpenAI is putting a Data agent inside ChatGPT Work so more employees can query warehouse data, build dashboards, and act — without waiting on an analyst queue.
NVIDIA’s BioNeMo Inference Runtime is turning proteome-scale folding from a hero run into a throughput problem — with measured gains on Boltz-2 and a path into Ray-scaled GPU replicas.
Meta’s new Muse agent can clear mail and buy tank tops — and it also recited Instagram interests the reviewer couldn’t see in the app’s own ad-topics UI.
