In het kort
Replit introduceerde nieuwe functies zoals een gratis modus en verbeterde agent-conversaties. Alibaba bracht het 27B multimodale model Qwen 3.8 uit, terwijl OpenAI de prijzen voor GPT-5.6 Sol verlaagde. Daarnaast zijn er nieuwe tools verschenen voor MCP-workflowbeheer en is er aanzienlijk kapitaal opgehaald door AI-startups zoals Etched en Starcloud. Google lanceerde tevens het snelle Gemini 3.7 Flash-model voor enterprise-toepassingen.
