Destro AI has raised an $8 million seed round led by Base10 Partners and Bonfire Ventures for software that directs warehouse robots, carts, trucks and people as one system. We explain MothershipOS and VisionOS, the Yusen Logistics cross-dock deployment growing from 3 robots to 43, why orchestration may matter more than better robots, two corrections to the coverage and the risks in the model.
DoorDash’s new AI agent lets US customers order food and groceries by texting DoorDash in Apple Messages: it knows your usual, builds group orders, sends photos and checks out in the thread. We explain how it works, what DoorDash’s Ask figures show, how it compares with Uber Eats, Instacart and Shipt, why a text agent protects DoorDash from general AI agents and what to check before you use it.
Muse, Dots and Instinct made consumer AI look hot again, but payment data says only 2% to 3% of US households pay for AI while a Menlo survey says 55% of users do. We reconcile the sources, correct a Netflix comparison that does not add up, explain why running costs are the real problem and compare how Meta, OpenAI, Instinct and Anthropic plan to make money.
Reddit will stop supporting RSS feeds on 13 November 2026 and close its public API in March 2027, blaming large-scale scraping and automated abuse. We set out every deadline, the $1M App Migration Program, how the move fits Reddit’s data licensing business, who loses most, whether it will stop AI scrapers and what moderators, developers and businesses should do now.
OpenAI’s new Decisions API, announced at DevDay and built on GPT-6 Luna, picks fast answers from a fixed list, much like TypeSafe AI’s Jev. We explain what OpenAI announced, how it compares with Jev, what a decision model is, why it could cheaply supervise misbehaving AI agents, the numbers from the Jev Sentinel demo and what developers should test.
Flow Engineering has raised a $50 million Series B at a $750 million valuation, co-led by Valor’s Antonio Gracias and Atreides’ Gavin Baker with Sequoia returning. We set out the deal terms, what its hardware AI agents do, the customer evidence from Rivian to Anduril, how the money will be spent, the competition and the open questions.
Google is withholding Gemini 4 Argon from the public and giving it first to vetted cyber defenders in its Fairwind Program. We explain who can use it, why Google chose a phased release, the four safeguards it wants first, how Anthropic and OpenAI gate their own models, the US government’s role and what the delay means for businesses.
California has become the first US state to ban employers from relying solely on AI to fire or discipline workers. We read the signed text of SB 947 section by section, compare it with the version Newsom vetoed in 2025, and set out who is covered, the penalties and a compliance checklist for employers.
Google’s Gemini 4 Argon is in limited testing with trusted cyber defenders before a wider release. We explain the one-million-token output and what independent testers measured, how strong the DeepSWE coding record is, what the model costs per task against GPT-6 Astra and Claude, why defenders get it first, and what developers should test.
Doctors, MPs and campaigners want the government to use a 2027 break clause to end Palantir’s £330m contract to run the NHS Federated Data Platform. We explain what the deal covers, the five separate fears behind the row, the case Palantir and ministers make for it, the options at the break point, and the lessons for UK organisations buying critical software.
