Gemini Flash now has screen control built in; Anthropic accused Alibaba of 28.8M distillation calls. Adobe bought Topaz; ChatGPT long-paste went free.
Gemini 3.5 Flash now handles screen-control natively, no extra harness needed.
Six months ago, AI that could operate a browser meant flagship Pro pricing plus a complex agent-harness setup.
Gemini 3.5 Flash now has computer-control built into the model — click, type, scroll — no separate agent harness needed.
At Flash pricing, browser-automation PoCs become much more realistic. For personal hobby projects, the difference is negligible.
Free-tier unlock, acquisition, and distillation lawsuit all in one day.
Until last month, only Plus/Pro users had this protection; free-tier pastes expanded into the full conversation and could be unintentionally memorized.
Texts over 10,000 chars now attach as separate files instead of flooding the chat context — rolling out to Free and Go plans.
A quiet but real win for daily free users who paste in long docs or logs. Rarely matters if you paste shorter than a paragraph.
Firefly covered generation, but refining existing footage at high quality still meant reaching for a third-party tool like Topaz.
Adobe acquires Topaz Labs (super-resolution, denoising, frame-interpolation) — next: integrating into Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Lightroom.
Video post-pro teams already using Topaz will likely move into Adobe's ecosystem. Irrelevant for 3D and audio workflows.
Anthropic's ToS has always banned training rival models on Claude's output, but this is the first time they publicly named a specific company in violation.
