THROUGH THE VALLEY

1/ Nvidia unveils first PCs built for AI agents

Nvidia has unveiled a new generation of PCs designed specifically for AI agents, marking a shift beyond traditional chatbot use. The company introduced its new RTX Spark chip, which will power laptops from Dell, Lenovo, HP, Asus, MSI, and others, with more than 40 models already planned. Nvidia says the systems are designed for developers, creators, and gamers, with enough power to run AI agents directly on the device. Rather than sending every task to the cloud, users will be able to run and control AI agents locally from their own PCs.

2/ Anthropic has officially filed to go public

Anthropic has confidentially filed for an IPO, putting the Claude maker on track to go public as early as this fall. The move comes months after the company raised funding at a $965 billion valuation and reported a revenue run rate of more than $47 billion. Founded by former OpenAI employees in 2021, Anthropic has quickly grown into one of the biggest players in AI, fueled by products like Claude Code and its expanding enterprise business. Just four years after launch, the company is preparing for what could become one of the largest tech IPOs in history.

3/ GPT-5.6 could be OpenAI’s biggest model launch of the year

OpenAI is reportedly preparing to launch GPT-5.6 this week alongside major upgrades to Codex, its AI coding platform. While the company has not confirmed the details, leaks suggest improvements across reasoning, coding, frontend generation, personality, and long-running agent workflows. Some reports claim GPT-5.6 delivers performance close to Anthropic’s Mythos models while costing significantly less to run, potentially making advanced AI agents much cheaper to deploy. Several insiders have even suggested the upgrade is significant enough that it could have been released as GPT-6.

4/ OpenAI Codex can now control Windows PCs on its own

OpenAI has expanded Codex with support for Windows 11, allowing the AI to directly operate desktop apps, files, and system tools. The update enables Codex to handle multi-step tasks such as software testing, bug fixing, and workflow automation with minimal supervision. Users can control apps through simple instructions, while tasks can be started and monitored remotely from the ChatGPT app on iPhone and Android. Instead of simply writing code, Codex is starting to use computers the same way a human employee would.
