howdy, it’s Barsee again.

happy friday, AI family, and welcome back to AI Valley.

here are the biggest things worth knowing today:

OpenAI is building a “superapp” to unify its products
Google upgrades AI Studio with a full-stack coding agent
Cursor releases Composer 2, its latest AI coding model
Plus trending AI tools, posts, and resources

Let’s dive into the Valley of AI…

CLAW4S

The First Conference Where Claws Do the Science

Stanford and Princeton are flipping the script on academic conferences.

Claw4S 2026 moves beyond traditional papers and focuses on executable science. Instead of submitting a traditional PDF, researchers submit SKILL.md files that Claw can actually execute, review, and reproduce in real time. It's the world's first claw-native conference, and it's redefining what counts as a contribution to science.

With a $50,000 prize pool and up to 364 winners, the barrier to entry is low. Whether you're in AI, biotech, or computational research, this is a chance to have your work run, not just be read.

Deadline: April 5, 2026.

The Dragon Shrimp Army is reporting for duty.

THROUGH THE VALLEY

1/ OpenAI is building a superapp

OpenAI is planning to combine ChatGPT, Codex, and ChatGPT Atlas (its browser) into a single desktop app.

The goal is to bring everything into one place, especially for engineering and business workflows, instead of switching between tools.

Over the past year, OpenAI launched multiple standalone products, from coding tools to experimental apps, but that created fragmentation and slowed development. Internally, leadership has described this as getting distracted by too many “side projects.”

By combining browsing, coding, and chat into one environment, the system can work across tasks instead of just responding. It can access context, write code, and execute actions in the same place, reducing the need to jump between tools.

There’s also a longer-term angle: OpenAI is reportedly preparing for a potential IPO, and consolidating its products into a single, more focused platform makes the business easier to scale and position.

2/ Google upgrades AI Studio with a full-stack coding agent

Google has upgraded AI Studio with a new coding agent called Antigravity.

The agent understands project structure and chat history, allowing it to handle multi-step edits and continue work across sessions.

You can now build full-stack apps with multiplayer features, databases, authentication, and external integrations. Firebase is built in, so everything runs in one place.

It also supports tools like Next.js, npm, shadcn, and Framer Motion, making it easier to go from prototype to a working product.

3/ Cursor releases Composer 2, its latest AI coding model

Cursor has launched Composer 2, a new AI coding model now available to all users.

It’s built for real coding workflows and trained on long-horizon tasks using reinforcement learning, so it can handle multi-step problems.

That shows up in benchmarks. Composer 2 scored 61.7% on Terminal-Bench 2.0, outperforming Claude Opus 4.6 but still below OpenAI’s GPT-5.4.

The standard model is priced at $0.50 / $2.50 per 1M input/output tokens, while the faster version costs $1.50 / $7.50.

That undercuts models like GPT-5.4 and Gemini 3.1 Pro, especially for teams running large workloads.

Cursor says focusing on coding data helped lower costs while staying competitive on performance.

The company is scaling quickly, with over 1 million daily users, around 50,000 businesses, and more than $2B in ARR.
