THROUGH THE VALLEY
Anthropic has released Claude Sonnet 4.6, a new model aimed at autonomous work inside companies. It supports up to a 1 million token context window in beta, though the full window is currently limited to API users. Sonnet 4.6 can use computers to navigate apps and handle multi-step workflows, with improved safety against prompt injection. Anthropic says it shows lower hallucination and sycophancy rates than earlier versions, helped by a new web research system that filters data before it reaches the model. Early developers report better instruction-following than Sonnet 4.5, with strong benchmark results against Gemini 3 Pro and GPT-5.2, while remaining cheaper to run.
Apple is reportedly developing three new AI wearables as it tries to keep pace with rivals pushing smart devices. One is an AI-powered pin, similar in size to an AirTag, with built-in cameras that could clip onto clothing. The company is also speeding up work on AI smart glasses, code-named N50, which may enter production as early as December, ahead of a public launch around 2027. Apple is also said to be adding new AI features to AirPods. All three products would connect to the iPhone and rely heavily on Siri, with the glasses positioned as the most advanced option.
A new trailer is out for The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, a documentary that follows filmmaker Daniel Roher as he tries to understand the impact of AI. The film features conversations with Sam Altman and Anthropic leaders Dario and Daniela Amodei, alongside other researchers and industry figures. It looks at both the risks and the potential benefits of AI, framed through personal and societal questions about the future. The project comes from the Oscar-winning team behind Everything Everywhere All at Once and Navalny and is set to release in theaters on March 27.
A developer on X claims to have built an autonomous AI system that can earn money, pay for its own computing, improve its tools, and even copy itself without human approval. The system runs on new infrastructure called Conway, which gives AI agents wallets, servers, and the ability to deploy services, register domains, and charge users. The idea is that an agent can be funded once, then operate on its own by selling services and reinvesting profits to create new versions of itself. Supporters see this as the start of a “machine economy,” while critics warn it raises serious safety, security, and control risks.
