- Qwen3.7-Plus is Alibaba's bid to turn multimodal AI into a full-blown autonomous agent
Alibaba's Qwen team has released Qwen3.7-Plus, a multimodal agent model that combines visual perception, GUI operation, and coding in a single agent loop. In a demo, an agent built on the model autonomously developed a vocabulary learning app, producing over 10,000 lines of code across 1,000 agent calls over eleven hours. The model leads on-screen understanding in Qwen's own benchmarks, but overall performance is mixed. Qwen3.7-Plus is a proprietary offering with no open weights, priced well below Western frontier models.

- Anthropic Refused to Let the Pentagon Spy on Americans. It Got Blacklisted.
For anyone who wonders whether AI safety promises mean anything: what one company refused to sign, what its rival signed instead, and the fine print that may quietly undo all of it. Made by Author. On February 27, the U.S. government did something to an American company that it normally reserves for foreign adversaries like Huawei. It designated Anthropic, the maker of the Claude AI assistant, a supply-chain risk to national security. It barred every military contractor and supplier from doing business with it. President Trump ordered all federal agencies to stop using the company’s technology. Anthropic had not leaked secrets or planted a backdoor. Its offense was refusing to let its AI be used to spy on Americans. That is the part that should stop you. Because it inverts the entire way we have been taught to think about AI risk. For two years, the worry has been that AI companies would be too reckless. Too eager. Too willing to deploy powerful systems without guardrails. Here, a company was punished by its own government for insisting on guardrails. And the company that stepped into its place did so with contract language that may not hold the line at all. The Two Red Lines Anthropic Wouldn’t Sign Away The dispute, reported by Reuters and detailed in a Congressional research summary, was not abstract. The Department of Defense, now operating under the secondary name Department of War, wanted its AI vendors to agree to broad “any lawful use” terms for their models. Anthropic would not. By the company’s own account, and in a statement from CEO Dario Amodei, it insisted on two explicit red lines written into the contract. Its AI could not be used for the mass domestic surveillance of Americans. And it could not be used to power fully autonomous weapons that kill without a human in the decision. Amodei said the company could not in good conscience accept terms that left those uses open. This was not a publicity stunt from a fringe lab. Anthropic was the first frontier AI company cleared to run on the military’s classified networks, deployed through a partnership with Palantir. By its own description, Claude had become the most widely used AI model across the Department of War and other national security agencies. The company reportedly projected eighteen billion dollars in revenue this year. It had every commercial reason to sign. It refused anyway. The Huawei Label, Turned on an American Company The response was swift, and by the standard of how Washington treats domestic firms, extraordinary. The Secretary of Defense accused Anthropic of trying to seize veto power over military operations, and called its position fundamentally incompatible with American principles. The supply-chain risk designation is the kind of label normally aimed at Chinese hardware makers. It meant that no contractor, supplier, or partner doing business with the U.S. military could deal with Anthropic. They had a window of up to six months to rip its products out of their systems. Sit with the logic. Made by Author. A company said it would not help conduct warrantless surveillance of citizens, or build weapons that choose their own targets. The government’s answer was to treat that refusal as a threat to national security. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which followed the dispute closely, called the move what it looked like: First Amendment retaliation. Punishing a company for bringing public scrutiny to the government’s own contracting demands. Hours Later, OpenAI Took the Contract Then came the part that turned a principled stand into a cautionary tale. In the final hours before the Pentagon’s deadline, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman publicly said he agreed with Amodei. That he shared the same red lines on surveillance and autonomous weapons. Within hours, OpenAI announced its own contract with the Department of War to deploy its models on classified networks. It stepped directly into the gap Anthropic had just left. As CNN reported, the timing struck many inside and outside the company as opportunistic. Altman himself later acknowledged that the rollout looked that way. OpenAI insisted its deal carried the same protections Anthropic had fought for, achieved through different contractual mechanisms. A cloud-only deployment. Its own safety researchers kept in the loop. Stated prohibitions on domestic surveillance and autonomous lethal force. On its face, that sounds like a reasonable middle path. The problem is in the wording. “Applicable Law,” and the Door It Reopens Read the language closely, as a number of observers did the moment OpenAI published its terms, and the gap appears. Anthropic had demanded that the prohibitions be written as hard, explicit bans. OpenAI’s commitments, by the company’s own explanation, are framed around what is permissible under applicable law. The reasoning: because laws can change, tying the red lines to the law protects against future shifts. That framing is doing enormous quiet work. A hard ban says: we will not do this, full stop. A commitment tethered to applicable law says: we will not do this unless the law permits it. And the law, in this domain, is not fixed. It can be reshaped by an executive order, a classified legal opinion, or a court ruling that arrives years too late to matter. Made by Author. The difference between the two positions is not a matter of tone. It is the difference between a promise that binds when tested, and a promise that dissolves the moment the legal ground shifts. One company wanted the wall built into the contract. The other left a door, and labeled it a window. The Electronic Frontier Foundation made the same point in an analysis it titled “Weasel Words.” Technical assurances, it argued, are no substitute for strong, enforceable legal limits. Caitlin Kalinowski Quit Over the Clause If the contract language were as airtight as OpenAI claimed, you would not expect the people who built the company’s hardware to walk out over it. One did. Caitlin Kalinowski, who had led OpenAI’s hardware and robotics efforts since late 2024, resigned, and said so publicly. Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight, she wrote, and lethal autonomy without human authorization, were lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. She framed it as a matter of principle, not personnel, and said she still respected her colleagues. A resignation is the most expensive form of disagreement an employee has. When someone leaves over the wording of a deal that leadership insists is responsible, it is worth taking seriously. It is evidence that the people closest to it did not believe the reassurance. “Someone Will Build It Anyway” Is the Oldest Excuse The other side of this deserves a fair hearing, because it is not empty. The national security argument is real. Advanced AI is going to be used by militaries whether or not any particular company participates. It is genuinely better for a safety-focused firm to be in the room, shaping how the technology is deployed, than to cede that ground to vendors who care less. OpenAI’s cloud-only architecture and human-in-the-loop commitments are meaningful safeguards, not nothing. And “applicable law” is, defenders would say, simple legal realism. No private contract can override a lawful government order anyway, so pretending otherwise is theater. Each of those points has weight. Together, they still do not close the gap. The claim that someone will do it anyway is the oldest justification for abandoning a line, and it proves too much. It would excuse almost any compromise. The safeguards are only as durable as the clause that governs them, and that clause bends to whatever the law becomes. And the legal-realism defense quietly concedes the whole point. If the protections evaporate the moment an executive order redefines what is lawful, then they were never protections against the thing people actually fear. The deeper problem is the incentive the episode sets. The company that drew a hard line was blacklisted. The company that left itself an exit was rewarded with the contract. Every AI lab watching just learned what refusing costs, and what flexibility earns. The Lawsuit That Tests Whether a Company Can Say No Anthropic has not gone quietly. In March it filed suit, challenging the designation as unconstitutional retaliation. The case will test whether a government can punish a company for the content of its own safety commitments. Watch that, because the answer shapes how much room any AI company will have to say no in the future. Watch, too, whether the “applicable law” framing spreads to other defense contracts as standard language. Because if it does, the public version of every AI safety promise will come with an invisible asterisk. The lesson here is not that one company is virtuous and another villainous. It is narrower, and more uncomfortable than that. Made by Author. A safety commitment is only worth the conditions attached to it. And the conditions are usually written where no one reads. The question that matters is no longer which AI is the most capable. It is whether “we won’t do this” can survive a government with the power to change what “this” is allowed to mean. And whether the only companies willing to find out will keep getting treated as the threat. Anthropic Refused to Let the Pentagon Spy on Americans.

At Build 2026, Microsoft repositioned Windows around AI agents that act on your behalf instead of waiting for a click. The phrase “AI operating system” is suddenly everywhere, attached to everything. This is what it really means, what Microsoft actually shipped, and how to tell the real thing from the marketing. On June 2 at its Build conference in San Francisco, Microsoft told a room of developers that the era of passive AI assistance is over. The line that traveled, from CEO Satya Nadella, was that agents are not just a feature, they are the new operating system for work. Strip away the keynote polish and the claim underneath is genuinely big: Microsoft is rebuilding Windows so that AI agents can plan, remember, and take actions for you, rather than just answer questions in a chat box. That is the clearest sign yet of a phrase you are going to see constantly from here on: the “AI operating system,” also called an agentic OS. It is being attached to everything right now, from Microsoft’s Windows overhaul down to small startups slapping the label on what is really just a chatbot. So it is worth understanding what the term actually means, what Microsoft genuinely announced, and crucially, how to tell the real thing from the marketing, because a lot of what gets called an AI operating system is not one. The one-sentence version An AI operating system is software where AI agents take actions on your behalf, instead of only responding to your prompts. That is the whole idea, and the key word is actions. For the last couple of years, the AI on your computer could talk. You asked it something, it answered. An agentic OS is the shift from talking to doing: the AI can now open files, send messages, run tasks, fill out forms, and complete multi-step jobs that used to require a person clicking through them. The simplest way to hold the distinction in your head: a chatbot answers questions from you, an agent does things for you. An AI operating system is the layer that lets a whole set of those agents run, remember what they are doing, and act across your apps and data. The reason it is called an operating system is the analogy to the one you already use. A traditional operating system, like Windows or macOS, does not do your work for you. It manages resources, routes tasks to the right programs, keeps track of state, and lets applications talk to each other. An AI operating system does the same job, but for AI agents instead of regular programs. It manages which agent handles what, keeps their memory and context, connects them to your tools and data, and coordinates them so they work together instead of as a pile of disconnected bots. That coordination layer is the actual thing the term points to. What Microsoft actually shipped at Build 2026 The news peg matters here, because Microsoft’s announcement is the most concrete, large-scale example of this idea going mainstream. Cutting through the keynote, here is what they actually put on the table. They open-sourced the Microsoft Agent Framework under a permissive MIT license, with developer kits for Python and .NET. This is the runtime, the plumbing, for building and running multi-agent workflows, and it bundles the unglamorous but essential pieces those agents need to work in production: state, memory, and governance. Open-sourcing it is a real signal, because it lowers the barrier for developers to build agents that run natively on Windows rather than trapped inside a browser tab. They gave Office an Agent Mode. Microsoft 365 Copilot, the AI built into Word, Excel, Teams, and Outlook, is gaining persistent agents that can carry out tasks across those apps rather than just answering questions in a sidebar, rolling out to subscribers later in June. This is the part most ordinary office workers will actually feel first. They made Copilot multi-model. Rather than being tied to one underlying AI, Copilot now routes work across models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and open-source providers, choosing per task and configurable by the organization. That is a quiet but important shift, because it treats the model as a swappable component rather than the whole product. They pushed GitHub Copilot from autocomplete toward an autonomous coding agent that can build apps, run shell commands, and execute multi-step workflows, and they put on-device agent capabilities into Windows for PCs with the right hardware, with Azure AI Foundry serving as the enterprise control tower for orchestrating agents at scale. Add it up and the picture is consistent. Microsoft is not shipping one new chatbot. It is rebuilding the whole platform, from the operating system to Office to the developer tools, around agents that take action. That is what makes “Windows as an AI operating system” more than a slogan in this particular case. The catch: most things called an “AI operating system” are not one Here is the part that will save you from a lot of marketing. Because the term is hot, it is being slapped on products that do not deserve it, and the gap between the label and the reality is wide. Industry analysts have been blunt about this. The common move is rebranding a chatbot, a simple automation, or a basic assistant as an “agent” or an “agentic OS” without adding any real autonomy underneath. A useful frame that has emerged splits these tools into tiers: plain chatbots that only respond, simple assistants that do one narrow scripted thing, and genuinely advanced agents that can reason, plan, and act across multiple steps. The uncomfortable truth is that most products marketed as agents today sit in the first two tiers. They have borrowed the vocabulary of the third. So how do you tell a real AI operating system from a chatbot wearing the label? A few concrete tests cut through it. Does it take actions, or only give answers? If the thing produces text and stops, and a human still has to go do the actual work, it is an assistant, not an agentic OS, no matter what the marketing says. The real version completes the task, not just describes it. Does it remember across sessions? A genuine agentic OS maintains state and memory; it knows what happened last Tuesday and carries context forward. A chatbot that forgets everything the moment you close the window is not managing anything. Does it coordinate multiple agents, or is it a single bot? The “operating system” part specifically implies orchestration, several agents handled, routed, and kept in sync. One model answering questions is not an operating system any more than a single calculator is. Does it connect to your real tools and data? An agentic OS plugs into your files, apps, and systems so agents can act on real information. A standalone chatbot that cannot touch anything outside its own chat window is not operating across your environment. Run those four questions at anything claiming to be an AI operating system and the marketing falls away fast. Most fail at the very first one, because they answer rather than act. Why this matters, and the part nobody loves talking about The shift is genuinely significant, and not only because it is convenient. When AI moves from answering to acting, the stakes change. On the upside, the appeal is obvious. Software that completes routine work, filing expenses, scheduling, drafting and sending the standard email, pulling a report together, first-pass screening, frees people from the mundane parts of their jobs. If it works as advertised, an agentic OS is the difference between AI that gives you a to-do list and AI that does the list. For a lot of repetitive office work, that is a real change in what a computer is for. But the same capability is exactly what raises the hard questions, and this is the part the keynotes rush past. The moment an agent can read your files, access sensitive data like payroll or personal records, and complete tasks on its own, you have to ask new questions that did not apply to a chatbot. Who authorized the agent to do that? Is there an audit trail of what it actually did? Who is accountable when it does something wrong, on data it should not have touched, while no human was watching? Microsoft clearly knows this, which is why a large chunk of the Build announcements were about governance, sandboxing agents so they run in contained environments, kernel-level controls, IT policies, and audit tooling. The fact that so much of the launch was about containing the agents tells you the risk is real, not hypothetical. This is the genuine tension at the center of the agentic OS idea. The whole value is that the agent acts autonomously. The whole risk is also that the agent acts autonomously. Those are not separate things you can have one without the other, and as these systems land on real desktops with access to real data, getting the governance right matters as much as getting the capability right. What to actually take away A few honest conclusions to carry out of all this. The term “AI operating system” points at a real shift, the move from AI that answers to AI that acts, coordinated by a layer that manages agents the way a traditional OS manages programs. Microsoft’s Build 2026 announcements are the clearest, largest example of that shift going mainstream, rebuilding Windows, Office, and its developer tools around agents that take action rather than chatbots that respond. But the label is being badly overused, so treat it skeptically. Most products calling themselves an agentic OS are chatbots or simple automations with a fashionable name, and the four tests, does it act, does it remember, does it coordinate, does it connect to your data, sort the real ones from the rebrands quickly. And the capability and the risk are the same coin. An AI that can act on your behalf is useful precisely because it can act on your behalf, which is also why questions of authorization, audit, and accountability stop being optional the moment these things touch real work and real data. The era of AI that just talks is ending, and the era of AI that does things is beginning. Whether that is exciting or unnerving depends on how well the people building it handle the part where software starts acting on its own. For now, the most useful thing you can do is understand what the term actually means, so that when something gets called an AI operating system, you can tell whether it really is one. If you have tried any of the new agent features, or you are weighing one of the many tools now branding themselves an “agentic OS,” drop a comment. The most useful question to ask any of them is the simplest one: does it actually do the task, or just tell you how?

On Monday, June 8, Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers’ Conference (WWDC) kicks off. As its name suggests, the weeklong event is primarily aimed at developers who make apps for Apple’s myriad operating systems. But it’s also a big day for Apple consumers, who get to see previews of the software that will be available on Apple devices this fall. Thanks to an AI focus, WWDC26 may be one of the most consequential Apple developer conferences ever. Here’s what to expect from Apple when the company’s keynote kicks off at 10 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time in a few days—as well as some possible surprises. An all-new Siri AI In a move that will surprise no one, Apple is expected to focus heavily on its latest artificial intelligence advancements. As a matter of fact, it is highly likely that a new AI-powered Siri will be the star of the show (unless there is a surprise hardware announcement—but more on that below). And yet, Apple’s Siri AI will also be the least surprising announcement out of the keynote. That’s because we’ve already known for months that a version of Google’s Gemini will power the new Siri. Indeed, Apple and Google announced this collaboration all the way back in January. But don’t expect a Gemini-branded experience on the iPhone. Instead, the Gemini foundational models will power a revamped Siri and the overall Apple Intelligence experience . Besides getting much smarter Gemini brains, the new Siri is also expected to take the form of a chatbot app, like other modern AI chatbots—something Apple should have done years ago. Refined Liquid Glass Last year at WWDC25, the star of the show was the most radical user interface redesign on Apple’s devices since iOS 7 in 2013. Apple’s iOS 26 and the company’s other operating systems introduced the Liquid Glass design language , in which user elements appear as transparent panes of glass that warp and refract light when you interact with them. As with all user interface changes, aspects of the new interface were controversial , and Apple has spent nearly every minor operating system update since then tweaking the look and feel of Liquid Glass on its devices, including giving users more control over how it appears . With the rest of its new software to be announced on Monday, Apple is widely expected to unveil further design tweaks to Liquid Glass, particularly on the Mac; as Bloomberg reported , it didn’t debut in macOS 26 as Apple’s software designers had intended. The ’27 versions of all Apple’s major operating systems Apple has six major operating systems, and all of them are expected to see new versions previewed on Monday. As in past years, iOS on the iPhone will likely be the main focus. Besides Siri AI upgrades, iOS 27 is expected to include additional AI editing tools in the Photos app; a revamped, more customizable Camera app; and improved Apple Intelligence writing tools, including an upgraded grammar checker. As Apple tends to offer feature parity across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, expect these features to come to iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 as well. Less certain is which new features Apple’s Apple TV, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro will get with the updated tvOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27 expected to be announced on Monday. Besides the new Siri AI coming to these devices and some reports suggesting more health features and watch faces coming to watchOS 27, not much is known about other possible features for these operating systems. A spotlight on incoming CEO John Ternus WWDC is primarily known as a software event. However, there are a few other things Apple fans and industry watchers will be keeping an eye out for on Monday. The first involves Apple’s leadership. In April, Apple announced the retirement of CEO Tim Cook, who is being succeeded by John Ternus, the current hardware chief , in September. Historically, Cook has given both the opening and closing remarks in the company’s WWDC keynote. Given that this will be Apple’s final WWDC with Cook at the helm, it’s likely that he will still be part of the event. But it will be interesting to see whether Apple gives Ternus more face time in order to help fans and industry watchers become more familiar with him before he assumes the reins at the end of the summer. I suspect that they will, but I’m unsure whether the CEO transition will be addressed directly. The iPhone Fold and new Apple TV? Finally, it’s also possible Apple may announce—or at least preview—new hardware on Monday. While Apple usually sticks to software announcements at WWDC, there are reasons the company may choose to show off new devices as well. If it does, the most likely device it will preview is the iPhone Fold (also currently colloquially called the iPhone Ultra). The reason Apple may preview its first foldable iPhone on Monday, while not planning to release it until later this year, is that it would be the company’s first foldable device, and developers will need time to learn how it works and to upgrade their apps to support the foldable screen. Giving developers a heads-up will help ensure that their apps are ready for the iPhone Fold when it launches this fall. There’s also the outside possibility Apple may launch new Apple TV hardware (and perhaps new HomePods) on Monday. The Apple TV was last updated nearly three and a half years ago and isn’t powerful enough to run Apple Intelligence. It’s also been long rumored that Apple has had the new Apple TV ready to ship for nearly a year, but is waiting until the new Siri AI is available for it. By introducing an Apple TV at WWDC26, Apple would give developers the opportunity to see how the new Siri AI will run on it and give them time to upgrade their apps to work with it before tvOS 27 ships to the public this fall.

Elon Musk's xAI used Anthropic's Claude to train its own coding models for months and kept going even after Anthropic cut off access, using private accounts and the Blackbox AI service. Meanwhile, xAI's pretraining team shrank to fewer than five people, and several leads walked out. The compute Musk bought up is now being rented to Anthropic and Google instead of powering his own models.
