OpenAI has demonstrated an AI agent, GPT-5.6 Sol, successfully calibrating a quantum chip at MIT, showcasing the potential of AI agents beyond chatbots to control real-world hardware in a bounded workflow. Separately, an open-source project called vault-mcp offers a way to manage personal AI context across different models by storing it in a user-controlled Git repository. The AI news cycle also included reports of Cohere potentially raising $3 billion at a $20 billion valuation, and a concerning trend of stolen AI login tokens being traded on the black market, alongside instances of AI-generated misinformation in legal filings.
