Google says AI agents are crossing a threshold from task-level assistance into end-to-end execution, completing tasks on their own. In its newly released 2026 AI Agent Trends Report, Google says modern agents can already understand a goal, develop multi-step plans and take actions on behalf of users under human oversight, signaling a move away from experimental use cases toward operational deployment. Google says the biggest change ahead is not better chat interfaces, but the rise of agentic workflows where multiple agents work together to automate business workflows from start to finish. “Multiple agents in a system can collaborate, coordinate and…

An analyst says Nvidia’s multi-billion-dollar agreement with Groq is all about securing long-term control over AI inference economics as artificial intelligence moves into real products. In a new thread on X, Futurum Equities chief market strategist Shay Boloor says Nvidia already dominates AI training and a large share of inference, with its roadmap continuing to push cost-per-token lower while expanding performance through platforms like GB300 and Rubin. “This was about owning inference economics, not fixing a chip gap.” The analyst notes that while training is largely a one-time event, inference is where recurring revenue and long-term business models are created as…
The gen AI market is moving away from single-platform dominance as user traffic fragments across a growing field of competitors. New data from Similarweb shows that twelve months ago, ChatGPT accounted for 87.2% of global generative AI website traffic, effectively operating as a near-monopoly. As of December 5, that share has fallen to 68.0%, marking a decisive shift toward a multi-platform ecosystem. The most notable gainer over that period has been Gemini, which has grown from 5.4% of traffic a year ago to 18.2% today, approaching the psychologically important 20% threshold. The acceleration has been steady, with Gemini’s share rising…
Vinod Khosla says generative artificial intelligence could reshape income inequality by compressing wages at the top faster than at the bottom, while simultaneously driving down the cost of living across the economy. In a new post on X, the billionaire investor says he believes that AI’s economic impact is likely to fall most heavily on higher earners rather than the lowest-income households. He adds that the more consequential effect may come from falling costs, which he believes could outpace wage declines if the technology is applied broadly. “GenAI is likely to drive down wages for the 50th–95th percentile more than for…
Tom Lee says a shift is underway inside the US banking sector that could change how the market values some of its biggest players. In a new interview on CNBC, the Fundstrat co-founder says financial services firms are emerging as some of the biggest downstream beneficiaries of blockchain and AI, particularly as automation reshapes cost structures across the industry. “But then there’s also, I think, some tailwinds building for the financial services, which you guys mentioned are doing well, which is that financial services companies are really big beneficiaries of AI. And they’re big beneficiaries of using blockchain technology. Both…
Mark Andrusko says the next generation of AI applications will move beyond prompt-based interfaces, shifting toward systems that act with initiative and require far less direct instruction from users. In a new video update, the Andreessen Horowitz partner believes that the familiar prompt box is nearing the end of its usefulness as AI systems become more capable of observing context and acting proactively. “My big idea for 2026 is the death of the prompt box as the primary user interface for AI applications.” Andrusko says the next wave of AI apps will not rely on users carefully telling systems what…
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has charged seven related entities for allegedly running a sweeping crypto investment scam that extracted at least $14 million from US retail investors. In a civil complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in Colorado, the SEC says defendants Morocoin Tech Corp, Berge Blockchain Technology, Cirkor, AI Wealth, Lane Wealth, AI Investment and Education Foundation and Zenith Asset Tech Foundation operated fake crypto trading platforms and WhatsApp-based investment clubs that claimed to offer AI-powered trading signals and early access to lucrative token offerings. According to the SEC, the defendants lured investors with promises of…
Jack Clark says the biggest limitation on benefiting from modern artificial intelligence is no longer the technology itself, but whether people have the time, curiosity and access needed to meaningfully engage with it. In a new post on X, the Anthropic co-founder says today’s AI systems are already astonishingly capable, but most of those advances remain invisible to the majority of users. “If you have a bit of intellectual curiosity and some time, you can very quickly shock yourself with how amazingly capable modern AI systems are.” He says without that combination, people tend to experience AI only in shallow,…
Nvidia has agreed to bring the founder and senior engineering leadership of Groq into its organization as part of a reported multi-billion-dollar deal focused on inference technology rather than a full company acquisition. Citing Disruptive CEO Alex Davis, CNBC reports that Nvidia purchased assets from Groq to the tune of $20 billion. The deal marks the largest purchase Nvidia has ever made while stopping short of acquiring Groq outright. Groq frames the move as a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Nvidia for its inference technology, describing it as a joint effort to expand access to high-performance, low-cost AI inference. As part…
Elon Musk says the US economy is on the cusp of a much faster growth phase, noting that applied artificial intelligence will drive a sharp acceleration beyond current trends. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis shows that real gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 4.3% in the third quarter of 2025, exceeding economists’ expectations of 3.2%, with consumer spending rising 3.5% after a 2.5% gain in the prior quarter. Musk says the backdrop is an early signal of what he believes is coming next as AI becomes more widely applied across the economy. “Double-digit growth…
