Together they claim roughly $600 million in ARR and well over 10,000 customers, with both product names staying put to avoid disruption. https://www.getdbt.com/blog/dbt-labs-and-fivetran-merge-announcementIntroducing ChatGPT Atlas | 2025-10-21 OpenAI launched ChatGPT Atlas, a macOS browser with ChatGPT built in, reframing browsing around an AI assistant that understands context across tabs. Agent mode—available in preview—can open pages and complete tasks like booking appointments, while optional browser memories and parental controls aim to balance convenience with privacy. https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-atlas/Microsoft Edge’s new Copilot Mode turns on more AI features | 2025-10-24 Just days after OpenAI’s Atlas debut, Microsoft rolled out Copilot Mode in Edge, pitching the browser itself as an AI companion. It can summarize across tabs and take “Actions”—like unsubscribing from emails or making reservations—though early tests found the automation patchy and sometimes misleading. https://www.theverge.com/news/805833/microsoft-edge-copilot-mode-ai-launchAnthropic to use Google's AI chips worth tens of billions to train Claude chatbot | 2025-10-24 Anthropic struck a multiyear deal to tap up to one million of Google’s Tensor Processing Units, dramatically expanding compute for future Claude models. The agreement—valued in the tens of billions—targets more than one gigawatt of capacity coming online in 2026, underscoring the shift toward TPUs as Nvidia alternatives. https://www.reuters.com/technology/anthropic-expand-use-google-clouds-tpu-chips-2025-10-23/Living dangerously with Claude | 2025-10-22 Simon Willison describes the appeal of running Claude Code in “YOLO mode”—letting agents work with minimal prompts and permissions to ship real projects fast. He then flips the coin, warning that prompt injection and data exfiltration risks demand strong sandboxing if you’re granting agents broad access. https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/22/living-dangerously-with-claude/Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol | n.d. Pydantic AI adds first-class support for Google’s Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, an open standard for inter-agent messaging and task handoff. The new FastA2A library and a convenience to_a2a() wrapper expose Python agents as A2A servers, handling task storage, context threads, and artifacts out of the box. https://ai.pydantic.dev/a2a/Announcing Cloudflare Email Service’s private beta | 2025-09-25 Cloudflare introduced Email Service, letting developers send and receive email directly from Workers without juggling third-party APIs. It auto-configures SPF, DKIM and DMARC for deliverability and runs on Cloudflare’s global network, with “Email Sending” in private beta ahead of pricing details. https://blog.cloudflare.com/email-service/Meet the real screen addicts: the elderly | 2025-10-23 The Economist argues that older adults, not teens, now dominate screen time—and that their usage is only set to grow. With pensioners spending more than half their waking hours on devices, the piece probes whether screens are worsening isolation and health or offering connection and care. https://www.economist.com/international/2025/10/23/meet-the-real-screen-addicts-the-elderly
