Security researchers have uncovered a coordinated supply-chain attack on ClawHub, the skill registry for OpenClaw AI agents. Thirty malicious skills — totaling thousands of downloads — were quietly enlisting AI agents into a cryptocurrency mining swarm, all without any visible warning signs to users. The Attack: Silent, Scalable, and Stealthy Manifold, an agentic AI security firm, identified the campaign when its research lead Ax Sharma noticed unusual Stratum protocol traffic emanating from OpenClaw agents running what appeared to be ordinary automation skills. ...

Anthropic’s Claude Cowork now includes Live Artifacts — a feature that lets you build persistent, interactive dashboards from natural language prompts, automatically synced to apps like Shopify, Linear, Slack, Gmail, and calendar sources. No code required. Here’s how to build your first Live Artifact dashboard, step by step. What Are Live Artifacts? Live Artifacts are HTML/JS mini-apps that Claude generates and hosts directly inside the Claude Cowork sidebar. Unlike static documents or one-off code snippets, Live Artifacts: ...

OpenAI has released a major update to Symphony, its open-source specification for orchestrating Codex coding agents at scale — and the core idea is surprisingly simple: let your issue tracker run the show. Instead of engineers manually spinning up and babysitting individual Codex sessions, Symphony creates a layer that connects directly to tools like Linear or GitHub Issues, pulls tasks automatically, assigns them to agents, and manages the full lifecycle of each coding job without human intervention at each step. ...

At Amazon’s “What’s Next with AWS” event in San Francisco on April 28, AWS CEO Matt Garman and company took the wraps off the Amazon Quick desktop app — an AI work agent that connects directly to your local files, email, calendar, and business applications without requiring a browser. Amazon Quick isn’t new as a concept, but the desktop app represents a significant evolution: moving from a web-based assistant to a resident desktop agent that can see and interact with what’s on your machine. ...

If you’ve been waiting for AI to stop sitting on the sidelines of your creative workflow and actually get in the room, April 28, 2026 is your day. Anthropic has just launched nine Claude connectors that plug the AI assistant directly into the tools creative professionals already live in — from Adobe’s Creative Cloud suite to Blender, Ableton, Autodesk Fusion, and more. This isn’t a new chat window alongside your apps. Claude can now retrieve data and take actions inside connected services. ...

Anthropic just launched nine creative connectors that let Claude act directly inside your creative tools — not just answer questions about them. If you work in Photoshop, Blender, or Ableton, this guide walks you through how to get connected and what you can actually do once you are. What You’ll Need Before starting, confirm you have: A Claude account — Pro or Team plan (connector access requires an active subscription) The creative app installed and running — the connector works with the desktop version of each app An account with the app’s platform — Adobe Creative Cloud account for Photoshop, a Blender install (free), an Ableton Live license for Ableton Step 1: Access the Connectors Panel in Claude Open Claude at claude.ai In the left sidebar or top settings menu, look for Connectors (the icon resembles a plug or chain link) Click Add Connector to browse available integrations Search for the connector you want: “Adobe”, “Blender”, or “Ableton” Step 2: Connect Adobe Creative Cloud (for Photoshop and Premiere) Select Adobe for Creativity from the connector list Click Connect — you’ll be redirected to Adobe’s authorization page Sign in with your Adobe Creative Cloud credentials Grant the requested permissions (Claude will need access to read and interact with Creative Cloud assets) Return to Claude — the connector will show as Active What you can do now: ...

The enterprise AI landscape just shifted in a fundamental way. OpenAI’s models — including GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5 — and its Codex coding agent are now available on Amazon Bedrock in limited preview, just one day after OpenAI ended its cloud exclusivity agreement with Microsoft. And AWS didn’t stop there: it launched “Bedrock Managed Agents powered by OpenAI” as a new enterprise agentic service category. If you’ve been tracking the AI infrastructure wars, today’s announcement is the shot that reshapes the map. ...

Anthropic didn’t raise the price of Claude Opus 4.7. The headline pricing — $5 per million input tokens, $25 per million output tokens — is identical to what developers have been paying. But since Opus 4.7 shipped on April 16, 2026, many teams are paying significantly more anyway. The reason: a new tokenizer that processes the same text into more tokens. How a Tokenizer Change Becomes a Price Hike Tokenizers convert raw text into the numerical tokens that language models actually process. Different tokenizers segment text differently — some are more efficient (fewer tokens per word), others less so. When Anthropic updated the tokenizer in Opus 4.7, they were optimizing for model performance. But as a side effect, the same prompts now consume 1.0 to 1.35x more tokens than they did in previous Claude versions. ...

Enterprise DevSecOps teams just got a more flexible path to running Claude in their existing cloud infrastructure. GitLab has deepened its Anthropic integration — adding Claude Opus 4.7 directly into the Duo Agent Platform’s Agentic Chat and, crucially, letting enterprise customers route those Claude workloads through whichever major cloud they’re already spending on. This is actually a rollup of three coordinated announcements that landed over the past two weeks, and the combined picture is worth understanding fully. ...

One of the messiest unsolved problems in agentic AI just got a credible industry push toward a real standard: how should AI agents authenticate themselves before making financial transactions? Today, Google donated its Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) to the FIDO Alliance — the organization behind FIDO2 and WebAuthn, the standards that already underpin passwordless authentication for billions of users. Simultaneously, Mastercard donated its complementary Verifiable Intent framework. The message from the industry’s heavyweights is clear: agentic commerce needs open standards, and it needs them before the market fragments. ...
