• OpenAI has officially released its Realtime API, adding a new gpt-realtime speech model and fresh developer tools. The model can detect tone, switch languages mid-conversation, and now handles images like photos or screenshots. It reaches 82.8% accuracy on audio reasoning, a big jump from 65.6% in the earlier version

• Anthropic is rolling out a Chrome extension for Claude, starting with 1,000 Max subscribers, with a waitlist open for others. The extension lets users chat with Claude directly in Chrome and have it handle tasks like adding items to a cart, searching a page, or filling out forms. Anthropic says giving AI agents browser access creates new safety risks, but its protections (like permissions, blocked sites, and suspicious-pattern checks) reduced prompt injection attacks from 23.6% to 11.2%.

• Higgsfield AI launched a series of mini apps that let users create different types of content in one click. For example, users can create commercials and effects in a few seconds without needing any editing or technical skills. The platform comes with 2,000+ apps powered by Google’s new ‘Nano banana’ image model.
