Microsoft

Microsoft just dropped a major AI update — and it’s reshaping what “work” even means.

This week, the company introduced two new Copilot agents: Researcher and Analyst. These aren’t your average assistants. They’re built to handle serious tasks — think deep research, data forecasting, and autonomous decision-making.

And that’s not all.

Alongside the launch, Microsoft rolled out its 2025 Work Trend Index, revealing how AI is rewriting workplace norms.

Trending Today
  • Unitree has announced the Robots boxing match, naming the competition ‘Unitree iron fist king’. This will be the first time two robots fighting against each other in a boxing match. This will be the beginning of robots being used in sports and competing against each other to see who will win.

  • OpenAI is set to release its first fully downloadable AI model in years, designed to outperform open-source models from Meta and DeepSeek. Internally dubbed a “reasoning” model, it may feature an optional “handoff” capability, enabling it to invoke OpenAI’s larger, cloud-hosted models for complex queries via API.

  • OpenAI's Head of Product for ChatGPT Nick Turley, testified that the company would consider purchasing the Chrome browser if an antitrust ruling required Google to sell it. The idea came after Google previously declined OpenAI’s request for search data access, which led to the development of a slower, in-house search tool. The company has already hired former Chrome engineers and explored building a browser internally.

  • OpenAI has introduced a cost-efficient, lightweight version of its Deep Research feature for free-tier ChatGPT users, offering up to five queries per month. This version runs on the o4-mini model, providing comparable depth to the standard o3-powered tool, though responses may be shorter.
