OpenAI is losing its second executive this week
Another OpenAI executive is departing. Denise Dresser, who joined OpenAI as its chief revenue officer in December after serving as CEO of Slack, will be leaving in the "coming weeks" to "pursue other opportunities," she said in a team note posted to LinkedIn. Dali Rajic, president and COO of Wiz, will be taking over the CRO role, OpenAI says. Dresser's departure is just the latest in a string of major exits. Earlier this week, special projects lead and former COO Brad Lightcap announced he would be leaving. (Dresser had taken over some of Lightcap's work when he moved to the special projects role.) Former AGI chief Fidji Simo and former CMO … Read the full story at The Verge.

The Trump admin will start letting private firms launch international cyberattacks
The Trump administration is launching a new program that will allow private firms to perform cyberattacks against foreign criminals, as reported earlier by Bloomberg. The private firms would operate "under the control and oversight" of the federal government, giving them permission to surveil and disrupt criminal networks, according to a presidential memorandum published on Wednesday. The Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security will oversee the private firms, which must meet requirements in "technical proficiency, proven performance of cyber operations, facility security," and more. Companies in the program must hold a bon … Read the full story at The Verge.

Google’s Gemini 3.7 Flash targets coding and agents with a 50% introductory price cut
Google is rolling out Gemini 3.7 Flash, a new version of its workhorse AI model that puts coding, agentic workflows and knowledge work at the center of the upgrade — while temporarily cutting API prices in half.The release arrives just three weeks after the release of Gemini 3.6 Flash, an unusually short turnaround that Google attributes to developer feedback and algorithmic improvements. For enterprise developers, the more consequential story may be the combination of those intelligence gains with lower inference costs: through the end of 2026, Gemini 3.7 Flash costs $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens.Starting Jan. 1, 2027, pricing rises to $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens. That means the current discount is temporary, but it gives teams deploying high-volume coding and business agents several months to evaluate whether Google s claimed reductions in retries and manual oversight translate into lower total operating cost
You can now just point at a mess and this robot vacuum will suck it up
The Matic robot vacuum now offers gesture controlled spot cleaning and a built-in voice assistant. | Photo by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge Matic, my current favorite robot vacuum, just got a big upgrade. The company has launched Matic Cues, which brings voice and gesture control to the robot. Now, you can talk directly to your vacuum to tell it what you want it to do, or just point at a mess to have it spot-clean. The feature launches today, August 13 at 2 pm ET, and will show as an option in the Matic app under Settings Matic Cues. The update arrives just ahead of a planned price hike on September 9, which will see the WALL-E-style robot's price go from $1,245 to $1,495. I've been playing with Matic Cues for a day or so, and so far it's working well. Gesture control is th … Read the full story at The Verge.

DeepSeek Harness launches as open source rival to Claude Code, alongside V4-Pro on API with higher prices
DeepSeek is expanding beyond the model layer and deeper into the software developers use to put AI agents to work.The Chinese AI lab on Thursday launched the official version of DeepSeek-V4-Pro, an updated flagship model focused heavily on agentic workloads, alongside DeepSeek Harness v0.1, a new open-source agent harness that gives developers an alternative to integrated coding-agent environments such as Anthropic’s Claude Code.Together, the releases amount to a broader developer push from DeepSeek. V4-Pro is now available across DeepSeek’s web interface, mobile app and API, with native support for the OpenAI Responses API and integration with Codex. DeepSeek Harness, meanwhile, is entering developer preview under the MIT license and the code is available now for download and use on GitHub. It s built around an unusually modular premise: practically every part of the agent runtime can be swapped out as a plugin.But developers accessing V4 through DeepSeek’s API will soon pay considera
