Muse Wonder costs $4 input / $20 output per million tokens on the Meta Model API, with cached input at $0.20. That is exactly Claude Opus 5.5’s price. The stronger Wonder Full is not on the API. You only get it inside Muse Code, on the $50 and $200 monthly plans. It leads on memory and long-horizon coding (MemoryBench 85.6, DeepSWE 78.8, both ahead of Opus 5.5) but trails Opus 5.5 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. Meta’s first frontier model costs exactly what Claude Opus 5.5 costs, down to the cached-input rate, and scores 6 points lower on the most widely cited independent index. What it offers in return is something none of its rivals do as well: remembering what matters across a long conversation. ...

Google Cloud's introduction to the Gemini agent. Source: Google Cloud (YouTube) Gemini Agent for Work in 30 Seconds Announced October 8, 2026 at Gemini at Work. One agent that answers questions, does knowledge work, makes images and media, and writes and runs code. Access today: private preview for select customers only. Wider rollout to Gemini Enterprise and select Workspace Business and Enterprise plans is “coming soon”, no date. Price: Google says no additional charge where Gemini Enterprise is available, existing Workspace business subscriptions included. Coworker agent licensing is still unanswered. Want an agent right now on a personal account? That is Gemini Spark in the Gemini app, on Google AI Pro or Ultra. Google Cloud’s new Gemini agent is the company’s answer to a simple question: what if the prompt box were where work starts, not where you ask for help? You hand it an objective, it plans the steps, uses your tools, runs for hours or days in the cloud if needed, and comes back with the finished doc, deck, report or code. ...

Anthropic's launch video for Claude Dashboards and Claude Motion. Source: Claude (YouTube) Claude Dashboards and Motion in 30 Seconds Dashboards (beta, Pro and up): connect BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, ClickHouse or Salesforce, ask a question in plain English, get a dashboard that stays current. Every chart shows its SQL. Motion (beta, Team and Enterprise only): type /motion, describe the explainer, edit it, export an MP4. It animates your own text and charts with code; no video model, no AI people. Docs, Slides and Design left beta the same day and are now on every plan, including Free. Launched October 8, 2026. The standalone claude.ai/design site closes December 14. Anthropic shipped two new artifact types on October 8, 2026. Claude Dashboards answers questions about your company’s data with a live dashboard, and Claude Motion turns a report or a chart into a short animated explainer you can download as MP4. Both are in beta, and both are built so you can check the work: every chart exposes its query, every animation is editable code. ...

Photocraft in 30 Seconds Photocraft is a free, open source image editor that copies Photoshop’s menus, shortcuts and PSD files. It is written from scratch in Rust and licensed MIT or Apache-2.0. The GitHub repo opened on September 30, 2026 and reached 31,946 stars in nine days. The current release is 0.5.0 (October 8) for Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD and the web. Layers, masks, 16 adjustment layers, 70+ filters, layer styles and PSD open/save all work. There is no Generative Fill or any other generative AI. The developers’ own estimate: it covers 25 to 35% of what a professional needs to switch for daily work. Worth installing, too early to cancel Creative Cloud. A team rebuilt seven Adobe apps in Rust with heavy help from AI and gives all of them away. The one getting the attention is Photocraft, an image editor designed so that anyone who knows Photoshop can use it on day one. Its GitHub repo went public on September 30, passed 31,946 stars by October 9, and the Windows installer of the latest release alone has been downloaded more than 55,000 times. ...
