The new model expands Claude's context window from 200,000 tokens to one million, enabling it to handle more complex tasks like sweeping changes to entire code bases, according to Anthropic's head of product management.

Anthropic says Opus 4.6 outperforms OpenAI's GPT-5.2 on a benchmark evaluating AI for knowledge work in fields like finance and legal, and a new PowerPoint integration lets users build slides that match corporate templates.

Following Cowork's plugin release last Friday, Thomson Reuters fell 15.83% and Legalzoom dropped nearly 20% on Tuesday, as investors fear the AI tool could replace specialized software.

A people analytics SaaS company helping enterprises track workforce data struggled to connect programmatic ad spend to qualified pipeline. Its agency partnered with AI Digital for a head-to-head test.

Pattern: AI models handle contextual targeting, bidding, and audience optimization autonomously while humans review monthly reports, refine creative, and validate data quality.

Why it matters: Upper-funnel prospecting matched or exceeded retargeting results, generating qualified interest earlier in the buying cycle. Teams can shift budget from low-yield retargeting to precision prospecting.

Metric: AI Digital delivered 3x higher click-through rate and 2x conversion efficiency versus the incumbent partner. Video completion also rose 25% above benchmark.

Steal this: In Google Ads or Meta, switch one campaign to "Performance Max" or "Advantage+" (the AI modes). Let it run alongside a manually targeted campaign for two weeks. See which gets more clicks per dollar.

OpenAI's ChatGPT is now doubling as a digital caricature artist. Users are uploading selfies and asking the chatbot to create exaggerated cartoon portraits based on their appearance and job, producing the kind of playful sketches once reserved for boardwalks and theme parks.

The viral prompt driving the trend: "Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me." Users with extensive ChatGPT history are getting surprisingly personalized results, with the AI pulling details from past conversations to fill in hobbies, interests, and professional quirks.

For those without a deep chat history, a more detailed prompt works just as well. Any generative image AI should handle the request, though ChatGPT remains the most popular choice for the trend.

Amazon has launched Alexa+ nationwide, offering its next-generation AI assistant for $19.99/month or included at no extra cost for Prime members, making it the company's most aggressive push yet into conversational AI.

The upgraded assistant works across Echo devices, a new Alexa.com web interface, and the mobile app, with capabilities including AI-powered shopping, restaurant reservations, family calendar coordination, and complex topic summaries.

By bundling Alexa+ into Prime at no extra cost, Amazon is making its AI assistant a core household benefit, positioning itself against OpenAI, Google, and Apple in the consumer AI race.
