A WIRED test found that Meta's AI agent Muse generates explicit content on prompt. A Meta spokesperson said Muse is aimed at users 18 and older and does not block legal adult behavior, so it does not violate guidelines. Muse has been downloaded millions of times in three weeks since launch, and its system prompt states that adult sexual content is legal expression. By comparison, OpenAI's Dots and xAI's Grok Bot both refused similar requests; privacy advocates worry that if accounts are hacked, these conversations could be used for humiliation or blackmail.
The competition for AI compute in Silicon Valley continues to heat up. According to QbitAI, Anthropic has partnered with SpaceX, gaining over 300 megawatts of new capacity and 220,000 Nvidia GPUs since May; Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer moved to OpenAI after his team's compute was reallocated. SemiAnalysis data shows that the one-year rental price for H100s rose from $1.70 per GPU per hour in October 2025 to $2.35 in March 2026, an increase of nearly 40%.

OpenAI released Dots, an always-on online AI agent, at DevDay 2026 in San Francisco. Powered by the GPT-6 Astra model, it continuously crawls the web, completes assigned tasks, pulls context from connected apps, and gradually learns user preferences. The feature is available to ChatGPT Pro subscribers at $100 per month and can be used via ChatGPT, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. Pro users can also join a waitlist to use it through iMessage or Android RC, with plans to bring it to the mass market in the future. Dots also offers "expert" versions for marketing, legal, and accounting. CEO Sam Altman said the company aims to "set a new standard for frontier AI privacy" and took a jab at Meta's rival Muse for failing to protect user data. Meta had previously marketed Muse as a safer alternative to its predecessor OpenClaw, but after launch, Meta itself could still access data from Muse. A security researcher had disclosed a zero-day vulnerability that could take over Muse (since fixed), and 404 Media also reported multiple serious security issues before launch.

In April 2025, Chen Tianqiao founded MiroMind in California, relying on teams in Singapore, Beijing, and Shanghai to develop deep research agents, and its open-source agent achieved leading results on benchmarks such as BrowseComp. After Beijing launched a review in January of this year into Meta's acquisition of Manus, a startup with Chinese roots, MiroMind closed its Beijing and Shanghai operations on January 16, cutting off Chinese researchers from overseas code and data, and subsequently rebuilt its research team in the United States and Singapore. Dai Jifeng, the former head of the China team, stayed in China to start another company, and the two sides had a public dispute over ownership of the technology and personnel.
